Unsurprisingly, the holidays have always been a terrific opportunity to save on the latest title or revisit the classics you may have missed, often for far less than their usual asking price. But while Steam’s winter sale has come and gone — taking its terrific Diablo IV discount along with it — there’s still time to take advantage of Epic Games’ annual holiday sale, which runs until January 10th at 11AM ET.
The full list of eligible titles is exhaustive, to be honest, but there are a couple of newer PC games worth highlighting. If you’re looking for a very heady third-person shooter with some Twin Peaks vibes that pulls out all the stops when it comes to ray tracing, for instance, Alan Wake 2 is on sale for $39.99 ($10 off) with a free copy of Alan Wake Remastered. Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition is also down to $53.59 ($26 off), which is a terrific price considering the Ultimate Edition includes both the base game and its new Phantom Liberty expansion. Then, there’s The Last of Us Part I, which is available for $40.19 (about $20 off) for a limited time.
It’s also worth noting that Epic brought Epic Coupons to its ongoing holiday sale, which allows you to take 33 percent off any transaction that costs $14.99 or more. That means, if you haven’t applied it yet, you can save some serious cash on all of the aforementioned games — including Alan Wake 2, which can be had for a cool $26.79.
Alan Wake 2 is the culmination of everything Remedy Entertainment has been building toward. The inventive third-person survival game is both horrifying and strange, with dual campaigns that are more than a little meta.
Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition includes the base game as well as CDPR’s excellent Phantom Liberty expansion, which improves the game significantly. The spy thriller DLC introduces players to a new area of Night City, along with a host of new quests and items.
Sony and Naughty Dog gave The Last of Us a fresh coat of paint to make it look, sound, and play more like The Last of Us Part II, complete with a welcome graphical makeover. Read our review of the PS5 version.
Samsung’s first unpacked event of 2024 is right around the corner, which means we’re likely to get all the details on the new S24 series before the month is out. (Hell, you can already place a reservation for the new devices sight unseen.) That said, there’s nothing wrong with opting for a competent midrange phone over the latest and greatest handset, which is what makes

Go Mecha Ball, out today on Steam and Game Pass, is a swish blend of twin-stick shooting and pinball physics
Friends, it is finally time for me to discourse unto you about my great love of balls. The roots of my enthusiasm go back to pinball machines - both the fancier, arcade variety that transmogrify into e.g. screaming robot skulls when you achieve a high-enough multiplier, and the crappy, play-at-home variety that are basically a canted wooden sheet with some numbers drawn on it. But it wasn't till I embraced the holy medium of videogames that I realised the full potential of balldom.

The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered launched last week, and it seems to have got off to a solid start where its sales are concerned, having debuted at No. 3 in the weekly UK physical sales charts.

The difference between The Last of Us and God of War’s roguelike modes is night and day
After a decade of perfecting the narrative-driven, action-adventure formula, PlayStation’s first-party games are tackling a new genre: the roguelike. Both God of War Ragnarök and the recently released The Last of Us Part II Remastered have their own roguelike modes that remix the core combat of their respective games into a repeatable action premise. At a quick glance, they’re very similar. Both modes have players cutting through arenas filled with enemies and grabbing new upgrades en route to a final boss battle.

The Last of Us Part 2 almost had a very different ending, according to Remastered commentary
The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered is a strange blend. On one hand, it’s a good excuse to revisit Digital Trends’ 2020 Game of the Year selection. On the other, it’s a bizarre package filled with tone-deaf bonus modes that water down the base game’s own message on cyclical violence. Considering that it’s not as much of a “remaster” as its title implies, I wouldn’t blame most players for skipping it.
