I'm starting to appreciate these older games more and more for what the devs could do with the UI.

I'm struggling hard trying to play BG3. Initially we wanted to play it in split-screen together however I can barely read the UI elements from the couch while my wife can't make out the tiny text at all. Splitting the screen in half, not a chance lol. You can only scale the dialog font, the UI remains a mystery from the couch. The inventory page is so small I have no clue what's what. I keep dying because I can't make out the options in the crowded radial wheels. Our 65" TV is too small, got to move the couch to 4ft (from 12ft) to be able to play this game.

I guess I can try playing it with the PSVR2 headset... Or maybe better fire up the old 1080p projector again and play it on 92" screen from 10ft away. This is piss poor for 2023. The game looks amazing, the environment that is. I want to play it so bad, but can't read any of the instructions. By the time I'm halfway through deciphering a tutorial tip it already disappears again. Maybe I should try get a refund and play it on PC instead, at least I can move my head in to read the tiny text. /Disappointed.

Play it on PC, avoid the PS5 version. Now what can we play in split-screen nowadays :/ There goes our plan for winter game fun.

I have that issue with some games, but that's why I play in my bedroom where I have a movable gaming chair I can move closer to the TV if needed. You can also potentially plug the PS5 into your PC monitor.

BG3 can be played online co-op. Not sure if it has cross play, but if you have it on two systems that's probably the best way to play it with someone.
