Only buying two or three games a year? Read this first

How to choose games that will not disappoint when you cannot buy many.

Red Dead Redemption 2 key art

1Start with what you enjoy

Think about the last game you finished and why. If you loved the world, look at open worlds; if you loved the story, look at action stories and RPGs.

2Check the hours

A 100-hour RPG is great value, but only if you have the time. Short games can be the better buy for busy weeks.

3Use the Steam refund window

Steam generally offers refunds within 14 days of purchase if you played less than two hours. Check Steam's current refund policy before you buy.

4Wait for sales

Most games here are discounted several times a year. If a game is not urgent, add it to your wishlist.
