One such player created a post on the Baldur’s Gate 3 subreddit on Aug. 15, where at first they seemed to be baiting others. They started by saying this game isn’t for them, and they usually enjoy multiplayer titles. Yet, after trying it since everyone was hyping it up, they are in awe of how great Baldur’s Gate 3 is.

“Two days later and I am already 30 hours into this game. What an amazing game. I gave this game 2 hours to change my mind before I refund it, and now I’m buying the deluxe edition just to support the studio behind this masterpiece,” the post reads.
