Amazon is continuing to celebrate The Game Awards, which took place on December 11th, with a big sale on titles that were nominated in their respective categories.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

Where to Buy:

  • $49.99 $39.99 at Amazon (PC)

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a turn-based RPG with an engaging battle system with plenty of tactical diversity, an atmospheric soundtrack that sets the right mood, and a story that our reviewer found heart-wrenching, stirring, and humorous. Battles feel dynamic thanks to a dodge and parry system that rewards you for launching a countermove. Getting a perfectly timed parry can turn the tide of your battle, but it may take you some time to learn how certain enemies move before you can learn the right timing. Read our review.

Silent Hill F

Where to Buy:

  • $69.99 $45.99 at Amazon (PS5) (with prime)

Silent Hill f is the latest entry in the long-running survival horror series set in 1960s Japan, and the PS5 version is on sale for $44.99 ($25 off) exclusively for Prime members. Its strengths lie in its beautiful visuals, intriguing location, deep story, and tense, melancholic atmosphere. There aren’t many jump scares, but you may feel a general sense of unease. The game’s protagonist, a high schooler named Hinako, grows more assertive as the game progresses, and she wrestles with both the enemies in front of her and an internal struggle between tradition and modernity. The game has five possible endings, which adds to its replayability. Read our review. 

Death Stranding 2: On The Beach

Where to Buy:

  • $69.99 $49.97 at Amazon (PS5)

Death Stranding 2: On The Beach is the latest title from Kojima Productions, and you can snag the PS5 game for $49.97 (around $20 off). The game is a direct sequel to the original Death Stranding, and it follows protagonist Sam and his adopted child Lou as the former continues his quest to connect the world to an internet-like network.

The game’s landscape is bleak and empty, and you’ll have to contend with ghostlike creatures as you trek through the game’s world with weapons, traversal gear, healing items, and cargo. The missions, which range from rescuing a hostage to keeping your cargo above a certain temperature in harsh terrain, keep the game feeling interesting. The game’s story is easier to follow than its predecessor, though knowing the backstory can help a lot. Read our review.

Split Fiction 2

Where to Buy:

  • $49.99 $30 at Amazon (PS5)
  • $49.99 $30 at Amazon (Nintendo Switch 2)

Split Fiction is a co-op adventure game that takes place in two different worlds simultaneously, and both the Nintendo Switch 2 and PS5 versions are on sale for $30 ($20 off). Protagonists Zoe and Mio are both trapped in a machine, but one is transported to a land of futuristic cities, while the other finds themselves in a fantasy land full of magical kingdoms. The characters get new powers in each section, but two players need to work in tandem to navigate through their respective connected worlds. Coordination is key, whether you’re outwitting a boss in a section reminiscent of two-player pinball or playing little minigames that take place in the middle of its narrative. Read our review.
