AU Deals: A Freebie Dead Island 2, The Hottest Prices for Clair Obscur, Personas, Sonics, and More!

Thank your own personal deity–possibly Prince Ahzrak–it’s Friday! The sales shelves are stacked, the discounts are deep, and there’s no better time to finally tick off a wishlist title you’ve been eyeing since launch. Whether you’re a couch co-op diehard, a story-driven solo adventurer, or just here for sweet, sweet freebies, this end of week haul is stuffed with titles worth our hard-earned dollarydoos.

This Day in Gaming 🎂

In retro news, I’m celebrating the 12th birthday of Deadly Premonition, a so-bad-it’s-great cult hit. Basically, this was an incredibly low-budget Japanese Twin Peaks with ropey visuals, controls, script, voice acting—you name it, they SMSed it in. Considering all of this, you should definitely treat yourself to a drive (hopefully at a heavily discounted rate) to the strange city of Greenvale. If only to watch your FBI protagonist multitask driving along a stormy road, smoking, perusing a case file on a laptop riding shotgun, and having a phone debate about the BDSM implications of Tom & Jerry cartoons. Gloriously, it all goes down[Silent]hill from there.
