1 Nex Playground

Nex Playground is the first true successor to the Nintendo Wii, a cute little console with a suite of built-in motion-control games. These run the gamut of genres and include a rhythm game, a soccer game, Whack-a-Mole, and a revamped version of Fruit Ninja. Polygon executive editor Matt Patches readily recommends it as a cure for rainy-day boredom: "As a full package, simulating the run-from-one-arcade-game-to-the-next, the Playground delivered a solid hour or two of fun at a time, without feeling like we were spending our entire day sinking into a couch cushion. We were moving, we were flailing, we were laughing our butts off." You can grab it for $239.99, down from the (recently hiked) price of $299.99.

Buy from Amazon ($239)

2 Elden Ring Nightreign

FromSoftware's unexpected Elden Ring multiplayer spinoff is down to $31.50 on PS5, and there's never been a better time to give it a try. You've got more bosses and ways to shake up your runs, not to mention two additional classes and the option to tackle a run with one other player instead of having to queue for trios. That makes cooperation much easier and removes one of the biggest hurdles to enjoyment many, including Polygon, had at launch.

Buy from Amazon ($31.50)

3 Resident Evil 4 remake

If you finished Resident Evil Requiem and need more Leon S. Kennedy, or you just want more Leon S. Kennedy (who doesn't?), good news: the PS5 version of Resident Evil 4 remake is on sale for $15.99. It's gorier and more action-packed than the original and makes formerly tedious areas like the castle feel fresh, but it still manages to keep the classic feel of the series' puzzles and inventory management intact.

Buy from Amazon ($15.99)

4 Resident Evil 7: Biohazard Gold Edition

resident evil 7 Capcom

The PS5 version of Resident Evil 7, Ethan Winters' first nightmare vacation, is also discounted to $15.99. Resident Evil 7 was Capcom's swing back to survival horror following a brief detour into increasingly action-oriented territory with Resident Evil 5 and Resident Evil 6, and it's a doozy. Winters must navigate the labyrinthine interior of an isolated mansion in remote Louisiana while avoiding the psychotic members of the family that live there, among other entities, all of whom seem unusually bent on killing him in imaginatively brutal ways. The gold edition includes Resident Evil 7's DLC expansion, which ties up the base game's story and has an episode starring the least Chris Redfield-looking version of Chris Redfield Capcom's ever made.

Buy from Amazon ($15.99)

5 Lost Records: Bloom and Rage

Lost Records, one of 2025's best adventure games, is going for $29.99 on PS5. You follow a group of friends as they relive the past and uncover the truth behind a terrible event that changed their lives forever, and it's bathed in '90s nostalgia that serves a purpose beyond just making you remember something. It's like an alternate vision of what games like Life Is Strange can be like, in a world where Life Is Strange usually fails to live up to expectations anymore.

Buy from Amazon ($29.99)

6 MLB The Show 26

This year's MLB The Show might have had some controversial changes to its online modes, like restricting how you can trade players, but there's a good reason it ended up being one of the best-selling games of the year so far. The baseball simulation is better than ever, and the series' signature Road to the Show mode even includes college and high school teams this year. You can grab MLB The Show 26 for $49.94.

Buy from Amazon ($49.94)

7 Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth

The second part of Square Enix's massively ambitious Final Fantasy 7 remake project is going for $38. It trades the confines of Midgard City for a sprawling open-world full of secrets and quests. Sometimes, it's a few too many quests, though Rebirth avoids feeling too bloated by tying every activity closely to the world Cloud and co. are just beginning to understand. It's a clever little subversion of open-world tropes, but more importantly, it's also a chance for Square Enix to really expand on every cast member's personality. Whatever bonkers plot twists the trilogy's final part might hold, Rebirth is a shining example of the series' best character writing.

Buy from Amazon ($38)

8 Disney Illusion Island

If you like the idea of classic Rayman-style side-scrolling platformers, but Disney, then Illusion Island is for you. It's an inspired little gem whose visual design, despite skewing more toward classic Disney designs, never strays into blatant nostalgia bait. And you can play it solo or with up to three other players. Disney Illusion Island's PS5 version is on sale for $27.00.

Buy from Amazon ($27)

9 Logitech G502 Hero wired gaming mouse

You'll typically find the Logitech G502 Hero on lists of the best gaming mice, and for good reason. It's affordable โ€” even more so now that it's discounted to $32.99 โ€” and ergonomic, for starters. And it comes with a suite of useful customization options and even different weights to tailor cursor speed and general feel as close to your needs as possible.

Buy from Amazon ($32.99)

10 Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake

Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake

Dragon Quest 3 is an all-time classic, and the HD-2D remake makes it more approachable than ever, expanding the story in welcome ways without detracting from what made the original so good. It's your standard "good guy beats evil villain" tale, but with a deceptively deep job system and Akira Toriyama's exceptional artwork. Square Enix's HD-2D rework breathes new life into familiar locations and designs, and even with modern quality-of-life features, Dragon Quest 3 will still kick you to the curb if you don't plan well. It rarely gets a steep discount, but during Amazon Gaming Week, you can grab it on PS5 and Switch for $29.99 and Xbox Series X for $23.99. If you're playing the Switch version on Switch 2, you can also download a free upgrade for the newer platform.

Buy from Amazon ($23.99+)
