Welcome back to another week of paying very little for a whole lot of escapism. Today is very much all about scoring some of the best games 2024 had to offer for 2022 prices. I’ve also sifted through vast lakes of discounts in order to dredge out the hidden golden oldies submerged within. Let’s hook you up with those right now!
Meanwhile, in retro news, we’re trying to celebrate the 17th birthday of Magnetica on DS, a critically well-received puzzler. As per my policy of complete, 100% honesty, I have to admit to you that I never bought this back in the day, nor did I play it in later years. Magnetica looks…uh, okay, and is clearly somewhat inspired by Bust-a-Move (a game series I have indeed sacrificed months of my life to and could speak at great, great length about).
This Day in Gaming 🎂

Donkey Kong Country Returns HD
0
Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong are back for some ground-pounding action in this HD version of Donkey Kong Country Returns, originally released on the Wii system. Incidentally, that original was a rather brutal platformer and we 9’ed it.

Persona 5 Royal

Persona 5 was already a strong front-runner for being the best JRPG ever made, and Royal really gets me wondering what else could even compete. 10/10, masterpiece.

Space Marine 2

Just a terrific third-person shooter with a compelling story, loads of weapons that are a blast to use, and a healthy variety of enemies to use them on. 8/10, great.
