The newest addition is the ‘Mad Ellie and the Vault of the Damned’ DLC, which includes a fresh story, a new playable character, and raises the maximum level from 50 to 60.

Despite being a term used for some time, it’s still hard to pin down exactly what an ‘AA’ game is. Generally, these are games with moderate budgets – typically between $10 and $20 million – developed by small, core teams with help from larger outsourced groups. They offer high-quality experiences that feel premium, but aren’t as expansive as major ‘AAA’ titles. Because their budgets are smaller, AA games often allow developers to be more creative and take risks, sometimes leading to surprisingly successful and critically acclaimed results. In fact, many AA games have become true classics and significantly impacted the gaming industry. Here’s a ranked list of some of the best and most influential double-A games ever created.

As a huge fan, I’ve seen how much of an impact Dungeons & Dragons has had on everything! It started as a niche tabletop game, but now it’s one of the most famous fantasy games ever. And it’s not just games like Baldur’s Gate 3 (which is amazing, set in the Forgotten Realms!) – the way D&D plays, tells stories, and even the kinds of characters you find, have influenced so many different games, both tabletop and beyond. Honestly, for someone like me who really loves the series, it feels like this is the perfect way to really elevate your D&D experience.
I’ve followed the Life is Strange series closely from the beginning. I experienced the emotional journey of Sean and Daniel in Life is Strange 2, Chloe’s story in Before the Storm, and the unique and surprisingly moving narrative of Alex Chen in True Colors. I even became a big fan of the original developers, Dontnod, and recently played their earlier game, Lost Records: Bloom & Rage, last year.
