Baldur's Gate 3 is a role-playing game from Larian Studios, known for their successful game Divinity: Original Sin 2. Set in the Dungeons & Dragons setting, this game offers a deep story where your choices shape your journey and the world. Players can explore different areas, build relationships, and face challenges, all influenced by powers from a mysterious parasite. This is the Mac version.

Baldur’s Gate 3 lets players choose from a wide variety of character options. You can select from 12 different classes and 11 races, as outlined in the D&D Player's Handbook, or choose from one of seven unique Origin stories. Each story provides its own narrative and strategic benefits. The game operates on the Divinity 4.0 engine, which enhances how realistically characters interact and move, improving the gameplay and the way fights play out. The game has a rich storyline, offering over 174 hours of cinematic content that changes based on the decisions you make and how you interact with other characters. The combat system is complex and is based on the D&D 5e ruleset. It offers players detailed strategic options and allows them to adjust the difficulty level to match their skills.

The minimum requirements for running the game include macOS 12 or newer, an Apple M1 processor, 8 GB of RAM, an Apple M1 graphics chip, and at least 150 GB of available SSD storage. For an optimal gaming experience, it is recommended to use a system with the latest macOS version, an Apple M1 Pro or better processor, 16 GB of RAM, and an Apple M1 Pro or better graphics chip.
