Alright, folks, let’s just dive right in! So, picture this: we’re smack in the middle of July, right? And guess what? PlayStation’s got this wild sale going on. Like, seriously, if you’re into PS5 or PS4, this is like candy land for gamers. And oh boy, there’s one game you really shouldn’t blink and miss.
#### So, Here’s the Deal with Returnal Being 58% Off. Crazy, Right?
Returnal. Ever heard of it? It’s from Housemarque. These guys really outdid themselves. And get this—it’s slashed by 58%! Usually, it’s pinned at $69.99, but now? Just $29.39. No kidding. If you’re into third-person shooters with a roguelike twist, well, maybe it’s time to give it a whirl. But heads up, this sweet deal ghosted as of July 17, 2:59 a.m. ET. Don’t say I didn’t warn ya.

Okay, so the gist—Selene crash-lands on this wacky alien planet. Every time she kicks the bucket, she’s back to square one. The planet morphs, her gear morphs—it’s all about keeping you on your toes. Sort of like trying to keep up with a toddler in a candy store—new surprises around every corner!
Let’s take a step back in history: 2021. Returnal drops and people are buzzing. On Metacritic? Scores a neat 86! Not too shabby, right? Awards flying all over: Best Action Game at The Game Awards and some snazzy audio accolades at the 25th Annual D.I.C.E. Awards. Was I prouder than when I mastered baking sourdough in lockdown? Almost.
And if you’re wondering what we thought, it was a massive two thumbs up. A perfect 10 outta 10. No joke. They took this rogue-like, bullet-dodging chaos and wrapped it up in this AAA package. Familiar but fresh. It’s like re-watching your favorite movie, except somehow, they changed the ending. Keeps you guessing. Always. Anyway, if you’ve got a PS5, it’s a must. Trust me on this one.
