It’s a corker of a week for gaming discounts (and very imminent console launches). Basically, your backlog is about to get even heavier. From experimental indies to sprawling open worlds, the savings this week are spread across all platforms like butter on warm banana bread. And with some of these titles dipping to historic lows, it’s not a bad time to fill in the gaps in your shelf (digital or otherwise).
This Day in Gaming 
In retro news, I’m celebrating the 16th birthday of Infamous, a PS3 exclusive that I refuse to inexplicably capitalise as inFamous or inFAMOUS (no wait, just did…God damn it). My overriding memory of this super sandboxer from Sucker Punch was that it was edgier and more mature than its Sly Cooper stablemate. Also, it went more or less head-to-head against Radical Entertainment’s Prototype.
Despite not letting me flying kick gunships like Alex Mercer, I loved Infamous over its more mean-spirited (and morale-system-less) competitor. There was a real joy of movement to zipping about Empire City as Cole, the newly minted Electro super. SP also wove a compelling tale with a decent twist that drew from two absolute money DC Comics, DMZ and Batman: No Man’s Land. It’s a sin this joy-sparking classic hasn’t been remastered properly for modern audiences.

Nice Savings for Nintendo Switch
Nintendo gets off to a roaring start with Monster Hunter Rise, Capcom’s critically acclaimed beast-battler that introduced the clever new Wirebug mechanic-originally prototyped using rubber bands in the dev team’s office. Meanwhile, Into the Breach sneaks in at just over a fiver, and if you didn’t know: every playthrough’s scenario was painstakingly hand-balanced by a single designer to ensure chess-like precision.

Exciting Bargains for Xbox
Over on Xbox Series X, Wild Hearts delivers massive kaiju-hunting vibes for a fraction of the cost-and fun fact: the creature designs were inspired by traditional Japanese yokai.
