Baldur's Gate 3, Larian Studios' most recent entry in the series, is currently the highest-rated PC game of all time on both Metacritic en Opencritic.

The third installment in the famous Baldur's Gate videogame series was released on PC after a lengthy early-access period.

We can safely say that Baldur's Gate 3 is off to a great start, and to give the game even more credit, we wanted to share that the party-based RPG is currently the highest-rated PC game ever on Metacritic and Opencritic - quite the feat. As can be seen in the screenshots from both sites below, the game is rated higher or equally as titles, such as Half-Life 2, Red Dead Redemption 2, Grand Theft Auto V, The Orange Box, Elden Ring, and various other gems.

Not only that but looking at this year's releases, Baldur's Gate 3 is the highest-rated game of the year (on Metacritic) across all platforms, thereby beating Nintendo's hit title The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Metroid Prime Remastered, and the next-gen release of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Meanwhile, Opencritic even has the game listed as the highest-rated game in history across all platforms, beating  Breath of the Wild, Tears of the Kingdom, RDR2, Elden Ring, and being on par with Super Mario Odyssey.
