If your backlog isn’t looking daunting enough already, a fresh crop of digital deals is here to test your willpower. My haul for today spans iconic collections, cerebral indies, and a few deeply discounted blockbusters that are hard to ignore. Whether you’re chasing nostalgia or keen to experience bold experiments in game design, there’s something worthwhile in every category.

This Day in Gaming ?

In retro news, I'm celebrating the 32nd birthday of Starwing, aka the PAL version progenitor of the Star Fox series. Interestingly, its N64 sequel was named Lylat Wars, at which point Nintendo Europe said, "Screw it, we'll just use the US naming convention from here on out." Starwing is the shoot 'em up that deserves special acclaim as the first hardware-accelerated 3D gaming experience on a home console (courtesy of the Super FX chip). And though the 15 frames per second are tough to endure in a modern replay, there's no denying this blew my '93 mind like a Smart Bomb to the brain.

Nice Savings for Nintendo Switch

Nintendo Switch fans can dive into Lego Horizon Adventures (A$53.80), a surprising crossover between Sony’s iconic Horizon series and the brick-built world of LEGO. Guerrilla Games worked closely with LEGO to ensure Aloy’s makeover retained her headstrong charm, even with a minifig face. Meanwhile, MGS: Master Col. Vol. 1 (A$44.30) lets you relive Hideo Kojima’s Cold War espionage saga in one slick package. The collection even includes digital screenplay excerpts from the original games.

Exciting Bargains for Xbox

Over on Xbox Series X, Starfield Constellation Ed. (A$197) is a lavish bundle for the space-faring RPG that comes with a working watch modelled after your in-game chronometer. For something more grounded, Persona 3 Reload (A$49) breathes new life into a cult favourite. The original was the first in the series to introduce the now-iconic Social Link system.

Pure Scores for PlayStation

PS5 players shouldn’t miss Stranger of Paradise FF Origin (A$41.50), an utterly chaotic remix of the original Final Fantasy complete with meme-worthy dialogue. Judgment (A$28.50) is also a steal, developed by Yakuza veterans and featuring a lead actor who insisted on approving every in-game likeness, right down to his hairstyle. Super important stuff.

Purchase Cheap for PC

Lastly, PC classics shine with Portal 2 (A$2.90), where Stephen Merchant improvised most of Wheatley’s lines, and Braid, Ann. Ed. (A$7.30), which includes developer commentary that doubles as a crash course in game philosophy.
