Final Fantasy VII Remake & tonnes of Japanese games are up to 90% off

Green Man Gaming is running a Japanese game sale, featuring a load of titles from all over the spectrum of gaming.

The latest major sale from Green Man Gaming is here, and it’s all about Japanese games. Whether they’re RPGs or platformers, there’s a little something for everyone here. We’ll highlight a few of our favorites, but it doesn’t just stop there.

The sale features 360 games, ranging from Final Fantasy VII Remake to niche titles like Klonoa. You’ll find the largest discount is around 90%, with some titles going for less than $5 in some cases.

Green Man Gaming is running the sale until February 12 and is exclusively for the PC. The beloved Steam Deck also gets a nod here, as Green Man Gaming has begun to tag titles that are verified on the platform.

Green Man Gaming’s Japanese sale sees up to 90% off over 300 games

You’ll find a tonne of games here, but not every one of them is a gem. That’s why we’re here, to steer you in the right direction. There are a lot of RPGs, but if you dig a little further, there are some killer titles from past and present to take a look at.

Katamari Damacy remains one of gaming’s best

For a game with the name Katamari Damacy, you’d expect something a little regal. Well, technically, this is the most regal game in the cosmos. Originally released on PS2, Katamari Damacy Re-roll is a remaster for the PC that brings it to the high-definition era.

It combines its odd aesthetic with some unconventional controls to make an utterly bizarre game. If you’ve never seen it, you control The Prince, who has been tasked by The King of All Cosmos to recreate the galaxy after he drunkenly destroyed it. Roll the ball around, pick things up, and get them turned into stars.

Katamari Damacy quickly ramps up as the game begins to breach strange new worlds of comedy.

Final Fantasy VII Remake isn’t the only FF game you should check out

Stranger of Paradise is, by all measures, not the best game in the world. It is filled to the brim with cheesy, cringe-inducing moments and a solid bonehead for tact. However, once you get past the ultra-edgy exterior of the game, you begin to notice that this is a solid almost-Soulslike game.

Take the role of Jack Garland, who has an overwhelming desire to destroy chaos. The game itself sees you and your party fight against groups of enemies that’ll respawn in the area if you rest. There are some tactics you’ll need to employ and if you’re used to the general ebb-and-flow of Dark Souls or Elden Ring, you’ll feel relatively at home here.

Killer7 should be played by everyone

There’s always time for fun, it’s Friday night. Especially in the Grasshopper Manufacture game Killer7. Originally released on Gamecube, this remaster brings the blocky-low poly horror game to HD and it rules. It’ll always rule.

You play as a group of seven killers, each part of the psyche of Harman Smith. Each one comes with their own unique abilities to take down the enemies. It works on a classic on-rails system, where you can walk a designated path and when you enter combat, it becomes a bit of a shooting gallery.

It’s a unique title that gained a cult following while it was exiled on sixth-generation hardware. You won’t find much of an experience that matches it.

Best on Steam Deck: Final Fantasy XII

Final Fantasy XII often gets left out of the conversation regarding the best Final Fantasy games. Featuring all the quality-of-life improvements from the Japanese-exclusive Zodiac International version, it quickly puts FFXII comfortably in the top spot.

It has a unique take on combat, with the party eventually acting autonomously as you progress through the game. That can include your chosen player character as well, as you swap between the increasing roster. Commands can be issued traditionally too, and battles can even be paused for more tactical thinking.

However, the coolest part is setting up the logic for each character to do battle with. The game offers hundreds of commands for your party to follow in situations ranging from broad to niche appeal – similar to this sale.

It’s a fascinating game that feels like it was trying to figure out the next best way to push this style of RPGs.

As the game is often grind-heavy – not so much with the 4x fast forward on – it makes it great to sit and earn some levels on the Steam Deck.
