The PlayStation Store is stacked right now with not one, but two major events — the ongoing Halloween Sale and the brand-new Planet of the Discounts Sale. This lineup brings several titles down to their lowest prices ever, making it one of the better moments to grab games on your radar. From Cronos: The New Dawn to Doom: The Dark Ages, here’s a look at the highlights worth adding to your library (or wish list).
Bloober Team Titles Shine: Cronos and Observer at Record Lows
The first standout deal is Cronos: The New Dawn, from Bloober Team, discounted 15% off at $51. Though it’s a modest markdown, this sci-fi survival horror entry didn’t get the attention it deserved. The developers — known for The Medium, Observer: System Redux, and the Silent Hill 2 Remake — have proven capable of crafting eerie, atmospheric experiences.
Cronos: The New Dawn delivers a time-travel-driven story wrapped in haunting design and solid technical execution. While it’s a bit challenging, it’s ideal for players craving a short, focused horror adventure around 15 hours long. If the current price feels steep, wishlist it — it’s the kind of game that could easily hit PlayStation Plus in a future Halloween rotation.
Meanwhile, Observer: System Redux sits at a historic low of $7.49. Its futuristic thriller narrative still holds up, and the visual overhaul gives it new life. The cyber-noir aesthetic and narrative tension make it one of Bloober Team’s most underrated releases.
Yakuza Spin-Offs and JRPG Deep Cuts Dominate Discounts
For Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio fans, Like a Dragon: Ishin! is down 80% to $1.99 — but take note, it’s leaving PlayStation Plus Extra next month. It’s a samurai-era reimagining of the Yakuza formula and absolutely worth snagging before it cycles out.
Another notable drop is Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, currently 45% off for $33. The game offers a wild tropical spin-off with Goro Majima as a main character, and while it doesn’t drastically evolve the overall saga, it’s packed with the charm fans expect.
JRPG collectors can also celebrate with The Legend of Heroes: Trails into Reverie Deluxe Edition at 50% off for $45. This entry caps off the massive first half of the Trails saga — but it’s not for newcomers. The interconnected arcs of Trails in the Sky, Trails from Zero, Trails to Azure, and the Trails of Cold Steel quadrilogy all build toward this conclusion, making it an essential entry for those fully invested in Falcom’s long-running epic.
Platformers and Classics: Shinobi, Trials, and Legacy of Kain
Shinobi: Art of Vengeance – Digital Deluxe Edition slices down 25% to $29.99. Developed by the team behind Streets of Rage 4, it blends fast-paced combat with a nostalgic feel. The Villains Stage DLC adds crossovers featuring Dr. Eggman and Goro Majima — an awesome touch for Sega fans.
If you prefer a more casual experience, Trials Fusion is a great throwback for $3.99. Its classic platform-racing chaos still feels satisfying years later.
Retro fans can also dive into Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered, now 50% off for $14.99. The remaster, released late last year, sharpens the visuals while maintaining the gothic tone that defined the originals. It’s a nostalgic trip that’s easy to recommend at this price.
Big Budget Highlights: Doom, Kingdom Come, and More
Doom: The Dark Ages drops 33% to $46.89, offering a darker, medieval twist on id Software’s classic FPS formula. While opinions differ on its narrative focus, the gameplay remains tight, brutal, and expertly tuned.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance II – Gold Edition is 40% off for $54, bundling all DLC. It’s visually stunning and historically grounded, but its complex combat system divides players — some love the realism, others bounce off it entirely. Still, fans of immersive sims will find a lot to appreciate.
Lastly, The Ascent sits at 80% off for $5.99, and Amnesia: The Bunker is down to $4.99. Both are solid additions for players seeking atmospheric, mid-budget experiences.
Smaller Favorites: Dredge, Life is Strange, and Gotham Knights
Dredge hits $9.99, a solid pickup if eerie fishing adventures are your thing. Life is Strange Remastered Collection at $11.99 includes both the original and Before the Storm, a nice bundle for narrative fans.
Even Gotham Knights – Deluxe Edition finds itself worth a mention at $8.99. Despite its 30 FPS limit on PS5, the cooperative Gotham adventure feels fair value at this deep discount — just don’t expect Batman: Arkham Knight-level polish.
