$60???

This game is over 4 years old. IS it even worth buying at this price point?

It's regularly discounted 50% off, so just wait a bit and you can get it for $30. I daresay it's worth at least that much, though I wouldn't personally buy it without the discount.

YES without any hesitation and get Phantom Liberty too! This game is a masterpiece in every respect. like I would pay 500$ to be able to go back and experience it for the first time again. Its that good.

[StuntManRod]

That's super helpful. I'm definitely more likely to buy the DLC if the base game is discounted.

Doesn't matter how old the game is, if it's still selling well, then the price isn't likely to go down. However, it does get a pretty good discount regularly on Steam sales.

I'd say the game is worth it with the caveat you get Phantom Liberty, the base game on it's own is a solid like 7/10 I'd put it on the same quality as Bethesda/Ubisoft open world games (which will sound like an insult but it's not) , but with Phantom Liberty it's easily a 9/10, as the DLC adds a ridiculous amount of content, almost half the content of the base game itself.
So your playthrough will go from like 55-65 hours (depending on questing done) to like 80-90 hours, it also adds alot of cool new weapons/armors/clothing etc.

This game is a classic. People will still be playing it in 10-20 years, The cost is practically irrelevant...you can play and replay this game for hundreds of hours. The cost per hour of enjoyment is pennies.

No there isn’t.

You shouldn’t purchase multi-year old games at full AAA price based off of principle alone unless money is worth as much as sand in the Sahara for you.

The game goes on sale so frequently that there is no reason to purchase it at full price. You’ve evidently waited over 4 years; what’s a few weeks to a month more?

[BorderlandsBro28]

Bought it during the winter sale, didn't know much before I played. It's a great game no hesitation in buying it. But to save money (and look research a little to see if you like it first) wait for a 50% sale.

Back when it first came out, no not worth it, but now, yeah the game is that important and worth it just for it really pushing graphics standards forward - you get a premium product. Make sure you have the hardware to enjoy full features of RTX, the lighting and rendering its just stunning. Even 100+ hours in I still will pause at just how crazy cool the city can look.

Elden Ring is entry into Next Gen as a whole. This game is a halo product for "current gen+". They should have done better, somehow.

Start Phantom Liberty before the final mission, and mix up side quests and gigs between Phantom and base game, this will help the base side missions not feel as sterile vs phantom liberty's side missions.

The game is huge and of very high quality, even to this day there's not really any game that looks as good as it.
The best praise I could give this game is that it's film quality presentation in the form of a really good game, with amazing characters.

It is well worth it, but it goes on sale from time to time you can wait or buy now. It is one of the greatest games I have ever played, and I have been doing this since floppy disks were actually floppy. I am currently on my fourth play through.

[Sgt. Flaw]

You can grab the base game for 26 bucks if youre patient....Spring sales not that far away

[Chrisme]

Yes, the game is absolutely worth buying. I got 211 hours out of it until I reached the end and it was a great, refined experience all around. You can buy 4 indie games instead, play them for 10 hours and regret buying most of them eventually. Here you get a quality product with great story-telling.

Albeit I don't find the replayability to be that high. Once finished I found myself unable to enjoy a second playthrough because I know how everything plays out already. There is also no NG+ or anything to make it more appealing.
