'Baldur’s Gate 3'

It’s like the Distracted Boyfriend meme. Games like Marvel’s Spider-Man, Alan Wake II, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, and Tears of the Kingdom are all the angry girlfriend who's seen you checking out Baldur’s Gate 3 for the zillionth time. No matter how many flashy AAA titles are placed in front of you, your mind wanders back to all those times you tried to seduce the cleric Shadowheart (according to the studio, more than half of 1.3 million players have done that already) or transformed into a sentient wheel of cheese (yep, 1.24 million players did that) in the Dungeons & Dragons-based role-playing game.
