TapTap Game of the Year 2023 #1: Baldur’s Gate 3 - the new gold standard
In a year of astonishingly great games, there was one that captured the hearts of players around the world, not to mention those of the editorial team here at TapTap. Baldur’s Gate 3 is our 2023 Game of the Year, and we’re confident that it’ll be remembered fondly in the years and decades to come as one of the most important games of our time.
At every turn, Baldur’s Gate 3 wants to give you more: more options, more spells, more story, more drama. It opens with the crash of a dimension-hopping mind flayer ship, in the wreckage of which you’ll encounter the first of many memorable companions who will join you on your journey. Your first goal is to rid your brains of the invasive psychic parasite that’s been placed there by the squid-faced mind flayers, but every step of the journey draws you deeper into a darker and far-reaching conspiracy that leads all the way back to the high reaches of power in the city of Baldur’s Gate itself.
