Serving as a remaster of the original Diablo II from 2000, Resurrection includes enhanced visuals, quality of life improvements, and the Lords of Destruction expansion — all in one package.

This Dynasty Warriors-inspired hack ‘n slash game takes place in the Persona 5 universe, following Joker and his gang as they investigate strange happenings in Tokyo.

6. Disco Elysium — The Final Cut ($20)

With a gorgeous, painterly art-style, clever writing, and satisfying choice-driven mechanics, Disco Elysium is easily one of the best RPGs ever made.

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment

5. LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga ($42)

Bringing together all nine mainline Star Wars films, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is a treat. This is easily the best way to experience the Star Wars series in LEGO format.

Bethesda Softworks

4. DOOM Eternal Deluxe Edition ($30)

Although the Switch isn’t the best platform for DOOM Eternal, it still runs surprisingly well on Nintendo’s hybrid system. Blast your way through demons on the go or at home in the Nintendo Switch Deluxe Edition, which includes all DLC.

Capcom

3. Monster Hunter Rise + Sunbreak ($50)

Full-stop, Monster Hunter Rise is a fantastic addition to the series thanks to its deep progression systems and rewarding gameplay loop. This particular version includes the Sunbreak DLC, adding even more monsters to ... hunt.

Bethesda Softworks

2. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim ($30)

What more can be said about Skyrim? It’s a classic RPG — a game that’s always fun to go back to, even after several replays. Will you finally start a new game with a different build this time? Probably not, but it’s still a blast either way!

Supergiant Games

1. Hades ($15)

Hades is a remarkable action-roguelike — offering challenging gameplay, beautiful art, and a story that will surely sink its hooks into you. Plus, its entire cast is hot, so it has that going for it.
