Focus Home Interactive is probably this generation's most prominent b-tier publisher. For several years now, it's been pumping the PlayStation 4 full of titles that aren't quite AAA blockbusters - but they're not digital-only indie-style escapades, either. The kind of games that reviewers give 6s and 7s across the board while potentially establishing a cult following.
Anyway, if b-tier gaming is your jam, then you should check out the Focus Home Interactive sale that's currently happening on the US PlayStation Store. Recently released Shiness: The Lightning Kingdom is up for grabs at a slightly reduced price, and interesting but ultimately flawed action role-playing release The Technomancer is marked down to $15.99. Meanwhile, Sammy Barker's guilty pleasure Farming Simulator 17 is going a little cheaper, and recommended RPG Divinity: Original Sin - Enhanced Edition has dropped below half price.
What are your thoughts on these b-tier titles? Are they your kind of thing? Don't blow a gigantic budget in the comments section below.

Divinity is one game I've always wanted to pick up, but never did because it's size was a bit daunting. This time maybe....
Divinity game is really complicated I was interested but then played and said nope
One of the worst sales in a while
@smythelove Same here. Wifey and I really wanted to like this game, but "tedious" is the word I would use to describe the game.
@uMuffin Couldn't agree more! Back to my Japanese games Yakuza 0 then Nier lol
Loved Divinity. Technomancer is still a tad too high of price. And Farming Simulator...Just No. Sorry SammyB.
The technomancer is a pretty cool game aside from a bland colour palette, it really is a solid AA game, also it shares the setting of mars war logs if anyone remembers that game.
I find the term B tier a strange one to use for these titles. A B-movie is something that does not take its self seriously. Many 1000's of hours of blood sweat and tears have been put into these games to create something of value.
