Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 did not win anything at this year's The Game Awards show, but it was certainly a game that won our hearts. It did pick up some awards at other shows, which serves to highlight its importance, even if it was snubbed and (to some degree, unrightfully) eclipsed by Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.

Being a fantastic game, one that takes the setting and the player seriously, it'd be a shame to miss out on it. And, with this half-price deal, now might be the best time to hop on, provided you'd already completed the first game, itself on ***** for just $5.99.

Warhammer 40K is more topical than ever in the world of video games, what with the impending releases of Total War: 40K, Mechanicus 2, and Dawn of War 4, among other stuff. And, thankfully, there's also this amazing third-person shooter title that builds on the foundations of its predecessor, cranks everything up to 11, and makes the blood and gore more visceral than ever.

It's also

, at only $23.99, one of the best prices it's ever been at. So, if you're wont to dive deeper into the grim darkness of the far future, this is an ideal starting point.

Cyberpunk 2077 — $20.99

Cyberpunk 2077 is arguably the best game in the eponymous genre, providing a unique retrofuturistic 80s-style take on a cornerstone of science fiction while modernizing it and bringing it up to snuff with today's considerations of technology. It's an incredible achievement for storytelling and art as a whole, but it has rarely gone under $30 since the launch of Edgerunners and the subsequent revitalization of the once-stigmatized game.

, reaching quite low for its standards, and allowing players to jump into its virtual world. Unfortunately, the DLC, Phantom Liberty, is also $20.99, on par with the base game itself, so I'd wait before picking that up eventually, but wouldn't miss out on it due to the implications it has for the overall experience.

Red Dead Redemption 2: Ultimate Edition — $19.99

Rockstar pulled a fast one with this listing, choosing to discount the Ultimate Edition of the game instead of the base version, allowing them to put a ******* percentage on the store listing because this one costs a hundred bucks instead of the usual 60. Even so, you get the base game and more with this purchase, itself quite low for AAA standards.

Red Dead Redemption 2 also rarely goes beneath $19.99, as I've seen it reach $14.99 at most, and that's for the base edition of the game, so you might as well pick this one up while you're at it.

Resident Evil 4 Remake — $15.99

The entirety of the Resident Evil franchise is currently discounted as part of the Winter *****, but I've decided to highlight this one in particular. It's one of the best games in the entire series, and with the remake, it became one of the best survival horror titles ever created. It ditches all the action scenes and arcade nonsense, instead grounding itself in gritty realism, dread, and terror, which serves to highlight the original game's strongest points.

Capcom really has done a tremendous job reinvigorating these old games, choosing their best parts while cutting out all the unnecessary bits, and at this price point, it's a borderline steal.

Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy — $8.99

Marvel games have generally been a bit of a hit or miss in the past few years, but we did get quite a few good ones as well. Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy is one such title, flying under most people's radars despite its overall quality and fun factor, which couldn't be said of that failed Avengers game.

It's also less than $10, or just about as much as a McDonald's burger, and this one will keep you entertained much more than a trip to your local MCD.

Tomb Raider Definitive Survivor Trilogy — $7.19

This is arguably the best deal in this article, given that it's not one but three fully-fledged games, each with its own “definitive” edition. It gives you the entire reboot trilogy, following Lara Croft's journey from Japan to Russia to the deep, treacherous jungles. It's emotional, harsh, witty, and an incredibly fun adventure, and probably my favorite iteration of Lara ever made.

I'm a bit disheartened that the new, “unified” Lara did away with the reboot trilogy's design, but I think we'll probably get mods fixing that up really quickly post-release.

Hitman: World of Assassination — $2.99

The ultimate assassin meets the ultimate discount, i.e., a 90 percent cut off the original price. For just $2.99, you'll be given the chance to take on the world's worst people, killing them off in the most creative, thoughtful ways imaginable.

Of course, a lot of this game comes as separate purchases, but you should get your money's worth even from the initial experiences, because what else in the world could provide you with hours of fun for just three bucks?

Frostpunk — $2.99

Post-apocalyptic stories are great and all, but ones set in a world covered by ice and snow just have a stronger impact. It's sort of the inverse of the desert post-apocalypse we've come to know with Fallout, Kenshi, Mad Max, and other worlds, and boy does Frostpunk iterate on it well.

It's a city builder at heart, but one that places you in the role of an overseer rather than an omniscient, far-removed creator. You are involved with your city, must enact laws, keep the people at bay, and, most importantly, keep them content, because if you step out of line and sow enough discontent, you'll be banished, or worse.

For Honor — $1.49

For some odd reason, this game continues to live and thrive despite Ubisoft's abject failures on all fronts, both regarding it and its other games. I return to it from time to time, enjoying the unique gameplay and competitive side, the likes of which you will rarely find elsewhere. And that might be what's keeping it together all these years post-launch, so if you never hopped in over nearly a decade, now's the perfect time to do so at such a low price of admission.
