Baldur's Gate 3 is a fantastic turn-based role-playing video game based around the popular Dungeons & Dragons setting, Forgotten Realms. While it is the third game in the series, Baldur's Gate 3 returns players to the Forgotten Realms over 100 years after the previous game, allowing for new and veteran players alike to enjoy its turn-based combat derived from Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition.

The game revolves around an Illithid — Mind Flayer — invasion of Faerun. After players have an Illithid mind-controlling parasite implanted in their head, but before it can fully take effect, the players escape and must work desperately to find a way to remove the parasite. Players will recruit companions, defeat exotic monsters and evil forces, and work toward finding a way to stop the Mind Flayer invasion.
