There’s never been a better time to start building a big ol’ pile of shame, my fellow patient gamer. Whether you’re keen to pick up a cult favourite or just want to marvel at how cheap Mass Effect is going for, today’s best gaming deals are a tidy mix of crowd-pleasers and critical darlings. And now, without much more ado, here are my favourite deals on The Citadel.
This Day in Gaming 
In retro news, I’m celebrating the 32nd birthday of the Sega Mega Drive II, a beast I still own and adore. Bristling with 16-bits of power (and blast processing technology), this bit of kit arrived on my birthday, with a copy of Streets of Rage from a MegaZone subscription deal, and basically made my year. I was to eat well with Sonics 1 through 3, Bonanza Bros., RoboCop vs. Terminator, Disney’s Aladdin / Lion King, Streeties, MK, Golden Axe, Earthworm Jim, a bunch of Shinobis, and more. Absolute peak Sega era.

Nice Savings for Nintendo Switch
Nintendo Switch players can snap up Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope for just A$19 and it’s a steal for a tactical RPG that won many a strategy award. Fun fact: Mario’s blaster in this game was originally going to be a water gun until Ubisoft got official permission from Nintendo to arm him (sort of). Another highlight is Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes at A$39, a musou-style alternate timeline to Three Houses that gives Edelgard even more dramatic flair.

Exciting Bargains for Xbox
Over on Xbox, Mass Effect Legendary Edition is a no-brainer at just A$9. That’s three games, hundreds of hours, and at least five “Did Shepard just flirt with me?” moments per playthrough. Pair it with Disco Elysium – The Final Cut at A$17, a game where your tie might literally insult you. It’s a special kind of ride.

Pure Scores for PlayStation
PlayStation 5 fans can scoop up Tales of Arise for A$32, a stunning action JRPG where a talking owl collects cute accessories. Meanwhile, RoboCop: Rogue City (A$14) surprisingly slaps. Mostly because it’s voiced by Peter Weller himself and packed with ‘80s splatterpunk cool.

And for PC folks, A Plague Tale: Requiem (A$28) continues its beautiful, rat-infested tragedy with remarkable fidelity. I say pair it with Lords of the Fallen (A$27), which looks like it benched Soulsborne and got jacked. Not a FromSoftware original, but certainly not to be underestimated.
