Gold-Plated Games

It’s that most awkward time of year, when Weeklong Deals fall in between the biggest sales possible! That’s not to say you won’t find worthwhile discounts, of course. In addition to the voluminous list of recommendations found below, you can also score titles like Star Wars Battlefront II, Disgaea, and recent roguelike sensations like UnderMine and Neon Abyss for cheap. And for folks that just can’t wait for that next big sale, that’s gotta be good news!
