Gold-Plated Games

Here’s what we like to see, a great big ol’ stack of Weeklong Deals to dig into! Some personal all-time favorites have surfaced here, including Disco Elysium and Banished, and I guarantee you don’t want to miss out on these. There’s a wide range of genres represented here, so I have no doubt you’ll find something to tide you over until the next big sale in, like, two weeks.
