The game is right now at the top spot on Metacritic’s list of the Best Games of 2023, with a Metascore of 96 on the basis of 48 critic reviews and a user score of 9.2. Not only that, but this game has beaten another fantastic title this year, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, to claim the No. 1 spot.

Adding another feather to the crown, Baldur’s Gate 3 has been rated 97 by PC Gamer, a highly esteemed organization famous for news, demos, updates, and ratings of PC Games. It has been 16 years since any game has been rated so highly by PC Gamer, since Crysis in 2007, which was rated 98.

Since the 30 years of PC Gamers ranking, only five games have touched a rating of 97 or more:

  • Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri, 1999 [98]
  • Half-Life 2, 2004 [98]
  • Crysis, 2007 [98]
  • Sid Meier’s Civilization II, 1996 [97]
  • Half-Life, 1998 [97]

According to PC Gamer, this 97 rating for BG3 means: This game is absolutely brilliant. This is far and away one of the best games they have ever played, and they recommend it to everyone to play.

These are not the only accolades this game has garnered. Baldur’s Gate 3 has become the second-best launch of 2023 on Steam. Also, this RPG has now become the biggest CRPG and turn-based RPG Steam has ever had.

The Director Promises More Games Like This Will Come

Seeing the ratings on PC Gamer, Swen Vincke seems very happy. So much so that he retweeted the tweet of PC Gamer with some promising and proud words.

He says that he is so proud of the team, and they never expected this kind of success on the first shot.

But the one thing that made the fans go gaga was this word of Vincke’s: “The greatest thing about all of this is that we can continue to make games like this.”

That means there is a high risk that Baldur’s Gate 4 is coming very soon.
