Award-Winning PS5 Exclusive Now 58% Off on PS Store

Wow, so here we are, talking about games and sales, or maybe we’re just procrastinating. Anyway, July — mid-sizzle of summer, and PlayStation’s tossing discounts like it’s confetti. You know that rush when you see a game you kinda wanted but didn’t want to shell out full price for? Yeah, that’s where we’re at.

### Big Whoop: Returnal’s at 58% Off

So there’s this game, Returnal. No idea why it feels like such a big deal, but apparently, it’s slashed down by 58% on the PS Store. Quick math tells me — but don’t quote me — you’re paying about $29.39 instead of $69.99. Tried to calculate that without a calculator; let’s just say it wasn’t pretty. But, um, tick-tock, because this vanishes faster than a Snapchat pic on July 17 at the ungodly hour of 2:59 a.m. ET.

Picture this: you’re Selene, plunging into chaos on some alien world — crash landing, actually. Sounds a bit like my morning commute but with more, I dunno, bullets? Every time you bite the dust, it’s like Groundhog Day, but with monsters. And the planet gets all whimsical, changing its theme, remixing your gear. Keeps you on your toes, if you’re into that kind of stress.

Now flash back to 2021 — simpler times, right? Returnal drops and critics are showering it with love, which is rare, let’s be honest. According to Metacritic — which I sometimes trust, no idea why — it got an 86 from 115 reviews. Felt like it was everywhere, snagged awards, like Best Action Game and some audio thing at the D.I.C.E. Awards. Probably means it sounds good, although it’s not exactly on my vinyl list.

Oh, and we gave it a perfect 10 in our review. I mean, sure, who am I to argue? It’s this fancy mix of rogue-like chaos and big-budget drama. Real A+ for adrenaline junkies and wannabe heroes staying up till 3 a.m. juggling controllers and existential dread. I guess, if you’ve got a PS5, it’s one of those must-haves. Or is it just hype? Guess that’s the real game, huh?
