Ghost Recon Wildlands is the standout here for bargain hunters, with the base game drawing praise as worth the $2 price and the main campaign still holding up well. The extra content is harder to justify, since the older DLC and definitive upgrade are seen as steep compared with the base game. On PC, Wildlands also has a serious startup issue on some Intel processors with e-cores and p-cores unless the e-cores are disabled or the game is pinned to non-e-cores. The Rogue Prince of Persia, meanwhile, is praised for careful metroidvania design, useful map and item tools, and strong controller or Steam Deck play.
PC players with older Ubisoft library access, because games can still install and launch through Ubisoft Connect without an active membership.
Players who want a cheap open-world shooter to try the base game first, because the base game is enjoyable and the expansions are not worth the extra cost.
Controller players on Steam Deck or a gamepad, because the platforming and difficulty settings are tuned well enough to enjoy the main game comfortably.
The base game is the safer buy if you want to test it first; the extra cost for older DLC is hard to justify, and the expansions are not considered worth the extra. Fallen Ghosts is the standout add-on, while Narco Road is the weaker one.
Yes, if the game is linked to your Ubisoft account it can appear in Ubisoft Connect and be installed there, even for titles originally obtained through PlayStation Plus. Some games can still be played on PC through Ubisoft's launcher without an active membership once they are claimed.
It may not start on some Intel CPUs with E-cores and P-cores unless the E-cores are disabled in BIOS. A workaround is CPU pinning with Process Lasso to keep Steam, the anti-cheat, and the game executable on non-E-cores.
It is a strong metroidvania-style pick with careful quality-of-life design, including map purchases, item marking, and difficulty tweaks. It plays well with a controller or Steam Deck, and it was reportedly a bit cheaper in a previous Steam sale.
Looks like the definitive edition is 20 bucks with the code. I'm on the fence if i should just get the base to see if i like the game or get the upgrade. an extra 18 bucks for an older dlc seems steep but maybe i'm cheap lol. I read Fallen Ghosts was really good not so much for Narco roads

I enjoyed the base game and the expansions weren't worth the extra.
Do not buy wildlands on pc if you have an intel processor with e cores and p cores. It will not start unless you go into the bios and disable the e cores.

Looks like you can also get it working by doing some CPU pinning. There is a reddit thread for using Process Lasso to pin Steam, the anti-cheat and the game .exe to the non-E cores of the CPU. That way you can still use your full processor like normal. You can set it to automatically run all the time or manually which is what I would do personally.
Just played through Lost Crown, I often don't love metroidvanias but they put a lot of care into putting mechanics in help you mark stuff to go back to, buy maps to find hidden stuff, and tweak a lot of the settings to change the difficulty. I didn't go through all the optional but extra hard platforming sections but really enjoyed the main game if you have a controller, steam deck, etc. I think it was slightly cheaper in the last steam sale though, under $9.

It legit might be the best metroidvania after dread and hollow knight for me
Wait, I am a bit confused here. So if someone buys these games on lets say a PS5 and link it to their Ubisoft account, you can play on PC for free?
Yes, except that I did not buy any games...
If you're buying directly through Ubisoft they might sometimes have historical low offers but it might be worth spending a bit more to get it elsewhere since you still will have it on Ubisoft's launcher on PC.
Again, I got the monthly games from the PS+ membership which I got only for online gaming...
Requires to claim individually and also requires membership to keep playing them but no longer have...however on PC I can still play them through the Ubisoft launcher that this post's "deals" requires that Ubiconnect launcher to play.

Wildcards is also on sale at steam for $2.50. I personally would pay the 50 cent difference just to have it in my steam library. Still deciding though. Haha.

Ghost Recon Wildlands can be made to start on Intel CPUs by pinning the anti-cheat and game executable to non-e-cores.
Prince of Persia The Lost Crown offers difficulty settings and item marking that can help players find hidden content.
Buying Ubisoft PC games from other places can still add them to Ubisoft Connect, letting access continue through the Ubisoft launcher.
Ghost Recon Wildlands can be worth the low $2 price for players who enjoy the base game experience.
Ghost Recon Wildlands may not start on Intel CPUs with both e-cores and p-cores unless e-cores are disabled in BIOS.
The definitive edition upgrade can feel overpriced because older DLC costs extra beyond the base game.
Expansions for Ghost Recon Wildlands may not be worth the additional cost compared with sticking to the base game.
Ubisoft Connect access can require linking a Ubisoft account, which can complicate claims for games obtained elsewhere.

I have many games there from Playstation Plus membership that I no longer have but still have the games on Ubisoft's launcher on PC.
