Baldur’s Gate 3 was the best game of 2023 according to Metacritic, overtaking The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

The recently released game from Larian Studios is clearly already many fans, since she climbed to the top of the chart of the best Metacritic games with a fantastic ranking of 97 points. This becomes even more impressive, if you recall that earlier Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom took this first place with the rating 96.

It is important to note that the assessment of Tears of the Kingdom is based on 145 reviews of critics, while Baldur’s Gate 3 currently has only 14 reviews. This is due to the fact that many publications have not yet put a role -playing assessment. This means that the rating can go along any way – it can firmly take first place in the list or fall down a little, but only time will tell.

Now the top 10 looks like this:

1. Baldur’s Gate 3 – 97
2. Tears of the Kingdom – 96
3. Metroid Prime Remastered – 94
4. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Complete Edition – 94
5. Resident Evil 4 – 93
6. Street Fighter 6 – 92
7. Diablo 4 – 91
8. Rogue Legacy 2 – 90
9. Jack Jeanne – 90
10. Moss: Book 2 – 90

The developers noted the achievement of this line in x. Michael DAUS, the director of publishing Larian Studios, shared the screenshot of the pages of the game on Metacritic with Emoji, depicting a bowing person, which, in fact, speaks for itself. After that, the composer Baldur’s Gate 3 Borislav Slava retained (or it is better to write now "Reicl"?) Daus, adding: "Without words. Happy. Thankful".

It will be interesting to see if the next large role -playing game Starfield can be compared in terms of assessments with Baldur’s Gate 3 or Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. If so, this is the best year in terms of role -playing games for a long time and, undoubtedly, it will be difficult to determine who will become the game of the year.
