What are the best games like Baldur's Gate 3? One of the best RPGs of not just this year, but in recent memory, Larian Studios' Baldur's Gate 3 surprised many with its nuanced, epic story of Cthulu-like monsters infecting a party of memorable and diverse heroes with interdimensional magic worms. Based on the 5th Edition of Dungeons and Dragons, the third entry in this storied series computer role-playing game - or CRPG - provided dozens of hours of tactical spell-slinging, dice rolling, dialogue navigating, and gorgeous fantasy world exploring fun. And there's a very real possibility that, if you played more than once with so many branching narratives and awesome classes to try, you're likely hitting the hundreds of hours.
For PCGamesN, Paul Kelly called it an instant classic in our review. But what if you finished exploring Baldur's Gate, the areas surrounding it, and another plane of existence or two besides? While there's nothing quite like Baldur's Gate 3 out there, more than a handful of games check the most important boxes: great companion characters, interesting worlds to explore, and deep RPG combat mechanics that we'll sure you'll love almost as much as adventuring through Faerun.
