The Critics’ Choice Sale on PlayStation Network is worth a look

Catch up on last year’s games

Lots of deals on PlayStation Network at the moment. Sony has organized a sale on “acclaimed games from 2015,” as well as a handful of miscellaneous titles like The Banner Saga and Amplitude that PlayStation Plus members can save on.

The former group does indeed have some great games. I’d recommend Bloodborne, Tales from the Borderlands, and Until Dawn. The latter two surprised the hell out of me.

I’m thinking of getting Axiom Verge, Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture, or possibly both. Oh, and SOMA! I told myself I’d get it the last time it was discounted but that ended up being a lie. Time to make amends.

(Note: the prices on the right, marked in bold, are for PS Plus members. And it probably goes without saying, but all prices under the “PlayStation Plus Specials” heading are only for subscribers.)
