Alright, so, here’s the thing. I was browsing through the PlayStation Store the other day—again, not sure why I always end up there—and stumbled upon these summer sales they’re having. Wild, right? They’ve got some pretty sweet deals on PS4 and PS5 games. You know how you’re just scrolling and then bam! Something just catches your eye? Yeah, that’s how I felt when I saw this hidden gem. Everybody’s talking about it, and honestly, why wouldn’t they?
Okay, let’s just dive into it: Spiritfarer: Farewell Edition—a game from Thunder Lotus Games—is up there with a whopping 85% off. Seriously, it’s just $4.49 now, from like $29.99. But, here’s the kicker, people: this sweet deal vanishes on July 17 at precisely 2:59 a.m. ET. Who even sets deadlines like that? But hey, I’m just the messenger.
So, what’s Spiritfarer all about? Picture this: A cozy management game that’s all about—you guessed it—death! Yeah, sounds heavy, right? But it’s somehow lighthearted. You play as Stella, the ferrymaster for the dead, and your trusty sidekick is a cat named Daffodil. I mean, come on, who doesn’t love a good cat companion? You build a boat, explore, and meet spirits. There’s farming, mining, even cooking—like a virtual life simulator for the afterlife. It’s kinda poetic, really.
Back in 2020, everyone was raving about it. Metacritic gave it a solid 84. Not too shabby, huh? And over on Steam? Overwhelmingly Positive. People dig it. It even got some nods at The Game Awards 2020 and, get this, the D.I.C.E. Awards for its animation. No big deal.
Honestly, are you considering snagging any of these games during the PS Store blowout? The comments section is all ears for what you choose. And oh, before I forget—check back here because, who knows, maybe there’s more wallet-friendly goodness coming your way.
