Games like Baldur's Gate 3 to play next

Baldur's Gate 3 raised expectations for what an RPG can be: deep systems, meaningful choices, unforgettable companions and a world that reacts to your every decision. These four carry that torch in their own distinct ways, and each offers dozens of hours of storytelling and character-building to disappear into.

• Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader is the closest fit, a sprawling party-based CRPG with tactical turn-based combat, branching moral choices and a companion-rich story set in the grim darkness of the far future. If you loved building a party and living with your decisions, start here.
• Cyberpunk 2077 swaps dice for chrome yet delivers the same weighty roleplaying, memorable companions and consequential decisions, all set across a dense, reactive Night City that responds to how you play.
• The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a masterclass in choice-driven storytelling, with quests whose outcomes ripple outward for hours and a world that feels genuinely lived-in and lived-through.
• ELDEN RING takes a very different tack, but its vast open world, deep and flexible character builds and rewarding sense of hard-won discovery will grip anyone who relished BG3's freedom to experiment, respec and forge their own path against long odds.
