There's a moment every week where I think, "Right, that's enough games," and then the deals roll in and I immediately fold quicker than a 3DS with a broken hinge. Today’s haul had me hovering over “Buy Now” far too often. We’ve got deep discounts across every major platform, including a few titles that haven’t been this cheap since launch week. Whether you’re in the mood to sob through a bleak detective RPG, carve through horrors with a chainsword, or just punt a co-op partner off a ledge for fun, this list’s stacked.
In retro news, I'm remembering the 16th birthday of Fat Princess, a PS3 multi-fest I spent many a hard day's knight dying in. Built for 32-player mayhem, the core gameplay revolves around kidnapping the titular monarchs in a never-ending war between the red and blue kingdoms. How was that battle waged? Hat's where it got interesting, because the capabilities of every player changed with headwear powerups (priest, warrior, mage, worker, or ranger). According to my memories, a rock solid CTF with the right crew and gory as you please.

On Switch, Disco Elysium Final Cut is a must-own for story nerds. I once spent twenty minutes debating a ceiling fan in that game and it was incredible. Meanwhile, Lunar Remastered Collection brings back a beloved classic that had one of the most overachieving localisations of the PS1 era, complete with goofy humour and heartfelt moments.

Lords of the Fallen Deluxe is punching well above its price tag. It’s got slick visuals, creative world layering, and it’s been patched up beautifully since launch. On the other end of the spectrum, Warhammer 40K: Darktide nails the grimdark co-op shooter formula, and it's basically the reason I now yell "FOR THE EMPEROR" at the slightest provocation.
Xbox One
Retro revivals and demon-slaying dominate the One offerings. Doom Eternal still holds up as one of the most kinetic shooters ever made. And Doom Anthology gives you basically everything from the franchise’s demon-splattered timeline in one go, minus Doom Guy’s protein intake schedule.

Hitman: World of Assassination might be the greatest trilogy bundle in modern stealth. Every level is an intricately woven Rube Goldberg machine of chaos and neck snaps. And Tales of Arise still delivers some of the best anime-style action RPG combat going, with visuals that hold up even in the flashiest fights.
PS4
For PS4 stalwarts, Yakuza Remastered Collection is a crash course in street-level melodrama, karaoke battles, and delightfully petty brawling. Also, Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition remains the closest thing to a Hong Kong cinema GTA and is criminally underplayed.

Dead by Daylight keeps pulling me back in. The steady stream of killer expansions, plus the recent Alan Wake chapter, means the meta never stands still. Meanwhile, It Takes Two is still the gold standard for couch co-op. If you’ve got a mate handy, it’s an emotional rollercoaster worth every minute.

LEGO’s gone a bit wild this week. You’ve got Mario platforming in brick form, Hedwig flapping into Potter lore, and an Enderman Tower that looks like a creeper’s dream home. These are dangerously giftable.
