Two GOTY Historic Lows, $120 Off the Delisting Ultimate Edition of a 9.6/10, and More! – IGN

Welcome to another full week of wall-to-wall savings. As per always, I’ve scoured every store worth trusting to find nothing but the games worth playing at the prices they probably should have been to begin with. I’ve also taken the time to relist that Forza Horizon 4 delist deal. Given the weird way Microsoft is sunsetting things, it seems the Ultimate Edition really is the way to go.

In retro news, I’m celebrating the 29th birthday of the Sega Saturn, a commercial failure that still holds a special place in the sub-cockles of my heart. What did it in? Complex hardware design that hindered the harnessing of its 3D capabilities, limited third-party support, and the suits severely underestimated the upstart Sony PlayStation. Be that as it may, us Saturn tragics ate well for a time, thanks to (mostly) high-quality Sega Model 2 arcade ports and exclusives like NiGHTS, Guardian Heroes, Burning Rangers, and the Panzer Dragoon series.

Hades

0

Hades is a one-of-a-kind rogue-lite that sets the bar for creatively combining wildly different genres together and using their strengths to complement each other in unexpected ways. A true must-play that’s now half-off (so there’s little excuse now).

Baldur’s Gate 3

0

They don’t discount this one often. Don’t need to. BG3’s the ideal mix of crunchy, tactical, old-school RPG combat, an epic and well-written story with complex characters and lots of meaningful choices, and a high level of polish and presentation.

Hogwarts Legacy

0

Captures all the excitement and wonder of the Wizarding World with its memorable new characters, challenging and nuanced combat, and a wonderfully executed Hogwarts student fantasy. 9/10, amazing.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth

0

Feels odd that an RPG of this calibre is already down in price. I loved it. Rebirth impressively built off of what Remake set in motion as both a best-in-class action-RPG full of exciting challenge and depth. 9/10, amazing.
