I’m always depressed when well-intentioned AAAs are removed from the list, e.g Forza Horizon 4 will take place by the end of the year. However, I believe the pain of this loss is lessened when the publisher not only has the common sense to warn players about the ax well in advance, but also provides an 80% discount at launch. Such a sweet ride. Put it in your steam garage before it goes off into the sunset forever.
In retro news, I’m celebrating my 33rd birthday Doctor Mariothe most trusted and beloved antivirus software in the gaming industry. The brainchild of producer Gunpei Yokoi, creator GameBoy AND Playing and watchingAND Metroid series creator Takahiro Harada, I remember Dr. Mario fondly for his basic addiction and melodies about earworms that were much more contagious than the viruses I eliminated with drip pills.

Super Mario Odyssey

A great platformer that’s worth buying at full price, let alone at a bargain price. Odyssey distills the irreverent world and characters of the venerable series and best-in-class platforming action and introduces a constant stream of unexpected mechanics.

A Jedi survivor from Star Wars
0
I’ve been repeating this with my youngest and I forgot how great this sequel is compared to Fallen Order. The worlds are bigger, the puzzles are smarter, and he’s focusing on a fresh “Kylo Ren” and “saber + blaster” stance. Total update. 9/10.

PS5 Slim console

A fancy fresh PS5 Slim for $150 off? That’s the kind of EOFY deal I’d jump at… if I didn’t already own a Slim. I can confirm: a pretty capable unit that does everything the OG version does, and isn’t the size of a tiny boogey board.
