Players will constantly be engaging in fast-paced combat and customizing their mechs with new parts to optimize performance on the battlefields of Rubicon. It’s consistently enjoyable, though it may not be as groundbreaking or unforgettable as some of FromSoftware’s more recent hits.

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey (PS4)

$8.99/£8.24 (-85%)

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey feels more like a sprawling open-world role-playing game than a typical Assassin’s Creed game.
