PlayStation Store, the best offers of January 2023

What are the best deals on PlayStation Store available at January 2023 for buying PS5 and PS4 games? The January Discounts have started on the Sony digital platform for a few days, a promotion that allows you to buy many titles at really interesting figures, and as usual we are here to show you which opportunities are not to be missed.

From the atmosphere of Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut to the alternate worlds of Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, from the frenetic races of Need for Speed ​​Unbound to the dramatic storytelling of A Plague’s Tale: Requiem, from the spectacular battles of Returnal to the humor of Return to Monkey Island, let’s find out all the news that you can take home at the lowest price ever!

Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut

It is not the first time that Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut reaches €39.99 instead of €79.99, but it is in any case the cheapest figure ever for the extraordinary action adventure signed by Sucker Punch, available in this case in the double version PS5 and PS4 which includes not only all the technical improvements of the case (specifically, 4K at 60 fps on the new Sony console), but also the Iki Island expansion.

It is a valuable content, capable of adding a good ten hours to the experience and involving us in a particularly interesting story, which explores Jin Sakai’s past in the place where the man lost his father. In addition to new settingsalso in this case particularly suggestive, the island also sees the presence of new and powerful opponents, such as shamans for example, capable of instilling energy in all enemies, thus increasing the difficulty of the clashes.

Then obviously there is the base game, which we talked about abundantly in the Ghost of Tsushima review: an adventure characterized by an artistic behavior of great depth, with a large, freely explorable open world which immediately reveals itself full of things to do and see between main and secondary missions, increasingly stronger opponents and a progression that will see the protagonist absolutely determined to avenge the invasion of his land.

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart

Lowest price ever also for Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, which thanks to the January Discounts comes off at €39.99 instead of €79.99: a 50% reduction this time too (it had already been offered in November and in December ) but absolutely interesting for those who have been putting off buying the excellent title developed by Insomniac Games in exclusive to PlayStation 5.

Visually amazing thanks to the different graphic modes, the use of ray tracing and the mechanics of portals, which instantly projects the characters in completely different places, Rift Apart presents itself as a very rich experience, almost perfect for all users, regardless of whether whether or not they know the Sony series. We talked about this and more in the Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart review.

Need for Speed ​​Unbound

In the review of Need for Speed ​​Unbound we expressed some perplexities about the latest episode of the famous Electronic Arts series, which however has a bit divided the critics and the public between those who liked it so much and those who didn’t. When in doubt, the game is currently on offer for €47.99 instead of €79.99: this is the first discount and therefore the lowest price ever for the street art-inspired racing game.

Characterized by a structure that resumes the alternation day / night introduced with Heat, Need for Speed ​​Unbound tells the usual story of betrayal and revenge in the clandestine racing environment, but it does so using cel shading for the characters, as well as proposing dialogues made even more pleasant and amusing by an excellent Italian dubbing. Once on the road, however, the elastic effect typical of the series returns to be felt…

A Plague Tale: Requiem

Amicia and Hugo’s latest spectacular adventure against the backdrop of medieval Europe reaches an all-time low on PS5 thanks to the January Discounts: €44.99 instead of €59.99, therefore a 25% reduction which undoubtedly facilitates the purchase if you are waiting for a promotion before proceeding to purchase the game. Purchase that we warmly recommend, as you will have read in our review of A Plague Tale: Requiem.

The guys from Asobo Studio have in fact enriched the original stealth formula with many new mechanics and situations; but above all they were able to lead us on an epic journey together with the two protagonists and some interesting supporting actors, towards a mysterious island where the key seems to be found to heal little Hugo from the plague that torments him and which brings death and destruction with him with his swarm of rats.

Returnal

Coming soon to PC too, Returnal still remains one of the most interesting titles in the PS5 catalog today: a third person shooter with an roguelikes set in an alien world that changes every time we return from the dead, trapped in a loop that we will have to try to break to find a possible way out, playing the role of a cunning astronaut who hasn’t lost the will to fight yet.

The price of €39.99 instead of €79.99 is the lowest the game has ever touched and undoubtedly represents an excellent opportunity to recover this experience, capable of combining frenzy, challenge, spectacularity and twists in one unique, very solid solution, confirming the talent and skill of the developers of Housemarque. More details in the Returnal review.

Return to Monkey Island

First discount and lowest price ever also for Return to Monkey Island, which at €19.99 instead of €24.99 must certainly be purchased, especially if you are a fan of this historic series and were just waiting to dispose of some backlog before to embark on the new adventure of Guybrush Threepwood, also written in this case by the creators of the franchise, Ron Gilbert and Dave Grossman.

The result of such efforts is an excellent comebackas confirmed by our review of Return to Monkey Island: the new chapter re-proposes the brilliance of the classics, that humor so particular and hilarious that however does not forget the depth of some themes, accompanying everything with graphics with a peculiar and spot-on style: difficult to imagine better for a similar project.
