This week's best deals: Monster Hunter, Onrush, DropMix and more

Plus Sega and Square Enix digital sales.

As we edge ever closer to Prime Day 2018 - which, incidentally, we've got our own dedicated best Prime Day game deals guide for - the deals, discounts and bundles are picking up steam all over the internet.

With that in mind, there's another curated list of the week's best deals to be found below, just ahead of Amazon's bespoke sales event next week.

As usual, we've got deals that'll work in the UK, deals that'll work in the US and some deals that will work in both the UK and US, as well as presumably many other places. Let's get started.

UK & US Deals
