In June, the company Sony launched a big summer sale “Time to play“by inviting the owners Playstation 4 Big discounts on hundreds of retail and PlayStation Store digital games. We got acquainted with the assortment and made a list of ten hits at very affordable prices (each game costs up to 1000 rubles), which is definitely worth getting to know. We hope our guide will be able to help you make your choice!
Survive until dawn / Until dawn
Developer: Supermassive Games
Publisher: Sony Interactive Entertainment
Genre: Adventure / Survival Horror
Average rating in the press: 79%
Gamemag.ru review: 8/10
Is there Russian language
Teen horror with all the ensuing consequences should please fans of the nonlinear interactive adventure genre. The story of the heroes who, during a blizzard, got stuck in a hut on top of a mountain surrounded by a gloomy forest, gives you the opportunity to influence events and lead the story to one of the possible endings for each of them. But you need to be careful, because the characters constantly strive to do stupidity and die, so it will be very difficult to save everyone (without a guide).
Minuses: Almost all the characters commit stupid actions, and the plot is typical of youth horror films. If you do not like QTE projects in the spirit of Heavy Rain, then you may not like this game.
God of War 3. Updated Version
Developer: SIE Santa Monica Studio
Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment
Genre: Action / Adventure
Average rating in the press: 81%
Gamemag.ru review: 8/10
Is there Russian language
An excellent re-release of the bloody hit from PS3, which, when ported to PS4, received pleasant improvements in picture clarity and overall performance. In God of War 3, it’s worth playing for the sake of incredibly spectacular battles with huge bosses. The scenes of the epic confrontation of Kratos to the titans and the ancient Greek gods look incredibly cool even in 2023. In addition, the game will help to better penetrate the history of the reboot of the series in God of War 2018.
Minuses: Compared to the very first two parts of God of War, there are fewer interesting puzzles. Plus, some may not like the excessive cruelty of the protagonist.
Gran turismo sport
Developer: Polyphony Digital
Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment
Genre: Racing Simulator
Average rating in the press: 75%
Gamemag.ru review: 8/10
Is there Russian language
An advanced racing simulator with detailed driving physics, beautiful graphics (cars look incredible) and a luxurious photo mode that allows you to create screenshots indistinguishable from reality.
At the start of the project, there was not enough content, but over the past three years, developers have added a huge number of new cars and tracks. Well, of course, here is the most beautiful HDR that we saw in games. If you have an expensive 4K TV and PS4 Pro, then Gran Turismo Sport is worth a try.
Minuses: Strong emphasis on online, and single player modes are not impressive. In addition, the rally is much inferior to DiRT Rally 1/2 in terms of the study of physics.
Ratchet & clank
Developer: Insomniac Games
Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment
Genre: Action / Adventure
Average rating in the press: 85%
Gamemag.ru review: 8/10
Is there Russian language
A very beautiful game that tells about the adventures of a cute Retchet Lombaks. Fluffy fox dreams of becoming a space ranger and saving the world from great evil, but he has to spend all his time in the garage repairing old equipment. Once everything changes, and the hero will have to join forces with the robot Clank to stop the invasion of the Blargs and their leader Drek.
The project is divided into planets with its unique design and objectives. Exploring locations and fighting enemies is really interesting, as well as engaging in pumping numerous weapons. The game is quite loyal to the user’s skills and is suitable for both children and adults.
Minuses: Some mini-games, like races, are made crookedly, but it’s more nitpicking. The rest is a solid project.
Uncharted: Lost Legacy
Developer: Naughty Dog
Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment
Genre: Action / Adventure
Average rating in the press: 84%
Gamemag.ru review: 9/10
Is there Russian language
An interesting offshoot from Nathan Drake’s main adventure series offers Chloe Fraser and Nadine Ross as new protagonists. Girls are looking for a forgotten ancient artifact – Ganesha Tusk, which will lead them to the war-torn city and picturesque island with a lot of secrets and unexpected discoveries.
And, of course, as always, Naughty Dog has very beautiful graphics with atmospheric landscapes and gloomy tombs.
Minuses: In fact, we have a compilation of ideas from Uncharted 4, the original The Last of Us and the latest adventures of Lara Croft. For some, this may be a disadvantage.
Horizon Zero Dawn – Complete Edition
Developer: Guerrilla Games
Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment
Genre: Action / Adventure with role-playing elements
Average rating in the press: 89%
Gamemag.ru review: 9/10
Is there Russian language
The full edition of the popular bestseller PlayStation 4. The Guerrilla Games team created an atmospheric and incredibly beautiful post-apocalypse with an unusual design of robotic dinosaurs, which are really fun to hunt.
In addition, revealing the secrets of the history of the world, closely intertwined with the past heroine, is very interesting. Therefore, fans of story games (and huge bosses) Horizon Zero Dawn is highly recommended. Moreover, this version includes both the main game and the addition of The Frozen Wilds, which adds a new region with its plot and opponents.
Minuses: Some of the side quests were done primitively, as did the AI of human opponents, which is why stealth action in human camps looks unconvincing. The rest is an excellent story game, from which it is difficult to break away.
One of us. Updated version
Developer: Naughty Dog
Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment
Genre: Action / Adventure with elements of horror
Average rating in the press: 95%
Gamemag.ru review: 10/10 (PS3)
Is there Russian language
The Last of Us is a true masterpiece and already a classic of the plot adventure genre, which moved to the PS4 as an improved edition with the addition of “Left Behind” in the kit.
Coming soon full sequel, “One of us: Part 2”, So if you have not played the original, then this is the best time to touch the beautiful before the sequel.
Minuses: None. Well, perhaps the outdated system of accidentally dropping cartridges from opponents is sometimes annoying and the schedule for 7 years is not so impressive.
Uncharted 4: The Way of the Thief
Developer: Naughty Dog
Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment
Genre: Action / Adventure
Average rating in the press: 93%

The final part of the story of Nathan Drake reveals more details about the family of the protagonist, who is torn between a brother, a beautiful wife and a craving for another adventure.
This time, the characters are looking for the lost Libertalia – a place where, according to legend, there are countless treasures of pirates of the XVII century. Huge interesting locations, a nice picture, good puzzles, hot shootings, great characters and unexpected plot twists along with a huge number of wow moments – all that for which we love Naughty Dog games.
Minuses: Some episodes turned out to be protracted, like Scotland, but this is more nitpicking than a serious flaw.
God of war
Developer: SIE Santa Monica Studio
Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment
Genre: Action / Adventure / RPG
Average rating in the press: 94%
Gamemag.ru review: 10/10
Is there Russian language
The fourth “numbered” project in the popular God of War series, and in fact, an unexpected restart brought some important changes and helped re-open the franchise for millions of players.
The luxurious harsh world of Norse mythology, role-playing elements, new abilities and gameplay chips, which became possible only due to the appearance of a partner, together with an interesting story and incredibly nice graphics made God of War a real gem in the collection of any owner of PlayStation 4.
Well, of course, the new Kratos really wants to empathize, which was not in any other game in the series.
Minuses: None.
Bloodborne
Developer: From Software
Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment
Genre: Action-RPG with elements of horror
Average rating in the press: 92%
Gamemag.ru review: 9/10
Is there Russian language
Bloodborne is the pinnacle of From Software’s creative journey and the game for which many bought their PS4 back in 2014. A true work of game art with an amazing multi-layered world and history, fierce battles and terrifying opponents. Subtle work masterfully immerses in a dangerous dark universe of endless bloody hunting on the ruins of a Victorian city, which is being watched by invisible gods from far space. Still the main PlayStation 4 exclusive for hardcore gamers.
Just keep in mind that the regular version at discounts is now without the addition of The Old Hunters, which is sad, given how much the DLC expanded the variability of the equipment presented in the game (including unique types of transforming weapons) and added incredible new bosses. Therefore, it will have to be purchased separately.
Minuses: Nothing but the lack of support for high resolution on the PS4 Pro.
