PlayStationās Mega March sale is currently available on PS4 and PS5 (sorry, fellow Vita owners) and has some great deals on older games, especially stuff from the 2010s. If youāre looking for something to play and donāt want to break the bank, I have some perfect picks to add to your library.
The discounts of up to 75 percent off run until March 26 on the PlayStation Store. A bunch of games are currently only $5 as a result. Here are 11 Iād recommend:
Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order
Dishonored Definitive Edition
Hotline Miami Collection
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
Atomicrops
Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition
Little Nightmares
SteamWorld Heist
Contra Anniversary Collection
Darkest Dungeon
Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor is a mash-up Tolkien-flavored fantasy and Assassinās Creed gameplay that goes surprisingly well together, thanks in large part to the clever nemesis system (RIP Monolith Studios) via which orcs who manage to kill you get promoted and become stronger over time and will reference your past encounters, leading to entertaining emergent storytelling moments. Also the gameās second area shows Mordor at its most beautiful, with a pre-war lushness that would soon be replaced by scorched earth as Sauron redecorated the place.
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is another standout blockbuster from last gen. The immersive sim is better than its initial reception by reviewers and players alike suggested. It has some beautiful cyberpunk sandboxes to explore, and the stealth gameplay holds up really well, too. Unfortunately, weāre probably not getting another Deus Ex game anytime soon, either.
You canāt go wrong with any of the others, many of which offer more bite-sized genre experiences in roguelikes (Atomicrops), Metroidvanias (Guacamelee!), horror-lite adventures (Little Nightmares), RPGs (Darkest Dungeon), and others. Can you believe itās been 10 years since Hotline Miami 2 came out? Iām adding it to my backlog now before the 20th anniversary sneaks up me.
