Feeling down because GTA VI won't hit the shelves until next year, with an even longer wait for PC gamers? Don't let it get you down because there are some fantastic games you can dive into right now. Fanatical is currently slashing prices by an average of 20% on two of the top releases from 2025.
22% Off Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 (Steam)
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Originally priced at $59.99, you can now grab Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 for just $46.79, saving you 22%. Redeem this offer directly through your Steam client. This game is a gem, allowing you to explore the rich, sandbox world of 14th-century Bohemia at your leisure, completely independent of the main storyline, which is equally compelling. According to How Long to Beat, achieving 100% completion takes about 125 hours, though I found myself clocking over 150 hours. This is hands down one of my top picks for 2025 and one of the finest open-world RPGs since The Witcher 3.
Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Review by Leana Hafer
"In many ways, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 feels like it’s picked up and run with the reactive first-person RPG torch that Bethesda left behind years ago. It boasts excellent melee combat, far surpassing anything seen in The Elder Scrolls series. The game occasionally struggles with its identity, torn between being a cinematic tale and a dynamic open-world sandbox, which can lead to some immersion-breaking moments. However, it mostly succeeds in balancing these aspects, allowing players to embark on numerous optional adventures en route to a thought-provoking and exhilarating main plot conclusion. I was utterly captivated by its world, and its exceptional story will stay with me for a long time."
18% Off Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (Steam)
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
Fanatical is also offering Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 at a discounted price of $40.49, an 18% reduction from its regular $49.99, redeemable via Steam. This deal represents exceptional value, especially considering the game's quality and the upward trend in game prices. Clair Obscur has emerged as a sleeper hit; Sandfall Interactive's debut major release boasts the highest user rating ever on Metacritic. Released on April 24, I've already invested over 70 hours and am nearing the end of my second playthrough. With plenty of exciting releases still on the horizon in 2025, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is currently my top contender for game of the year.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Review by Michael Higham
"Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 evokes the spirit of many classic and contemporary RPGs I adore, but Sandfall Interactive truly grasps what makes those games special and innovates upon them. The inventive turn-based combat system is a highlight, keeping me thoroughly engaged, while stunning visuals elevate the experience. The narrative can sometimes feel a bit chaotic or overly dramatic, yet it earnestly explores themes of mortality, grief, and fleeting moments of joy. It doesn't shy away from depicting the varied, sometimes destructive ways people cope with loss, all brought to life by an outstanding cast whose performances imbue the story with the necessary heart. The game strikes a perfect balance between artistic flair and old-school RPG design, making it a modern classic that stands tall among its inspirations. I hope Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 will inspire future developers."
Be sure to keep an eye on upcoming releases in May, including the much-anticipated Doom: The Dark Ages.
