While Amazon’s PS5 game deals are not too plentiful at the moment, there are a couple of noteworthy discounts, particularly in the realm of JRPGs. Atlus’ Soul Hackers 2 and Persona 5 Royal are both Megami Tensei spin-offs, although they are fairly different experiences. The former prioritizes combat and dungeon crawling, while the latter incorporates social sim sections. Both games are very long too, so they can keep someone engaged for potentially months. Although it garnered a somewhat mixed reception at launch, The Callisto Protocol is a good pick for survival horror fans looking for something akin to Dead Space. A Plague Tale: Requiem is the sequel to A Plague Tale: Innocence and a proper current-generation experience.
Some other PS5 Amazon discounts include Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Marvel’s Midnight Suns Enhanced Edition, Wreckfest, and Demon’s Souls. Amazon is also showing some love to the PS4, slashing the prices of games like Dark Souls Trilogy and Grand Theft Auto 5 Premium Edition.
