Action-Adventure Games
Between dynamic open world adventure games and character-driven experiences with unique mechanics, this holiday season will see the release of the likes of Dishonored 2, Watch Dogs 2, Mafia III, Dead Rising 4, The Last Guardian, and Paper Mario: Color Splash. All three of these releases will cost $60, as well as Dead Rising 4 for the Xbox One and Windows 10. Finally, barring any last-minute delays, The Last Guardian will see a full retail release in October, meaning another $60. Paper Mario: Color Splash for the Wii U is $60, and that brings the grand total to $360 for all major action-adventure games.
Oh, and of course there are bigger and better editions to be tempted by, too. Mafia III’s Deluxe Edition includes the base game and the season pass for $80. Watch Dogs 2’s Gold Edition comes with the season pass as well, for $100, and the Deluxe Edition is $80, which features additional content, just not the season pass. The Last Guardian also has a pretty cool Collector’s Edition, which includes an art book and a Trico statue among other things, for $120.
Dishonored 2 can be preordered now, and with it, you’ll receive a digital code for Dishonored: Definitive Edition. There’s also the collector’s edition for Dishonored 2, and with it includes replicas of Emily Kaldwin’s ring and Corvo’s mask, a metal case with the faces of Kaldwin and Corvo, as well as the Digital Imperial Assassin’s Pack that contains currency and weapons which can be redeemed in game. Bethesda’s store has it listed for $100. All told, purchasing these five premium editions, as well as Dead Rising 4 and Paper Mario: Color Splash (both of which do not have premium editions at the time of writing) will cost players around $520.
