These next few months of winter are a great time to settle in with big games until spring arrives. Recently, Amazon’s been offering some great discounts on a variety of options to help you stock up your library this January for a little less than usual. Among some of the games on sale right now is Assassin’s Creed Shadows for PS5 (see it here at Amazon), which has dropped back to its lowest price so far of $34.99 at the retailer.

This makes for a huge 50% discount from its usual list price of $69.99, which is an excellent offer to make a move on. This limited edition Amazon Exclusive copy also comes with the Sekiryu Character Pack, which gets you a gear and weapon set for Naoe, the Sekiryu Beast, and a Dragon Tooth trinket alongside the base game.
We think it’s a game well worth picking up, too. Our review gave it an 8/10 score, with writer Jarrett Green saying it, “takes a flashing blade to the series’ established norms, trimming them to a more precise form in lieu of chopping them down outright.”
The review continues on to say that, “Combat is aggressive and requires more intentional parrying and skill management than in the past, and exploring the gorgeous provinces of Sengoku-period Japan is encouraged thanks to the revamped map that deemphasizes collecting icons and checking off lists.” Not to mention, “Naoe and Yasuke are well-realized and memorable protagonists, even though most of the story they drive follows pretty predictable paths.”
If it’s been on your radar, now is a great time to grab it while Amazon still has it on sale. Looking for even more options that are discounted right now? Amazon’s also offering deals on Astro Bot and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. And outside of Amazon, you can save on Battlefield 6 right now at Walmart, too.
