10 best games like Baldur’s Gate 3
– Polygon has published a list recommending ten video games to play after finishing Baldur's Gate 3, aimed at fans wanting a similar experience of reactive storytelling, meaningful choices, strong companion characters and flexible problem-solving including combat options.
– The list deliberately excludes Disco Elysium (no combat option), earlier Larian Studios titles and the original Baldur's Gate 1 and 2, focusing instead on isometric or narrative-driven RPGs with high production values, substantial playtime and strongly positive reviews.
– Wasteland 3 – a darkly comic, squad-based sci-fi RPG with memorable companions, though lacking a romance system
– Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous – offers extensive character-building options across 25+ classes, but uses a more complex D&D-based ruleset
– Wildermyth – a cosier, procedurally generated RPG about ordinary farmers becoming legendary heroes, with a distinctive papercraft art style
– Tyranny – a dark fantasy RPG from Obsidian that emphasises consequences over combat
