Baldur's gate III
Developer/publisher Larian Studios Format PC, Stadia Origin Belgium Release TBA
If life were a D&D campaign then 2020 would’ve rolled a one: a critical miss. But for those playing Baldur’s Gate III the year didn’t seem that bad. Not only did this chunk of early-access adventure provide a distraction from the outside world, it also gave a lesson in its unfair hardships. Rare is the encounter in which you aren’t required to throw a die to pass a skill check. The rolls are cruel, the results often worse: children killed by snakes, friends driven mad, and one exceedingly unpleasant moment of foot kissing. Did 2020 ask you to suck a goblin’s toe? No? Consider yourself lucky.
