The biggest savings on offer here are in the 70-80% range, and they're mostly indie games like Ape Out for $3.74, Automachef for $3, and Freedom Planet for $4.49. Ape Out is a top-down combat game in the vein of Hotline Miami, only with even more style and flair. Freedom Planet is a retro-style 2D platformer that started life as a Sonic the Hedgehog fangame.

There are also some big-name series on sale here, including the excellent Rayman Legends Definitive Edition for $10. Breath of the Wild fans might want to check out Immortals Fenyx Rising for $15. And the excellent Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series brings two of the best 2D platformers ever to modern consoles for $28.

However, there are also substantial reductions on 30% on first-party Nintendo games, including ARMS for $42, WarioWare: Get It Together! for $35, and Yoshi's Crafted World for $42. The best overall deal here is probably Metroid Dread for $42, as that kind of core Nintendo exclusive almost never goes on sale. The full list of games is below.
