This week, Sony launched the PlayStation Store July Savings promotion, and this includes a lot of games ranging from AAA games to indie titles.
If you’re gaming on a budget but want to play something new, we might have just the thing.
We’ve listed a handful of games available in the sale that can be yours for just $1.99, and these titles are a varied bunch.

The list of games below consists of titles that might have gone unnoticed by most gamers given they aren’t AAA fare. Even so, these are titles that warrant a look, especially since they are extremely affordable.
Most Notable Games From The List
Hotline Miami ($1.99) – Possibly the most popular of the entire list, this top-down shooter has been ported to almost every electronic device under the sun. It’s a bona fide commercial success and has received multiple awards and nominations due to its creativity, soundtrack, and more.
Thomas Was Alone ($1.99) – This puzzle-platform game was created by Mike Bithell and was originally released as a Flash-based game in 2010. It has since been expanded and has seen release on major gaming platforms. It’s also an award-winning BAFTA game, which you wouldn’t know just by looking at the game’s graphics.
Slender: The Arrival ($1.19) – Based on a creepypasta, this horror game might not match its AAA counterparts, but it’s the perfect game to encapsulate the list. It’s scary, not a long game, and doesn’t overstay its welcome. It’s the perfect game to snatch up on a whim, to try something new without any regrets, given its price.
