Demon's Souls: was $69 now $29 @ Amazon
Demon's Souls was one of the first games on PS5, and it's still one of the best almost three years later. In this ultra-difficult action/RPG, you'll create a character and set out to conquer the deadly dungeons and towering bosses of Boletaria. You may have already played this game on the PS3, but the remake is much smoother.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora: was $69 now $34 @ Amazon
One of 2023's most pleasant surprises, Avatar Frontiers of Pandora doesn't switch up the Ubisoft open-world formula seen in games like Assassin's Creed and Far Cry. But the alien setting of Pandora makes everything feel brand new, and it's one of the most visually impressive games on PS5. Even if you're not enamored with the Avatar movies you just might be surprised by this one.

God of War Ragnarok: was $69 now $39 @Best Buy
This modern classic takes you on a mythical quest for answers and allies before the end of days arrives.

Venture through nine realms towards the prophesied battle to bring about Ragnarok. With $30 off the normal price, there is no better time to face the end of the Norse world. 

Marvel's Spider-Man 2: was $69 now $49 @ Amazon
The highly anticipated sequel to PS4's exclusive Spider-Man game, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 lived up to the hype. It sees Peter Parker and Miles Morales team up to take down a whole new set of fearsome foes including Kraven the Hunter and Venom. Master new powers, and explore new areas of NYC in the biggest superhero game Insomniac has made to date. Spider-Man 2 is a stunning showcase of the PS5.  

Rise of the Rōnin: was 69 now $49 @ Amazon
Set in 19th-century Japan during the Boshin War, Rise of the Rōnin comes from developer Team Ninja and blends a sizeable open world, a choice-driven narrative and engaging combat. Designed to take full advantage of the PS5, it also offers impressive visuals, speedy loading times and full support for the console's DualSense controller. That's pretty much all the ingredients needed for a must-play PS5 game. 

Death Stranding Director's Cut: was $59 now $29 @ PlayStation Store
Death Stranding comes from the mind of visionary game director Hideo Kojima, and this Director's Cut expands the PS4 original with new content and quality of life tweaks. You play Sam Porter Bridges, a futuristic courier in a post-apocalyptic society, and it's your job to transverse rocky mountains and rushing rivers as you look to reconnect what's left of society. Just be prepared for a puzzling narrative and a whole lot of walking. 

Cult of the Lamb: was $24 now $14 @ PlayStation Store
Cult of the Lamb is a critically acclaimed roguelike that sees you venture into five distinctive regions to defeat powerful enemies and grow your following. In this kooky indie game, your ultimate goal is to build a powerful cult to repay a debt to the deity that saved your life, and the free Sins of the Flesh expansion adds even more content including fresh customization options, new progression systems and more weapons to aid you. You've probably never played a game as brilliantly weird as this one.
