Amazon

Price: $23.99 (originally $29.99)

2. 53% off a Dungeons and Dragons essentials kit to help you expand your skills beyond screens and prepare to have creative control over all of your friends as Dungeon Master.

Amazon

Promising review: "Honestly, this kit is what the original starter kit should have been. The story is easier to follow for a newer DM. The adventure is a lot more streamlined. The breakdown of character creation is amazing and simplified. It doesn't just toss you some generic character that you have no connection too. It simplifies character creation and allows you to ease into more complicated characters later on. The cards that come with this kit are something I wish I had when I first started. They help with initiative, conditions, and the sidekick cards and magic item cards are awesome. I would recommend this kit over the original to any person wanting to start playing DnD." —Bryan

Price: $11.69 (originally $24.99)

If you're already a seasoned DnD pro, you should totally check out this revamped version of Curse of Strahd (which is 10% off today) for some spooky fun this Halloween.

Amazon

Promising review: "Pretty great mouse, I upgraded from the normal 502. The mouse feels more precise than it's predecessor and honestly the main reason for the upgrade was for the white accent color to match my current setup. Over all, for the price it's a great mouse. I paid more for the original one when that came out. 10/10 would recommend." —Ty A.

Price: $34.99 (originally $49.96)

7. Apple AirPods for 28% off, great if you want a reliable pair of headphones that'll connect to your computer and provide a crisp sound whether you're just listening or chatting with your friends while gaming.

amazon.com

I'm obsessed with my AirPods. I was hesitant to buy them at first but they've ended up becoming one of my most cherished products this year. I wear them most of the day to block out my husband's work calls in addition to using them when i go for a run or even to chat with my mom hands-free while baking. They're fantastic.

Promising review: "These AirPods are amazing they automatically play audio as soon as you put them in your ears and pause when you take them out. A simple double-tap during music listening will skip forward. To adjust the volume, change the song, make a call, or even get directions, just say 'Hey Siri' to activate your favorite personal assistant. Plus, when you're on a call or talking to Siri, an additional accelerometer works with dual beamforming microphones to filter out background noise and ensure that your voice is transmitted with clarity and consistency. Additionally, they deliver five hours of listening time on a single charge, and they're made to keep up with you thanks to a charging case that holds multiple additional charges for more than 24 hours of listening time. Just 15 minutes in the case gives you three hours of listening to time or up to two hours of talk time. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to buy." —J.G.

Price: $114.99 (originally $159)

Want to go big or go home? You can snag the *newer* AirPods Pros for $50 off during Prime Day as well.

Promising review: "Perfect gift for a hard to shop for preteen! My son is almost 9 and I swear he’s getting harder to shop for every year especially with all the video games and electronics. He is genuinely excited for this, loves Legos and much prefers this over the candy advent calendars!" —Shelby Spielbauer

thesims / Via instagram.com, The Sims / EA Games

To know The Sims is to love The Sims. You can spend hours (days? weeks?) building your perfect home before even thinking about interacting with your character. I'm a longtime fan of this game and, honestly, can't think of a better program to play when quarantined for a long period of time. The best part about this game is you can truly make it whatever you want! Want to make your Sim have 100 babies? Sure, why not? Or maybe you want to create Barbie and level up every single career and skill option. The Sim world is your oyster.

Additionally, there's a *bunch* of Sims bundles available for up to 54% off — take a look!

Price: $4.99 (originally $39.99)

15. An HDMI splitter for 20% off, so you won't need to fumble with any cables when you want to switch between your PS4 or Xbox.

amazon.com, Amazon

Now this is a gadget that will earn you the title of Best Gift-Giver. With a single click any gamer will be able to cycle through two different devices without having to unplug ANYTHING. Convenience is key, people.

Promising review: "I purchased this splitter for use with my television and a PlayStation Vita TV console and Nintendo Wii U console. I ran out of ports, so a splitter seemed to be the perfect solution, much better than unplugging devices every time I needed to switch. This product is simple to use: plug the two sources into one side and the output location in the other, and you're done! It can also be used to split one device to two locations, like displaying a video game or television show on two different monitors. There is a small button you press in the center of the splitter to switch between the output selections. The video quality was good on the display even though it is going through the splitter. Overall, I highly recommend this product to anyone who runs out of HDMI ports on their television. I didn't find any flaws with the product. 5/5 stars." —Zero Ehxe

Price: $8.79 (originally 10.99)

16. 20% off a Fortnite drawing guide book for when you find the strength to take a break from gaming to focus on one of your other many talents.

Amazon

Promising review: "Surprised how thick and big it was when I received it. I was expecting something much smaller. My son loves it and it actually shows steps to draw his favorite Fortnite characters!" —Amber

Price: $7.30 (originally $8.99)

17. A microphone for 17% off that'll provide crystal clear audio if you're a gamer who moonlights as a YouTuber, streaming your gameplay for all to see. Who knows — maybe this'll be your ticket to internet fame!

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "Love, love, love it!!! I purchased this microphone when I upgraded from a laptop to a desktop gaming console (which did not have a built-in microphone like my laptop did). I needed this microphone for gaming and video editing purposes. My main concern from other reviews was that I would not have a crystal clear voice unless I was very close to the microphone. This is NOT true. I sit comfortably in my chair, a good two feet away from the mic and people online say my voice sounds crystal clear!!! I even tested playing music in the background while talking and my friend could not hear any background noise! Amazing!" —Brandon

Price: $49.99 (originally $59.99, available in black and white)

18. Or an even more professional USB microphone kit for 20% that'll impress the pants off of your friends.

Price: $79.99 (originally $149.99)

20. 50% off Sony noise cancelling headphones you should definitely treat yourself to if you want to solely focus on your game without distractions from noisy neighbors or roommates.

Amazon

Promising review: "The Sony WH-1000XM3 wireless noise canceling headphones are the most incredible headphones I have ever used! Not only are they supremely comfortable to wear, but the sound quality and active noise canceling are far superior to any other premium headsets that I have used. Super lightweight and excellent sound from these Sony over the ear headphones. All day battery life and comfort. Ears stayed cool during full day use while connected to my windows 10 desktop. The headphones ship with a great carrying case, a USB-C fast charging cable, an audio cable for wired connection and instructions/paperwork. The headphones fold up perfectly to fit in the case which is a good size for traveling. The came fully charged and ready to go, so all you need to do is (optional really, as they headphones will connect to your bluetooth device anyway) download the Sony Connect app and set up the earphones. So far, after using it for 10 days, i had no problem either with connecting them to my laptop or cell phone or sound quality. I like the adaptive mode, it adjusts the noise cancelling while you are walking or running." —J. Edward Baker

Price: $123 (originally $248; also available in black)

21. 50% off a coffee table book about the history of Hyrule, you'll probably consider spending all of your rupees to get your hands on it.

Amazon

I gifted this coffee table book to my husband a few years ago and it's still one of his most prized possessions. It is filled with the history of Link's adventures as told by the creators of the game — it's a wonderful addition to any gamer's collection.

Price: $20.04 (originally $39.99)

22. 25% off the Kingdom Hearts Talisman board game for you and your best friend who have been playing the video game version together since it came out in 2002.

Amazon

Game night is about to get a whooooole lot more magical.

Promising review: "Such a great game! I have never played Talisman before and so I thought this might be really complicated to learn to play. While there are a lot of elements to gameplay, I found that the instructions make it relatively easy to start to get the hang of it! Once you start playing, it all starts to make sense. It is so much fun to play and the board is beautiful! It also shipped quickly which I appreciated. All pieces came and were not broken! It is a bit of an investment, but absolutely worth it! It is very fun!" —Faith

Price: $52.49 (originally $69.99)

23. A carrying case for 48% off to keep your Switch protected when it's not sitting in the charger.

Amazon

Promising review: "Great to carry around your Switch without fear of damage. I have a USB-C cable, Samsung power adapter, HDMI cable (6ft), Joycon wrist straps, and the FastSnail HDMI Type C Hub Adapter so I can play on the big screen. I think I can fit one more pair of Joycons (and straps) so i can get 4 player Mario Cart. With all that stuff in this case, there is little to no pressure on the Switch. But you can't just throw it all in, you need to purposefully place the items to make sure there is no pressure on the screen or joysticks." —DanA

Price: $12.91 (originally $24.99, available in 10 colors).

24. Blue-light blocking glasses for 59% off because if you're gaming as much as I think you are you should definitely have a pair of these to help prevent eye strain.
