The very idea of Black Friday sits wrong with me. But whatever, we all enjoy a good sale and, whilst many Black Friday deals have proven to be false over the years, I managed to get a couple of good ones here in Amsterdam.
Dishonored 2 tops the list. €35 on PS4. I've played the intro mission and so far it seems to be very much in the vein of the first. I've selected to play as Corvo for my first run, saving Emily and her different abilities for when I'm more familiar with the levels.
I also picked up Deus Ex Mankind Divided for €20. I haven't played it yet, but if it's anything like Human Revolution I'm looking forward to sinking some hours into it.
Digital downloads are not something I tend towards, except for smaller indie games that aren't available on disc. However I made two exceptions this weekend with PSN sales.
The first was Thief. I remember the first game, some 20 years ago, being quite impressive in its stealthy depth. Sadly this one has fallen into the rut of linear boredom. The characters are flat too. I'll give it some more time, but I'm not excited by it. €5.99 is the only reason I got it, but now I wish I'd bought a burger instead.
Also €5.99 was the full season of Life Is Strange. An adventure title akin to The Walking Dead or any other from Telltale Games, it begins with an interesting premise. Again I'm not far into it so can't comment in depth, but I look forward to playing through it in full.
Offers I noticed but didn't make the most of include a 1TB PS4 with two controllers for €280, Skyrim for €35, and Rise of the Tomb Raider for €30. Great prices, if I didn't already have them!
What about you? What bargains did you pick up for Black Friday 2016? Perhaps you spent some money on Steam's Autumn Sale, or cleared out your local retro gaming shop. Let me know in the comments!
