Seven years on, Three Houses still holds up and Fortune's Weave doesn't replace it — worth it if you tolerate monastery downtime wrapped around the tactics.
The quest writing and side characters are why people replay it at 500 hours — it deserves the medieval-RPG crown, if you can live with save limits and slow travel.
The combat rig and region-by-region exploration carry 300 hours; the main story and voice acting fall short — buy it for the world, skip if you need a plot.
Frozen, not fixed — the PC port's last patch was March 2025 and it is still $49.99. Skip the Complete Edition, and play the free demo before you spend anything.
Still the best-value RPG on Steam — Complete is $10 over base for $25 of expansions. Check your OS first: the next patch drops Windows 10 and DirectX 11.
Larian called Patch 8 the final one, then quietly shipped eight more — including the work that eased Act 3's framerate. Still $59.99, still worth every cent.
For fans of Kiryu's saga — Kiwami 3 is the definitive Y3 remake, but newcomers should start with Y0 or Like a Dragon.
Recommended if you skipped Persona 3 the first time — Reload modernizes the 2006 classic, but FES's The Answer epilogue is paid DLC.
If you can forgive the original's quirks, DD2 holds up — patches fixed CPU performance and the microtransaction outrage was overblown (everything's findable in-game).
