Criticism hasn't stopped Lords of the Fallen from reaching number two on the Steam sales chart, and thanks to the free weekend, Battlefield 2042 is enjoying unprecedented popularity

We offer you a traditional review of the most profitable items in Steam for the past week.

Here's What We Know

The leader of the week was the pre-order of the new part of the shooter Call of Duty, not least thanks to the open beta testing and powerful advertising campaign.

Second place went to Polish action-RPG Lords of the Fallen, which was generally liked by the public, but was criticised for poor optimisation. It is worth noting that the user ratings of Lords of the Fallen increase after each patch, which allows us to hope for a prompt correction of all the flaws committed by the developer.

EA SPORTS FC 24 football simulator took the third place in the Steam chart.

Thanks to the free weekend and a significant discount, gamers paid mass attention to the shooter Battlefield 2042, which raised it to the fifth line of the chart.

Baldur's Gate 3, Cyberpunk 2077 and Elden Ring have been steadily popular, while a Halloween event boosted the popularity of Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege online shooter.
