As expected, lots of reviews in progress given the size of the game and the fact that critics have only apparently only had access since this week, but the consensus so far is pretty clear:

• "So far this is an absurdly impressive CRPG" - PC Gamer

• "On the whole, I really am loving Baldur's Gate 3 so far" - IGN

• "For now, it feels like Larian has accomplished the impossible" - GamesRadar

• "So far, so great" - Screen Rant

• "Baldur's Gate 3's world is beautiful, layered and complex" - PCGamesN

...and so on. The only outlets who've scored it so far are all 9/10 or higher.

I started a playthrough last night and can feel myself getting hooked. I completed the Early Access version and worried I'd find it really boring playing the same content again, but it's actually fine, it's cool seeing the extra polish and little tweaks. The character creator in particular is so much deeper, offering all the core 5E races and classes and a few from the supplements. I was in the game for an hour before I started playing!

So yeah - like there was any doubt - it's going to be awesome.
