God of War: was $19 now $9 @ Amazon
God of War’s latest entry might just be its strongest.

Along the way, they’ll fight off trolls, serpents, elves, dragons and even gods.

Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is a standalone expansion in the fan-favorite Naughty Dog series.

Maneater: was $39 now $12 @ Amazon
One of the more unusual “optimized for Xbox Series X/S” titles, Maneater is a “sharkPG,” in which you take control of a bull shark and build her into the terror of the seas. Presented in an engaging reality show parody format, Maneater is usually entertaining and occasionally hilarious. If nothing else, it’s different — and cheap.

Star Wars Squadrons: was $39 now $16 @ GameStop
Star Wars Squadrons demonstrates that there’s some life left in the old flight sim/dogfighting formula after all. You take control of either a Rebel Alliance or Galactic Empire hotshot pilot, then fly a variety of starfighters in an escalating series of combat missions. There’s a campaign mode as well as online multiplayer.

Watch Dogs Legion: was $59 now $29 @ Amazon
Watch Dogs Legion is one of Ubisoft’s newest games, and also one of its most ambitious.

Luigi’s Mansion 3: was $59 now $39 @ GameStop
The Luigi’s Mansion series has provided surprisingly reliable puzzles and mild scares ever since the GameCube days, and Luigi’s Mansion 3 is no exception.

Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle: was $59 now $14 @ Best Buy
Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle is one of the strangest games on the Nintendo Switch, and also one of the best.
