    If it looks like a shitty game, sounds like a shitty game, and acts like a shitty game, I’ve got some news for you.

    A $70 price tag is usually the cherry on top, too.

      Anything over $45 is nearly always a giant red flag. It needs 95% on steam for me to consider it. I have found $35 to be a good ballpark that hits games with focused/enjoyable complexity, without the nonsense that comes at higher prices/AAA. You don’t even need to consider value for money: they’re simply better than more expensive games (most of the time).

        I picked up Helldivers II recently for £35 and it manages to run, look and play better than any other >£60 game I’ve played recently.

        I need the game to age like wine before I even try it, so I’ll probably try baldurs gate 3 in 5-10 years.
