Pair all of that with one of the best soundtracks of the year, incredible performances from top to bottom, and drop dead gorgeous visuals, and you’ve got a game worthy of an orchestral Final Fantasy victory fanfare.”As stated earlier, Black Friday and Cyber Monday are coming up very soon, and that means even more game deals to check out.

Each week leading up to the event will slowly roll out more deals, which ultimately leads to Black Friday.
