What I do want is a narrative that gives me a reason to care about what I'm doing next. BG3 mistakes "mysterious" for "unclear." There's a brain worm in my head that's supposed to be turning me into a monster - that's a genuinely...
More Than a Game, an Adventure I Will Remember Some games entertain you. Some games impress you. A very small number of games stay with you long after the credits roll.

The lowest price on record is $41.99, set in July 2026. It has been discounted 21 times in the 6 years tracked here, typically at 20 percent off, with about 7 weeks between sales. Today's $41.99 at 30 percent off matches that floor. It does not get cheaper than this.
On value it sits in the top 1 percent of its genre. It outscores the games it most resembles, including Divinity: Original Sin - Enhanced Edition ($3.99, scores 79) and Divine Divinity ($0.89, scores 75).
Steam's global achievement data says about 3 percent of players ever finish it. On a 73.1-hour game, that is a lot of paid-for hours most people never see. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (cosmetic); the score docks it lightly for that.
