It’s one of those days of the year. As Black Friday has arrived on the PlayStation Store, bringing huge discounts across some of the best titles on PS5, I’m here to help you choose some of the best titles you‘ll find at the most valuable prices. Whether you’re looking for mind-bending psychological thrillers, massive open-world RPGs, or high-octane action, this sale has something for everyone.
Here are my top 5 game recommendations to grab during the sale, plus 1 absolute bonus steal you shouldn’t miss.
1. DOOM Eternal
- Genre: First-Person Shooter
- Price: €9.89
- Why it’s worth it: I had a lot of fun with DOOM Eternal. An unmatched pure, fast-paced adrenaline combo, along with heavy metal themes that will pick up the pace even more. Id Software perfected combat movement with dash mechanics, grapple hooks, and resource management where every weapon serves a specific tactical purpose. It runs at a smooth 60–120 FPS on PS5, making the demon-slaying feel incredibly responsive.
2. Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition
- Genre: Open-World RPG / Sci-Fi
- Price: €34.99
- Why it’s worth it: Even though its destructive release, Cyberpunk 2077 became one the games of this generation. Following massive updates and the brilliant Phantom Liberty expansion, Night City is in its definitive state. The Ultimate Edition packages the base game alongside the spy-thriller expansion, offering hundreds of hours of immersive storytelling, deep character builds, and breathtaking visual fidelity on current-gen consoles. Personally, I had 150 hours (more or less) with the game and I just wanted more. A new start with a different life path is already in my backlog.
3. Silent Hill 2
- Genre: Psychological Survival Horror
- Price: €19.59
- Why it’s worth it: Bloober Team’s remake of the 2001 survival horror classic is a masterclass in tension, sound design, and emotional storytelling. Exploring the fog-choked streets of Silent Hill with updated over-the-shoulder combat makes James Sunderland’s haunting journey feel fresh while honoring the original’s atmospheric dread. I loved it, even though it’s probably the scariest game I have ever played. Read my review here.
4. Final Fantasy VII Remake Integrade
- Genre: Action RPG
- Price: €9.99
- Why it’s worth it: Reimagining the Midgar arc of the classic RPG, FFVII Remake delivers a hybrid combat system that seamlessly blends real-time action with tactical menu commands. In my opinion, the best fighting system I have seen in a game. However, its uniqueness isn’t only in the battle system. The expanded character dynamics between Cloud, Tifa, Aerith, and Barret bring the iconic city to life with modern production values and a stellar soundtrack. The original FFVII is one of the games that shaped me as a gamer and I am more than happy that this remake does it justice, bringing this epic saga to modern consoles. The Integrade version is for the PS5 and includes Yuffie’s expansion, a main character in the sequel FFVII Rebirth.
5. Control: Ultimate Edition
- Genre: Action-Adventure / Telekinetic Sci-Fi
- Price: €5.99
- Why it’s worth it: Remedy Entertainment’s surreal action title puts you in the shoes of Jesse Faden as she explores the Oldest House—a shifting, supernatural building occupied by an alien threat. The Ultimate Edition includes both narrative DLCs (The Foundation and AWE) and fully utilizes DualSense haptics alongside ray-tracing performance modes. To tell you the truth, Control is still in my backlog. However, at this price I have no excuses for not playing Remedy’s masterpiece.
+1 Bonus Pick: Assassin’s Creed Odyssey Gold Edition
- Genre: Open-World Action RPG
- Price: €19.99
- Why it’s the ultimate bonus: If you are looking for sheer value per dollar spent, the Gold Edition of Odyssey is hard to top. I don’t know if the fact that I am Greek plays a role that it is my favorite AC, but honestly I couldn’t have enough of that game. The breathtaking landscapes along with the great story and characters, make AC Odyssey an experience that you won’t forget. Also, beyond the massive base game set across Ancient Greece, the Gold Edition includes the full Season Pass—featuring the multi-episode Legacy of the First Blade and Fate of Atlantis expansions—plus a full digital copy of Assassin’s Creed III Remastered. It offers well over 100 hours of content in a single package. A truly unskippable deal. *Even though officially there is only a PS4 version, the game comes with a free upgrade for the PS5.
