Everything Blizzard entertainment and AAA studios should have been producing all along. This game puts all the modern gaming studios to shame by putting out a finished product with no overbearing micro transactions, battle passes, or DLC content requirements. It's extremely immersive and fun. My boyfriend and I have been playing couch co-op since launch and we are having a great time. It's always hard to find a good couch co-op game these days. The graphics are amazing, story line is great, characters are not bland NPCs, the world literally reacts around you. You literally have to take the time to think about every move you make in this game instead of mindlessly spamming buttons. You can't just bulldoze your way though the world, we've actually gotten ourselves into several fights in the game accidentally and the NPCs and environment really do give you a challenge. This game is super fun and we find ourselves laughing while playing this game at the dark humor. It's refreshing to find a modern gaming studio that isn't consumed by greed and actually put out a finished product day 1 of launch. I'm so glad I gave this game a try because I didn't know what the gold standard of gaming really could be. As someone who literally played World of Warcraft all my life, this game just puts it all to shame. I really hope BG3 gets game of the year. There's crafting, gear, lore, fancy dice rolls, lots of customization options, tons of immersive dialogue options, like what doesn't this game have? Worth the money! Oh and don't stand in the fire... Or acid puddles... Bad things happen.
