@Th3solution Really enjoyed Oxenfree, it's not that long either. Some of the fourth wall breaking stuff pleasantly surprised me.
Monster Hunter World I'm quite tempted by at £25 (I think) and another title I can't quite remember. I'm quite strict with what I buy online and if I can get it cheaper elsewhere from one of my trusted sites I will get from there, and even then it has to be at a certain price to get from the PS store.

@JohnnyShoulder Yeah, I keep getting good feedback on it and I like the short story heavy games sometimes.
Ok, how about this — Oxenfree for $5 or Nex Machina for $8. If I only buy one, which should it be? Both are discounted heavily in the sale.

@JohnnyShoulder Yeah, I went ahead and bought it. I saw that the writer was the main one from Tales from the Borderlands which I quite enjoyed. I kept waiting for it to be included as a free PS Plus game, but it never has, so for the price of a cheeseburger and fries I figure I might as well buy while it’s still on sale.
Unfortunately I have a busy weekend so I may not get around to it right away. It’s going to have to get worked in between all my other games too, lol.

Just pre-ordered Dead Cells, which is out on Tuesday. Totally forgot. It is actually cheaper on the PS store than I could find it on any online site sat £15.99. And it is not released physically until the 14th either.

I downloaded Mafia III earlier (thank you, PS Plus) and noticed that there are three DLC expansion packs, available separately or as part of a Season Pass. They aren't included as part of the free PS Plus download, and are still quite pricey.
So that I don't inadvertantly stumble over spoilers for an old game, can anybody recommend them? Having never played a Mafia game before, I don't know whether they feature anything necessary for the core game to feel "complete" in terms of story and / or gameplay additions. I won't be starting the game for a couple days so I'm in no major rush, but it'd be nice to know if they're worthwhile before I get underway.

I got Burnout Paradise in the sale and I didn't know DJ Atomica did the commentary for this game, that's awesome! I loved him in SSX3. I knew he did a Burnout but I thought it was an earlier one - maybe he did more?
@RogerRoger Hope I can answer your questions this way:
You can continue from your last save after the story, so don't worry about missing anything. You can even buy the DLC after you finish the game no problem.
The DLC are separate cases and not tied to the main story. Think Heart of Stone in the Witcher 3, if you've played that one.
The DLC is really short story wise (1-2 hours), but its writing is as good as the main game. It's pricey for what you're getting still.
The DLC do add some weapons, cars and side missions and part of them are also available before you do any of the DLC missions. So they do fill up the world a little more throughout all of the game, but it's not a lot.
Hangar (the dev) have put their own guide to the story online (it's full of spoilers, so don't look it up after you're deep in the game), and they recommend playing the main game up until you're finished with the downtown district. Then play the DLC in this order: Faster, No Stone, Sign of the Times. Then finish the game. So I guess that's canon.
My advice: play the game for about 10 hours (half of the story), then decide if you think you want any more.
@JohnnyShoulder Usually a good general rule, thanks. I'm guessing that's how it was released anyway but, having never played a Mafia game, sometimes I'm surprised by how DLC is incorporated (like how the extra case files in L.A. Noire slot into the narrative at key points).
@Kidfried Wow, that's really helpful, thank you! Those first two bullet-points are the key points for me; they're separate little chunks of story that I can come back to later, reloading a final save after the conclusion (and no, I've never played The Witcher 3, but can think of a half-dozen other examples based on your description alone).
Nevertheless, having that canon order is helpful if I do decide to take the plunge. I'll keep "clearing the downtown district" in mind as a cut-off point for making a decision.
There is a free weapon pack on the PS Store that I grabbed (looked to include a Tommy, a shotgun and a silenced pistol) so maybe they've made some of the additional weapons available separately (although it also feels suspiciously like a limited-time pre-order bonus pack).
Thanks again!

Honestly, I don't know what's happening here in Italy. Maybe the Big Ones already know that the end of the world is near, but I can see big deals everywhere. Resi 7 and Dishonored 2 too are € 9. And now I have a 50 gb plan for my phone and it's € 8 per month...
@Feena@RogerRoger Good to hear! I've been eyeing it for years, but with my backlog the way it is, I try to hold off on new PS4 purchases. With that said, it's short, and cheap, and it looks beautiful, so it seemed like a better purchase at the moment than some 50-hour RPG like Horizon.
