No need to dig through digital shelves this week; some sick deals have landed across all major platforms, with prices low enough to make your backlog quake in fear. Whether you're into lightsabers, loot, or just causing utter chaos as a goat, there’s something here to tempt all types of bargain hunters.
This Day in Gaming 
In retro news, I'm celebrating S.W.A.T. 4's 20th birthday. My lasting memories of this Irrational Games shooter are of no checkpoints, having to abide by strict "baddies have to draw first" rules, and the randomisation of hostages and enemies (skill, numbers, arsenal, and morale). The spiritual successor to this, Ready or Not, is well worth targeting.

Nice Savings for Nintendo Switch
Over on the Nintendo Switch, Mortal Kombat 1 slices a whopping 60% off, down to just A$24. It’s the first in the series where Jean-Claude Van Damme actually voices Johnny Cage (only 30 years after they originally based the character on him). Meanwhile, Goat Simulator 3 is charging in at A$35, and yes, there was no Goat Simulator 2. Just one of many jokes baked into this gloriously chaotic goat-fest.
