Both games are currently on sale on Steam for about the same price ($59.99 CAD vs $58.49 CAD). I’ve never played either. I know they’re both supposed to be excellent games. My question is, for those who have played both, which do you prefer?
I don’t think I’ve got a ton of experience with similar games, though I don’t know for sure. I mostly play Souls games and Elder Scrolls games (Elden Ring and Skyrim are my two favourite games of all time). I don’t think there’s much carryover there but I could be wrong.
Hopefully this post could also help someone else who’s curious about the two games.
do you have access to a console? can you rent games from the library? put in a hold for clair obscur at the library now, buy baldurs gate now. buy clair obscur later. I have been listening to the music from clair obscur even when not playing it’s so good. bg3 is good, but i’ve gotten distracted from it more than a few times. it has more replay value, but clair obscur is going up there in my top 5 of all time. bg3 is top 10, but not top 5.
