PS5, PS4 Hidden Gem First-Party Game Available at 67% Off on PS Store

Ah, video games. I always get sidetracked when I think about them. Anyway, let’s dive into this whole PlayStation Store thing. Seems like they’re always churning out these crazy good deals. And right now, there’s this Sony game — you know, one of those that came out with the PS5. Classic, right?

Okay, so here’s the scoop: “Sackboy: A Big Adventure” — yeah, that adorable little knitted dude game — is like, 67% off right now. Math isn’t my strong suit, but that means the price drops to $19.79 from its full sticker price of $59.99. Not bad, huh? You’ll want to jump on this deal pronto, though, because it’s vanishing like your memory of what you had for breakfast. Ends July 3, at some crack-of-dawn time — 2:59 a.m. ET, to be exact. But who’s up that early? Night owls, maybe? That’s not me.

The game’s got this blurb talking about thrilling and unpredictable challenges and some wildly unique hand-crafted lands — sounds like something you’d daydream about if you were stuck in an all-day meeting. Solo races against the clock or teaming up with buddies to face some knitted menace called Vex. I mean, saving Craftworld sounds like a good time, doesn’t it? Or maybe just an excuse to procrastinate.

When it hit back in 2020 (weird year, right?), it scored 79 on Metacritic. I’m no stats guru, but that doesn’t sound too shabby. Heck, in our own corner of review-ville, we slapped a perfect 10 on this thing. We were totally smitten by its charm and detail. Apparently, while it drifts away from the usual DIY level building of LittleBigPlanet, Sackboy somehow climbs — or swings? — to new heights. And those graphics on PS5? Let’s just say you might find yourself staring at the screen like it owes you money.

Oh, and before I forget (which I do more often than I care to admit), if you snag the game, don’t miss the free costumes on the PS Store. They’re cute — I mean, really cute. Like, “You almost feel a bit silly for thinking pixels could be this adorable” kind of cute. And free’s a nice price, isn’t it?

So there you have it. Go get your Sackboy adventure on, or not. Hey, it’s your call — but don’t say I didn’t warn you if you miss out.
