Thank your own personal deity—possibly The Old Gods of Nightreign—it’s Friday again! With prices dropping harder than a boss fight on easy mode, now’s the time to stock up for the weekend. Whether you’re playing solo, with mates, or just hunting for your next obsession, the below haul covers everything from co-op chaos and sportsball simming to cult classics and free gems.
This Day in Gaming 
In retro news, I’m celebrating the 13th birthday of Lollipop Chainsaw, a Suda51 cult-hit. Admittedly, it didn’t garner much in the way of high scores, but I still recall it being the best game about a zombie-slaying cheerleader armed with a portable power tool and the disembodied head of her boyfriend… I’ve ever played. Had a whole buncha rock solid references to horror flicks and IRL musicians, too.

Nice Savings for Nintendo Switch
On Nintendo Switch, It Takes Two delivers emotional whiplash wrapped in joyful platforming. It was inspired by director Josef Fares’ love–hate experiences with real relationships. Meanwhile, Hogwarts Legacy is worth revisiting not just for its wizarding wonder but because the devs spent months crafting a bespoke broom physics system that most players never even notice.

Exciting Bargains for Xbox
Over on Xbox, Tekken 8 comes swinging in with the return of Jun Kazama, a fan-favourite who hadn’t been playable since the 1990s. And The Witcher 3 Complete Edition isn’t just a hefty RPG, it’s one that CD Projekt Red once accidentally spoiled via a dev note left in the code. Us diehards found it within days.
