73 discounts in the 14 years on record, a median of 65 percent off across all of them, roughly 8 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 4 weeks ago.

Against its own genre its score lands in the top 1 percent. It is pricier than 62 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 98 percent. It outscores the games it most resembles, including STAR WARS™ Knights of the Old Republic™ ($9.99, scores 84) and Dragon Age: Origins - Ultimate Edition ($29.99, scores 66).

$35.79 is where it would stop being a BANGER.

What players say

I've played through KOTOR 2 at least ten times, and I still love coming back to it. Both KOTOR games were a huge part of my childhood, and returning to them always feels like coming home. This latest run felt like my definitive playthrough. I took my time, carefully read every conversation and piece of text, and played with the full community mod build. I wanted to take everything in, and it ended up being my most...

KOTOR II is unfinished, underpolished, overbearing, and at several points a bad Star Wars game. And I like it very much.

Great storytelling, even if it does show signs of being rushed out to meet a deadline. Aint that always the way? This, along with KotOR, helped redefine RPGs back in the day, with dialogue choices impacting an alignment system. And in this game, your alignment affects your companions, too. 10/10 Would reactivate a warehouse full of old war droids again.
