Welcome back to another wonderful week of discounts with the guy who lives and breathes gaming. And not just any games, my friend—the best ones actually worth buying / playing / storing in a shameful pile to probably never be touched again. Personally, I'm all about the surprisingly early 30%+ discounts I'm seeing on Dragon Age Veilguard and Star Wars Outlaws. So maybe start saving there.
In retro news, I'm commemorating the 19th anniversary of Resident Evil 4, a port that blew PS2 owner minds like a .223 calibre Semi-Auto Rifle round to the melon. Though I'd already dropped about 60 hours incessantly replaying this via my (better looking and sounding) GameCube version, I recall being instantly re-smitten when I booted this on 'Station. The new big cherry on top? Separate Ways, a roughly 2.5-hour mini adventure that slipped us into the impractical heels of a TMP-packing Ada Wong. Truly, RE4 was in the top 3 games of a console flush with all-time greats. Anybody who skips the Remake is Ganados levels of loco.

Need a cheap Pro showcase title?
Demon’s Souls - $124.95 / $104
Even without a Pro Enhancement, the visuals of this '24 remake of a '09 PS3 classic already knocked my chainmail socks off. That said, there is indeed a vaguely described "PS5 Pro" toggle in the Display Adjustment menu. It seems to be a 4K-like 60fps Fidelity Mode, which, I think, looks noticeably better than the base experience thanks to additional tessellation density and a new contact shadow system that adds finer micro-detail to stonework (which is everywhere). Basically, I'm fixing to replay this all over again now. As a busy reviewer who's always on The Next Thing, I need a bona fide reason to look backwards; PS5 Pro Enhancement feels (and looks) like a worthy one.
