Summer’s here and, oh boy, the PS Store is going wild with their sale! I stumbled upon this and honestly, it’s like finding a forgotten snack in the back of the fridge. You know, the kinda sweet surprise that makes you go, "Why didn’t I notice this before?" Anyway, the sale is slashing prices on some top-tier PS4 and PS5 games. One that’s catching everyone’s eyes? A mind-bending adventure from 2019 that flirted heavily with Game of the Year status.
Outer Wilds: A Space Mystery on a Budget? Heck Yeah!
So, if you haven’t heard of Mobius Digital’s Outer Wilds, where have you been? Just kidding. But seriously, it’s this trippy, space-exploration, first-person wonderland. Right now, you can snag it for 40% less dough on the PS Store. That’s $14.99 instead of the usual $24.99. It’s like getting extra toppings on your pizza without the extra charge. But don’t dawdle! This sweet deal wraps up on July 31st at an exact 2:59 a.m. ET. Why such an odd time? No clue. Maybe they’ve got reasons, maybe not.
The game’s pitch goes something like this: You’re the new kid on the block for Outer Wilds Ventures. Picture a rookie in a shiny new space program or something. There are mysteries galore, like what’s with that creepy Dark Bramble place? Who the heck built those weird alien structures on the Moon? Plus, there’s this pesky endless time loop. Fun, huh?
Oh, and if you dig Outer Wilds (and who wouldn’t?), the DLC Echoes of the Eye is also marked down. It’s going for $9.89, a neat 34% off. It’s like another layer on a cake you didn’t know you needed.
When this gem first hit the shelves, critics were all over it. Over at Metacritic, folks gave it a solid 85 from 29 reviews. Not too shabby, right? And it didn’t just stop there — award shows couldn’t get enough. It nabbed Best Game at the British Academy Games Awards, Best Indie Game at the Golden Joystick Awards, and even a Design accolade at the Independent Games Festival Awards. It was like that cool kid everyone wanted to be friends with at a party.
So, swing by the PS Store and grab a deal before it’s old news. Wouldn’t wanna live with FOMO this summer, right?
