You know, sometimes I’m just browsing the PlayStation Store, thinking I’ll save a few bucks, and suddenly—bam, there it is. The kind of deal that makes you blink twice. I’m talking about some top-tier PS4 and PS5 games going for prices that don’t make your wallet weep. Like, remember when the PS5 launched back in 2020? Yeah, some big hitters from then are now practically a steal.
So, there’s this game, Sackboy: A Big Adventure, ring any bells? Right now, it’s 67% off. Feel like the folks at PlayStation might just be giving half of it away. Twenty bucks instead of the usual sixty bucks. That’s less than the price of three fancy coffees. But, brace yourself—this deal’s vanishing act happens on July 3 at 2:59 a.m. ET. Mark it, don’t snooze and lose.
The game blurb says something about facing “thrilling, unpredictable challenges” in these hand-crafted wonderlands. Can’t lie, it sounds like a fever dream. You get to race against time, team up with buddies, and kinda just make things up as you go—sounds like chaos in the best way. You’re supposed to be saving some place called Craftworld from this villain, Vex. Why is it always some dude with a sinister name?
Thinking back to when this game launched, the critics, as they do, had all their numbers and scores. Metacritic gave it a decent 79. And our review? Well, we tossed a perfect 10 at it. Seriously, the game surprised us with how good it felt to play. Kind of like finding that missing sock behind the dryer—surprising yet satisfying.
Without the level creation jazz that LittleBigPlanet had, Sackboy just kinda zips around doing his platforming magic. And on the PS5, it’s detail galore, like watching grass grow but way more fun.
Oh, and if you’re diving into this adventure, check out the free costumes on the store. They’re cute—might even make you smile. And who doesn’t need a dose of cute, especially when it costs nothing?
