Game release timing is always critical. I’m very picky with when I buy a title as the marketing hype from AAA studios is often a punch in the face. Indie titles are a bit more honest but often lack the wow factor. Funny thing is that I’m really enjoying indie title HellBlade.
I sidestepped the travesty of No Man’s Sky but still curious and would probably buy the full game for $20 or so but definitely not for the current $60. I added two low commitment titles that were not on my buy list but pleasantly interesting with a tempting price drop to $5 from $20, Firewatch and Inside.
Mafia III (released July 2016) is also down to $16 from $40 but the timing is not right and the drop indicates a possible freebie later this year for PS4 Plus members as they try to boost sales.
