Amnesia Rebirth

Available for £9.51 (60% off)

The protagonist of the game, Wilson, has no real special abilities, but you will come across characters that do, like Willow, who can start fires, or Wendy, who gets visited by her dead twin sister when summoned.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

Available for £4.99 (80% off)

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt was arguably the best game of 2019, being the RPG that all other RPG’s will be judged on from now on. While not being Halloween themed, this is still a great game to snatch up while it’s cheap.

You’ll be playing as Geralt here, as he makes his way around the immersive world. There is a great balance between narrative-led gameplay and the quests you can find by exploring, with plenty of boss battles to work towards.

The strong voicework and music bring the game together, with visuals that bring the whole world to life. For anyone looking for another big game to play through, the Witcher 3 is one of the best choices out there, as you can sink hours and hours into this game without even scratching the surface.
