Just gonna dive right in here, okay? Bear with me ’cause this might get a little bumpy. So, we’re smack dab in the middle of July. Can you believe it? Time flies, especially when you’ve got those sweet PlayStation deals calling your name. They’ve slashed prices like nobody’s business. Ever felt like you’re in a candy store but, like, with video games? Yeah, that’s happening.
### Returnal — Big Savings Alert!
Anyway — oh wait, jumping ahead. Let’s talk about this game, “Returnal.” So, Housemarque made this wild ride, and right now, it’s 58% off. That’s a big fat price drop from $69.99 down to $29.39. Honestly, do what you will with your money, but I’d say buy it before this deal goes poof on July 17, 2:59 a.m. ET. Procrastinators, you’ve been warned.
I remember hearing about “Returnal” when it first came out in 2021—seems like centuries ago, really. It’s one of those games where if you die? Boom, start over. Again and again. Something about crash-landing on an alien planet with a shape-shifty vibe. Selene, the heroine, just can’t catch a break. Or maybe she can, later, who knows. It’s all roguelike-y with ever-changing gear and challenges. Keeps you on your toes, I guess.
When it launched, folks were going on about how amazing it was. Metacritic had it at 86. Not too shabby with 115 critic reviews. Yeah, awards happened. It grabbed Best Action Game at The Game Awards 2021. And some Audio Design award at the D.I.C.E. Awards. Pretty impressive, right?
I think we said something like, “Absolutely, you must have this for PS5” in our review. Gave it a perfect score, a solid 10 out of 10. Seems we were a bit blown away by how it mashed up rogue-like bullet-hell with those big-budget vibes. Keeps you guessing and thrilled at every twist and turn. It’s like a wild symphony of chaos and narrative. Or something.
Okay, I’m rambling now. But seriously, give Returnal a whirl if you haven’t. Sales like these are rare gems.
