Let's all make like my usual Oblivion playthrough and get our inventories severely over-encumbered with genre staples, cult classics, and a few hidden gems that might just surprise you. Whether you're on the hunt for sprawling RPGs, nostalgic remakes, or something stylish and brand new, there’s a little something tucked into each platform’s treasure chest. And at discounts this deep, it's difficult not to justify one more download (or five).
This Day in Gaming ?
In retro news, I'm using a flaming deku stick to light a 22-candle cake for The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, a GameCube gem worth every rupee. I have vivid launch memories of being blown away by the (fandangle and fairly groundbreaking) cel-shaded visuals and the sheer size of this vast Waterworld. Furthermore, the "living cartoon" aesthetic allowed for wackier than usual NPCs to shine through like never before. Cases in point: a significantly larger role for the turbo-flamboyant Tingle, plus the hilarity of that Battleship Minigame Guy. "Ker-BOOOM!"

Nice Savings for Nintendo Switch
Nintendo Switch players can scoop up Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate for just A$15, less than the price of a pub schnitty. This old-school entry actually predates the open-world flourish of Monster Hunter: World, but diehards swear by its dense endgame and punishing G-rank quests. Also worth a look is Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition, a remaster of the 2008 JRPG that once had a secret playable dog detective.

Exciting Bargains for Xbox
On Xbox Series X, Epic Mickey: Rebrushed drops to A$54. This Warren Spector-directed oddity gave Mickey a paintbrush instead of a platforming jump and let him rework Disney’s forgotten worlds.

Pure Scores for PlayStation
