Winter is the perfect excuse to bunker down with a few big games before spring rolls around, and January’s sales are making that easier than ever. Amazon is currently running some strong discounts across a range of titles, giving players a chance to expand their libraries for less.
One of the standout deals right now is Assassin’s Creed Shadows on PS5, which has dropped back to its lowest price to date at $34.99 — a hefty 50% off its usual $69.99 price tag. This Amazon-exclusive edition also includes the Sekiryu Character Pack, featuring a gear and weapon set for Naoe, the Sekiryu Beast, and a Dragon Tooth trinket, all bundled with the base game.
It’s a deal worth paying attention to. In our review, Assassin’s Creed Shadows earned an 8/10, praised for refining the series rather than reinventing it entirely. Combat is more aggressive and deliberate than previous entries, with a stronger focus on parrying and skill management. Exploration is also more rewarding thanks to a redesigned map that moves away from icon-chasing and checklist fatigue, encouraging players to properly take in its stunning Sengoku-period Japan setting.
The dual protagonists, Naoe and Yasuke, stand out as well-realised and memorable characters, even if the story they lead follows some familiar paths.
If Assassin’s Creed Shadows has been on your radar, now’s a great time to jump in while the price is still low. Amazon is also offering discounts on titles like Astro Bot and Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, while Battlefield 6 is currently reduced at Walmart for those shopping elsewhere.
