100 Hidden Objects bundle
What is it? A collection of 15 hidden aim games.
Price: £6.34 ( 59 % off )
Alice0 says: I ‘ve enjoyed the 100 Hidden Doodads games a lot over the past year. Every calendar month or then, another drawing arrives with another 100 doodads to find for less than a british pound. They ‘re belittled, bare, normally fun, and much pretty. indeed 15 of them for £6 is great. Hidden object games seem a good meet for the Christmas holidays, sprawling somewhere with a fully belly idly looking for that one concluding bloody bird. And if you want a taste of ’em, 100 Hidden Frogs is complimentary .
Ace Attorney Turnabout Collection
What is it? Criminal investigations and court drama, in melodramatic ocular novel class.
Price: £29.99/€44.99/ $ 44.99 ( 25 % off )
Hayden says: Since Rebecca is already away on her Christmas vacation, I figured I should throw in a trace that she ‘d approve of. Actually, Rebecca would defend this one on trial if needed. The Ace Attorney Turnabout Collection has a startle measure of capricious mysteries to solve, bringing the Phoenix Wright : Ace Attorney Trilogy and Great Ace Attorney Chronicles together into one stuff software. This one is practically spilling out of Santa ‘s hammock folks, and for £30 ? Well, that seems like a bargain. Wait, no, we are n’t actually stealing anything ! Why are we going to woo ? ! expostulation !

Deadly Premonition
What is it? An open-world repugnance soap opera which is simultaneously perplex and rubbish
Price: £3.99/€4.99/ $ 4.99 ( 80 % off )
Alice0 says: Some people will tell you deadly Premonition is “ so bad it ‘s good ”. They are wrong. baneful Premonition is so good, but unfortunately besides indeed bad—and the acuate line of its good and naughtiness besides amplifies its good. Some people will besides tell you it ‘s “ like if David Lynch made a video game ” just because it clearly cribs from Twin Peaks. They are wrong excessively, partially because Deadly Premonition entirely comes into its own after escaping the shadow of Twin Peaks, and partially because I actually do n’t think David Lynch is into janky PS2-esque open-world survival repugnance games .
so what actually is it ? A game with charm, personality, characters I care dearly for, a delightfully crude mish-mash of systems ranging from getting paid by the FBI for shaving to sometimes needing to sleep in a cemetery desperately devouring stolen tomatoes to stay active, a cardinal mystery whose unveiling thrilled me, severe fight, a circumscribed roll of character animations which amp up the melodrama, and a frightful personal computer port with so many bugs and technical limitations. It is one of my favored games, and a game I sometimes struggle to recommend .
deadly Premonition was much in sales years back but recently remained full-price for over a year until oh hey, search, it ‘s back in sales again. And while I found it unplayably broken when I tried a new playthrough final class, now it merely seems mega-janked alternatively of directly broken ? Mysteries. But hey, Steam offers refunds. But actually, do follow PCGamingWiki to install the resoluteness fix .

Exo One
What is it? Atmospheric, momentum-based interplanetary exploration ditty.
Price: £11.59/€12.79/ $ 13.59 ( 20 % off )
James says: Caveat 1 : This is on Game Pass. Do n’t buy it if you have Game Pass. caution 2 : Graham did n’t like it. But I am not Graham, and I found flinging Exo One ‘s shapeshifting marble starship around faraway worlds perfectly enjoyable, bordering on remedy. While it is indeed light on challenge once you get the hang of ditching friction for momentum, this short sci-fi floor still drip-feeds enough fiddling twists to keep it interesting. You ‘ll go from rolling and jumping over hills to long-range glide, pseudo-platforming and even skipping your flatten embark across oceans like a rock. All against the backdrop of some authentically attention-getting stranger vistas, which together with some hauntingly minimalist sound blueprint do a fine job of maintaining the feeling of being alone in space. Albeit as a ball .

Risk Of Rain 2
What is it? A cooperative shot that has you combining power-ups to take on alien hordes.
Price: £11.99/€14.99/ $ 14.99 ( 40 % off )
Ed says: A big bitty bet on, is Risk Of Rain 2. By “ bitty ”, I mean it ‘s great for gathering some mates and shooting some aliens for a act. No messing about. You choose your fictional character, pew pew aliens, hoover up power-ups, and gradually form an obscenely herculean construct. hardly a raw concept, sure, but ROR2 is polished and well-paced, with power-ups and characters you ‘ll feel an unstoppable urge to unlock.

Tales From Off-Peak City Vol. 1
What is it? A first-person venture game set in a phantasmagoric city.
Price: £3.59/€4.09/ $ 4.99 ( 50 % off )
Alice0 says: I adore Cosmo D ‘s wyrd first-person gamble games, sending us to weird spaces to explore and marvel at. He was a musician first, and the games set around and outside his phantasmagoric city constantly sound capital. I adore their bricolage look excessively, objects unified by their discord. And his stories are fascinating, the lives of people caught up in systems of profit and influence beyond their control condition. They ‘re just great .

Titanfall 2
What is it? Hyper-intuitive sci-fi FPS with mechs that are besides best friends.
Price: £3.99/€4.79/ $ 4.79 ( 84 % off )
James says: deoxyadenosine monophosphate much as I love Apex Legends ( 1464 hours and reckon, jeeeesh I need more games ), to me Titanfall 2 is placid the best federal protective service of holocene years. There ‘s an matchless brilliance to how it flits so graciously between energizing free-running manshoots and stompy mech fights, and the solo campaign and cooperative modality provide ample opportunity to enjoy it without getting the competitive sweats .
speaking of which, I ‘m not gon na lie : the multiplayer has seen better days. even at top out times you can expect a long wait for the matchmaking to file you into a game, and that ‘s when it ‘s not getting DDoS ‘d by either idle trolls or embittered Apex dislikers ( it ‘s not always unclutter which ). But when it works ? Hooooo son, is flush the most basic deathmatch an absolute blast, and there ‘s always the creative, perfectly-paced campaign to fall back on anyhow .

Ultimate Chicken Horse
What is it? Competitive multiplayer platformer where you build the levels as you play.
Price: £5.49/€6.24/ $ 7.49 ( 50 % off )
Hayden says: Ultimate Chicken Horse is the most fun I ‘ve had all year. It ‘s the dazed kind of playfulness that lets you attach swinging axes and wrecking balls to everything and watch the chaos unfold, but sometimes that ‘s precisely what you need to wind down .
It all starts like any platformer. Reach the masthead, win some points. Simple, right ? Well, UCH mixes things up by letting you place traps at the begin of every round, gradually turning this peaceful level into a deadly obstacle course. Whenever I play with friends, it cursorily devolves into anarchy as we try to make the level so incredibly difficult that it becomes closely impossible. Of naturally, person always manages to find a way past the versatile spinning flamethrowers and crossbows in some brilliant feat of skill ( or luck ) .
Yakuza 0
What is it? Sega ‘s open-world RPG where a wimp runs your very estate company while you beat up punks.
Price: £3.74/€4.99/ $ 4.99 ( 75 % off )
Ed says: At this price, I will not forgive you for passing up Yakuza 0. A game that ‘s bursting with buffet boys who express feels with fists. This is melodrama filled with twists. A real estate director. A game where you help a dominatrix to be more assertive. Somehow, it veers absolutely between earnestness and hilarity with relief. Want a cracking story and some genuine giggles ? here ‘s the ticket .
