Play this tonight

Kingdom Come: Deliverance II

Final Fantasy XVI's PC port remains $49.99 — skip the Complete Edition and test the free demo first.

  • Updated 2d ago

Crimson Desert

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.

  • Updated 2d ago

Final Fantasy XVI

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.

  • Updated 11d ago

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

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.

  • Updated 11d ago

Baldur's Gate 3

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.

  • Updated 11d ago

Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties

For fans of Kiryu's saga — Kiwami 3 is the definitive Y3 remake, but newcomers should start with Y0 or Like a Dragon.

  • Updated 96d ago

Persona 3 Reload

Recommended if you skipped Persona 3 the first time — Reload modernizes the 2006 classic, but FES's The Answer epilogue is paid DLC.

  • Updated 98d ago

Dragon’s Dogma 2

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).

  • Updated 98d ago

Black Myth: Wukong

Killer boss combat with Journey-to-the-West mythology — Wukong's lategame fights rival Orphan of Kos, but Chapter 2 onward demands real Sekiro-level patience.

  • Updated 98d ago

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth

Despite a bare-minimum PC port, FF7 Rebirth's 100-hour follow-up to Remake holds its own — Queen's Blood alone could eat 20 hours.
