Oh man, you ever dive into those PlayStation Store sales? It’s like treasure hunting, but with way more button-clicking and far less dirt under the nails. So, here we are in the middle of July, and these sales are a bit nuts — I mean, who doesn’t love a good deal? One game that’s been sticking out like a sore thumb is this PS5 exclusive I just can’t get out of my head.
### Returnal is Seriously Marked Down — Grab It While You Can!
So, here’s the scoop. Returnal — yeah, that mind-bending game from Housemarque — is sitting at a crazy 58% off. Quick math tells me it’s down to $29.39 instead of the usual $69.99. No idea why I remember that exact number, but there it is. If you’re into roguelike third-person shooters (try saying that five times fast), get moving because this offer fizzles out like a damp sparkler right after July 17 at some unspeakably early hour.
Picture this — crash-landing on some alien planet that can’t decide what it wants to be when it grows up. There’s Selene, our protagonist, stuck in a loop of survival. Every time she bites the dust, she’s back at square one. It reminds me of how I can never seem to escape Monday mornings — no matter what, they return.
Back in 2021, everyone was raving about this game. No joke, it snagged a bunch of eye-catching reviews. Metacritic had it chilling at an 86 from 115 critics. And let’s not forget those awards — Best Action Game at The Game Awards or something like that, plus some accolade for Audio Design at D.I.C.E.
Our review was all, “This is it, people, a must-have for your PS5 journey.” We slapped a 10 out of 10 on it. Not sure if it was the coffee talking, but we were blown away. There’s something in the way it mixes this rogue-like mayhem with AAA flair — makes you feel on edge, in a good way.
Anyway, I’m getting sidetracked. Returnal’s this playground for narrative explorers and daredevils alike. If you’re in the mood for surprises that keep on giving, maybe give it a try before the clock runs out. Or not. Your call.
