Currently, I’m waiting for a sale that puts the base game and phantom liberty at around £25.
Am I being a bit silly?
Is it worth picking up the next time GOG do a sale for around £38?
Edit: I’d just like to say thank you to everyone who has responded with useful information, and opinions on the game. I think I may treat myself next time the base game is £25 (and I have a weekend to play!)
I agree.
Although I had way more fun in the game before the patch that changed the skill trees.
To OP: The rough launch of the game made for some pretty steep sales. Idk if they’ll go that low again for awhile.
Yea the skill tree changes are/were fairly divisive. I’m more on-board with the changes than against, but I do think the old version offered more freedom in builds, but… eh. It’s entirely serviceable as is.

The “other skill tree” seemed to be largely useless for my “stealth archer” (sneaky silent pistol & hacker) character, the perks there seemed to be geared towards more action oriented approach.
Anyway, at current my only real gripe with the game is the occasionally hella persistent cop chases. The cop patrols seem to spawn absolutely everywhere, and every time I lose them it feels more like gaming the system via technicalities than actually doing it the intended way. Could be a case of “gid gud”, tho. Last character (since patch and dlc) I played on normal, iirc.
Also, the basegame has gone to -50% fairly regularly, basically every time gog/steam hosts any bigger sales happening. The dlc (according to steamdb) has been -15% twice, but it’s still fairly recent. Could be cheaper when summer sales arrive.
I was looking at how it went with No Man’s Sky, and I think you might be right!
