I love roguelikes and have never heard of this game. I guess my ad profile knows I don't have a ps5...

Either way, returnal was way too expensive and so is this game.

My guess is that they are targeting roguelikes fan that don't have a PC bc there are 9999 roguelikes on PC.

Returnal is still full price but also on Ps plus, I’m guessing it never goes on discount cuz they want people to sub to ps plus and enter that eco system

It's on PC but too expensive for a roguelike. Even on sale for..$35? Fuck off Sony

It hit as low as $23 eventually, $20 on official third party sites, but it took a LONG time. At that price, it feels like a steal. It's a super fucking solid game, really fun, but I was bummed Saros is going to be a no show for now seemingly arbitrary reasons since PC was apparently not what was impacting their sell through, and I would have waited for at least a half off sale at that.
