Microsoft has slashed prices on nearly 1,000 games in its annual Black Friday Xbox sale, which offers discounts on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC games. Here’s what the TA News team thinks is great.
Black Friday sales on the Xbox Store are back in 2022, offering nearly 1,000 off Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and Windows PC games. Each week, we’ve braved the depths of our sales to reveal a selection of games we think are worthy of your collection. Find out what kind of games you enjoy.
This week we invite you on a very important mission. A mission to sail to distant shores, or even planets, with the blessing of the god of thunder, ripping apart enemies with blades to the sound of an energizing beat, and betting everything in battle. If we fail, we will see it return to where we started, destined to try again. This adventure depends on the balance of a deck of cards.
A bargain from the latest Xbox sales
Heidi — Assassin’s Creed Valhalla
Well, this seems like a pretty good time to pick up Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. Regardless, Ubisoft isn’t ready to share Eivor yet and has confirmed that Assassin’s Creed Valhalla won’t be coming to Xbox Game Pass. It’s not clear when the game will next go on sale, or at such a discount, as it’s set to end. If you do, you’ll be able to dodge quite a few of the game’s worst bugs and embark on a Viking adventure with confidence. Habitats feature does a good job of centering Eivor rather than hanging it around an almost endless map and providing a hub to return to. There’s a lot that Eivor needs to turn his attention to on behalf of the burrowing and fast-growing Ravensthorpe settlement. This is another Assassin’s Creed game where stealth isn’t really needed, so if you missed it with Odyssey, you might be better off waiting for Assassin’s Creed Mirage, which goes back to basics. , or if you’re into Viking lore, or if you’re looking forward to another open-world RPG with Assassin’s Creed’s foray into feudal Japan, we recommend buying Valhalla while it’s on sale. . The sheer amount of content available in Valhalla may even plague you until it’s time to head to feudal Japan.

Luke — Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
With a sale as big as this, there were plenty of other items to choose from, but in the end it has to be this way. Everyone A must experience for Platinum’s top rated hack and slash game — Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is one of the studio’s best. All-out action. Mastering the simple yet satisfying parry system makes it easy to dodge blows and respond with an arsenal of crazy weapons and moves that shred enemies. Activate blade mode to slice and dice in slow motion. It actually turns those chumps into chunks.
At the heart of this wild ride is a series of sensational boss fights, elaborate multi-phased duels with an amazing gallery of rogues, so no two battles are the same. Turn those volumes up and let the premier soundtracks fuel your soul, each track perfectly reflecting and emphasizing the escalation of battle, with a thumping crescendo that sends hype levels skyrocketing off the charts. Also, the 2 story DLC packs Blade Wolf and Jetstream are now free. Both have achievements, but you’ll also need to get the VR Mission DLC to fully complete 1,310G. Revengeance is an all-time great, and far more valuable than its current asking price of a few bucks for the memes and music alone.
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
METAL GEAR RISING: REVENGEANCE takes the renowned METAL GEAR franchise into exciting new territory with a focus on delivering an all-new action experience never seen before.
Sean — LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga
If you want something that will keep you hooked for hours, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is for you. The Skywalker Saga lets you play all nine of his Star Wars movies, featuring over 300 of his playable characters from the franchise in blocky Lego form. I’ve played the first six of his movies (and part of the Disney trilogy) for about 40 hours and am enjoying every second. From dueling Darth Maul as Qui-Gon Jinn to blasting his TIE fighter in space as Luke Skywalker with his X-Wing, there’s plenty of great LEGO Star Wars stuff to do here. I have. Sure, the gameplay is easy, but being able to explore some of Star Wars’ most iconic locations, masterfully recreated with incredible attention to detail by developer TT Games, is a real treat. . The real fun comes after completing levels with the characters used in the movie. Once a level is completed, it can be replayed with over 300 of his unlocked Star Wars characters, accessing hidden areas to find collectibles and other secrets. Alongside Jedi: Fallen Order, Skywalker Saga is one of the best Star Wars games of recent times, and at just $29.99/£24.99/€29.99, it’s the lowest price ever in gaming and a pretty good bargain In terms of achievements, it takes 80 to 100 hours to complete the Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga achievements list.
LEGO® Star Wars™: The Skywalker Saga

Tom — Roguebook
Before 2022, you wouldn’t have seen me playing a roguelike or roguelite game. All my new thinking is thanks to this card-collecting treat, Roguebook. Its basic premise is simple: choose two heroes to adventure with, build a deck with randomly generated cards unique to each hero, and destroy the three bosses that block his way so that he has three acts. Clear all. Bosch, come and go, work is good.Of course it’s not perfect that Between you and each boss is an area filled with random enemy encounters, mini-bosses, unfortunate card pick-ups, unfortunate card draws, and death, so it’s simple. i will be back.
For me, the most engaging part of gameplay is the cards. all Gameplay’s, but nonetheless, it’s engaging. That’s because Roguebook was designed by Magic the Gathering creator Richard Garfield. The card system is very easy to learn, and some deck combinations can lead to a very satisfying experience, so this game considers to be a step into the world of roguelikes. A perfect entry point for everyone. It’s now 40% off his price. This is a great deal for this highly engaging yet challenging game. If you’re interested, check out his Roguebook impressions from earlier this year for a more detailed explanation of how the game works…
