The latest round of sales spans everything from haunting detective stories to chaotic co-op mayhem, and these are the highlights worth clicking “add to cart” on.

In retro news, I’m using a ninja grenade to light a 27-candle cake baked for Tenchu: Stealth Assassins, the rooftop-skulking stealthfest where patience was paramount. I was hooked on this from day one, squinting at my CRT through the darkness, convinced I was the deadliest shadow since Batman got moody.
At the turn of the millennium, Tenchu felt and played like nothing else. It asked us to not fight but rather drop from a pagoda beam, slice a throat, and vanish before angry samurai could respond. It warranted a double playthrough, too, thanks to dual protagonists (Rikimaru was super stoic, and Ayame was all sass). And the grappling hook, while ubiquitous now in our modern gaming, was an incredibly novel and useful tool in ’98. Package all of that with a supremely funky soundtrack, and Tenchu was more or less a PS must-own that deserves to rise again.

On Nintendo, Hades II offers god-tier roguelike action that blends mythological drama with tight combat and impeccable music. Developer Supergiant somehow made dying feel rewarding. Meanwhile, Disco Elysium – The Final Cut remains one of the smartest RPGs ever written, its dialogue trees branching wider than your average moral compass.

Over on Xbox Series X, Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden tells a love story that punches through the afterlife with emotional weight and supernatural flair. It’s from the creators of Life is Strange, so bring tissues. Then there’s Immortals of Aveum, which delivers spell-slinging combat that feels like a shooter wearing a mage’s robe.
Xbox One players get an absolute steal in Mafia: Def. Ed., which modernises a mobster classic with a noir touch that still drips atmosphere. Soulcalibur VI is also swinging hard, letting you duel with both swords and hilariously over-the-top character customisation.

On PS5, Rise of the Ronin offers a feudal Japan odyssey that borrows some of Team Ninja’s finest swordplay, while Resident Evil Village keeps me paranoid in all the best ways with its gothic horror vibes. The Tall Vampire Lady lives rent-free in my nightmares.
PS4 owners shouldn’t skip Batman: Arkham Col., which remains the gold standard for superhero brawling. Meanwhile, Spyro Reignited Trilogy still nails that retro glow-up, and hearing Tom Kenny back as Spyro hits pure nostalgia.

Finally, on PC, Hogwarts Legacy Del. is your golden ticket to spell-slinging escapism, with a meticulous open world that’s pure fan service. Control: Ult. Ed. remains a benchmark for surreal, physics-driven storytelling that somehow looks even better on high-end rigs.

LEGO-wise, Wicked Shiz University is a delightful little display piece that feels like a lost Hogwarts offshoot, while One Piece Going Merry Ship is a must for Straw Hat fans chasing a challenging and detailed build.
