Top 10 action-adventure games to grab at the Epic Games Store Holiday Sale of 2023
1) Prince of Persia (80% off at $1.99)
The 2008 soft-reboot of the Prince of Persia series was published by Ubisoft Montreal for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC. The game follows an unnamed protagonist as he embarks on a journey with the princess Elika, attempting to save the kingdom from ruin at the hands of Ahriman.
Despite a mixed reception from fans at launch, the game has aged rather gracefully thanks to its amazing cel-shaded art style and engaging combat loop, making it well worth the buy.
2) Prey (75% off at $9.99)
Prey is an action-adventure FPS developed by Arkane and released in 2017. Players take control of protagonist Morgan Yu as they explore the Talos I space station, battling against the invasive alien Typhon. Yu can make use of telekinesis and shape-shifting powers, in addition to a wide variety of makeshift weapons. Prey’s biggest draw is in its intriguing alternate reality setting.
The title is not to be confused with the 2006 game of the same name.
3) Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition (33% off at $53.59)
CD Projekt Red's newest title, Cyberpunk 2077 released initially in 2020 for both PC and consoles.
