It's the holiday season again, and we're back with another Epic Games Store Holiday Sale. This year was a blast for gaming, which saw great hits such as Death Stranding and Ghost of Tsushima. We saw the final games of the current generation of consoles, and a glimpse of what's to come in the next-gen. Games like Assassin's Creed: Valhalla and Cyberpunk 2077 just give as a small piece of the pie of what next-gen gaming will be like.

But not all deals are made the same. That's why we made this buying guide for you to help you decide which games to pick up. Without further ado, these are 5 best deals in the Epic Games Store Holiday Sale 2020 that you absolutely should pick up.

TOP 5 BUYS FROM THE EPIC GAMES STORE HOLIDAY SALE 2020

Immortals Fenyx Rising ($43.99 -> $29.47 at 33% off)

This open-world game set in Greek mythology and takes heavy cues from the Nintendo Switch hit Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a great pick for the holidays. With the holiday break coming fast, you need a game where you can sink your teeth into. Immortals Fenyx Rising is filled with lush environments for you to explore and mythical monsters to best. A dense, very well-received game that serves as a perfect gift for a young one, it's surprising to see the game dropping its price this low this early in its life cycle. But we'll just be glad with the opportunity to get this awesome game for a lower price.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla ($43.99 -> $36.51 at 17% off)

The Assassin's Creed series is a tried and tested franchise. It may have had a rocky history, but Ubisoft was able to master the formula in its recent entries. Assassin's Creed Valhalla is a great harbinger of the next-generation, vouched by the name that is attached to it. Sure, it's not as heavily discounted as the other games in the list. Getting it at 17% off during the Epic Games Store Holiday Sale is still a great steal.

Grand Theft Auto V ($24.99 -> $12.49 at 50% off)

Seven years and running, and GTA V is still going strong. Mostly thanks to its vibrant and creative community for GTA Online, Grand Theft Auto V remains popular amongst gamers. With Grand Theft Auto VI still not making its presence known, GTA V is still your best bet if your trigger finger is feeling a bit itchy. What more, GTA V has one of the strongest stories throughout the whole series. With the bells and whistles of a metropolitan open-world, this game still gets our bet of games to buy during this holiday sale.

Death Stranding ($58.99 -> $29.49 at 50% off)

Death Stranding is one of the most polarizing games to have been released before Cyberpunk 2077. At launch, it received negative reviews for its seemingly innocuous gameplay, turtle-like pace, and frustrating controls. However, the longer gamers played, the better their appreciation has become for Hideo Kojima's magnum opus. Not only did people changed their minds and realized how great this game is, they were also treated with a very profound message that only a director like Kojima could deliver in a video game. Getting the game now will also get you up to speed with its recent collaboration with Cyberpunk 2077. There's no reason not to get this when you have the budget, especially since it's at its lowest price ever.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Game of the Year Edition ($35.96 -> $10.78 at 70% off)

If you haven't played this game yet, why? This game is the masterpiece by CD Projekt Red, based on the series of novels and short stories by Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski. This game was what set CD Projekt Red's popularity to sky-high levels. It's thanks to this game that Cyberpunk 2077 was hotly-anticipated by fans. Its well-crafted fantasy world, nuanced characters and branching, well-written quests made it win the The Game Awards' 2015 Game of the Year. Do yourself a favor and pick this game up, will you?
