Wow, where to even begin? So, tucked away in the chaos of everything going on, the PlayStation Store is still running these deals — kinda like post-Summer Game Fest hangover sales. Seriously, it’s like they’re trying to keep the party going with some crazy discounts on PS4 and PS5 games. I stumbled upon this gem of a deal for those who are into Soulslikes. You know, the ones where you die every five minutes but keep coming back for more because maybe this time you’ll finally beat that boss. Ha, who am I kidding?
Right, so Lies of P. Ever heard of it? Me neither until today, but apparently, it’s this big deal where developers Neowiz and Round8 Studio put together this wild Pinocchio-meets-dark-fantasy thing. Pinocchio? Yup. Not what I expected either, but here we are. And it’s half off! From a jaw-dropping $59.99 to a “Wait, do I have enough in my account?” price of $29.99. But, heads up — this deal is slipping away faster than a greased-up shoelace. You’ve got until June 19 at, like, 2:59 a.m. ET, which is the middle of the night. Why these odd times? Who knows. Marketing quirks, I guess.
And the setup of the game? Imagine this: You’re a puppet, not the cuddly type, navigating this super sketchy world with even sketchier dudes throwing curveballs at you. Puppet society gone wrong, or something. I guess that reimagines childhood nightmares, but then again who hasn’t dreamed of being a puppet on some nights? Just me? Moving on.
Oh, and hey, there’s even DLC. You know, extra bits you can snag if the main game wasn’t existentially mind-twisting enough. There’s this bundle too — the Overture Bundle. Now, I don’t really get why “Overture,” but it sounds fancy. Normally $89.99, but with the discount shenanigans, it’s down to less than 60 bucks. I mean, do I need this in my life? Maybe. Depends on how tired I am of normal life challenges.
And wrap your head around this — when it first hit the scene back in 2023, Lies of P did pretty well. There was this buzz on Metacritic: scores rolling in around 80. That’s like, good, right? The DLC got even higher. So, whether you dive into this deal or let it slip through your fingers, just remember this was a thing. Maybe it’ll haunt your dreams, or maybe just your PS4/5 home screen.
