But it’s worth it for Wonder Boy alone
Sony has gone all-in on PlayStation flash sales these past couple years, and if there are any signs that the now-regularly-scheduled deals are going to simmer down in 2019, I’m not seeing them.
This weekend’sPS4, PS3, and Vita flash salepromises “deals under $20,” a fine concept that regrettably falls short when it comes to game selection. Minus a handful of overlooked gems worth highlighting, it’s the same old tired stuff. (Rest assured, friends,Murdered: Soul Suspectis back down to four bucks.)
Considering we just went through a month-long series of holiday sales, I’m not surprised.
Above all, anyone who got a kick out ofMonster Boy and the Cursed Kingdomshould seek out the similarly excellentWonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trapfor $9.99 — both games put a huge smile on my face.
Metroidvania champHollow Knight, which is on sale for $9.89, could always use more affection. And let’s not continue forgetting aboutRock of Ages 2, a game in which you roll boulders while learning art history. It’s only $5.99. Other picks include PlayStation VR’s thrilling tactical team shooterFirewall: Zero Hour($19.99),Ys Origin($9.99), and a cracked plastic tub full of assorted LEGO video games.
On the PS3/Vita front, you can feel bittersweet nostalgia withDino Crisisand its sequel for $3 a pop.
