AU Deals: A 12 Buck 10/10 Must-play Masterpiece, $34 FC 25, Saber Sliced Star Wars Outlaws, and More!

It’s time to boot off another week of kick arse gaming bargains. Looming large on my Radar of Reduced RRPs are the continuing mad deals on Space Marine 2 and Star Wars Outlaws. The former is particularly great for three-player co-op, which, as regular readers know, I’m always a fiend for. Alternatively, maybe just get three very much still solid (Snake) Metal Gears for a pineapple fiddy.

In retro news, I’m celebrating the 20th birthday of Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, a GBA classic. Though initially the concept of an RPG meshing (sometimes pantsless) anthropomorphic Disney animals with Final Fantasy favourites sounded goofier than, well… Goofy, gamers loved it. To keep that enthusiasm going, a direct sequel was commissioned for handheld to bridge the inaugural KH and its forthcoming numbered sequel. In terms of production values and content, it was one of the most features-packed cartridges for the system, with full-motion video (!!!), an engrossing storyline, addictive real-time card combat, and link-cable-enabled 2P battles to boot.

Red Dead 2 Ultimate

Combined with strong writing and direction, is a game that’s sincere instead of satirical, and funny while remaining capable of some supremely well-earned emotional moments, especially throughout the truly excellent crescendo and epilogue. 10/10.
