Rise of the Rōnin – $30
Rise of the Rōnin didn’t quite get the look it deserved this year, but Team Ninja’s open-world action-RPG is a good, meaty game for anyone who enjoys exploring cool words and tense, parry-based sword combat. It’s perfect game for someone who only buys one or two games a year and wants something that will keep them busy well into the spring. For all of its flaws, it’s an absolute steal at just $30, which is what you can pick up the physical version for at Walmart and other places.
