AU Deals: A Freebie Dead Island 2, The Hottest Prices for Clair Obscur, Personas, Sonics, and More!

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”.

Purchase Cheap for PC

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.
