Each year during Amazon Prime Day, I like to browse for some of the best gaming deals. It’s a good opportunity to pick up some recent games at cheaper-than-usual prices and catch up on some releases from the first half of the year. While I already own the game in question, I spotted one deal during my search that I don’t think any RPG fans should pass up. The PlayStation 4 and PS5 versions of Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio and Sega’s Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is on sale for just $35.

Typically priced at $70, this is a 50% discount on my favorite RPG of 2024, a game I like even more than Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and Dragon’s Dogma 2. While it might seem a bit daunting to get into the latest entry in a long-running, soap-operatic gaming franchise, Infinite Wealth is one of the most entertaining games of the year and worth picking up at just $35 if you haven’t played it already.

Infinite Wealth serves as the culmination of one of Sega’s best franchises. This series, which was formerly known as Yakuza, follows the criminal underworld of a fictional Japan. Most of the games followed Kazuma Kiryu, an honorable leader with a heart of gold, while 2020’s Yakuza: Like a Dragon followed Ichiban Kazuga, a somewhat naive, but trustworthy and well-meaning former Yakuza. In Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, Ichiban and Kiryu must team up in order to find Ichiban’s mother, who is on the run and being pursued by several different criminal organizations. With Kiryu also struggling to fight cancer, it’s an emotional journey and climax for the Like a Dragon series as a whole.

From a gameplay perspective, players can walk around immaculately designed locales and fight in turn-based battles. Places like Kamurocho and Injincho return from previous Like a Dragon games, while Infinite Wealth also introduces Honolulu and gives the series an American flair not seen before. Its turn-based battles might seem a bit intimidating at first, but they are quite fun once you learn that it’s all about the positioning of characters and taking advantage of the elemental weaknesses of the enemies you fight. Plus, there generally just aren’t that many RPGs with a “realistic” setting like this.

On top of all that, Infinite Wealth is packed to the brim with side activities, some of which offer up gameplay similar to Nintendo franchises like Pokémon and Animal Crossing. It’s one of the most content-filled and quality single-player gaming experiences that’s been released this year, and you can sink dozens of hours into it. As such, it’s worth picking up on sale this Prime Day.

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is discounted to $35 on PS4, PS5, and Xbox Series X through Amazon. It’s also available on PC.

One of my favorite 2023 hidden gem video games is on sale for Prime Day
Robocop getting out of a car.

Licensed games tend to have a bad reputation unless they are large-scale AAA games like Marvel's Spider-Man 2 or Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. But when a developer who is very passionate about a franchise gets their hands on a beloved franchise and adapts it into video game form faithfully, the results can be surprisingly good. One of the latest examples of this is RoboCop: Rogue City from Teyon and Nacon.

Released in November 2023, the PlayStation 5 version of  is being discounted by 18% to $49 during Amazon Prime Day 2024. If you're a fan of the classic RoboCop films from the 1980s, but haven't given this game a shot, you have more reason to do do than ever. While it's not the best first-person shooter game out there, it's unabashedly in love with RoboCop and oozes reverence for the franchise in everything it does.

My favorite Switch accessory is on sale for Prime Day
HyperX Chargeplay Quad charger.

The Nintendo Switch is one of my favorite consoles for multiplayer gaming. With so many great multiplayer Switch games, there's something for everyone no matter their gaming skills. If your more adept gaming buddies are over, you can start up a serious Super Smash Bros. Ultimate tournament or have some intense Splatoon 3 matches. And if you've got some more casual gamers or absolute noobs in the mix, you can jump into more straightforward fun like Super Mario Party or Mario Kart 8 where everyone can have a little fun.

But whatever Switch game you're turning into an event, the most important thing is having enough controllers for everyone -- and making sure those controllers are charged.

You can snag a rare discount on one of Nintendo’s best strategy games this week
A red Pikmin looks around in Pikmin 4.

Pikmin might be one of the most underrated Nintendo series because the note it tries to hit is so specific. Its charming visual style and cute alien antics need to excite casual Switch players while not turning off strategy game experts, while the actual puzzles in the game need to be challenging enough for advanced players, but solvable for players who just want to pluck little colorful dudes out of the ground and ride an alien dog. It's quite the balancing act and Pikmin 4 absolutely nails it.

If you haven't jumped into the world of Pikmin before, Pikmin 4 is one of the series' strongest entries — it captures the charm of the previous installments while rebalancing the game's sometimes frustrating control scheme and rewriting the story a bit to make it easier to follow for new players. Straight-from-Nintendo titles rarely get solid discounts, and it's not uncommon for them to remain at launch-day prices for years, so it's an absolute joy to see right now.
