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 2 Console

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. Meanwhile, TopSpin 2K25 is down to A$23, serving up a slick revival of the long-dormant tennis sim with legends like Federer and Serena front and centre.

Pure Scores for PlayStation

Purchase Cheap for PC
Lastly, PC players can grab Mass Effect Legendary Edition for an absurd A$8. That’s just the price of a fancy coffee to relive (or reshape) Commander Shepard’s galaxy-saving arc. And Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch Remastered is down to A$11, with Studio Ghibli’s unmistakable art and composer Joe Hisaishi’s sweeping score still just as enchanting as it was back in 2011.
