PlayStation Store Summer Sale Games List – Ends 7/31

RECOMMENDATIONS:

• Elden Ring (-30%, $41.99) – At this point, who hasn’t heard of Elden Ring, right? Possibly FromSoftware’s finest work, this is the Souls-like game of the generation. If you ever wanted to jump in, but balked at the price, now’s your chance.
• Hogwarts Legacy (-60%, $27.99) – The PS4 version is even cheaper, but get the PS5 version if you can. If you ever wanted to live in Hogwarts Castle, attend Herbology classes and whatnot, this is your chance. Just be prepared to Avada Kedavara a lot of “dark” wizards along the way.
• Red Dead Redemption 2 (-67%, $19.79) – If you haven’t played this yet, go do it. Even if you’re not a fan of westerns, this is one fun game. The story is fantastic, the side quests are super memorable (from the KKK, to getting molested and extracting revenge), this is one of the best open-world games of all-time (and better than GTA5).
• Tekken 8 (-43%, $39.89) – Bargain price for an awesome fighting game. Just be prepared to shell out more money for the DLC packs for characters. It’s Tekken. You can opt not to mind the silly cosmetics and just enjoy dialing combos.
• GTA 5 (-50%, $14.99) – Who hasn’t played (or even owns) GTA 5 at this point, right? But if you know someone, tell them it’s at a low price and should prep them somewhat for GTA 6 next year.
• UFC 5 (-45%, $38.49) – For those who like their fighting games more sim-like and realistic, the latest UFC iteration is a solid entry. EA keeps churning out new fighters (for free), roster and rating updates.
• Final Fantasy 7 Remake & Rebirth Twin Pack (-25%, $74.99) – Not a bad deal, though I you should be able to get Rebirth at a lower price in the coming months. But if you want to jump into the FF7 remake trilogy, this might be worth the short. FF7 Remake is, of course, the remake of the first part of the original FF7, and Rebirth is the second entry. Both are solid RPGs with updated gameplay mechanics for modern gamers.
• Resident Evil 4 (-25%, $29.99) – Super solid remake and outpaces the original in every way. However, I think this is sold cheaper in some sales. But if you’re OK with the price, this is a no-brainer pickup. Probably the best Resident Evil game made even better.
• Mortal Kombat 1 (-60%, $27.99) – Same as Tekken 8, this is a solid fighting game. Just know that new fighters are available as paid DLC, and Year 2 support will be revealed by NetherRealm at San Diego Comi-Con later this month.
• Rainbow Six Siege Deluxe Edition (-75%, $9.99) – If you want a slower paced shooter, then this is it. The game is still getting massive support from Ubisoft, and there are new onboarding ways for new players to not get overwhelmed.
• Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora (-50%, $34.99) – It’s Ubisoft open world but in Pandora. All kidding aside, this is a first-person action-adventure that surprisingly isn’t a shameless cash-grab. There’s even a new story DLC released just recently, and it’s getting monthly support form Ubisoft.
• It Takes Two (-65%, $13.99) – One of the titles that are almost always part of PSN sales, this needs to be played with a partner, and if you have one, you might want to try it and see if you two are aligned or not in terms of gaming headspace.
• Alan Wake 2 (-35%, $38.99) – Not always on sale, and easily one of the best games of last year. Even if you haven’t played the first one, this won’t disappoint. The horror isn’t that scary minus the first few jump scares, but the story, atmosphere, and just production value is topnotch.
• Street Fighter 6 (-50%, $29.99) – If you’re not a Tekken fan or a Mortal Kombat fan, chances are you prefer Street Fighter’s kind of gameplay. This is on sale, and same with the other fighters, this one gets DLC packs every few months, and Capcom has confirmed support for another wave of DLC fighters.
• Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered (-50%, $24.99) – Might just be me, but this game is rarely on sale. If you ever wanted to jump into the franchise, this might be the cheapest it’s been (digitally) for a while. One of the best superhero games of all-time, and once you’re done, you have Miles Morales and then Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 to play next.
• Dead Island 2 (-50%, $34.99) – Definitely not as good as the first one, but still not bad. Still getting support, and one of the few Embracer games that managed to hit expectations.
• Sekiro (-50%, $29.99) – Might not be FromSoftware’s most popular game, but it’s still held in high regard. This is one tough beast, so bear that in mind before you get it (gave up, too hard).
• Resident Evil Village (-60%, $15.99/$19.99) – Not a bad entry in the franchise, and wraps up the Winters’ storyline. The opening part is just awesome. The Gold Edition is also on sale and includes the story DLC.
• Dead by Daylight (-50%, $14.99) – One of the original asymmetrical multiplayer games and it’s still around! It just got the Tomb Raider crossover content this week too. Just remember that each chapter is also for purchase, but they are also on sale now as well.
• Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden (-25%, $44.99) – Not AAA but plays like it somewhat. This is semi open-world, and had interesting characters and side missions. I really, really liked this and the story is good as well. The combat is the weakest part, but there’s a ton of stuff to do, and some of the side missions are insanely complicated.
• Lies of P (-40%, $35.99) – One of the best Souls-like games made not developed by FromSoftware (so I was told). If you’re looking for a game to finish before the holiday’s big games drop, then this might be it.
• Battlefield 2042 (-85%, $10.49) – The PS4 version is cheaper. I know this game has been everyone’s punching bag since it got released, but it’s gotten loads better since. Specialists have taken a backseat to normal classes, and even if the seasonal content is over, EA is still releasing new events and stuff. Just last week, the Dead Space crossover event launched.
• Tomb Raider I-III Remastered (-20%, $23.99) – If you ever wanted to play the originals but with better everything, then this is it. Just remember that these were the early third-person 3D games, so do temper your expectations in terms of movement, combat, etc.
• The Outlast Trials (-33%, $33.49) – Huge departure from the first two since this is multiplayer and a live service game. Just got its biggest update this week and the devs have said that more support is incoming.
• No Man’s Sky (-60%, $23.99) – Another example of a game that disappointed at launch but managed to turn things around. It just got the big 5.0 title update today as well.
• Remnant 2 (-50%, $24.99) – Easily outclasses the first Remnant in every way. There have been two premium DLCs released so far. The game itself is deep, and features outstanding puzzles proving it has more to offer than just the combat.
• Dead Space (-65%, $24.49) – Just like the RE4 remake, this is one of the best remakes of all-time! It manages to improve on the original in every way possible. It’s not a short game, and has one trippy story (if it hasn’t been spoiled for you yet, go play it blind). If you’re going to get one game from this sale, let this be it.
• RoboCop: Rogue City (-50%, $29.99) – Surprisingly well made for a licensed game. Brutal and has that distinct flavor of old-school campaign shooters.
• Dying Light 2 (-60%, $23.99) – Loads and loads of support from Techland. It even got the raid beta last month, which is content on top of the single-player campaign.
• Cyberpunk 2077 (-25%, $53.24) – Another title that tripped at launch but managed to crawl its way back up tot the top. Support for this has essentially completed, but even so, it’s one feature-packed game, and most of the major bugs have been ironed out too.
• The Witcher 3 (-75%, $12.49) – One of my favorite games of all-time. This is the open-world action-RPG that you’ve been waiting for. Meaty side quests, loads of armors and weapons to craft and collect.
• Armored Core 6 (-30%, $41.99) – Another title that rarely goes on sale on PSN. This is FromSoftware’s mech game, and was one of their early franchises before Dark Souls became big. It’s not a souls game with mechs, but a mech action game that holds its own.
• Guilty Gear Strive (-50, $19.99) – Still getting loads of support, and made by the 2D geniuses at Arc System Works.
• DayZ (-50%, $27.49) – Still getting loads of support even to this day, and will be getting a new premium DLC later this year.
• Cuphead (-30%, $13.99) – This game is hard, but at least there is co-op so you can blame your partner for not doing that well. 2D side-scroller that has cool animation, bosses are a treat to look at. Just remember: it’s hard.
• Star Wars Battlefront 2 (-70%, $5.99) – Cannot attest to its player base now, but for that price? It’s worth trying. It’s super fun to be a hero and slash people down as Skywalker or Force Choke someone as Vader.
• LEGO Star Wars The Skywalker Saga (-75%, $19.99) – Relive the entire trilogy in LEGO form. Expect it to be a more humorous take on the Star Wars saga but still fun.
• Resident Evil 3 (-75%, $9.99) – Not a bad Resident Evil game but a very short one. If I’m not mistaken, you can finish this in like 4-5 hours? You can definitely finish it in one day. Being chased constantly by Nemesis gets nerve-wracking as well.
• Watch Dogs 1 + 2 (-80%, $11.99) – Haven’t played the second game but at that price, might be worth a gamble.
• Marvel’s Midnight Suns (-75%, $17.49) – The PS4 version is cheaper. It’s a strategy game but with Marvel characters. Surprisingly deep gameplay, and has loads of (non-MCU) Marvel characters to interact with.
• Resident Evil 2 (75%, $9.99) – My favorite RE remake. Just packed with content and two playtrhoughs means double the fun. Upgraded visuals, better pacing of the story and combat. Definitely a worthy buy at $10.
• Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart (-58%, $29.39) – Solid entry in the franchise, and possibly the first game to showcase the PS5’s power.
• Back 4 Blood (-90%, $5.99) – Support has ended but Turtle Beach has the servers up. If you have people to slay zombies with, might be worth a shot.
• Detroit: Become Human (-50%, $9.99) – If you like Quantic Dreams’ games, then this should be right up your alley. It’s an interactive movie more than anything, though it’s more video game than Supermassive’s titles.
• Need for Speed Unbound (-85%, $10.49) – Still getting support. Less serious take on the franchise.
• Dragon Ball Z Kakarot (-77%, $19.54) – Still getting DLC from Bandai Namco. It’s RPG but with the Dragon Ball franchise. Worth a shot if you’re tired of the countless fighting games.
• LA Noire (-50%, $19.99) – This title rarely goes on sale for some reason. Had super realistic graphics then, and focuses more on the detective part of police work than just firing at everyone.
• Gotham Knights (-80%, $13.99) – Support has ended, but not a bad way to play as part of the Bat Family but with pure action in mind.
• Persona 3 Reload – If you haven’t played the original, then this is your chance. More content dropping later this year too.
• Resident Evil 7 (-60%, $7.99) – Season Pass is also on sale. Very creepy game that doesn’t focus on zombies. The first first-person Resident Evil mainline entry and it doesn’t disappoint. Play on VR if you dare (I wussed out).
• Mass Effect: Legendary Edition (-85%, $8.99) -My fave gaming trilogy of all-time. This is peak BioWare. The re-release even has updated mechanics and whatnot. I actually downloaded this again and plan to play through the trilogy after writing about it here (yes, it’s that good).
• Sifu (-60%, $19.99) – Support and DLCs have ended but what’s there is solid. This is not an easy brawler, but one where you need to study your enemies. If you ever watched Kung-Fu movies and wanted to play it out, then this is the closest thing there is to it.
• For Honor (-85%, $4.49) – For those tired of shooters. here’s a different kind of multiplayer game. It’s still also supported a lot by Ubisoft even after all these years.
• Titanfall 2 (-75%, $4.99) – Prepare for Titanfall! Even if you’re not planning on hopping online for multiplayer, this game’s campaign is so, so good. Well worth the asking price even for just the campaign alone. Just remember to bring  tissues!
• The Outer Worlds (-60%, $23.99) – Obsidian’s RPG that a lot of people rave about (at least friends do).
• Little Nightmares I & II (-70%, $14.99) – Fantastic games, and definitely worth the price and the time. These seem simple at the surface, but the story, atmosphere are excellent. Good to play with kids as well, since it’s not too scary but has enough bite to make them sit up and take notice.
• Aliens: Dark Descent (-50%, $19.99) – Support has ended but there’s a ton of content to chew through. If you can manage to get a friend or two to play this, then definitely do it.
