Amazon\u2019s annual Gaming Week sale is live, running from April 27 to May 4, and it\u2019s a bit of a mixed bag this year. There\u2019s no obvious headline-grabber doing the heavy lifting, but dig around enough and you can find a handful of deals that are genuinely worth your time.<\/p>\n

Square Enix is doing a lot of legwork in the sale, with plenty of big highlights that can be rattled off fairly easily. Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined has dropped to just $49.99, alongside FF7 Rebirth for $29.99 on PS5, and even Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake for just $29.99. JRPG fans are sure eating well right now.<\/p>\n

Capcom\u2019s Resident Evil lineup is the other clear highlight, with several now just $15.99 in the sale. That includes my personal favorite, Resident Evil 4, which is probably one of the best remakes the industry has ever produced. I even prefer it over the original, and that’s saying something! <\/p>\n

Resident Evil 2 and 3 are matching that price, and the Gold Edition of Resident Evil 7 is also in the mix.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Hitman: World of Assassination at $19.99 is arguably the smartest purchase in the entire sale. There\u2019s a huge amount of content, but it\u2019s tightly designed, replayable, and consistently high quality. <\/p>\n

It also doubles as a useful primer for IO Interactive\u2019s approach ahead of 007: First Light, which is right around the corner (releasing May 27).<\/p>\n

There are a few smaller wins too. Nintendo eShop gift cards are discounted by 10%, which isn\u2019t exciting, but it\u2019s effectively free money if you\u2019re already planning to buy digitally. <\/p>\n

And on the hardware side, Nintendo is knocking $20 off when you bundle a Switch 2 with Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2, though that sits under a separate promotion ending May 9. I’d still recommend picking this up if you’re yet to bag a Switch 2, as I’m fairly sure it’ll be following the PS5 with price hikes at some stage in the near future.<\/p>\n

Overall, if you’re looking to play some incredible RPGs or survival horror games, there\u2019s enough here to make Amazon’s Gaming Week worth a look. If not, maybe you’d be better off waiting until Prime Day this summer.<\/p>\n
