Hey, so here’s the scoop. We’re smack dab in the middle of the PlayStation Store’s July sale. The discounts? Pretty sweet, honestly. We’re talking markdowns on top-tier PS5 and PS4 games. Oh, and there’s this one PS5 exclusive you shouldn’t sleep on. Seriously, don’t.
Whoa, Returnal is Nearly 60% Off!
Okay, let’s dive in. Returnal, crafted by those Housemarque folks, is hitting a wild 58% off. That chops it down to $29.39 from the usual $70. Kinda feels like a steal, right? But if you’re itching to snag it, don’t dawdle, because this deal wraps up by July 17, 2:59 a.m. ET. Couldn’t tell you why the exact time matters, but there it is.
So, here’s the lowdown: You crash land on this bizarre, ever-changing alien world. This is where Selene, our heroine, finds herself—constantly battling to survive. Every time she bites the dust, back to square one. It’s roguelike, which in gamer lingo means both the planet and your gear keep mixing it up. Keeps you on your toes. Or I guess… thumbs?
Dropped back in 2021, Returnal kind of blew everyone’s socks off. Critics loved it. I peeked at Metacritic, and boom—86 out of 100 from 115 reviews. Snagged a bunch of awards too. Like Best Action Game at The Game Awards 2021 and snagging an audio design win at the D.I.C.E. Awards. Guess people liked how it sounded as much as I do.
Our two cents? Nailed it with a perfect 10. “Returnal is must-have material for the PS5,” we blabbed in our review. It’s like they took this crazy bullet-hell style and turned it into a massive, cinematic experience. It’s weirdly comforting yet so fresh. It keeps surprising you, in the best way. I dunno, something about it just clicks.
