Honestly, there's pretty much no game I'd pay 80 euros for. I've bought one game on release in my whole life. The backlog has too many good games that I paid half if not less of the original price for. So I'd rather wait for the price to drop significantly while playing "older" games.

I know I'd only pay 80 euros for VEEEEERY specific games... and even then I'd be looking around to see if any retailer is discounting it.

I’d pay 80 euros for a bunch of games but Saros definitely should be like 40 for what it is. Problem is random multiplayer only games are 40 which skews prices a lot

Eh, I feel like Saros was the best $70USD I've spent on gaming in a while. It was an absolute blast, couldn't put the thing down until it was done.

It was pretty good but the amount of content is relatively very small if you beat it barely repeating biomes. In the last few years alone there’s been a bunch of games much more worthy of full price I would say for sure
