As November comes to an end this week and December rolls in, there are some big games touching down to mark the conclusion of the month, and of course, that means we need to help your wallet out wherever we can; so we’ve rounded up some great deals happening this week that you should\u00a0keep an eye out for.<\/p>\n

Ratchet & Clank – R468\u00a0(Raru<\/a>)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Ratchet & Clank make their PS4 debut with a rebooted iteration of the beloved galactic adventurers, and while it also ties into the recent animated feature film, it avoids the trope of becoming a terrible licensed adaptation. The platforming is fun and fresh, the weapons are as bizarre and satisfying as you would expect from an Insomniac game, and it\u2019s one of the best-looking games on the PS4.<\/p>\n

Ratchet & Clank\u00a0is a triumphant return for the duo and a must-play for anyone familiar with the franchise or looking for something with a little colour, humour, and some impeccably tight\u00a0gameplay mechanics.<\/p>\n

Recore – R349\u00a0(BT Games<\/a>)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

While it has a few shortcomings,\u00a0ReCore is one of the most interesting games to come out this year. Designed by one the\u00a0creators behind Mega Man and\u00a0Metroid Prime, ReCore is a third-person action adventure, which\u00a0stars Joule\u00a0\u2014 one of the last surviving humans \u2014 who\u2019s fighting her way through a destroyed desert world, working with a series of quirky mechanical pets to help her fight robotic\u00a0villains.<\/p>\n

It’s got interesting combat, platforming, and puzzle elements, which wrap up tightly into a fun and rather beautiful campaign.<\/p>\n

Gears of War 4 – R499 (Loot<\/a>)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Gears of War franchise returns with new characters, new enemies, a new mission, and a new developer on board, and manages to remind us exactly what made Gears so damn likeable in the first place. It doesn\u2019t diverge too far away from the cover-shooter formula that made the original trilogy a hit, but does introduce new gameplay twists thanks to some great environmental changes and snazzy guns that mix up the chainsawing carnage.<\/p>\n

Gears 4 is also spectacular to look at, and is a shining flagship for the Xbox One at this point. This is as high-quality as a triple-A release comes, and it\u2019s expansive multiplayer and Horde 3.0 modes give the Gearsseries legs that will outlast until the next outing.<\/p>\n

Destiny – R149.90 (BT Games)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Even with its stumbles, the initial release of Destiny was\u00a0a colossal achievement in interactive design, integrating a number of differing genre elements into a smart and unified game.\u00a0Story-based campaigning, co-op comradeship, or adversarial annihilation – Destiny delivers on all fronts.<\/p>\n
