I have spent more hours than I care to admit trawling storefronts, comparing editions, and convincing myself I absolutely needed one more game for the backlog. Today’s crop feels unusually strong, mixing genuinely new releases with deep cuts that still punch well above their price. There is a little something here for almost every type of player, from pure nostalgia to shiny modern blockbusters.

This Day in Gaming 🎂
In retro news, I've cooked a bin chicken feast for the 33rd birthday of Streets of Rage 2, a seminal beat 'em up and massive personal favourite that I played the cartridge pins off. Basically, you and a mate needed to go ever rightward on an ultra-violent rescue mission as one of two loose cannon cops, a spandex-clad wrestler, or the most '90s kid ever (think: backwards hat, rollerblades). Not only were this sequel's fisticuffs more technical than its rival to beat, Final Fight, Streets of Rage 2 also boasted one of the most jam-pumping EDM soundtracks of its era.

Nice Savings for Nintendo Switch

  • This is the hidden content, please
    (-19%) A$89 Samus is back, the vibes are immaculate, and Retro still knows how to make silence feel threatening. Fun-wise, it's an absolute morph-ball.
  • This is the hidden content, please
    (-27%) A$39.90 Turn based comfort food with a deceptively evil difficulty spike. The job system still rules, and yes, you will grind because you want to.
  • This is the hidden content, please
    (-42%) A$64 Incremental changes, same addiction. You will complain about it loudly, then somehow play five matches in a row anyway.
  • This is the hidden content, please
    (-80%) A$19.90 Every trilogy, every joke, every brick smashed. Ridiculous value and still one of the best couch co-op peace treaties ever made.
  • This is the hidden content, please
    (-91%) A$8 Absurdly cheap chaos. Not the sharpest LEGO game, but at this price it barely matters.

Exciting Bargains for Xbox

  • This is the hidden content, please
    (-55%) A$49 Much easier to recommend once it drops below full price. The football feels better, the menus feel worse, and thus the cycle continues.
  • This is the hidden content, please
    (-44%) A$30.70 A game that punishes hesitation and rewards confidence. When it clicks, you feel like a cyber ninja god. When it doesn’t, you're roadkill.
  • This is the hidden content, please
    (-51%) A$59 Still outrageously good on the court and still a menace to your spare time. MyCareer will eat your weekend without remorse.
  • This is the hidden content, please
    (-51%) A$59 Louder, dumber, and surprisingly smarter where it counts. The guns are nonsense, the jokes mostly land, and the loop is dangerously sticky.
Xbox One

  • This is the hidden content, please
    (-85%) A$4.40 Oldie that's still the undisputed champ. Career mode hits harder than half the genre has managed since.
  • This is the hidden content, please
    (-82%) A$8.90 Mud, chaos, and unmatched atmosphere. Battlefield has been chasing this high ever since.
  • This is the hidden content, please
    (-73%) A$30 Slick, loud, and built for quick dopamine hits. The campaign is uneven, but the gunfeel still rules.

Pure Scores for PlayStation

  • This is the hidden content, please
    (-49%) A$59 Deep, awkward, and gloriously uncompromising. You will feel bad at it before you feel brilliant, which is kind of the point.
  • This is the hidden content, please
    (-33%) A$56.90 A Souls-like that actually gets why Souls works. Creepy, precise, and far better than it has any right to be.
  • This is the hidden content, please
    (-73%) A$24 A galaxy of gags and collectibles. You will start for the kids and stay for the completionist brain rot.
  • This is the hidden content, please
    (-80%) A$10.90 The comeback story nobody expected. Still weird, still janky, but finally fun with the right crew.
  • This is the hidden content, please
    (-71%) A$29 Way funnier than it needed to be. Great banter, strong story, and a soundtrack that does heavy lifting.
PS4

  • This is the hidden content, please
    (-31%) A$48.50 Bright, brutal, and completely unapologetic. Those bridge levels still hit like groin kicks.
  • This is the hidden content, please
    (-42%) A$55 When it works, it really works. When it doesn’t, it reminds you why Sonic games are a gamble.

Purchase Cheap for PC

  • This is the hidden content, please
    (-75%) A$22.40 A familiar sandbox carried by a good (not great) villain. You've played this formula before, but will probably enjoy it again anyway.
  • This is the hidden content, please
    (-75%) A$7.30 Unhinged vibes, incredible music, and detective work that trusts you to be smart. A cult classic for a reason.
