Team Deku has been busy this year – our lovely Patreon supporters get monthly development updates! – but no month is busier for us than November... for obvious reasons. That said, we're never too busy to snag a few Black Friday deals for ourselves.
Here are our top Black Friday (and Cyber Monday) picks:
Andrew's Picks
I'm going for a space-themed thing here. Bear with me, please.
Switch 2 needs more storage SPACE
WHY: Nintendo shipped the Switch 2 with a modest 256GB of storage which might be fine for some, but with the number of Game-Key Card releases we're already seeing, I definitely need the extra space.
WHERE: Amazon (currently sold out at Samsung)
Star Wars is in SPACE and also on Switch 2
WHY: Star Wars Outlaws Gold Edition is only $30 on Switch 2 (which is already nearly half the MSRP of other platforms) and is hands-down the most impressive game I've played on a handheld. The rather formulaic game design might turn some off, but I'm a huge Star Wars fan so it hasn't bothered me yet.
WHERE: Amazon and Walmart have price matched each other.
Do you have SPACE for basically any TV from LG?
WHY: I'm a big fan of LG's C-series and G-series OLED televisions. Great picture quality at an affordable price. I use a 42-inch LG C3 as my daily driver on my desk (yes, seriously) and an older-but-still-stellar 65-inch LG C1 as my main TV. No real complaints.
WHERE: Best to pick one up from Amazon, Best Buy, or directly from LG.
Michael's Picks
Bundles
I'm really proud of the PC bundles feature we added to the site recently, largely because bundles are often the best value in gaming. I want to highlight the new 2K Collection: Blockbusters & Beyond, which is fantastic deal on a diverse set of highly rated games. (I just picked it up myself.)
Bose Ultra Open Earbuds
Traditional in-ear earbuds irritate my skin, so I've switched to open-ear earbuds that are more like little speakers that sit just outside of the ear. I wear this Bose every day, and they're incredibly comfortable and sound great.
There's currently an amazing deal on a refurbished set at Woot, or you can buy them new on sale at all the usual places: Amazon | Best Buy | Walmart | Target
Mario + Rabbids Dual Pack
I'm still in awe that the Mario + Rabbids games got made, and they're great fun if you have any interest in Mario or tactics. They're also infamous for being frequently and heavily discounted, but the current Black Friday deal on the Amazon exclusive dual pack is an especially nice price for 2 "Mario" games.
Scott's Picks
I don't know about you but I'm overdue for an escape from this reality. Here are a few stylish games to lose yourself in without losing your wallet.
TUNIC - lil' fox, grand adventure
WHY: Come for the cozy, just-so design and adventures, stay for the surprisingly rich world full of secrets. This game just dropped to a new all-time low price for PlayStation and I'd be surprised if the other platforms didn't follow suit over the next few weeks.
WHERE: PlayStation Store or wishlist on Deku to get alerted for the next sale on your platforms.
CHANTS OF SENNAAR - mysteries in plain sight
WHY: A wonderful puzzle game masquerading as an open-worldish adventure, Chants of Sennaar is a delightful and audacious design about helping people overcome the challengers of language. Right now it's $10 on Xbox and $12 on PC - these are fantastic deals for a game unlike anything else.
WHERE: Microsoft Store for Xbox, Humble for PC (Steam)
DREDGE - Cozy fishing & cosmic horror
WHY: A delightful seafaring adventure where you'll find far more than just fish beneath the surface. The Deluxe Edition is at or near some all-time low prices ($10.79 on PlayStation, $11.87 on PC) and includes fun DLC that you'll want from the start of your game.
WHERE: Playstation Store for PS, Fanatical for PC (Steam)
