In case you missed the memo, Marvel's Avengers is leaving storefronts at the end of September. Square Enix's live service-centred superhero action game will be no more after about three years on the market, leaving PS Store on 30th September 2023 (though you can still play it after this date). However, as spotted by GamesRadar, you can at least check the game out in its final weeks on sale for a seriously reduced price.
Hungry for more D&D RPGs after Baldur's Gate 3? Some absolute classics are dirt cheap in the Steam Strategy Fest
30.08.2023 - 16:37 / gamesradar.com
If Baldur's Gate 3 has drawn you into the wonderful world of computer RPGs inspired by Dungeons & Dragons, you now have an excellent chance to catch up on some of the genre's biggest classics thanks to the Steam Strategy Fest.
While the Steam Strategy Fest is mostly about highlighting more traditional strategy games, a fair few RPGs with a tactical bent are also on sale for the duration of the event, which runs through September 4. If you want something in the vein of classic CRPGs but without the baggage of D&D rulesets, the excellent Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire is $9.99, down 75% from its normal $39.99 price. If managing a big party is a draw for you - solo or in co-op - take a look at Stolen Realm (for $15.99, 20% off), a tactical dungeon crawler where six characters all take simultaneous turns.
If you really want to see what the D&D classics were made of, check out Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition for $5.99, 70% off its normal $19.99 price. Icewind Dale launched in 2000, offering a primarily combat-focused alternative to the more story-driven D&D adventures in the original Baldur's Gate games. If you want to dive deep into second edition D&D rules and kill a whole lot of monsters along the way, this is the game to pick up.
But if you want to see the origins of the Baldur's Gate series itself, you can grab Baldur's Gate 2: Enhanced Edition for $6.99, 65% off its normal $19.99 price. Sadly, the original Baldur's Gate isn't on sale - at least not in standalone form. You can, however, get the Dungeons & Dragons: Enhanced Classics Ultimate Bundle for $57.39, which includes both original Baldur's Gate games, Icewind Dale, and the outstanding Planescape: Torment, which arguably remains the best-written RPG in the history of the genre.
And if you don't care so much about storytelling or old D&D rules, you might want to check out Solasta: Crown of the Magister for $10.49, 65% off its normal $29.99 price. While not technically a licensed D&D game, Solasta simulates the open source version of the 5E ruleset, aiming to be the most accurate recreation of the tabletop rules ever created. A level creator, regular updates and DLC, and online co-op all sweeten the deal even further.
If all that isn't enough for you, check out our guide to the best RPGs out there right now.

Baldur’s Gate 3 Players Can’t Stop Stabbing the Dirt Out of Excitement
Things can get heated in combat in Baldur’s Gate 3, and the AoE and targeting system in the game has resulted in many players missing their mark when excited, as it’s easy to misclick and select the wrong target. This isn’t a problem in most games, but the fact that the battlefield itself is such a potent weapon in Baldur’s Gate 3 means that accidents are bound to happen.

Larian Studios Has Already Started Working On Its Next Game After Baldur's Gate 3
Baldur's Gate 3 has only been out of Early Access for around a month, and has been on PlayStation for just a few days, but it looks like developer Larian Studios is already primed and ready to start work on its next game. That might sounds surprising considering the developer is pumping out patches and hotfixes at an alarming rate, but Larian co-founder Swen Vincke has claimed that he's already moving onto something new and that he's "closing the chapter" of his career that was Baldur's Gate 3.

Neglect Gale for too long in Baldur's Gate 3, and you'll receive gaming's saddest resignation letter
The Gale slander's been strong. Despite a respectable middle-of-the-pack ranking in our super scientific list, he's still come under fire for a number of reasons. He eats all your magic items, he's too thirsty, he can't Eldritch Blast, he's not 7ft tall and a flaming hot demon wife—the list goes on.

What We Played #618 Armored Core VI, Baldur’s Gate 3 & New Zealand Story
As the school holidays wind to a close, and those heady weeks of FIFA games and lengthy RPG sessions fade into memory, my household has had one last gaming hurrah. I’ve been making my way through all of the things I saw at Gamescom, and carried on with some of them when I got home. Wayfinder has become the daily MMO hit, and I’ve been playing with my son in his first true stint of online gaming. Alongside that I’m still playing Baldur’s Gate 3, and I’m probably going to finish up just as the PS5 version appears. It’s safe to say it’s very, very good, and if you haven’t been able to play yet, you should be excited.
