The Epic Games Store is celebrating in the American Black Friday sales tradition this week by slashing prices on their storefront until Dec. 2 with discounts up to 75% off. There are a bunch of games on sale but here are the best ones that you should totally buy.
Red Dead Redemption 2
Original Price: $59.99
Sale Price: $47.99
Red Dead Redemption is a gorgeous and massive open-world action-adventure title from Rockstar themselves that is brimming with content and delivers a slow, but deep narrative that will keep you locked in for hours on end.
The critically acclaimed sequel has finally released on PC not too long ago and there are already a bunch of mods out in the wild that are worth checking out to enhance the gameplay experience. It was our Game of the Year for 2018, so yeah we’re big fans here.
If you’re on the lookout for a good ol’ fashioned western with cowboys, horses, and all, Red Dead Redemption 2 is the best way to go.
The Division 2
Original Price: $59.99
Sale Price: $14.99
The Division 2 expands upon what the original open-world shooter successfully managed to do in terms of creating a version of Washington D.C. that’s immersive and full of life.
The third-person shooting and cover mechanics work pretty well this time around and completing the story mode missions with friends can be extremely fun and satisfying, especially since the filler that plagued the first game is absent in this sequel.
For the price of $14.99 on the Epic Games Store Black Friday sale, it’s hard not to recommend this shooter to anyone who is slightly interested.
Borderlands 3
Original Price: $59.99
Sale Price: $40
Borderlands 3 is essentially just more Borderlands but that’s not entirely a bad thing, is it? Borderlands 3 is still one of the best looter shooters out there that has pretty funny dialogue, zany characters, and guns… lots and lots of guns.
It’s such a fun game to just chill out and podcast to or hang out and talk to your friends online. You can just zone out and do some sidequests to upgrade and level up your character without having to focus too much on the story or cutscenes.
At a price of $40, this is one of the best sales on The Epic Games Store right now.
The Outer Worlds
Original Price: $59.99
Sale Price: $44.99
The Outer Worlds is Obsidian’s newest open-world RPG and it draws from past RPGs like Fallout: New Vegas and Fallout 3. The world and planets are extremely interesting and fun to explore, the narrative is engrossing, and the side characters, like the companions, are so well done.
You can play the game however you want too, with plenty of sidequests to complete and skills to learn/master, and narrative decisions to make.
Considering that it just recently released, this price cut on the Epic Games Store is great to see.
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey
Original Price: $59.99
Sale Price: $26.99
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is one of the best AC games in the past 10 years or so and has fully embraced the RPG formula that Ubisoft played around with in AC Origins the year prior.
The two main characters, Alexios and Kassandra, are delightfully charming, especially the latter, the sidequests are highly enjoyable and exploring Ancient Greece is such a treat.
There’s also tons of replayability here because of the branching narratives and the ability to romance several characters around the map. There’s just so much content here that it’s hard to not talk about it whenever it’s on sale… because it’s on sale like all of the time.
And there you have it, folks! Those are the best games to buy during the Epic Games Store Black Friday sale! Remember to check out the sale soon because it ends soon on Dec. 2.
