Hades
If roguelikes are up your alley, you’ve probably either heard of or already played Hades. For anyone that hasn’t, however, this game is a must buy. It’s arguably Supergiant Games’ biggest title to date and its sequel is currently in the works. Follow the story of Zagreus, the son of Hades, as he attempts to escape from the underworld to reach Mount Olympus. Fight your way through, gather power ups, and meet familiar relatives can be swayed to aid you along the way.
Cyberpunk 2077
In spite of less than flattering reception on release, Cyberpunk 2077 has become a well-loved title for its captivating story, gorgeous design, and exciting gameplay. Venture through the dystopian Night City as V, a customizable mercenary, and navigate your way through a vast open-world where you’ll meet a diverse cast of characters.
Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade
Final Fantasy VII remains a classic memory amongst gamers and the announcement of its remake took the world by storm. While some time has passed since the game’s release on Playstation and PC, you can snag the cult classic at a massive discount alongside a bonus side story. Enjoy new game mechanics and the world of Midgar, remastered and reimaged.
Persona 5 Royal
Another JRPG to look out for is Persona 5 Royal. Explore the world of high schoolers who double as vigilante heroes, the “Phantom Thieves” as they delve into the minds of corrupt enemies. While the game offers simple turn-based combat, it is heavily renowned for its artwork, story, and some richer complexity behind an easy to learn system.
Palworld
Jump into the action of Palworld – while still in early access, you can enjoy a small discount on a rather new release. Enjoy an expansive and diverse world where you can tame and train “Pals” who serve as your companions. With plenty of features built into the game, craft, build, farm, and partake in combat. Experience a unique twist on the survival genre with a game that might remind you of another classic.

The latest addition to the Yakuza series, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is a direct sequel to Yakuza Like a Dragon.

With new characters, improved mechanics, and a new story to sift through, there’s something for both hardcore fans and casual button mashers (that’s not to say hardcore fans don’t mash too).
Lethal Company
Looking for a co-op game to enjoy with friends? Lethal Company could be the one. Play as employees of “The Company” as you scavenge abandoned moons to obtain and sell scrap, while fighting for your lives. Avoid traps and survive terrifying monsters for some cash – typical corporate life.
