There have been lots of big, bulky, blockbuster games lately. If you're feeling a bit weary and looking for something smaller or less time-consuming, Sony might have just the thing. The latest PlayStation Store sale is all about indies and smaller scale software, and there are well over a thousand PS5 and PS4 titles to choose from in this monster offer.
It's almost impossible to pick a handful of recommendations as there's just so much that's going for a good price. However, some PS5 favourites include the recently released OlliOlli World for £19.99/$23.99, Haven for £11.99/$14.99, and Demon Turf for £13.49/$18.74. We'd also pick out Subnautica: Below Zero (£17.99/$17.99 for PS Plus members), Mortal Shell: Enhanced Edition (£12.49/$14.99), and Hoa (£6.59/$8.24).
On PS4, there's naturally far more choice, and some true gems are going cheap. Hollow Knight at £5.79/$7.49, Streets of Rage 4 for £11.99/$14.99, and Nex Machina for only £3.99/$4.99 are all a steal and all highly recommended.
With so many games on offer, it's probably best you browse the PS Store for yourself and pick out some winners. It seems the sale runs from now until 24th March, so you've a good couple of weeks to take a look. What will you be buying in this indie sale? Tell us in the comments section below.

Everything back down to its normal price I see. Will probably pick up Fruit Ninja VR as it’s impossible to get physically. Finally pulled the trigger on Beat Saber recently as I resolved myself to the idea that it will never be in a sale, so I’m in a VR mood at the moment.
I'm tempted to buy the medium? Does anyone no if its worth it
I'm hoping for a little discount on Dying Light 2 deluxe edition, maybe the Spring sale in April at the earliest?
Tempted to pick up Frost Punk and the season pass, been a while since I played that.
But I've got so much to play and now GTAV next week.
Decisions, decisions.
Some absolutely fantastic indie games in this sale.

I'd say The Medium was good, but not great. if you've played any other games by team bloober (layers of fear, observer, Blair witch etc.), it's more of the same. Simple gameplay, bordering on walking simulator, but with brilliant atmosphere. I didn't find it particularly engaging, but it's their most graphically accomplished game. Their games are never free from frustration, but always have some great moments. Hope that helps
35% off on Kena Bridge of Spirits. Don't sleep on that one, friends!
@TheCollector316 Indeed and Hollow Knight for £5.79/$7.49. It was a bargain at full price.
Picked up OlliOlli World and dipped in this morning. It's loaded with charm and that classic arcade-y gameplay. I can already tell this will be taking all of my hours. Well, the ones left over from Horizon Forbidden West, that is.
I picked up a few. Always find it hard to filter the ones from these large lists which i will probably like. After reading a few reviews I bought Journey, Silence, Little misfortune, the gardens between and Last day of june. All pretty cheap.
@Ajfennell77 I’m a bit biased coz I’m a huge Bloober Team fan, but I ended up buying a PS5 just so I could play The Medium. The graphics are gorgeous, the atmosphere is so freaking cool with a soundtrack that’s equally amazing and creates a lot of tension.
There isn’t a lot of action and you’ll mostly be solving puzzles, doing a bit of sneaking and running while unraveling the story and admiring the beautifully crafted world. The split screen puzzle solving is a neat mechanic and there’s some genuine creepy stuff in there. The monster will have you shuddering with the insanely creepy ***** he says and you’ll get a few fantastic jump scares in there too.
We’ll worth the price IMO, and (like the previous comment) if you have enjoyed any of their other games you’ll love this one too.
I’m tempted by Murder House, Windlands 2, and Heavenly Bodies.
@ColKojakSlapheadIII @Breekhead tarr I've only played Blair witch of there's...but I keep wanting to buy it but keep stopping myself
@nofriendo Enjoy OlliOlli World! I've been playing it since it launched and I love it. Right now I'm in the final stages of obtaining the platinum trophy and all I will say is it's really testing my skills.
Cotton Reboot gets its first discount,though not sure if I'm ready to take a dive in quite yet,($35 my neck of the woods). 🤔 Seem to recall the other Cotton ports had some issues even on ps5 much less ps4 from @JamieO review?
Timespinner well worth a go,& Turrican Flashback at a good price point,(shame the rest of the Anthology Pt 2 collection never got a digital release though)!😔
Sadly no Xeno Crisis,Battle Princess Madelyn or Sunset Riders even though they're 2019/2020 releases!
These sales really do be killing my wallet, lol. Especially these ones for indie games.
Assetto Corsa with all the DLC for £6.99?? Madness!
@Robocod I reviewed for Push Square two out of the five Cotton games that released on PS4 in 2021 (Cotton Reboot! and Mega Drive Panorama Cotton), and you're good to go with both games' performance if you decide to buy either of them – they're both only on PS4 and not on PS5 unfortunately, though.
Cotton Reboot! was solid from its release, and Panorama Cotton was patched, so just make sure you're playing the Version 1.01 update of the Mega Drive port.
Cotton Reboot! has 38% off to cost £21.69 in the PlayStation Indies sale in the UK, but its original price of £34.99 is admittedly at the higher end of shoot-'em-up games.
I enjoyed Cotton Reboot! enough to purchase a physical copy after I reviewed it, if that helps.
I've also included three especially cheap retro games below, which are tempting in the PlayStation Indies sale, so we have until Wednesday 23rd March to decide upon a spending spree
'PlayStation Indies' Sale Retro Games Under £3:
@JamieO G'day mate! Hadn't seen you on here in a while,good to hear the patches have improved things ...at least for the Cotton games you reviewed, thx for the update!👍
Been holding out for the rest of the Turrican collection (that released as Anthology volume 2), to get a digital release but no dice sadly!
Yep,those ININ/Strictly Limited game releases are always interesting...latest one being the Wonderboy Collection...just hate how certain extra games are paywalled behind the (limited) physical releases, but their pricing & shipping down under makes them tough to buy.
Had enough dramas playing Another World on Amiga much less trying it on gamepad! That said i did get Flashback a while back!😅
Still,hope you get to review the likes of the Wonderboy Collection & the TMNT Collection recently announced!!🤞
@Robocod G'day to you too, my friend!
I've got my eye on Strictly Limited Games' physical release of the Wonder Boy Anniversary Collection, as it's actually selling faster than I anticipated.
We're on the same page with our retro interests, because I'm also regularly checking on Strictly Limited's physical version of Turrican Anthology Vol. 2, because I'm intrigued about the Amiga version of Turrican 3.
In regards to the PlayStation Indies sale until the 23rd March, in the latest Load 230 issue of Retro Gamer there is a 'Retro Inspired' feature on the pixel art Metroidvania game Aggelos, which is currently a whopping 75% off at £3.24, when it should be £12.99.
The only thing I'm conscious about is watching my pennies a bit, because I want to get the A500 Mini fairly soon after it releases – this is considering that the A500 Mini is listed as either releasing in March or April in different shops in the UK.
@JamieO The A500 mini...yep, seeing it listed at about $200-230 my neck of the woods...don't like the cheap looking CD32 style controller & needing to plug in a keyboard to play games that needed it can get tricky. (Missed out on the C64maxi),but admit the plug it into you tv appeal,& covering OCS & AGA is a plus. Bit easier to find the adf's vs a Snes rom too!😅
Heard Aggelos was alright,albeit the lure of having the original older Wonderboy series,(loved the arcade original despite being slaughtered by it!),is tempting! Just disappointed they're offering 6 games in the Strictly Limited Games offering vs 4 in the retail versions. Albeit Monster Boy Cursed Kingdom & WB 3 Dragon's Trap are hard to top!👍
