Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order Deluxe Edition
Genre: Action-Adventure | Developer: Respawn Entertainment | Release Date: November 15, 2019 | Model: Buy-to-Play | Price Range (according to Geizhals.de): 44.34 – 79.99 €
What is Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order? The story takes place between Episodes 3 and 4. You take on the role of Jedi apprentice Cal Kestis who survived Order 66. Now you are on the run from the Galactic Empire.
Why the game is worth it: Respawn Entertainment has done a great job with the game design: The worlds become increasingly complex as the game progresses, and the mix of combat and exploration is consistently enjoyable. The design is cohesive, enhanced by an excellent sound and voice atmosphere. The enemies are diverse, and the game offers 4 different difficulty levels.
What is less well done: The graphics look great, but the framerate on the PS4 (Pro) can sometimes drop significantly. Additionally, the very linear story offers little replay value. It’s also disappointing that protagonist Cal develops little character depth throughout the game.
Who is the game suitable for? If you enjoy action games with a fast-paced combat system and Star Wars flair, then you should check out Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order.
Where can you buy Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order? The Deluxe Edition is currently on offer in the PS Store:
- Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Deluxe Edition in the PS Store for 59.99 € (
79.99 €), with PS Plus even 39.99 €. You save a total of 50%.
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey Deluxe Edition
Genre: Action | Developer: Ubisoft Quebec | Release Date: October 5, 2018 | Model: Buy2Play | Price Range (according to Geizhals.de): 19.95 – 48.36 €.
What is Assassin’s Creed Odyssey? Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is a single-player action-adventure by Ubisoft. It is the eleventh installment in the “Assassin’s Creed” series. The game is set in an alternative version of ancient Greece and is played from a third-person perspective. You play as one of the two descendants of a Spartan king.
Why the game is worth it: The game offers a massive world with many different locations, including the Greek metropolis Athens and small islands. The soundtrack is also cohesive, and the combat system is action-packed and dynamic. Additionally, you regularly unlock new abilities, which make the fights very varied.
Furthermore, you can decide whether to fight your way through enemies stealthily or to eliminate enemies in public. The story around the two siblings is also thrillingly staged.
What is less well done: Gameplay-wise, there are many simple and grind-heavy missions outside the main story. Even the impressively staged war battles are gameplay-wise superficial and have no real impact on the game. Furthermore, side missions vary in quality.
Who is the game suitable for? If you enjoy action-adventures and find the ancient setting cool, then Assassin’s Creed Odyssey might be for you. If you like to explore in a massive game world, you should also take a look at this game.
Where can you buy Assassin’s Creed Odyssey? The Deluxe Edition is currently on offer:
- Assassin’s Creed Odyssey Deluxe Edition in the PS Store for 54.39 € (
84.99 €), with PS Plus even 23.79 €. You save a total of 72%.
A Plague Tale: Innocence
Genre: Action-Adventure | Developer: Asobo Studio | Release Date: May 14, 2019 | Model: Buy2Play | Price Range (according to Geizhals.de): 19.95 – 39.99 €
What is A Plague Tale: Innocence? It is a game set in medieval France. The game emphasizes more on the emotional story between brother and sister than on gameplay challenge.
Why the game is worth it: Few games can convince on an emotional level like A Plague Tale: Innocence. The story of the two siblings Amicia and Hugo is intense, and the protagonist Amicia reacts realistically to experiences. Unlike other protagonists, she is just a young girl who feels deeply affected by every action. All of this feels very authentic.
What is less well done: Gameplay-wise, the game is less convincing. The difficulty is overall too easy, and the strong, linear gameplay offers little replay value. While the game can entirely convince as a story, it lacks depth on a gameplay level.
Who is the game suitable for? If you are interested in an emotional story in the style of The Last of Us, you should take a look at this game. While it is not challenging in terms of gameplay, it excels in characters and its story.
Where can you buy the game? The game is currently discounted directly in the PlayStation Store.
- A Plague Tale: Innocence in the PS Store for 32.99 € (
49.99 €), with PS Plus even 15.99 €. You save a total of 68%.
Metro: Exodus
Genre: First-Person Shooter | Developer: 4A Games | Release Date: February 15, 2019 | Model: Buy2Play | Price Range (according to Geizhals.de): 15.16 – 68.50 €
What is Metro: Exodus? The first-person shooter is the sequel to Metro 2033 and Metro: Last Light. You take on the role of Artyom and are also outside this time. A converted steam locomotive serves as your base, from which you can explore the large areas.
Why the game is worth it: Metro: Exodus builds on its predecessors, this time opting for an open-world-like game environment instead of purely linear levels. And it succeeds very well, as the game world is beautifully staged and offers a great atmosphere. The mix is also right: shooter and stealth gameplay alternate, and the fights are fun. Additionally, you can craft weapons and improve them with parts.
What is less well done: Especially in battles, the enemy AI stands out negatively, making the fights sometimes too easy. Also annoying are the climbing prompts, as the game provides too little feedback in this regard. Additionally, it’s a pity that hero Artyom has no voice actor.
Who is the game suitable for? If you are looking for a strong first-person shooter with believable characters and an exciting game world or have already played the predecessors, you should check out Metro: Exodus.
Where can you buy the game? The game is currently on offer in the PS Store. If you want to have the Season Pass along with the main game, you should buy the Gold Edition, as it includes the Season Pass for the shooter.
- Metro Exodus in the PS Store for 27.99 € (39.99 €), with PS Plus even 15.99 €. You save a total of 60%.
- Metro Exodus Gold Edition in the PS Store for 45.49 € (64.99 €), with PS Plus even 25.99 €. You save a total of 60%.
Borderlands 3 Deluxe Edition
Genre: Loot-Shooter | Developer: Gearbox Software | Release Date: September 13, 2019 | Model: Buy2Play | Price Range (according to Geizhals.de): 29.90 – 59.98 €
What is Borderlands 3? Borderlands 3 is a first-person shooter. Like its predecessors, it features a colorful comic-style graphics and continues the crazy story of the Vault Hunters across the galaxy. Starting on Pandora, you travel from planet to planet. The core of the game revolves around the crazy weapons and collecting better loot.
Why the game is worth it: Borderlands 3 offers a large playground for all those who like fast-paced action with a hefty dose of dark humor. The game can be played alone but is especially fun in cooperative mode – whether online or on the couch in split-screen. The quirky sci-fi setting is simply unique.
At the end of April, Gearbox released new content for Borderlands 3 that you should definitely try out. It has also been revealed that Borderlands 3 will continue after the Season Pass. Gearbox has at least promised that the game will be regularly updated with more content until at least September 2020.
What is less well done? Compared to its predecessor, Borderlands 3 offers few innovations. The core gameplay remains largely unchanged. The Mayhem Mode is currently heavily criticized but is expected to improve in the coming weeks.
Who is the game suitable for? If you are looking for a crazy shooter that can be played cooperatively and revolves around crazy weapons, then you should give Borderlands 3 a chance. Fans of the Borderlands series will immediately feel at home.
Where can you buy the game? The game is currently available on offer in the PS Store:

84.99 €), with PS Plus even 42.49 €. You save a total of 50%.
Spyro Reignited Trilogy
Genre: Jump&Run | Developer: Toys for Bob | Release Date: September 3, 2019 | Model: Buy2Play | Price Range (according to Geizhals.de): 24.00 – 63.98 €
What is Spyro Reignited Trilogy? The Spyro Reignited Trilogy is a remaster of the old three PS1 games: Spyro the Dragon, Spyro 2: Gateway to Glimmer, and Spyro: Year of the Dragon. The main character is the eponymous little purple dragon Spyro, who must save various worlds in a Jump&Run manner.
Why the game is worth it: Developer Toys for Bob has done a great job with the remake of Spyro. The game is wonderfully colorful and takes advantage of its new graphics engine. The great music captivates the player, and the voice actors also do a great job even in German.
With Spyro, the game features a funny, sometimes cheeky hero who quickly endears himself to the player. The design of the enemies is sometimes crazy, sometimes quirky, but always fitting to the game. With over 100 levels, the game also offers long entertainment. Additionally, there are many new challenges to master.
What is special about the remake? The Spyro Reignited Trilogy brings three classic PS1 games back to the PS4. Developer Toys for Bob uses the Unreal Engine to present Spyro in modern graphic attire. Gameplay remains the same as the developer has only made a few changes.
What is less well done: The remake offers only a single difficulty level, which is too easy for players who know the original. The imprecise controls during sprint sections are also frustrating.
While there are over 100 levels to play, the replay value is quite limited as there are hardly any reasons to replay individual levels. In the flying sequences and underwater sections, the sensitive controls and odd camera can be annoying.
Who is the game suitable for? Those who played the predecessors on PS1 will also find a lot of joy in the remake. Fans of similar jump&run games like Rayman and Co. will also enjoy the games and find plenty of engagement with the over 100 levels.
Where can you buy Spyro? The game is currently on offer in the PS Store. The trilogy includes all three games.
- Spyro Reignited Trilogy in the PS Store for 29.99 € (
39.99 €), with PS Plus even 19.99 €. You save a total of 50%.
Red Dead Redemption 2
Genre: Action-Adventure | Developer: Rockstar Games | Release Date: October 26, 2018 | Model: Buy-to-play | Price Range (according to Geizhals.de): 19.88 – 60.10 €
What is Red Dead Redemption 2? The latest installment of the western series is another action game with a large open world. You take on the role of Arthur Morgan, who is on the run with the Van der Linde gang from the law. Rockstar focuses on an open and realistic game world with many interaction possibilities. The game also offers a multiplayer mode, Red Dead Online.
Why the game is worth it: Red Dead Redemption 2 offers a huge game world. Rockstar Games manages to create this world very convincingly. You can interact with your surroundings, animals and NPCs react to you, and many decisions have noticeable consequences.
The story around Arthur Morgan is also impressive. It is well staged, thanks to the quick scene transitions, diverse gameplay, and the profound protagonist whose goals are understandable. The ending will also satisfy you and leave you not bewildered.
What is less well done: The game looks great but requires considerable power. Loading times are long and the PS4 Pro does not reach 60 frames per second. It’s also disappointing that the game only offers one difficulty level. The targeting, especially in tight spaces and buildings, also leaves much to be desired.
Who is the game suitable for? If you are looking for a strong action game with a dense atmosphere and an exciting story, you should check out Red Dead Redemption 2. Western fans will also be well entertained.
Where can you buy the game? Currently, both the base game and the Ultimate Edition are on offer in the PS Store.
- Red Dead Redemption 2 in the PS Store for 49.69 € (
69.99 €), with PS Plus even 29.39 €. You save a total of 58%. - Red Dead Redemption 2 Ultimate Edition in the PS Store for 66.99 € (
99.99 €), with PS Plus even 33.99 €. You save a total of 66%.
