Syberia 3 is a narrative-heavy puzzle game. It's more focused on telling a story than presenting the player with challenges, but it's still a worthwhile adventure that differentiates itself from the first two games in the franchise. At just $6, what do you have to lose?

It's the Super Monkey Ball you know and love, but remastered for modern consoles. This collection is a great way to revisit a lot of classic games (and don't forget those crazy multiplayer modes). For just $15, this is a fantastic deal, and it's a game that anyone in the family can pick up and play.

One gamer said, "This game is awesome. Took me back to the days when I would sit and play monkey ball with my brother for hours. Now I get to sit and play with my kids, who also love it. I would highly recommend this game for nostalgia purposes or for fun with the kids."

Cris Tales is a stylish love letter to Japanese RPGs, and it has everything you'd expect: powerful magic, incredible animation and a plot about time travel. I can see influences from Final Fantasy and Chrono Trigger just from that description alone.

When it comes to racing games, few are as intense as Need for Speed. The game is not only fast-paced and absolutely gorgeous to look at, but the vibrant colors pop off the screen. Race during the day for cash, or bolster your reputation with illegal street races at night. The choice is yours, but know there are consequences if you get caught during an after-hours event.

"This game is amazing. The gameplay is incredible, from just playing adventure mode, to racing online with friends. The graphics are super awesome, multi-platform cross-play–compatible," said one adjective-happy gamer.

One player said, "Not one to play JRPGs much but after this one I think I will dive into the genre more. It definitely lives up to the hype behind it (although it's got it's fair share of repetitiveness with mementos). It's got a great dynamic cast of character and a real sense of style with it's artistic direction. Can't say enough good about it."

If you're itching for an in-depth city builder, you can't find a better game than Anno 1800. Plan out huge cities and logistic networks as you expand your towns and settle new lands. You can dominate opponents through warfare or with your mercantile prowess. This is designed for console play, so it's not nearly as demanding as the PC version — but it's just as fun.

"I love games like this. The graphics are stunning, conversion from mouse and keyboard to controller is seamless and done extremely well. The gameplay will provide countless hours of fun. Brings me back to the days of Sierra games with games such as Pharaoh and Cleopatra. Highly recommended," one player said.

The Callisto Protocol was a highly anticipated game that a lot of people missed out on, but right now, it's 50% off. This is the perfect chance to try it out for yourself and have the pants scared off of you. Be warned: It's a gore-fest, not suitable for kids or those with weak constitutions.

One player said, "Great graphics, good storyline. If like Dead Space, you'll like this."

Grand Theft Auto V is a popular game, but take note: it's absolutely not for kids. It throws players into the criminal elements of a fictionalized city, letting you explore the seedy underside and even become a crime lord yourself.

"I fully understand that this game is now pushing 10 years old, but it's still a marvel. The upgrade to the graphics and smooth gameplay are definitely worth the upgraded version for the new-generation consoles. Although it doesn't fully make use of the consoles' power, given that it's an older game, it's still one of the cheapest options out there for PS5 games. If you haven't played in a while, or ever, give it a shot, especially if it's on sale," urged one player.

Borderlands is best known as a looter-shooter, but New Tales is a narrative-driven adventure that lets you dive deeper into the tales of your favorite characters. The choices you make will influence the story, and a series of branching paths means that each playthrough can be different. Right now this game is 60% off!

"As someone who is fairly new to trying the Borderlands games, I wasn't sure what I should expect," related an enlightened player. "After all, looter-shooters are not my usual preferred game style. That said, this game pleasantly surprised me, and the fact it included both Tales games was even better... It has a good sense of humor, fun to play and you don't have to be a FPS pro to enjoy either game."

"I'll wear my grandsons out with this game," one shopper said. "I love watching my hyperactive grandchildren, dance their little hearts out to this game! It’s a good one to keep them busy."

I've played almost every Star Ocean title before this one, and The Divine Force is one of my favorites. Between the bombastic story and lovable characters, the game will suck you in. The new ability to fly around the map makes exploration more fun than ever before, and of course, there are tons of side quests and extra content to explore once you finish the main story.

Fans say this is a great comeback for the series: "Great game plot, game play and story. It’s reminiscent of the best Star Ocean games in the series."

Spiritfarer is a cozy game about death. You take on the role of Stella, a girl who makes the idea of passing over as comfortable as possible. Ferry spirits around on your boat, fish for their favorite snacks (or hidden treasure) and so much more. But fair warning — this game can tug at the heartstrings.

"The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is an incredible follow up to Breath of the Wild and builds upon and improves the foundation that game created. The new mechanics are very fun to use and allows you to solve puzzles in interesting ways every single time. Fusing Items is super fun and spices up the combat." Thus said one five-star reviewer.
