So I’m all the time looking out to see what video games are getting discounted throughout the vacation sell-off in case there are one or two issues I can decide up and add to my bodily assortment for affordable. I would even wrap them and put them in a stocking or beneath the tree and faux they’re from Santa.
Listed below are a number of of the nice offers on the market up to now. I’ll be looking out for extra and can replace the listing if I discover them. Please be happy to share any good ones you’ve noticed within the feedback as nicely.
Visons of Mana
The whimsical action-RPG is presently just $20 everywhere throughout each PS5 and Xbox Sequence X|S (bodily solely). It’s a surprisingly respectable stab at reinvigorating the Mana franchise after greater than a decade and not using a actual sequel.
Remaining Fantasy 16
This one’s additionally $20 at most stores this week, a steal for a 2023 GOTY contender that shines regardless of its most evident flaws. The music, performances, and cinematic boss fights are all top-tier and the motion feels nice even when it will get repetitive.
Unicorn Overlord
This Vanillaware technique RPG additionally will get a bit repetitive within the again half however is price it for the present value of just $25 across PS5 and Switch. The story is unnecessary however the artwork is phenomenal and the mash-up of turn-based fight and RTS micro-management is sufficient to hold you powering via.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
I’m nonetheless not very far in Warhorse Studios’ open-world immersive sim however I’m liking it much more than the primary sport.

The PS5 model’s additionally been going in and out of stock at GameStop for a similar cheaper price.
Fantasian Neo Dimension
Don’t let the cellular sport origins idiot you. Fantasian Neo Dimension is the great things. Mistwalker’s Hironobu Sakaguchi channels his early Remaining Fantasy roots to ship a slick turn-based journey that seems like it will have been proper at dwelling on the PS1. Amazon has the PS5 and Swap copies for just $30.
Mega Man Battle Community Legacy Assortment
I’ve been that means to select this one up for some time and for some cause it’s simply $20 proper now on Amazon. The video games themselves are very comparable however the hybrid technique gameplay stays peak Recreation Boy Advance nostalgia.
Remaining Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age
I really feel like FF12 is a bit underrated nowadays. It’s pound-for-pound one of many densest entries within the collection and the remaster does a wonderful job of sprucing up the PS2 visuals and enhancing a few of the job board development to make it really feel extra like a well-known job-based MMO system. It’s solely $25 on each PS5 and Swap at the moment.
Remaining Fantasy Pixel Remaster
Is the Pixel Remaster assortment overpriced? Sure. Are the smoothmaster visuals a bummer? Additionally sure. However you may’t get too choosy about proudly owning a bit of historical past. Including it to your assortment for just $40 isn’t unhealthy.
Tremendous Mario RPG
You’ll most likely by no means personal the unique SNES model of Tremendous Mario RPG. Used copies begin at $50. Good ones are fairly a bit extra. The Swap remaster, which appears glorious and improves fight with a brand new final system, is a superb pickup at just $25 right now.
Persona 3 Reload
The bodily model for PS5 is presently simply $17 at Amazon and solely $25 a Best Buy. It’s a stellar remake and possibly my favourite sport within the collection at this level. Not as flashy as Persona 5 however with means higher melancholy teen vibes.
