Clair Obscur And 10 Other PlayStation 5 RPGs That Are Cheaper Than Usual During Sony’s Summer Sale

It’s summer backlog season. What better way to celebrate than by adding a few more games to the list? A bunch of role-playing games are on sale for PS5 right now, including some heavy hitters that only came out last year like Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.

PlayStation just refreshed its summer sale, which doesn’t end until August 13. Here are some of the RPGs you can currently save a bunch on (assuming you don’t already own them):

• Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 – $28 (60 percent off)
• Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 – $40 (20 percent off)
• Digimon Story Time Stranger – $40 (43 percent off)
• Persona 3 Reload – $21 (65 percent off)
• Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader – $20 (60 percent off)
• Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter – $30 (50 percent off)
• Metaphor: ReFantazio – $28 (60 percent off)
• Live A Live – $20 (60 percent off)
• Fallout 4: Game of the Year Edition – $16 (60 percent off)
• Disco Elysium – The Final Cut – $10 (75 percent off)
• Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord – $14 (65 percent off)

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 are both must-plays that haven’t gotten cheaper than this, though if you aren’t interested or already own them, $40 is a decent price for the very meaty, numbers-intensive Digimon Story Time Stranger.

The above are all easy-to-recommend games, especially for the genre and their current respective discount levels. But if you want my real RPG sicko picks, I’d also recommend the following:

• .hack//G.U. Last Recode – $10 (80 percent off)
• The DioField Chronicle – $24 (60 percent off)
• Resonance of Fate – $21 (40 percent off)
• Persona 3 Portable – $10 (50 percent off)

I’ll explain each pick briefly. .hack//G.U. Last Recode is an HD remaster of the original PS2 trilogy which CyberConnect2 recently revealed will be making a comeback with a new game in a few years. The DioField Chronicle is a neat, top-down real-time strategy hybrid RPG that Square Enix should have never made but I have a big soft spot for. Resonance of Fate is a bizarro PS3-era RPG from Tri-Ace that has a really cool hybrid action combat system with guns. Persona 3 Portable is an isometric demake that plays more like a point-and-click visual novel but is perfect for Persona fans who want a more old-school-feeling version of the game.
