Baldur's Gate III

The Good
A few of the scenes like Act 2 look nice

The Bad
- The 3D camera is awful. - Turn-based combat takes way too long compared to BG1/2 RTWP. - Characters and monsters many actions and move too far per turn. - It has 4 party members instead of 6 like in BG1/2. - The UI is very ugly compared to BG1/2. - The 3D character faces/portraits are very ugly compared to the drawn portraits in BG1/2. - It includes childish reddit humor like the poop knife. - It's been in early access for years, but it's still very buggy. - It's too sexual to the point of being disgusting in my opinion - The animations are comically bad. - The PC is not voiced so they just mime in the animated dialogues. - The companions are extremely unlikeable. - The environmental graphics tend to be confusing (though not as much as JA3) - The narrator is a bizarre feature

I could go on...

The Bottom Line
The story of BG ended definitively in BG2 ToB.

This is a different game that they cynically put the BG name on. I think that without the name this would be recognized as a bad or mediocre game.

Sometimes our memories deceive us, so after finding "BG3" so disappointing I went and played BG2 SoA. Yep, it's just as good as I remember it being and much better than "BG3".
