There are a ton of Prime Day video game deals, and we’ve already rounded a bunch of them up on our best Prime Day video game deals page. However, I’ll level with you: For the most part, those are just popular games at good prices. I’ve played some all the way through, dabbled in others, and never touched a few. You may enjoy the games on that list, but I can’t make any promises.

In addition to the general list, I wanted to make a more specific list of games with my personal seal of approval. I have personally played every single game on this page to completion, and they range from “pretty good” to “superlative.” From open-world superhero adventures to comedic strategy/RPGs, there’s a wide range of games here, and the only thing they have in common is that I had a blast with them. Will they be to your taste, too? Only one way to find out.
