These picks aren’t that great, obviously it’s entirely subjective but still

Control is $9. There's a lot of good games. It's just weird seeing games 5+ years old going on sale for $20. Back in the early 2000s, if a 5 year old game was on sale it would be under $5 at walmart.

$11 in the year 2000 is $20 today adjusted for inflation.

Ever since the pandemic ended, I think developers are less willing to give good discounts, there's a few I've been waiting on good deals for, but 4 or 5 years later, they're not hitting below $50 (aussie dollars). Nintendo in particular are guilty of this, especially for their first party games.

Mostly a whole bunch of titles from the subscriptions of the world at not cheap prices.

Literally read the title wrong and thought it was a list. That's what I get for trying to post articles first thing in the morning.

Rift Apart for 30 bucks is pretty good. Everything else here is either barely a discount or has been free on PS+

There are no free games on PS+, you're paying for a subscription service to play games.

Yes, I think we all know this. No need to be pedantic.

I love browsing the PS store constantly, but the “sales” are pretty constantly shit imo. It’s always the same games on “discount”. I think better PS5 deals are found elsewhere for games.

Opening this list with Hogwarts Legacy at $47 tells you all you need to know

Haven't played engage or wild hearts wo won't comment on them but if engage is like 3 houses then no change was needed.

Sonic superstars isn't the best game ever, but to call sonic out for not innovating with superstars and then not adding super mario wonder is a bit incredulous.

I love wonder, it's another amazing 2.5d mario game but as far as innovations go, it's hardly innovating. Again wonder is awesome I'm just talking about innovation.

Wo long, was awesome but just another spuls like which was fine with me, enjoyed it all the same.

The biggest culprit on that list is starfield for me, it not only did not innovate or push the genre to new heights but it felt outdated as hell in soo many ways.

From what I've read of player reviews wild hearts is a good game with some of the most glaring performance issues that ppl say not to buy it at all. What's even worse is after all this time they still haven't fixed it. I'd buy it the moment it could run stable but it never has

@ Flawlessmic In Wo Long's defense I must point out it was mostly made by their "B" team as the "A" team supervised them while making Rise Of The Ronin that will release next year.
They learning up a "new" team to make great games and still release a great game as Wo Long isn't that bad in my book to be honest.
All things considered Wo Long is a game well worth the Day 1 buy I gave it. And with the 2 DLC's the game is at least twice as fun for me now. 3rd one is coming now in December and the game will be "complete" together with a new wizardry spell and final fine-tuning patch. What's not to like ? :)
