I've seen enough sales to know when the stars align, and right now the savings galaxy is sparkling mighty nice. Between long-awaited sequels, slick remasters and a few certified time vampires, this is one of those weeks where our backlogs are going to expand. Here's what caught my attention across the big four platforms, plus some LEGO fun to keep your shelf from looking too tidy.

This Day in Gaming

In retro news, I'm waxing up a cake to mark 23 years since Kelly Slater's Pro Surfer first dropped in. For Illawarra South Coast groms like me and my mates, this game was basically a pipeline to paradise. We frothingly repped the Aussie spots like Bells and Kirra, legends like Curren and Carroll, and that slick combo system that felt like Tony Hawk had swapped his deck for a board.

Still, not everyone was amped on the game’s floaty physics and mid-air kickflips that’d make even Poseidon raise a brow. Some of us paddled past this to Transworld Surf or Sunny Garcia’s for a bit more realism.

Nice Savings for Nintendo Switch

On Switch, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is shaping up to be everything we wanted from a new Samus mission. Retro Studios reportedly rebuilt it from scratch after the first dev attempt fell short, and that bold restart is looking great so far. Meanwhile, It Takes Two remains one of the best co-op experiences ever designed. Every level is a fresh mechanic and a new emotional gut punch, all from the mind of Josef Fares.

Exciting Bargains for Xbox

Over on Xbox Series X, Hogwarts Legacy is a must for Potterheads, and I’ll admit the nostalgia hit hard when I first flew over the castle at sunset. The game nails the fantasy of being a witch or wizard in an open world. Assassin's Creed Mirage, on the other hand, pulls back the bloated sprawl and reminds us why sneaking through a bazaar with a hidden blade will always rule.

Pure Scores for PlayStation

PS5-wise, Stellar Blade is a rare spectacle that feels both stylish and grounded. Developer Shift Up poured their heart into every animation, and it shows. Rise of the Ronin, from Team Ninja, scratches that samurai itch better than most, too. I’ve been slicing through late Edo-era Japan, and it’s a heady mix of history lesson and hackathon.

On PC, Red Dead Redemption 2 still stands unmatched for realism. Arthur Morgan's compelling story and the level of immersion Rockstar achieved are staggering. Disco Elysium, however, remains the gold standard for narrative role-playing. Its world feels alive, messy and painfully human, and it rewards players who think before they click.
