Sony’s Black Friday sale on the PlayStation Store offers discounts on thousands of digital games and add-ons for PS5, PS4 and PS VR2 through November 30. Among the titles singled out are five games to play ahead of the anticipated arrival of GTA 6 on November 19: Control Resonant, Silent Hill: Townfall, Mortal Shell II, Cairn and Dispatch.

Control Resonant takes place seven years after Control, in a Manhattan reshaped by paranormal events. Players take on the role of Dylan Faden, Jesse’s brother, as Remedy shifts the series towards close-combat action-RPG gameplay. The original article describes it as a standout release and rates it 10 out of 10.

Silent Hill: Townfall moves the horror series to the Scottish island of St. Amelia in 1996. Played from a first-person perspective, it has players explore the island while using a small television to pick up frequencies and spot movement. The game received a score of under €40 in the article’s recommendation, which calls it a strong choice for horror fans.

Mortal Shell II expands on the first game with a larger, vertically designed world filled with shortcuts, secrets and dungeons. Players inhabit the remains of fallen warriors to gain their abilities, while the combat combines weapons such as a greatsword and a shotgun. The article gives it an 8 out of 10.

Cairn, from Montpellier-based studio The Game Bakers, puts players in the role of climber Aava as she attempts to be the first to conquer Mount Kami. Climbing requires placing each hand, foot and piton while managing supplies, injuries and fatigue. The game is listed at €20.99.

Dispatch is a superhero comedy built around Robert Robertson, also known as Mecha Man, who works dispatch after losing his armour. Players send former supervillains on missions and manage the team through eight episodes. The game features a story shaped by player choices and is rated 9 out of 10 in the article.

The sale’s first wave does not include discounts on consoles. The article notes that PlayStation hardware offers may still appear later, pointing out that the previous year’s console deals were announced on November 18.
