Something like:
Inclusive turn-based mode changes the franchaise forever. Neckbeard elitist fans seethe all around the world. Future of cRPGs: No spacebar!.
but written in this dumb style vidya game journos are using. I can't do it, it requires too much effort :(. Feel free to use this award-worthy draft for your own entry.

"The game manages to walk a fine line between satisfying fans of old-school dungeon crawls as well as updating its formula and story to modern standards."

"I was a fan of the original Baudelaire's Gate, but you gotta admit, those venerable sprites have ran their lives' due course. Let them rest in peace. Not it is time for something truly magical, a fully 3d rendered Bee Gate - what could you ask for more?"

Baldur's Gate III is the Dark Souls of RPG games.

Fucking hell, I wish

Something like "Offers deep tactical combat" is obvious, but with the terrified addition which will amount to "that can be played at your own pace" ; something to make sure it's accessible. "It may look intimidating at first, but worry not, the game will pull you in with its fun dynamics and incredible animations"

DnD with none of the tedium.
DnD with none other than the tedium.

3 does not stand for 3rd in a series. It sets itself apart in mechanics, graphics and writing in a way that classics of old were never able to achieve. As such '3' should be read as edgy 'E', Baldurs Gate Empowered, Enhanced, Eclectic...

Baldurs Gate 3.... Turn based combat with a story slightly worse than Siege of Dragonspear.
