Alright, so this PlayStation Store sale, huh? It’s like we’re barely hanging onto July and — bam! — discounts galore. Honestly, it’s like they know exactly when my wallet’s feeling a little too full. Speaking of which, there’s this game, “Returnal.” Heard of it? If not, here’s your chance because it’s going for a song at the mo.
Yeah, “Returnal” — a whopping 58% off. Do the math (or let me do it for ya): that slice cuts it down to $29.39 from nearly seventy bucks. Wild, right? But wait, these deals tend to vanish faster than my motivation to cook dinner. You’ve got until July 17, 2:59 a.m. ET. Set an alarm. Or three.
Now, picture this: Selene, our protagonist, crash-lands on some freaky, morphing alien world. Sounds kind of intense already, doesn’t it? Every time she kicks the bucket (and, oh boy, she does), it’s back to square one. It’s the endless grind — but with aliens. Each run switches it up, keeping you on your toes. Like that never-ending dream where you’re late for class, except, you know, with more laser guns.
When it dropped in 2021, critics were all over it. Metacritic slapped an 86 on it after 115 reviews. Not too shabby, eh? It bagged quite a few accolades — Best Action Game at the Game Awards 2021, and took home a trophy for Audio Design at the D.I.C.E. Awards. Sound on point, I guess. 🍿🎧
Our verdict? Solid 10/10. I mean, it’s maybe THE PS5 game to get your hands on. Think of it as taking that frantic rogue-like shooter vibe and supercharging it. It’s somehow both a throwback and a totally new creature. Keeps pulling surprises out of thin air. Or, err, digital air? Whatever works.
Anyway, grab it while you can. Or don’t. But then again, why wouldn’t you?
