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.
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.
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.
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.
Once Upon a Katamari (PS5)
$29.99/£26.24 (-25%)
Once Upon a Katamari is a great new entry in Bandai Namco's wackiest series. It instantly feels familiar to anyone who's played these quirky arcade action games before, but it rolls in some new ideas to freshen things up. A time-travelling premise sees the Prince visiting various time periods, which keeps the missions varied, and new power-ups can make your ball-rolling objectives much easier. There's still nothing quite like Katamari, and this game proves the concept hasn't aged a bit.
Patapon 1+2 Replay (PS5)
$19.79/£19.99 (-34%/-20%)
Patapon 1+2 Replay brings together the first two titles in this cult hit series, and it's arguably the best way to play them. A combination of rhythm and real-time strategy that remains unique to this day, Patapon is a compulsive and satisfying blend. You'll never escape the music once you start, and with charming art and a huge amount to see and do, this is a very easy game to fall for.
RoadCraft (PS5)
$27.99/£24.49 (-30%)
RoadCraft takes the intricate off-road fun of MudRunner and SnowRunner, and melds it with involving micro-management and building aspects, resulting in a fantastic experience that's the dev's best vehicle sim to date. With eight big maps full of ruined environs and treacherous conditions to contend with, a huge array of complex vehicles to master, and co-op play to maximise the fun of it all, this is a big old blast of a thing, a huge sandbox that's got excitement, depth, and challenge in spades.
Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds (PS5)
$48.99/£45.49 (-30%)
Some small gripes aside, Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is a rock solid kart racer that carves its own path. The dimension-hopping races are fun, varied, and fast, and the robust customisation allows players to really tinker with how the game feels. With energetic action, a good range of race types, and plenty of post-launch content on the way, this is an entertaining entry for casual players and hardcore Sonic fans alike.
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order (PS5)
$5.99/£6.74 (-85%)
One of the best Star Wars games in recent memory is Jedi: Fallen Order, and it's even better with its PS5 iteration. The action title charts the adventures of Cal Kestis, a character who undergoes secret Jedi training amid the Empire's crackdown. With a motley crew, you journey to various known and new worlds, engaging in simple environmental puzzles and intense melee combat. On PS5, the game benefits from improved framerate and higher resolution, giving you the best picture possible while cutting through Stormtroopers with your customised lightsaber.

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.
