Spirit Island |$89.99$44.99 at AmazonSave $45 -Few board games have a better reputation for co-op than this one, and it’s currently a single dollar away for its lowest ever price.

PSVR 2 Horizon Call of the Mountain Bundle|$599.99$349 at AmazonSave $250- I’m not sure I’ve ever seen this bundle with the (excellent) Horizon spin-off game get a discount, so the fact that it’s dipped by more than $200 is impressive. It’s actually cheaper than the Meta Quest 3, not to mention the 256GB version of the Quest 3S. Considering how much more powerful and versatile it is, I’d call that one hell of a bargain. As mentioned in ourPSVR 2 review, it has “features that even the best VR headsets on the market struggle to pack in.“Buy it if:✅ You want a powerful headset✅ You play on PS5 and PC✅ You aren’t fussed about mixed-realityDon’t buy it if:❌ You want a standalone devicePrice check:💲 Best Buy | $349💲 Walmart | $349⭐UK price:£529£339 at Very

Lego Super Mario Piranha Plant |$59.99$47.95 at AmazonSave $12 -I’ve never seen this bricky version of Super Mario’s longtime foe for less than it is now, which makes it one of the betterBlack Friday Lego dealsif you ask me.

SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro headset |$349.99£279.99 at AmazonSave $70 -Although it’s not a record low price (that’s thanks to a weird $249.99 one-off that’s not been seen again in over a year), this discount on the truly excellent Nova Pro is worth pouncing on. It’s the cheapest we normally see for the device, and because it’s so good, I wouldn’t wait around. As we said in ourSteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro review, it’s the “gold standard for wireless headsets.“Buy it if:✅ You play multiple consoles✅ You don’t mind charging it up✅ You have space for the Base StationDon’t buy it if:❌ Multi-platform gaming isn’t for youPrice check:💲 Walmart | $279.99💲 Best Buy | $299.99⭐ UK price:£329.99£244.99 at Amazon

Underworlds: Embergard |$100$85 at AmazonSave $15 -This isn’t listed as a deal, but it definitely is… and it’s one you should take note of. Want to get into wargaming, but feel intimidated by having to paint a whole army (to say nothing of all those rules)? Underworlds is a great entry point, and the latest box set is currently available for its lowest ever price. I’d say it’s one of the betterBlack Friday Warhammer dealsbecause it’s a brand new kit that introduces the game’s latest edition.Buy it if:✅You’re new to Underworlds✅ You like Stormcast or Skaven✅ You want to get into wargamingDon’t buy it if:❌You can’t fit a new game into your schedulePrice check:💲Miniature Market | $85💲Warhammer | $100⭐UK price:£67.50£53.99 at Magic Madhouse

Lenovo Legion Go (512GB) |$699.99$499.99 at AmazonSave $200 -It’s been a busy couple of years for handheld gaming PCs, and countless brands have come out of the woodwork to compete with the Steam Deck. Few can match this one for its beefy specs, and now that it’s just under $500 (a record low price, as it happens), it’s an easy recommendation. OurLenovo Legion Go reviewcalled out how “technically impressive” it is, after all.Buy it if:✅ You’d like a QHD screen✅ You want more than 120Hz✅ You’re looking for a Windows 11 deviceDon’t buy it if:❌ You want something smallerPrice check:💲 Lenovo | $579.99💲 Best Buy | $499.99⭐ UK price:£700£479.99 at Argos

Paldea Adventure Chest |$49.55$22.49 at AmazonSave $27 -AThe new Pokemon TCG Pocket app has lit a fire under us here at GamesRadar+ for its oh-so-moreish gameplay, and that’s pushed me toward the paper version for the first time in years.

Anbernic RG Cube |$206.99$173.79 at AmazonSave $33.20 -NThis is a left-field suggestion, I know, but hear me out. If you’re a fan of the DS and have fond memories playing that system, you need this in your life because it allows you to play those games on two screens as intended. It’s a lot cheaper than normal as part of the Black Friday sale, and it comes highly recommended. We said that we’d “completely fallen for this weird little handheld” in ourAnbernic RG Cube review, for instance.Buy it if:✅ You wanna play DS games✅ You prefer square screens✅ You want premium controlsDon’t buy it if:❌ You’d rather use ordinary aspect ratioPrice check:💲 Geekbuying | $183.74💲 Walmart | OOS⭐ UK price:£177.36£140.49 at Geekbuying
