Baldur's Gate III
Emotional profile
What the community feels
Analysis generated from players' emotional votes
Baldur's Gate 3 carries one of the best reputations in modern RPGs, and the community data mostly confirms why.
Its story lands near the top, ahead of roughly 87% of games rated here. The art direction follows closely, ahead of about 84%. And when asked which game they would take to a desert island, players put it ahead of 88% of the competition. That says a lot. This is a game people want to live in for a long time.
The surprise is where it struggles. Gameplay feels awkward with a controller, sitting in the bottom 10%. The "fun right now" factor and the social side are both below average, which makes sense for a slow, cerebral RPG. Connection, the most personal of all criteria, ranks near the bottom at 3%. That one is harder to explain, and worth noting.
For an RPG of this scale, the narrative and presentation scores are expected. But the low gameplay and connection scores suggest the experience can feel distant or mechanical for some players.
This is a game for people who love deep stories, complex choices, and patience. If you want something fast, instinctive, or easy to share with a casual friend on the couch, you will probably bounce off it.
