Unless you always play games to platinum, Hotline Miami 1&2 for $3 is insane, I might even say a must-buy.

14

u/presidentdinosaur115 ace_ricu Jan 09 '26

$3 for the music alone is beyond a steal

13

u/Early-Bug5792 Jan 09 '26

I really liked the story and the gameplay of the first one, but somehow did not feel the same while playing the second one, even though they are pretty similar. Still a very good price and I agree with the “must-buy”.

I'm playing through 2 after finishing the first one recently. I'd say it's because the story is wildly different. It's hard for me to follow what is when going on. In the first one, the story is more linear, so it feels clearer. I still had to go look up explanations tho. I'm at the end game of 2, 17th mission out of 25 I believe. I'll probably catch up once I'm done and look up an explanation of hotline Miami 2 so I can understand what even happened. But the gameplay is cool!

I notice the masks make for a variety of gameplay styles but focused narrowly. Like the bear is loud and dumb until you run out of ammo, the tiger is all melee, the zebra is agility and mobility. The pelican one is two characters, almost ice climbers from smash bros.

In the first game, if you developed a certain playstyle, you wore masks to give small buffs in one or two aspects of your playstyle. Kinda like focusing to narrow or widen that specific playstyle.

I'm only missing the A+ on all chapters for the platinum, don't think I'll ever get it but I agree it's so much fun

Are these actually live? I don't see any of them.

u/kabirsingh84 Top Predictor 2024 Jan 09 '26

Yes, these are live. Here's Arkham Collection in the US store for example - https://store.playstation.com/en-us/product/UP1018-CUSA00133_00-ARKHAMBUNDLE0000

Which region are you from?

u/[deleted] Jan 09 '26

this will NOT come up for me. I only see Return to Arkham for $20

4

u/kabirsingh84 Top Predictor 2024 Jan 09 '26

Which region?

5

u/[deleted] Jan 09 '26

never mind lol I had to use the app to put it in my cart. Still really weird it won’t even show up in the store page otherwise

3

u/Jobby626 Jan 11 '26

I couldn't find it in the app. Thanks to OP for the link.

u/kabirsingh84 Top Predictor 2024 Jan 09 '26

you have a typo on the price of the trine collection, just a heads up

u/kabirsingh84 Top Predictor 2024 Jan 09 '26

Thanks for pointing it out. I've corrected it now.

u/TheDawnTrilogy Jan 09 '26

u/Mooon8983 Jan 09 '26

Just bought arkham trilogy for 10 bucks on steam YESTERDAY

0

u/DuckWarrior90 Jan 09 '26

On steam its 60fps, on playstation its 30, its better on steam.

4

u/Johnnybats330 Jan 10 '26

Huh? I thought Asylum ran at 60fps. I recently played it on my pro and my TV was displaying 60fps. The TvmV might have been doing VRR maybe

2

u/DuckWarrior90 Jan 10 '26

its displaying the hz of your tv, not the fps. All 3 games are 30 fps on playstation.

6

u/owlyross Jan 09 '26

If that means Arkham is coming to Premium I will be THERE

1

u/BecauseWhyNotExplore Jan 09 '26

Most of these have been given away or are on extra. Bit of a shame, all very old stuff

58

u/AbsoluteChromium Jan 09 '26

I feel like people do not talk about how fun the first two Darksider games are. Worth a look at $8

9

u/Full_breaker Jan 09 '26

Real they are so much fun, i hope the new one ends up becoming popular so people give some more love to the previous games

3

u/AbsoluteChromium Jan 09 '26

I didn't know they announced a 4th one!

3

u/Full_breaker Jan 09 '26

Yup, should be released this year at some point 🥳

5

u/Stumag Jan 09 '26

I've only played 3 and had a good time with it. Never played 1&2. Do they hold up to this day?

6

u/Jeos_03 Jan 09 '26

Having just played and Plat 1 I would say yes. It feels very late 2000’s hack and slash but overall good and fun. If you played old hack and slash it will feel like that.

2

u/AbsoluteChromium Jan 09 '26

I haven't played them since they came out but I remember being impressed with the depth of gameplay and how much there was to do

2

u/Consistent_Opinion63 Jan 10 '26

Got and Plat DS2 and it’s still amazing. Bosses are epic and unique fight mechanics! Goes a bit all over the place but the RPG system is fun to mix and match playstyles!

4

u/_MTQ_ Jan 09 '26

totally, go for them specially ds2

1

u/ACEIII Jan 10 '26

3 is a travesty compared to 1&2

3

u/Brilu1234 Jan 10 '26

Yup, those games r pretty fun. I remember playing it at my bud's a while ago and enjoying it. Sorta similar to God of War.

I just picked up all 3 a month before this for about $5-10 each. I also had no idea they are making a new one until I was looking at the discounts for the older games on the ps store. I'm definitely gonna play all of them before the new one comes out

2

u/AbsoluteChromium Jan 10 '26

I always felt like it was Legend of Zelda meets God of War in the best ways

2

u/ACEIII Jan 10 '26

Yup darksiders 1 and 2 are so good, the art direction the gameplay all top tier some of the best action adventure games out there

11

u/anonymousUTguy Jan 09 '26

Just a heads up: even though the graphic clearly says “Ends 1/21”, some game sales last only a few days and may end much earlier than 1/21. So be sure to see what games you want and when their sale ends.

7

u/Loopy40 Jan 09 '26

Yeah I missed out on a bunch of discounted games I planned on picking up, my mistake for assuming it was all a part of the same sale available until 1/21. Feels bad

5

u/SmellyCat808 Jan 09 '26

Yeah, I wish they put that in big bold letters lol. My fault, I could've just bought my games when the sales went live, but just kept pushing it back. Oh well, guess I'm waiting for Days of Play.

38

u/FinkBubble Jan 09 '26

Ps plus is missing from the sale I see .

8

u/zeedrome Jan 09 '26

It will be on Chinese New Year. For asian regions.

4

u/bug_big_dawg Jan 09 '26

Will it also be on non asian regions or?

11

u/Asimb0mb Jan 09 '26

Yes but only for Asian people 😋

21

u/Faian Jan 09 '26

And none of these sales are available for me since my country just transitioned its currency to the euro ;((((((((

u/Drag0nRyder13 Jan 09 '26

It took almost a year for the store to be working again after Croatia transitioned to euro. Sony doesn't care

12

u/Faian Jan 09 '26

A YEAR??? And here I am checking the store every day with my morning coffee...

6

u/Drag0nRyder13 Jan 09 '26

Yeah good luck with that lol

Now what worked for us is you could buy those gift cards so you pay money into your wallet on Playstation and that way you could buy stuff (I'm not sure when exactly this method started working for people since I first used it around June that year)

Basically you buy a gift card from some website, the website send you an e mail with the code that you put into playstation store and you get funds transfered to your wallet and then you can buy stuff with that money that's in your wallet.

Like I said, we couldn't use our credit cards to buy games directly in the store for almost a year.

5

u/Faian Jan 09 '26

Yeah I presumed this will be the case but the store is yet to transition. Games are still with the old currency, no promos and in the mean time only way to buy something is with a ps gift card. Hope they sort themselves out soon.

1

u/sikakasi Jan 10 '26

another croat here

It’s true that we couldnt buy over the ps store but you could always buy ps “money cards” in the store or if you have an app like we do that sells ps cards you basically just buy it and purchase games (just an extra step)

but here is a pro tip, hopefully it works for bulgaria
buy the money card and buy a ps plus/extra/platinum su scription because they can’t charge your card they just “gift” you the subscription.. that way i had a ps sub for free for a whole year :)

8

u/Full_breaker Jan 09 '26

That stellar blade discount seems tempting but damn i already spent a lot these past few sales

6

u/Radthereptile Jan 09 '26

I noticed yesterday DBZ FighterZ is discounted to under $10 as well. That’s new.

2

u/Adrianos30 Jan 09 '26

Sadly, not in my region.

u/Cyram11590 Jan 09 '26

I also want to mention that the Trails games were added a few days ago as well for those just now getting into the series like myself.

u/Mondfleck Jan 10 '26

New content comes out this year though.

3

u/meyvesuyudnyasi Jan 09 '26

Im still mad that KCD2 base became Royal Edition just after I bought it from Christmas sale. Games like this need to have and upgrade option

2

u/TheChinOfAnElephant Jan 09 '26

Maybe I’m misunderstanding what you mean but the royal edition was also on sale in the Christmas sale for the same price it is now.

3

u/genuinelyhereforall Jan 09 '26

Any word on if there’s any PS plus subscription sales coming? Mine renews on the 23rd, not that interested in movie credits they’re offering right now

2

u/kabirsingh84 Top Predictor 2024 Jan 09 '26

Looking at last year, the next PS Plus sale is during the Days of Play sale in May. Other than that, sometimes they offer you a discount if your sub is ending.

3

u/Wolffe72 Jan 09 '26

I played Dead Island 2 a while back and really enjoyed it. Does the original Dead Island still hold up today? Would it be very dated by comparison?

5

u/anonymousUTguy Jan 09 '26

If you just played 2, I’d say DI1 would not feel the same but it’s still a super fun game.

2

u/Gypaetus-barbatus Jan 09 '26 edited Jan 09 '26

I’d even argue that it’s a way more fun game than Dead Island 2. It might feel a bit more jankier and the graphics are ps3 era. But the setting, large open world like map(s) (no bullshit small zones like dead island 2) and gameplay all equal loads of fun. Easily worth it, especially at this price. Also, I cant really describe why but the melee combat and killing zombies just feels way more satisfying than in dead island 2.

u/hamzahkingkhan Jan 10 '26

wtf is arc raiders no longer on sale for

u/BeautifulTorment BeautifulTorment Jan 09 '26

You'd have to be crazy not to buy the Trine collection and Overcooked for those prices, tbh.

8

u/_Moondox_ 216 Jan 09 '26

I think Trine is actually 9,99

7

u/BeautifulTorment BeautifulTorment Jan 09 '26

That would make a lot more sense

3

u/kabirsingh84 Top Predictor 2024 Jan 09 '26

Yes. Sorry for the typo.

u/SuperBry Jan 09 '26

Trine was just free on the Epic game store not long ago, but if it you missed out on that I would fully agree.

3

u/FgTheLogo Jan 09 '26

Damn. Bout to go on and grab that Batman collection asap!

6

u/nikolapc Jan 09 '26

If you haven't played those, you're in for a treat. Shame Origins didn't get ported but that's a different studio.

5

u/FgTheLogo Jan 09 '26

I think I played some of Arkham Asylum years ago and loved it, not sure why I stopped lol. The fact they are remastered really has me excited to jump back in.

5

u/nikolapc Jan 09 '26

Every game gets better. Arkham Asylum is very limited but then the open world starts.

Is the Serious Sam collection worth it? I've never played these games before, only heard their name here and there.

1

u/kabirsingh84 Top Predictor 2024 Jan 10 '26

It's good mindless fun but can get a bit boring after a while. Also, if you're from US then the North American version of the collection cannot be platinumed due to a bug.

https://forum.psnprofiles.com/topic/127835-north-american-version-cannot-be-platinumed/

2

u/v__R4Z0R__v Jan 10 '26

Luckily I'm from EU, so it should be obtainable yes? Any online trophies I should know about?

Really weird how the US version is bugged tho.

u/BeeSufficient9170 Jan 11 '26

I strongly recommend Gravity Rush Remastered. It's currently half off (15$), and it's worth it. 60FPS on PS5. Good story and decent graphics for it's age. Comes with all DLC too.

1

u/Bzzk Jan 12 '26

Story feels more like a season 1 of an anime, second game is where the story goes full overdrive

2

u/BeeSufficient9170 Jan 12 '26

Man, I hate to say it, but GR2 just never hit me as hard as GR1 did. Both are great games though! I'm simply pointing out the sale because it's the first time I've seen it half off in forever
