I'm going to go out on a limb with a hot take. Housemarque's 2021 hit Returnal is the best game on the PS5 so far. If I'm completely honest, I very comfortably fall into the camp that would argue there aren't enough PS5 games - and by that I mean original, truly next-gen feeling games made specifically for the console. Of course, there are great third-party offerings, and there are some great first-party sequels to PS4 games, but I'm not sure any of those feel distinct enough from what came before to truly argue they're PS5 games.
Returnal is one of very few first-party exclusive games that understood the PS5 assignment, in my opinion. And that's coming from a guy who usually dislikes roguelikes. Returnal has it all, from using haptic feedback and trigger resistance cleverly, to a structure that feels narratively relevant, to making something that caters to a PlayStation player base that's getting a little older. Thanks to Prime Day, you can get this truly exceptional video game for only $29.99 at Amazon (was $69.99).
Put it this way, Returnal is a game so good that Sony pretty much immediately bought the studio that made it after it was released. If you're yet to sample it, now is a fantastic time. We don't often see first-party exclusives like this drop in price to this extent, and this Prime Day PS5 deal means its only $3 off its lowest-ever price at Amazon.
Returnal | $69.99 $29.99 at Amazon
Save $40 - This third-person, bullet hell, action-adventure isn't far off its lowest-ever price at Amazon. Digital sales on the PlayStation store aren't usually this kind to us - especially when it comes to exclusives. If you're one of those PS5 owners who's wondering where all the games are, this is a great opportunity to try something new.
