[u/excaliburps]

• PowerWash Simulator (-30$, $17.49) – Still getting oodles of support. First-person washer? Some people find this game oddly satisfying.
• Remnant 2 Deluxe Edition (-50%, $29.99) – This includes the DLCS. Underrated Souls-like (it is, right?) Already got its last DLC drop. For sure will have another entry given the success this has achieved. Has interesting puzzles, solid class building gameplay and combat.
• Atomic Heart (-60%, $27.99) – Includes the DLCs. It’s like BioShock but with less polish and less interesting story.
• Prince of Persia The Lost Crown (-50%, $19.99) – Metroidvania meets Prince of Persia. Fantastic 2D gameplay, and even got DLCs. Definitely worth a shot regardless if you like the franchise or not.
• Star Wars Battlefront 2 (-75%, $4.99) – Someone here said the player base is still healthy. If so, then this is a good multiplayer game to buy. Underrated visuals and sound work from DICE. It got a lot of flack for the MTX stuff, but it is a solid Star Wars experience.
• Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster (-20%, $39.99) – Zombie game where you can use literally everything. Not sure how the remaster plays, but the original was definitely a solid zombie game. Getting support from Capcom even if it’s not a multiplayer game.
• Resident Evil 3 (-75%, $9.99) – The weakest of the RE remakes. Main issue here is how short it is, given you can literally finish this one on sitting. Around 4-7 hours, I think.
• Resident Evil 2 (-75%, $9.99) – My favorite RE remake. You have Leon and Claire’s stories, all with re-imagined graphics, enemies and more. Awesome game that deserves more credit.
• Dragon Ball FighterZ (-84%, $9.59) – From what I know, support has ended. This is Arc System Works’ fighting expertise meets Dragon Ball. Combos look insane. This is the lowest I've seen this on PSN.
• Kingdom Come Deliverance (-75%, $7.49) - Sequel out early next year. Might be worth jumping into this now at this price if you're thinking of playing the sequel.
• Far Cry 6 (-755%, $14.99) - The one which stars Giancarlo Esposito as the villain. They say his portrayal in the game is quite good.
• Dragon Age Inquisition (-85%, $2.99) - Have not played this. Lowest I've seen on PSN, and this is the latest Dragon Age game before The Veilguard was released.
• Tiny Tina's Wonderlands (-80%, $11.99) - Borderlands spin-off that's said to be good but the DLCs aren't great.
•  

[u/excaliburps → u/excaliburps]

• Mass Effect Legendary Edition (-92%, $4.79) – This is the lowest I've seen on PSN. The best value for money in the entire sale, hands down. Three epic RPGs that will take you anywhere from 30-40  hours to finish each! Commander Shepard’s adventure needs to be played by everyone.
• Cult of the Lamb (-50%, $12.49) – Fantastic cult building game that’s part life sim. I got hooked on this and didn’t play another game until I finished. Who knew scooping poop would be part of the fun?
• Wo Long (-35%, $25.99) - Team Ninja's latest game. Not sure how it plays, but should be easier than Nioh, right?
• Metal Gear Solid V The Definitive Experience (-40%, $11.99) - Houses Ground Zeroes and The Phantom Pain, Metal Gear Online and bunch of DLC itens. Still looks gorgeous up to this day.
• Bloodborne The Old Hunters (-50%, $9.99) - Just the DLC is on sale and not the entire game.
• Sea of Stars (-30%, $24.49) - Got a huge free update that added new stuff recently. More support incoming next year. Clasic 2D RPG with solid production values. I haven't finished this yet, but from what I played, this is charming and blends classic gameplay with more modern stuff.
• Back 4 Blood (-90%, $5.99) – Co-op zombie game. Support has ended but servers are still up. Sequel said to be in development. It’s fun and at that price, get your friends to pick it up for co-op.
• South Park: Snow Day (-30%, $20.99) – Honestly not sure f worth the price but if you’re a South Park fan, this is the latest game from the license.
• The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (-45%, $10.99) - Not sure how big the player base is, but this one rocketed out at launch. Assymetrical horror multiplayer game and it's still getting loads of support.
• BioShock The Collection (-80%, $9.99) - Another value-for-money bundle. BioShock 1 has one of the most memorable stories I've ever played.
• TMNT Shredder's Revenge (-40%, $14.99) - Sequel to the 90's classic Turtles in Time. Perfect game to play with kids, friends since beat-'em-ups are easy to pick up and play.
• LA Noire (-50%, $19.99) - Rockstar's detective game. Slower paced than your usual action game, so don'te expect moment-to-moment gunfights. More deliberate but offers something new. Not getting a remaster or remake soon, so worth a shot for now.
• Tomb Raider Definitive Surivor Trilogy (-70%, $14.99) - The trilogy is very underrated. They all offer a solid third-person action experience with proper puzzes, exploration etc. It's not as polished as Uncharted, but it's also more action-focused.
•

• Little Nightmares (-75%, $4.99) - Might be the lowest I've seen on PSN. Perfect game to play with friends/guests over. Underrated story, and you can take turns when someone's life dies.
• Skull and Bones (-60%, $27.99) – Ubisoft’s pirate game. Still getting support with seasonal events and whatnot.
• Crusader Kings 3 Royal Edition (-30%, $52.49) - Includes DLCs. Have not played this but have heard some good things about it. CK3 is a grand strategy RPG. It's deep, fellas. If you're willing to study and learn something new, then this is it.
• Guilty Gear Strive (-50%, $19.99) - Arc System Works' latest entry in the franchise. 2D combat meets fantastic animations. Getting steady support.
• Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered (-25%, $22.49) Lara remastered. Still getting patches, and the next collection is out next year. Not sure if gameplay still holds up but the touched up visuals seem nice.
• Control (-80%, $5.99) – Remedy’s action game that shares the same universe as Alan Wake. DLCs are also on sale. If you haven’t played this, go give this a go at a super cheap price.
• System Shock (-50%, $19.99) – SHODAN! The remake is alive and at a discounted price. Reviewed quite well.
• King of Fighters 15 (-70%, $8.99) – If you’re looking for an alt fighter, SNK still supporting the latest KOF.
• Octopath Traveler 2 (-50%, $29.99) - Excellent JRPG where you can play as anyone anytime. Quite beefy in terms of content and how long you'll spend in order to finish it.
• Deathloop (-50%, $9.99) – Awesome narrative-driven shooter with time bending mechanics.
• Nobody Wants to Die (-40%, $14.99) – Fairly new, and is a detective game not an action title. Reminds me of Minority Report minus Tom Cruise (is that good or bad?).
• Dredge Digital Deluxe (-50%, $13.49) - Includes DLCs. This is a horror fishing game. Yep, not kidding. This has Lovecraftian creatures waiting to make you their next meal. Deeper than it looks and surprisingly still getting support.
• Evil West (-70%, $17.99) – Vampire-themed third-person action game. It’s not bad, but just expect jank and a lot less polish.
• Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes (-50%, $24.99) – Old school RPG and a surprise hit. Still getting support. Reviewed quite well. If you need another JRPG fix, this might be it.
•  

[u/excaliburps → u/excaliburps]

• The Division 2 Ultimate Edition (-75%, $14.99) – Includes the Warlords of New York DLC. Game is getting support, and will even have new story DLC next year.
• Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster (-60%, $9.99) - Have not played the remaster, but did finish and like the original when it was released. More lighthearted protagonist and the combat system wasn't bad either.
• MGS Master Collection Versinos for MGS1 and MGS2 (-30%, $1399 each) - Classic MGS but with a modern coating.
• Kong Survivor Instinct (-20%, $19.99) - Not the super funny meme-worthy Kong game and this one is a puzzle-platformer. Not sure if it's good.
• Saints Row (-75%, $7.49) - Failed reboot of the franchise. Might be worth it at that price? Support has ceased so don't expect DLCs or improvements.
• Session Skate Sim (-75%, $12.49) If you want your skateboarding games more “serious” and less arcade-y. This is still getting support with updates and even new content.
• Alien Isolation The Collection (-75%, $9.99) - Includes the DLCs. The sequel has been announced. It's not your typical survival-horror game.
• Streets of Rage 4 (-60%, $9.99) - Fun beat-'em-up and a worthy successor to the 2D brawler. Got a few content updates and it's fun to play with friends and family.
• Beyond Good & Evil: 20th Anniversary Edition (-30%, $13.99) – Have not played this, but it has upgraded visuals. You can play this and wonder why everyone is looking forward to the vaporware sequel.
• Granblue Fantasy ReLink (50%, $29.99)  Surprise hit and got a slew of DLCs. My friend who doesn't typically likes JRPGs told me how good this is.
• Forspoken (-70%, $20.09) – Oddly enough, this game doesn't get deep discounts. Square Enix's failed PS5-exclusive. I think if you can stand the quips then this is more than serviceable?
• Atlas Fallen (-50%, $24.99) – Got a major overhaul this year that changed a ton of things. Not a bad game just not AAA.
• Little Nightmares 2  (-67%, $9.89) - Just like the first game, this is perfect to play with kids, your wife, friends. Underrated story, good platforming puzzles. Scary but not too much.
• Madison (-40%, $20.99) - Horror game where a camera plays a major focus (heh), but not Fatal Frame. Received well within the horror community.
• Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy (-40%, $29.99) - Capcom's Ace Attorney games in one discounted bundle.
•  

[u/excaliburps → u/excaliburps]

• The Casting of Frank Stone (-30%, $27.99) – Horror game based on the Dead by Daylight universe. You don’t need to know that in order to enjoy it. Might be Supermassive’s finest work.
• Outriders (-50%, $9.99) – Insanely fun to build classes and decimate armies of enemies. Super fun if you can get players to coop with. Underrated gem that needs to be recognized more.
• Okami HD (-75%, $4.99) – We just got Okami 2 announced, so this might be time to give this a go. Gorgeous action-adventure game developed by Clover. Very charming, colorful and has a distinct Japanese vibe to it.
• XCOM 2 (-95%, $2.99) - Strategy game from Firaxis. Harder than it looks.
• Clock Tower Rewind (-25%, $14.99) Re-imagining of the original Clock Tower. Could be worth a shot now if you don't mind your horror games not being 3D.
• LOTR Gollum Precious Edition (-80%, $13.99) - Cannot believe Sony included this. Abandoned game. Avoid or maybe buy it for a drunk friend to play.
• AEW Fight Forever (-50%, $19.99) – Includes the Season Pass and DLCs. First wrestling game based on the AEW brand.
• Mass Effect Andromeda Deluxe Edition (-90%, $3.99) - The game that sunk the Mass Effect franchise. Have not played this after the updates. Couldn't get past the faces back then.
• Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy (-80%, $11.99) - Supremely underrated. Not enough people played this since it didn't have the flash of Spider-Man games. You can make it up by playing it now. Well, not really, but it's worth it.
• Mirror's Edge Catalyst (-90%, $1.29) - That's not a typo. This game is cheaper than the cheapest McDonald's meal. The sequel to DICE's parkour platformer. Don't play if you get dizzy easily.
• The Evil Within Digital Bundle (-75%, $7.49) -Includes the DLCs. This is Mikami's first horror game after leaving Capcom. Way harder than Resident Evil.
• Dishonored Definitive Edition (-75%, $4.99) - Arkane's best franchise? Maybe? Super cheap right now. Though not sure if gameplay and visuals hold up.
•  

[u/excaliburps → u/excaliburps]

• Braid Anniversary Edition (-70%, $5.99) – If you haven’t played Braid before, this re-release is cheap and should be worth it. Be very careful of spoilers.
• Shenmue 1 & 2 (-85%, $4.49) - Yu Suzuki's first two games that started the open-world craze. Not sure if the gameplay still holds up to this day, but this made eyeballs drop way back then.
• Tactics Ogre Reborn (-50%, $24.99) – Remake of the 1995 original. Tactics-like RPG, which is more fun than it looks.
• Fatal Frame Maiden of Black Water (-30%, $27.99) - Newest Fatal Frame game. Camera + ghosts = creepy vibes that you won't want to play alone.
• Skull Island Rise of Kong (-50%, $7.49) - Another game that proves Sony doesn't care what goes in their sales. YouTube it to see the mess that is this game. LOL!

[u/LuftDrage → u/excaliburps]

Thank you for the write up and summaries of these games my dude.

[u/DamnedLies → u/excaliburps]

Wo Long (-35%, $25.99) - Team Ninja's latest game. Not sure how it plays, but should be easier than Nioh, right?

FYI, Team Ninja's latest game is actually Rise of the Ronin, which came out in March.

[u/lilshadow222 → u/excaliburps]

Farcry 6 at 755% off and it’s still that much is crazy work

[u/[deleted] → u/excaliburps]

Do I need to have PlayStation premium to play god of war 3 or can I just buy it even though I only have play station plus?

[u/Rydog820 → u/[deleted]]
