Sony has hit us with a double whammy of new sales on the PS Store, with a Halloween offer and a Planet of the Discounts sale running concurrently.
Both of these offers conclude on 5th November 2025, and they contain a frankly ludicrous number of PS5 and PS4 games going cheap.
In order to help navigate this latest torrent of discounts, we’ve gathered some recommendations together, presenting you with a much more manageable list of top tier games.
Each game here has at least a 7/10 from Push Square, and they’re all at their lowest price point, with some setting new records.
Let’s get into it then: recommendations from the Halloween and Planet of the Discounts sales.
$4.99/£3.99 (-80%)
Amnesia: The Bunker sticks a little too close to what Frictional Games has been doing for over a decade now, but with a more free-form approach to gameplay, the team is back on the right track again. Coupled with an excellent setting, Amnesia: The Bunker represents a vast improvement over its predecessor. You’ll still encounter the same stumbling blocks of old, but this horror experience comes recommended.
$3.99/£3.19 (-80%)
Battle Chef Brigade Deluxe is the definitive version of this unusual but great culinary adventure. Set in a world where chefs go head-to-head in a prestigious cooking tournament, the game is half action title and half cooking minigames. You’ll go out slaying monsters and harvesting ingredients, then brew them up to create delicious dishes to satisfy the judges. It’s an odd recipe, but results in a surprisingly tasty dish.
$9.99/£7.99 (-50%)
The spiritual successor to FromSoftware’s supremely popular Dark Souls property, Bloodborne fuses the lip-smackingly satisfying combat of its predecessors with a frighteningly fast pace, resulting in the most intense action on the PS4. Harrowing Lovecraftian-like fiends and larger-than-life bosses vie for the attention of your Saw Blade, as the dingy districts of Yharnam intertwine. A steep difficulty curve can make this occasionally putrid escapade appear off-putting, but soldier through the skin and sinew and you’ll find a bloodbath worth submerging in.

$3.29/£2.69 (-85%)
You play as several members of the Bergson family in rogue-lite Children of Morta, each with their own combat styles and abilities. Whether you take sword-wielding John, archer Linda, or martial arts master Mark into the fray, you’re constantly rewarded with each run. The game is challenging, but persistent RPG elements and upgrades mean you always come back that little bit stronger. What’s interesting is that, as each warrior levels up, certain benefits will be attributed to the whole family. This emphasis on the collective effort, and not just one “special” hero, is a nice change.
$19.79/£19.79 (-67%)
Crash Bandicoot is one of PlayStation’s most iconic platforming heroes, and now that he’s double-jumped onto PS5, there’s no excuse for skipping Crash Bandicoot: It’s About Time. This sequel stays true to the series’ origins, but it’s bursting with brand new ideas and jaw-dropping set-piece moments. Running at a flawless 60 frames-per-second in sparkling 4K resolution — and cutting those load times to almost nothing — this release is at its absolute best on Sony’s next-gen console.
$12.49/£9.99 (-50%)
Cult of the Lamb is an ingenious blend of rogue-lite action and life sim that’s devilishly addictive. Indebted to an imprisoned, malevolent god, you spend half the game vanquishing foes, gathering resources, and rescuing animals. Then, things flip, and your time turns to building up a cult with various buildings and structures. There’s an element of strategy to this half of the game, but it’s generally pretty breezy, while the action is nice and snappy. Both sides of Cult of the Lamb feed wonderfully into each other, and combined with the cute cartoon visuals, it’s an incredibly fun, dangerously moreish treat.
$4.99/£3.99 (-75%)
Death’s Door isn’t doing anything particularly original, but everything presented here is just so well crafted. The game is an isometric action adventure, starring you as a reaper crow who must venture out and calm the lost souls that haunt the land. The world created here is a fascinating one, designed in an almost Dark Souls-like way; it intertwines with itself and pockmarks each area with baddies to fend off. The combat is straightforward but satisfying, and the presentation is really strong throughout. It might not break the mould, but this unassuming game puts its best talon forward.
$9.99/£8.74 (-75%)
If you like your first-person shooters fast, demanding, and bloody, DOOM Eternal is the peak. A fantastic gameplay loop means you’re constantly on the move and playing aggressively, earning more ammo and health by getting right up in those demonic faces and literally ripping them a new one. On PS5, it’s somehow even better, with three visual modes — including one with ray tracing — and DualSense support. A brilliant FPS that really sings on Sony’s current hardware.
$46.89/£46.89 (-33%)
DOOM: The Dark Ages goes for something slightly different as it turns back time for a medieval assault on hell’s legions. Not every change pays off, as the introduction of a mech and dragon adds very little to the overall experience. However, when The Dark Ages gets to the FPS action, there aren’t many who do it better than id Software. Take some time to adjust to DOOM: The Dark Ages, and you’ll discover another fantastically ferocious first-person shooter.
$9.99/£7.99 (-60%)
The best thing about Dredge is its ingenious core concept. Playing as a hard-working fisherman, it’s your job to go out into the open waters, catch fish, then sell them to fishmongers for a tidy sum. Using the money you earn and the resources you find, you’ll slowly upgrade your trawler to become a more capable vessel. This would be enough on its own to provide a good time, but the spooky twist means there’s a near-constant sense of, well, dread. As you progress, more and more eldritch horrors will present themselves, challenging your impulse to fish into the night by creeping you out with weird visions and inexplicable dangers. An eerie game that reels you in with its moreish gameplay loop.
$1.49/£1.19 (-90%)
FAR: Lone Sails is a lovely title. Remarkable environments and a strong art direction anchor a brief but compelling title. While the puzzles and amount of resources never really hit a point to make anything truly challenging, the resource management loop is more satisfying here than it usually is in more survival-focused titles. If you don’t mind that the game isn’t terribly challenging, it’s well worth playing.
