OnlySP: Mid-Winter approaches, for us antipodeans anyway, so what better time to curl up in a warm blanket with a good game or three? Well, after the glut of June (The Last Of Us and State Of Decay being the heavy hitters), July brings the leaner months. Fewer games being released means slimmer pickings. But there are a few choice titles hitting the shelves, and we bring them to your attention thusly.
During the Humble Bundle RPG Sale, you can get up to 90% off on any game from the great selection of RPG titles that Humble has to offer.
The Wasteland 3 and Kingdom Come: Deliverance complete editions are a steal at those prices. Fantastic RPGs with a lot of content.
Greedfall is easily one of the best "diablo clones" on the market, and it's dirt cheap for the base games. Their lengthy expansions are still kind of pricey though.
Vampyr is a great mention, but it's already offered on certain subscription services, and can be found cheaper either way.
One more personal recommendation of mine is Elex. A lot of player agency in the story and quests, and the world is very interesting to explore. Just don't expect the best combat, and there's definite jank to be had.
Assassins creed odyssey at $15? Worth it?
Does it take lots of grinding to experience the story ?

You'll want to get involved in the latest set of discounted Xbox One and Xbox 360 titles like those found in the Deals With Gold Sale. Fully playable across Xbox Series X|S as well, checking out the lists of cut-price games is a great way of filling your digital library. And the sale for 17th-23rd November 2020 ain't a bad one either."
The Nintendo 3DS is rife with high-quality titles, many of which should be ported to the Switch.
I agree some games should be. Like Super Mario 3D Land without the 3D 😆, Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon as well.
Dude, what about The World Ends With You? Some good games are listed but several are missing.
While I may try out Dark if it seems to be well-received, July and August are usually the months I get caught up from the last few months. Then come September the vicious cycle starts anew with GTA V.
