The PlayStation Store never fails to impress with its enticing discounts on some of the most popular and critically lauded games out there. Currently, as part of its Dealmania event, players have a sweet opportunity to snag the 2019 Game Awards’ Game of the Year at a bargain price.
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is available at half-price right now on the PlayStation Store
For those who love a good challenge, FromSoftware’s stunning soulslike, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, comes at a steal of $29.99 instead of its usual $59.99. This 50% markdown is available for a limited time to both PS5 and PS4 users, so make sure to grab it before the deal vanishes on March 13.
The game invites players to step into the dramatic world of late 1500s Sengoku Japan, where you’ll encounter formidable enemies in a grim and twisted landscape. Engage with an array of deadly prosthetic tools and ninja talents as you mix stealth, vertical movement, and intense combat for a truly immersive experience.
Upon its 2019 release, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice received widespread acclaim. It boasts an impressive average score of 90 on Metacritic, drawn from 77 reviews. As highlighted earlier, it clinched the Game of the Year award at The Game Awards in 2019 and also took home the Best Action/Adventure Game title. It had strong showings in other categories too, with nominations for Best Audio Design, Best Art Direction, and Best Game Direction. In our comprehensive review, we couldn’t resist giving it a perfect score of 10 out of 10.
We remarked, "Separated from the expectations brought on by a Dark Souls or Bloodborne game, FromSoftware managed to craft a title that retains the studio’s distinctive flair while exploring fresh mechanisms and storytelling approaches. Sekiro offers a tough yet fair journey, centering on player development over mere character progression."
