Final Fantasy VII Rebirth

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth consumes over 100 hours with a story-rich open world and addictive card game.

  • Updated 601h ago

Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree

Best-in-class single-player DLC if you finished base Elden Ring — Land of Shadow rivals a full game, and patch 1.14 tamed Consort Radahn's combos.

  • Updated 601h ago

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl

Finally fixed since launch — patches 1.5 through 1.8 restored A-Life and tamed the worst stutters that wrecked the November 2024 reception.

  • Updated 601h ago

Palworld

Holds up in solo or co-op despite the 99% playerbase crash from 2M peak to 25k — Pokémon-with-guns hook earns its $30.

  • Updated 601h ago

ARC Raiders

Embark's prettiest and friendliest extraction shooter — ARC Raiders trades Tarkov's hardcore detail for cleaner combat and a real sci-fi world to fight over.

  • Updated 631h ago

Kingdom Come: Deliverance II

If KCD1 grabbed you with its bullheaded commitment to 15th-century realism, KCD2 is more of that — bigger map, sharper combat, same refusal to hold your hand.

  • Updated 631h ago

Crimson Desert

Crimson Desert's density of environmental puzzles earns its shelf space despite the save corruption risk from updates.
