Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate | $27
Capcom is just launched the much-anticipated Monster Hunter Rise on Switch to strong reviews, but if you haven’t experienced the series and don’t want to jump in at a full $60, here’s an option. Right now, the earlier Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate is only $27 at Amazon. It provides a meaty adventure full of beast-slaying combat, complete with online and local co-op play.
Immortals Fenyx Rising | $28
Just released in December, Ubisoft’s Immortals Fenyx Rising is an open-world adventure inspired by Greek mythology as much as it is Nintendo’s Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. It hails from the developers of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, but is tighter in focus, cartoonish in style, and pretty funny to boot. It’s more than half off at Amazon.
Ring Fit Adventure | $70
Nintendo’s Ring Fit Adventure was damn near impossible to find during the first few months of the pandemic, but now Amazon has it in stock for $10 off. Ring Fit Adventure is a fitness-centric role-playing adventure that finds you slotting one Joy-Con controller into the included ring peripheral and attaching the other to your leg, using motion controls to challenge you while providing a surprisingly serious workout.
