Summary
He revisits his scathing review, saying widespread praise, awards, and Twitch popularity still make Baldur’s Gate 3’s acclaim incomprehensible. He calls it generic and boring, criticizing its graphics, confusing maps, top-down presentation, controls, menus, inventory, and supposedly unpolished gameplay. Despite enjoying Darkest Dungeon, XCOM, Elden Ring, and Diablo 3, he refuses a £50 rebuy after refunding BG3, retaining 6.2/10.
Insight
The transcript reinforces a persistent mismatch between his personal gaming response and mass audience consensus.
