In a stunning turn of events that has left the gaming community gobsmacked, Baldur's Gate 3 managed to snatch up six trophies, including the coveted Game of the Year title, at The Game Awards 2023. In a world where Alan Wake 2 and its three victories exist, one might wonder what mysterious forces propelled the Dungeons & Dragons RPG, which hadn't seen a proper sequel in over two decades, into the limelight.

Larian Studios, based in the gaming hotbed of Ghent, Belgium, deserves applause for transforming the classic Dungeons & Dragons experience into a virtual escapade.

Guided by a Dungeon Master-like voice, visible dice rolls, and a cast of characters with performances supposedly better than your average night of tabletop gaming with friends, Baldur's Gate 3 allegedly shines on PC and now, as of recently, on Xbox.
