Cadence of Hyrule
£15.74 (was £22.49)
Still haven't got round to playing this but haven't known anyone to hate it yet. Getting nearly seven quid off sounds good to me. There's a free demo if you want to try that first.

Gone Home
£5.99 (was £11.99)
Not all games need to be challenging. This was one of the games that spawned the 'walking simulator' term but it's a beautiful experience.

Horizon Chase Turbo
£8.99 (was £17.99)
If you long for the days of arcade-style racers like Out Run and Top Gear on the SNES, this is near-perfect. Fantastic music and silky 60fps racing. Easily one of my favourite games of last year.
