Thank your own personal deity–possibly Prince Ahzrak–it’s Friday! The sales shelves are stacked, the discounts are deep, and there’s no better time to finally tick off a wishlist title you’ve been eyeing since launch. Whether you’re a couch co-op diehard, a story-driven solo adventurer, or just here for sweet, sweet freebies, this end of week haul is stuffed with titles worth our hard-earned dollarydoos.
This Day in Gaming 
In retro news, I’m celebrating the 12th birthday of Deadly Premonition, a so-bad-it’s-great cult hit. Basically, this was an incredibly low-budget Japanese Twin Peaks with ropey visuals, controls, script, voice acting—you name it, they SMSed it in. Considering all of this, you should definitely treat yourself to a drive (hopefully at a heavily discounted rate) to the strange city of Greenvale. If only to watch your FBI protagonist multitask driving along a stormy road, smoking, perusing a case file on a laptop riding shotgun, and having a phone debate about the BDSM implications of Tom & Jerry cartoons. Gloriously, it all goes down[Silent]hill from there.

Nice Savings for Nintendo Switch
Nintendo Switch kicks off strong with Sonic Origins Plus (A$27), a retro compilation that sneaks in Amy Rose as a playable character across all four classic titles, something even the Mega Drive couldn’t dream of. Also worth a look is Borderlands 3 Ultimate Edition (A$34), which isn’t just guns and chaos (it also hides a rare tribute to late cosplayer Michael Johnstone in one of its side quests).

Exciting Bargains for Xbox
Over on Xbox Series X, Halo: The Master Chief Collection (A$14) is an absolute steal, and in case you missed it, its remastered cutscenes were created by Blur Studio (the same team that worked on Love, Death & Robots). Meanwhile, Destroy All Humans! 2 – Reprobed (A$19) includes a surprising nod to The X-Files, with an achievement titled “The Truth Is In Here”.

Pure Scores for PlayStation
For PlayStation 5 players, Spelunky 2 (A$11) is a masterclass in roguelike punishment. And then there’s always Persona 5 Royal (A$55) one the best JRPGs ever made. Truly, it should be on every gamer’s bucket list.

Finally, on PC, Cyberpunk 2077 (A$35) continues its redemption arc with its recent updates hiding a working arcade minigame inspired by Gwent. But let’s be honest: Dead Island 2 for absolutely zilch is the real miracle here. I can recommend it for the co-op shenanigans alone.
