Don't believe me? Try to play it now and tell me it's not terrible. Thankfully there are plenty of other excellent and weird Rare games on this low-cost collection. Get it on Amazon Dead Rising 4 Dead Rising is, as a series, one of the most ridiculous and fun takes on the idea of the zombie apocalypse.
You can make that determination for yourself with the Ezio Collection, which has those two games along with AC Revelations. Three games in one? Get it on Amazon Destiny 2 Destiny 2 really did improve on the formula of the original in so many really excellent ways. And then it kind of ran out of steam. But the base game is still a lot of fun, and if you've been holding off, now's your chance, guardian.
It's a platformer! It's survival horror? How about all those things? Get it on Amazon Prey "We got to Prey just to make it today. Prey is a lot of spooky space stuff, with sci-fi terror on a moon station crawling with alien murder creatures.

You already knew that, though. Get it on Amazon Sunset Overdrive Insomniac's Sunset Overdrive is one of the most criminally overlooked games in the history of all games.

As far as I know, it's the only game that can claim that honor. Get it on Amazon Dishonored 2 Dishonored 2 is another great sequel to a great game. Great sequels take what works, expand on them, and leave what doesn't behind. It's really hard to read the words and not have the song from the amazingly bad '90s movie pop into your head. The XL edition has everything: all the characters, the gore, the brutalities, everything you need.
You may need to get through locked doors and gates or run away from braver villagers when they chase you away, but there's always multiple methods for you to get around and outwit the humans. The graphics design is simple, as is the piano soundtrack, but it's well done. The characters are plenty expressive without extra detail, and the soundtrack intelligently blends between different versions of tracks depending on what you're doing at the time.
Why are you going on a series of suicidal raids against a bunch of well-armed gangsters? That floating banana told you to do it. This is a game about stylishly fighting your way through rooms full of baddies in slow motion. The story of violent revenge and horrific twists will take you through the game once, but what will keep you coming back is the call of the high-score leaderboard. Linking all of your special moves together, avoiding bullets while filling everyone else with lead will rack up your points and multipliers, giving you a score that you can compare with other players around the world.
With every level offering a new scenario with new obstacles and killing opportunities, you'll not get tired of the cool yet wacky violence that defines the game. Exploring the surprisingly college-esque underworld, your weapon is a flexible conversation system that builds your relationships with your friends and enemies over time, as you progress on your quest to get invited for a drink-off with Lucifer himself, and a selection of beverages that will power-up your conversation skills.
Although Hell still works like you'd expect, with demons torturing the souls of humans, what you don't know is that after the whistle blows, everyone heads to the bar together to discuss the recent scandals. It's these scandals you have to resolve in order to get to Lucifer, with the outcome resting on key decisions you make through the game.
The writing is super smart, balancing the absurd humor of the situation with the more meaningful interpersonal drama, with both helping draw you towards the end of the game. Afterparty is bursting with character and creativity, and a surprising self-awareness that helps everything hold together. One of the most popular racing games ever, only with a new coat of paint to make it more enjoyable on modern systems.
Anywhere you drive in this open world leads to a race, whether something as long as travelling from the tops of the hills to the dockyards on the other side of the map, or just a block-long drag race. This being the Remastered version, you also get all the DLC EA released for the game, and a fully functional online mode, so you can race through downtown, try dangerous overtakes on a mountain pass, or head over to Big Surf Island to have a go at some stunt driving with friends and rivals alike.
There may not be any licensed vehicles to admire or famous tracks to test your skills on, but this game captures the joy of driving fast cars across varied environments, day or night, and the excitement of crashing them into each other or driving them off enormous ramps. In the hot summer months, the state of Wyoming hires volunteers to keep an eye on forest fires.
You play Henry, one such volunteer who heads out into the woods to escape his responsibilities back home. With only the voice of Delilah, another volunteer, via walkie-talkie for company, you travel the trails around your watchtower to check that everything is as it should be. There aren't any enemies to fight, and the people you do encounter are only done so indirectly or from a distance.
This is a game that leaves you alone to walk the forest paths with your thoughts a lot, which may annoy some people looking for a direct challenge, but allows you to experience Henry's story in a more intimate way, and truly appreciate the isolation of the Wyoming forests.
A thoroughly good story topped with some beautiful vistas, this is one that will stay in your thoughts for some time. Yarny is a living piece of thread woven into a little creature.
The world outside is a large place, but with the help of his stringy form, you will move him onwards on his adventure around charming locations based on the memories of the old woman who created him. The physics-based platforming is engaging, with your movement abilities based on using the threads that make up Yarny to cross gaps and travel upwards and downwards. However, you only have a finite amount of yarn to use, so you'll have to move carefully unless you want to find yourself tangled up inches before the exit.
The story and tone makes it a chilled out and emotionally touching experience. You adventure via photographs around your creator's house into her family's memories. You wouldn't expect a game where the main character has no mouth and only two static eyes to have such a meaningful story to tell, but through the game you'll observe the levels getting darker and lighter in tone, taking you on a journey that will satisfy fans of good game mechanics and storytelling. In this puzzle platformer, you play a cute snake named Noodle.
Since snakes are not known for jumping around or moving at high speed, you instead progress by slithering your way up, around and along obstacles, with your bird companion Doodle helping lift your long serpent body if you need a little help on your quest to find out who is stealing the jungle's keystones.
The levels require you to collect keys to the exit, before you then make your way out of the level. You'll quickly learn how to move in a snake-like way, slithering from side to side to move quickly in a straight line and tightening your grip as you climb your way up obstacles. Like other platformers, gravity isn't your friend, but because snakes can't jump, it feels like an entirely new concept to deal with. Other hazards like wind and lava are also present, and require you to rethink your normal approach to these dangers.
And if you're a challenge-fiend, you can unlock a speedrun mode to play once you've beaten the game. One of the most beloved 'metroidvania' games of this generation is available with all its DLC for an absolute steal of a price.
Hollow Knight: Voidheart Edition delivers the beautifully bleak and brutally difficult 2D platforming action of the original game, complete with four additional content packs that give you new abilities to master and new bosses to vanquish. The setting is Hallownest, a desolate underground kingdom inhabited by insects, including yourself, but there are few friends to be found. Much of your time will be spent wandering the surprisingly varied environments and fighting enemies, looking for the next boss or a new item that will allow you to explore more and more of the map.
If you die, you'll leave behind some of your currency and magic in a shadow version of yourself, which you'll have to defeat in a Dark Souls-style corpse run to get your earnings back. Celeste is an engrossing 2D sidescrolling platformer that's as brutal as it is beautiful. Created by the folks behind multiplayer smash TowerFall, Celeste brings the same charmingly pixelated graphics and airtight platforming controls and crams them into a narrative-driven adventure filled with challenging stages to conquer.
You'll be jumping your way up a mountain, using dashes to defy gravity and reach the other end of the level, collecting items as you go. If you are struggling, you can activate the versatile Assist Mode to give you exactly the kind of boost you need.
This can be good if you just want to experience the story, which follows your player character Madeleine climbing Celeste Mountain, meeting other travellers while fighting to overcome an internal struggle. While Celeste might make you want to toss your controller on occasion, its serene soundtrack and touching story will keep you around.
If you manage to collect enough strawberries through the levels, you'll be able to unlock the B-Side and C-Side versions of the levels, which ramp up the challenge so you can prove your skills. While we and the gaming community at large all rate these games highly, there are a few factors to consider if you want to pick the ones that'll suit you best.
If you're looking for more general recommendations, then you can usually go by genre. These descriptions will. If you're unsure about a game, see if there's a free demo available. This is often the first level or a part of some early levels of a game, and will do the best job of showing you what the games are all about.
If you know what you want, but want to save as much money as possible, then you can wait for these cheap games to get even cheaper by waiting for a sale.
These come around several times a year, often in conjunction with major holidays, and will see the prices of these games drop even further, letting you either save money or get more games on the same budget.
