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.
