Thank your own personal deity—possibly Big Brother Bot—it’s Friday! Today is very much about Astro Bot, the star of the moment that’s garnering many a 10/10 to enjoy a braggable “94” on Metacritic. As somebody who’s 100%ed the pants off of it already, I can confidently say that paying $89 instead of 110 bucks is a wise investment you won’t regret.

In retro news, I’m baking a big 22-shaped birthday cannoli for Mafia. Set within the fictional city of Lost Heaven in the ‘30s, this (literal) OG on PC blew my mind at launch with its complex crime drama, comparable GTA III-esque action, and hilariously deformable cars. Better yet, the final scene of Tommy Angelo—taxi driving mook inducted into “myah, see” mobster by chance—is one of gaming’s most unforgettable dismounts. The classy-as-hell remake of this truly is an offer you can’t refuse.
