Gorogoa (PS4)
$4.49/£3.59 (-70%)
If you're after a unique puzzle game, stop reading about Gorogoa and play it. This intelligent and wonderfully crafted puzzler has you viewing and manipulating framed images in a variety of brilliantly clever ways. It's the definition of short but sweet, providing you with a couple of hours of novel, engrossing headscratchers that'll have you smiling at their genius and simplicity.
Gotham Knights (PS5)
$6.99/£6.49 (-90%)
Subscribe to Push Square on YouTube167k
A spin-off of the Batman: Arkham series, Gotham Knights does its best to transition the world of the Caped Crusader to a Destiny-style co-op experience. The results are a little mixed, and subsequently it fails to match up to the high points of Rocksteady’s iconic series. However, there’s a nice story and enjoyable combat system on offer, which at least offers some short-lived entertainment.

Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions (PS5)
$5.99/£4.99 (-80%)
Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions is a surprisingly fun experience, with a variety of modes to sink your teeth into. There are some nice references to the books and films for diehard Potter fans, in addition to smooth flying controls that ultimately make the game fun to play. There are a few issues, noticeably regarding balance and the longevity of its single player content, but if you like the idea of playing a competitive sporting game in the Wizarding World, then it’s definitely worth checking out.
Hell Is Us (PS5)
$35.99/£29.99 (-40%)
With an incredibly dense lore and labyrinthine level design, Hell Is Us is a captivating experience. The game takes its solid (but tough) combat and chin-scratching puzzles and elevates them with a century spanning mystery that goes deeper and deeper. Its hands off approach means there is a huge emphasis on the world, and thankfully Rogue Factor does not disappoint. It’s not going to be for everyone, but for those that love a good lore-filled mystery, this is a PS5 must-play.
Hogwarts Legacy (PS5)
$10.49/£9.74 (-85%)
Taking place hundreds of years before the events of Harry Potter, Hogwarts Legacy finally lets fans live out their dream of attending the eponymous school. While there's an intriguing story to follow that takes you far beyond the castle itself, this RPG's strengths are all in the smaller things. The school is a joy to explore, as are the surrounding grounds, because of an obsessive attention to detail that really does imbue the open world with magic. Layer on top solid spell-based combat, flying on your broom, and even rearing magical creatures, and the result is a real crowd-pleaser — and definitely the best game in the franchise.
Hollow Knight: Silksong (PS5)
$15.99/£12.79 (-20%)
Hollow Knight: Silksong may have taken a long time to materialise, but it's been well worth the wait. It's another brilliant Metroidvania action game with tight, challenging combat and a fantastic sense of exploration. While its level of difficulty may be off-putting for some, it rewards patient players with a vast map full of secrets, lots of endearing characters to meet, and plenty of abilities and techniques to toy with.
Humanity (PS5)
$14.99/£12.49 (-50%)
The easiest way to describe Humanity is to imagine a sort-of surreal 3D take on Lemmings. This unique puzzle game has you guiding a stream of humans to the end goal of each stage, but doing so will involve steering them around obstacles, launching them across chasms, and even doing battle with enemies. With super imaginative design and even a full-fledged level editor, this is a fantastic game that, for PlayStation fans, feels like an old school Japan Studio oddity.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle (PS5)
$48.99/£48.99 (-30%)
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is just good old fashioned fun. Its simplistic gameplay lets it down a little, but with vibrant environments brought to life with stunning detail, excellent writing and performances across the board, and a fun globe-trotting Indy adventure that nails the tone and feel of the film series, we had a blast from start to finish. If you’ve been holding off from playing The Great Circle, then now is the time. The PS5 takes an already brilliant adventure and makes it even better.
Inscryption (PS5)
$7.99/£6.39 (-60%)
A game quite unlike any other, Inscryption combines cards with horror and mystery in some truly unexpected ways. What starts off as a perfectly good roguelike turn-based card game quickly starts to go off the rails as you learn more and more about the world's lore, leading to some brilliant twists and turns in the story. To say much more would spoil the experience.
Inside (PS4)
$1.99/£1.59 (-90%)
Inside is 2D platforming perfection, but it’s the ending that we all remember it for. After two or so hours of impressive puzzle-solving and hints that something isn’t quite right, the game goes off the rails with a 20-minute sequence that is perhaps one of the most memorable of the PS4 generation. An incredible game that has cemented Playdead’s position among the gaming greats.
Invisible, Inc. (PS4)
$4.99/£3.99 (-75%)
In a genre that's traditionally concerned more with open combat, Invisible, Inc.'s stealth focus is a revelation. Chock full of smart game design, you're gifted plenty of options in how you approach your mission, and despite having so many tools at your disposal, it remains satisfyingly challenging, without ever crossing over into being unfair. While the roguelike progression could potentially be a downside for some, the high level of customisation around the difficulty settings will swiftly rob you of this complaint. Simply put, if you have even a passing interest in turn-based strategy games, you shouldn't let this exceptional title sneak under your radar.
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga (PS5)
$11.99/£9.99 (-80%)
The force is strong with this one. While there have been several instalments in the past, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is the culmination of TT Games' previous efforts. Encompassing all nine mainline movies, this is a huge platformer adventure featuring all the most iconic sequences you remember from the big screen. When you're not progressing the story, it turns into a sandbox, letting you explore myriad locations from the films and play as one of hundreds of characters. Its gameplay is also more modern than the older LEGO Star Wars titles, sharpening up shooting and making combat more exciting. There's so much to see and do here that Star Wars fans need not play anything else for a while.
Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii (PS5)
$23.99/£21.99 (-60%)
A thoroughly enjoyable side game that looks to offer familiar Like a Dragon action with a swashbuckling twist, Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is a flamboyant distraction between mainline entries. The story doesn’t compare favourably to the mainline entries and the new island areas quickly become repetitive, but the novelty of Goro Majima at the helm of a pirate ship never quite wears off. Stay for its frenzied action and jolly pirate ship battles and you’ll have a good time.
Lorelei and the Laser Eyes (PS5)
$14.99/£11.39 (-40%)
Lorelei and the Laser Eyes is a fascinating, surreal web of puzzles that feels great to unpick. You explore a mysterious hotel, with every room presenting you with locked doors and a host of environmental oddities to figure out. Presented in black and white (with the occasional streak of hot pink), this is a striking puzzle adventure that goes far deeper than you might expect.
Lumines Arise (PS5)
$31.99/£26.39 (-20%)
Like Tetris Effect before it, Lumines Arise reinvigorates a classic puzzle series with spectacular new visuals, a brilliant soundtrack, and imaginative extra features. Playable with or without PSVR2, this music-driven puzzler goes well beyond its core Journey mode, expanding the series with robust training missions, varied challenges, and better-than-ever multiplayer features.
Marvel's Spider-Man 2 (PS5)
£34.99 (-50%)
Insomniac Games delivers an ultra-fun sequel in Marvel's Spider-Man 2. Refining pretty much everything that came before while delivering another rollicking superhero story, this is about as solid a follow-up as you could hope for. While it'll be fairly familiar if you've played the other games, new features tip it over the edge. The Web Wings are a huge boon for traversal, combat has been smartly refined, and the side content is more meaningful. It's a real crowd-pleaser, and is another shiny jewel in Sony's PS5 crown.
Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales (PS5)
$19.99/£24.99 (-60%/-50%)
Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales may be shorter than its immediate predecessor, a spin-off if you like, but it’s lacking none of the character of its older, bigger brother. While Marvel’s Spider-Man did away with origin story clichés, Miles Morales is much more of a coming of age tale, as it sees the eponymous star coming to terms with his new-found powers. This is a deeply personal plot that adds depth to Insomniac Games’ wider Spider-Man universe, and it comes with some smart new gameplay wrinkles that make it a blast to play. Instant loading and sumptuous visuals are merely the frosting on the top of this wintery open world treat, which will leave you lusting after Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.
Mass Effect Legendary Edition (PS4)
$5.99/£5.99 (-25%)
It took an entire generation to actually happen, but Mass Effect Legendary Edition finally gives us what we've always wanted: a remastered collection of the original Mass Effect trilogy. Commander Shepard's sci-fi escapades still hold up, with a cast of excellent characters carrying a three whole games' worth of memorable missions. Legendary Edition does a great job of bringing some much needed polish to the first Mass Effect, while also adding a welcome sheen to its sequels. An absolute must for anyone who's looking to become absorbed in a spacefaring adventure.
Monster Hunter Rise (PS5)
$7.99/£6.59 (-80%)
After its success on Nintendo Switch, Monster Hunter Rise, erm, rises to the occasion on PS5, and it's yet another meaty action RPG from Capcom. While it falls into the usual rhythms the series is best known for, it adds to the hunt-loot-upgrade system with neat new traversal and movement mechanics. It's been somewhat superseded by Monster Hunter Wilds, but even so, there's still a lot of beast-slaying fun to be had here.
NieR Replicant Ver. 1.22474487139... (PS4)
$23.99/£19.99 (-60%)
Partway between a remake and a remaster, NieR Replicant is essentially an enhanced version of the cult PS3 action RPG. Combat has been tweaked for the better, but the game's memorable characters and unique atmosphere remain. It's not quite as fleshed out, or as refined as NieR: Automata, but there's an undeniably weird charm to almost everything that Replicant does, especially in the storytelling department.

I just picked up Armored Core VI as a direct result of this article. I love mech games, though I tend to gravitate to the Battletech ones (i.e. MechWarrior 5: Clans), and I loved the Earthsiege and Starsiege games as a kid, but the occasional Japanese-flavored mech game scratches another itch entirely. I'm looking forward to it.
Gotham Knights worth it for that price? I could go for a bit of superhero action.
I know it means going to an external source, but I’d appreciate it if you had a separate section for (or only included) games which are put to their lowest price ever. Sales which keep putting games down to the same old price are not sales, just normal prices with periods of being massively conned when they temporarily go up again…
Crazy to see AC Shadows “discount” for the ultimate edition to be 94.99 because it will probably be under 30 this time next year. To each their own but Jesus I can’t rationalize spending that much on an ubi game.
@get2sammyb yes at that price its worth a go. It's not dire, it has its moments. I enjoyed some of the boss fights.
It's one of those games where you can tell it was originally designed to be a live service and then switched to single player during development type of game.
Blimey, a sale on a FromSoftware game! I’m still a bit scared to play Elder Ring, I’ve managed to game my whole life and remain terrible at games like that. One day though, when I’ve got the expendable money to risk it.
What does early access matter? LOL, it's digital sales, infinite supply, for games that will be on sale over and over again for that matter. I mean, buy it now or buy it in January or even later next year when they're on sale again.
@4fold your not alone and the fact they know we know is worrying.
Forza at 36? Come on, Microsoft. It's too old for that
I need to save on ps+ . I refuse to pay full price.
@DogPark Because some people want to play these things before/during Christmas at the discounted price?
I think it's BS that access is hated behind the Plus sub, but that doesn't mean that people won't take advantage of the offers right now.
I was thinking of picking up Forza Horizon 5, and you reminded me how utterly frustrating the AI is.
@deezcronuts Oddly, Forza was cheaper ($30) back in September: https://psprices.com/region-us/game/8426788/forza-horizon-5-standard-edition
So, I was expecting it to be that low for the holiday sales, too.
The ps5 version of DQ 3 does not have 3rd person battles. I think these are from a modded pc version screenshots...
Edit: So, It kind of has 3rd person only when selecting battle commands, then switching to first person. My bad
@OptimusPrime1
Correct! I pointed this out in the other article (I guess the comments didn't get merged), but yeah, Standard Edition for Forza was $30 in September. Black Friday and now this sale, it has not hit that price again.
I shoulda jumped on it. That said, I kinda wanted the Premium, which is following a similar pattern ($49.99 in Sept, $59.99 on sale since), so the temptation is still there to wait out a better deal lol
@get2sammyb I loved it. Runs 30fps but its done real well.
Why are "sales" prices still being talked about as a bargain. Steam is as bad, they aren't sales, they've all been at this price before. Don't believe the brainwash. I use cdkeys as it beats steam, but I haven't bought a PS5 game because of Extra in yonks.
No, thanks. I’ll stick to buying games and going through my backlog. All these deals are to try to entice gamers to see the “value” in PS+.
The only thing I see is online mp that is arbitrarily blocked behind a paywall and a service that is anything BUT essential.
@guacguacboo
I would not spend that money on ANY game. The only games I paid more than $40 is Elden Ring and few rare DS/3DS games that would grow value.
I played most of Sony, Xbox and Nintendo titles, plus lots of 3rd party titles, and always wait for sales or preowned copies.
There are better ways of spending money
I got armoured core for 15€ physical and a fair amount of these titles for the same price or cheaper on disc. Digital is seldomly a good deal unless it's under 10€.
@Slippship absolutely agree
@The_Wailing_Doom I got it on PC they absolutely broke the game with an update to the anti cheat as it causes FPS drops and they never fixed it
@Slippship Steam sales haven't been revenant since the end of the Steam Flash sales now that's when steam was brilliant. I could spend £50 and I would have bought about 20 games well known ones as well
ac shadows is 40 euros for me and that is a totally great price i’m contemplating getting it
They aren't sales any more even with PS+ there not worth it you can get them cheaper on disc if you look hard enough, how GTA5 is still £40 I don't know when it's always in the sales list every month.
And Borderlands 4 for £119 jesus get the F out of here, I got Farcry 4 3 months ago for like £3.79 now thats a sale but picked up the season pass 2 days ago for £3.30 as well. Star Wars Fallen Order I got for like £3.99 those are the prices for older games id like to see
@judgmentarrows if you hold on a little bit longer, it'll inevitably be under 20 or even free on PS+, 40 is still way too much
Enjoyed Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night for the most part a while after it was released, and see PushSquare gave it a 9/10.
Currently playing Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree, and to me it is a better game than fellow 'Castlevania Clone' BRotN.
@get2sammyb Mandragora is worthy of a review as much as Bloodstained, even if it is belated.
@deezcronuts Its the best game Xbox released since Forza Horizon 4 in 2018, let them charge whatever they want for it.
BF6 is about £35 from some retail stores.
@get2sammyb Late reply but the main problem this game has is not having much to do in the open world (not anything interesting anyway). Story missions are pretty good and gameplay overall is alright, although definitely not nearly as good as the Arkham games.
Oof, yeah, this is bad. I managed to spend only a small sum for BF and Holiday sales. But I got pinged for A LOT of goodies this time. Fantasy Life I is on sale for the first time! Dispatch also, with a somewhat negligible $3 off. PowerWash Simulator 2 also a small discount. Silksong and more!
RIP wallet indeed
@Hyena_socks
"Blimey, a sale on a FromSoftware game! I’m still a bit scared to play...."
You should give it a go. The great thing about E.R. is the fact that if you get to a boss you can't beat... just run away and level up doing other stuff. Then come back and beat the snot out of them. Go where you want and do what you want. Elden Ring is awesome and made me a believer. It is also in my opinion the easiest of the Dark Souls games because you can run away and level up. I highly recommend it!
@Svark that’s great to know, thanks! I’ll take the dive next year when my backlog is down a bit.
I can't stand browsing the store I'm done I'm just going to now go out and find games 2nd hand on disc perm, I'm so fed up of the shovelware crap on the store filling up sales slots that could be used for other unknown indie title
Even the PS app has a bug were if your browsing the store say under sales and are scrolling near the end of the list or half way through. It duplicates the same games again then some different ones then the dame set of games again. Sick and tired of seeing AI generated assets flip BS that are clearly just for people to boost trophies they need to clean it up
browses comments to see if people are already moaning about a digital sale and that stuff is cheaper on discs and that they hate Sony and that they hate gaming
As ever, not disappointed in my search.
@1970sGamer lol always the best moments.
Now you guys be careful with them purchases, we don’t want another Bend Studio fiasco “If YoU HaD bOuGhT iT aT fUlL pRiCe We WoUlD hAvE mAdE a SeCoNd GaMe”
Still no Erd Tree discount. Beginning to look like I'll never play it.
Save your money folks, the new years sale is always way better with bigger discounts
@1970sGamer
Perfectly happy as far as I'm concerned.
Mostly because work generously gave me a 180€ gift card ^___^.
Now, all that remains is to select which one of my wishlisted items will make it into the backlog and which will have to wait for another sale...
That's the kind of problem I like. Those perfectly disconected from the real world's trouble
