Let’s cut the preamble and get right to the good stuff—the discounts of the day! Cream of the crop deals include a historical low on Super Mario RPG, a decent chunk off the GOAT that is The Last of Us Part I, and No Man’s Sky went half off in time for its Orbital update. Gaming’s greatest comeback story, that one. You love to see it.

Tekken 8 is an amazing entry in the long-running series. Expect interesting tweaks to its classic fighting systems, a full suite of fun offline modes, great new characters, incredible training tools, and a vastly improved online experience. 9/10, amazing.
