Man, so every month, it seems like the PS Store decides to throw this wild party with all sorts of crazy deals on games for PS4 and PS5. You know, the kind that makes you go, “Whoa, how did I not know about this?” This one game they’re practically giving away is this post-apocalyptic shooter from 2019. Can’t believe it’s been that long.
Okay, so get this — “Metro Exodus: Gold Edition.” Ever heard of it? Right now, it’s just chilling at $7.99 on the PS Store. Usually, it’s around $39.99, so yeah, major slash. If you wait too long, though, you’ll miss out because this sweet deal vanishes on June 12 at 2:59 a.m. ET. Why 2:59 a.m.? Beats me, but there it is.
The PS Store description reads like it’s trying to hype you up: “Epic, story-driven first-person shooter with all the fancy combat, stealth, exploration, and survival horror you could want, traveling across the spooky, post-apocalyptic Russia.” Sounds like a trip, right? Guess you gotta leave dead Moscow behind and wander all over Russia. Big adventure, or so they claim.
The Gold Edition isn’t just the main game. Nope, you get the Expansion Pass too. What’s that mean? You get extra stuff, like the DLCs—The Two Colonels and Sam’s Story or something. So if you’re thinking of diving deep into this world, it’s like a buy-one-get-more type of thing.
When Metro Exodus first hit in 2019, people loved it. I checked Metacritic once, during a coffee binge, and saw it had a score of 82 from 53 critic reviews. Crunching numbers isn’t my style, but that sounds solid. I remember our team gave the PS4 version an 8 out of 10. Not bad, eh?
“Incredible game, few bugs here and there,” is what we said, pretty much. Like those little glitches aren’t deal-breakers. If you dig the Metro series or survival horror… well, seems you’d enjoy it a lot.
Oh, and while you’re browsing, keep an eye out for more PS Store flash sales. Apparently, they happen during this thing called State of Play. Whatever that means.
So anyway, that’s the scoop. Go grab Metro Exodus before the deal’s gone and you’re sitting there with regret, sipping cold coffee.
