Microsoft has just launched a massive sale on their Xbox store for subscription members. Deals With Gold is one of the most constant platforms for sales on the console market, with this week's version being particularly noteworthy.
There is a handful of Xbox 360 titles included, but this article will focus primarily on Xbox One games. What are the standout names available for a discounted price in this sale?
'The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt'
Considered by many as one of the best RPGs of all time, "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt" is a must buy for anyone who enjoys story-driven games.
The combat is not necessarily great, but the sprawling open-world and fantastic side-quests are more than worthy of spending $60 to pick this one up.
The "Complete Edition" is on sale for just $20. This includes all the expansions - which are brilliant - offering around 100 hours of gameplay. Honestly, if this is something you are considering buying, this is about as good as it gets.
"The Witcher 3" is not the only exciting game included for this sale, with "XCOM 2" being reduced to just $24. This strategic RPG is not for everyone, but it is one of the best experiences in its genre. It might be best to check out a few gameplay videos, just to see if this is something you would enjoy.
"Battlefield 1 Revolution" is available for $30, which includes the base game and premium pass.
Otherwords, it is the full "Battlefield 1" experience. While this is a great price for the FPS, EA recently added the basic version to Origin Access, so it might be better to just pick up a yearly pass for around the same price.
'Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands'
Multiple versions of the multiplayer shooter are on sale, with the standard edition priced at $30.
"Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands - Deluxe Edition" is available for $5 more, which adds a few exclusive weapons and items to the mix.
If you are a completionist, the "Gold Edition" is also on sale for $50. This includes the base game and the season pass, granting access to any major expansions released for the tactical online shooter.
"Wildlands" sits at a Metacritic aggregate score of 76, receiving largely okay reviews from critics. The Xbox One version fared better than the PC or PlayStation 4 editions, which sit at 69 and 70 respectively. While primarily marketed as a multiplayer game, it is possible to play through the missions on solo. The AI is not terrible, so there is still a decent time to be had. It is better with friends though.
