Josh Limage of The Koalition writes: People these days more often tend to forget the history of gaming. Whether they deem it important or they are just consumed by the next thing, we sometimes forget the influence of the games that set the foundations for the titles we love today. For example, the RPG as we know it would be nothing if not for the two men who created Dungeons & Dragons back in 1971. Even today, the tabletop game is played across the world with some campaigns lasting years and countless memories being made amongst friends.
Perhaps performance issues with the Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion remaster on Steam Deck stopped it from claiming the top spot right away.
Some of the best PS5 games are exclusives like God of War Ragnarok and Astro Bot, but there are some indie highlights as well.
Larian Studios' fantasy epic was already a landmark title when it launched in 2023, winning over critics and fans alike with its depth, and storytelling. Now they are celebrating a new milestone as their video game Baldur's Gate has reached a new player count peak following Patch 8 release.
An outstanding turn-based RPG and a very strong game of the year contender.
I'm having a blast, this is a real rpg
I’m like 75hrs in and I am not even technically IN Balders Gate yet. This games so good. I haven’t been this absorbed into a game in years.
My game of the year. I’m sure I’ll love Spider-Man 2 and starfield when I get to it. But I can already tell nothings else will do it for me like this game.
Amazing game that everyone who loves rpgs should play. Surprising that the player count is still so high on Steam, currently 100,000 more players than Starfield!
My whole family is playing this on ps5. Five of us in total my wife and 3 adult kids, myself. All of us love it.
