After the excitement of Christmas and New Year, most of us will be feeling bored in the usually mundane month of January. The Playstation Store has the answer to our boredom however, with a massive sale on many great games. Lets count down some of the best deals available right now in the Playstation January Sales that will keep the boredom at bay.
Battlefield 1 – £27.99 (49% off)
The latest addition to the Battlefield franchise has been extremely well received, garnering critical acclaim from both players and reviewers alike. Battlefield 1 throws the modern shooter trope out of the window as the player is thrust back into the battlefields of World War 1. Whether fighting through the mountains of Italy or the trenches of Northern France, this game truly captures the horror of World War 1 in one of the most nail-biting, edge of the seat gameplay experiences in recent memory. At the low price of £27,99, this is a steal for one of the best games of 2016.

Uncharted 4 – £22.99 (48% off)
Naughty Dog make amazing games, there is no doubt about it, but Uncharted 4 is one of the most impressive jewels in their already glimmering crown. After selling over 2.7 million units in its first week alone, the game went on to become revered by the fans, as well as winning several awards. This is the final game in the Uncharted series, and features now-retired protagonist Nathan Drake teaming up with his brother for one final score; the treasure of a long-dead pirate. This game is an absolute wonder to play, and comes with an under-rated but intensely fun multiplayer too. At almost half price, you'd be a fool to pass up this game.

Titanfall 2 – £29.99 (45% off)
Titanfall 1 was good, but it was also criminally underrated, and died off quickly in the face of stern opposition. Now that the sequel has rolled around, history sure has not repeated itself. The futuristic First Person Shooter features a campaign of epic proportions and a fast-paced multiplayer that fuses Infantry gameplay with Titans, massive mechs that leave a trail of death and destruction in their wake. This game has been praised for its fresh take on the now stale futuristic-shooter genre, and is a must have for any FPS fan at almost half price.

Ratchet & Clank – £15.99 (46% off)
If you had the joy of spending your free time as a child on the Playstation 2, chances are you've encountered the absolute gem that was the Ratchet & Clank series. Combining stellar platformer combat with multi-layered comedy and an absolutely ridiculous amount of weapons and upgrades, the series was a shining light amongst the golden age of gaming on the Playstation 2, with Ratchet & Clank 3 remaining near the top of my personal all-time favourite list.
Two generations of gaming later, and the series has been rebooted on the Playstation 4, and my oh my is it good. This game takes the already wonderful elements of the original games and gives it a modern polish, making playing this game not only a nostalgia trip, but an absolute pleasure. Painfully enjoyable and hilariously self-aware, this is a must-have for any fan of the original games.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Game of the Year Edition – £24.99 (28% off)
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is one of the most impressive RPG games ever made, and for good reason. Every inch of the world is alive and breathing, and with a compelling story and satisfying gameplay, this game deserved every great review and every award it attained after its release in 2015.
The game of the year edition is the ultimate Witcher 3 experience. Containing all 16 minor dlcs and the two massive expansion packs, Heart of Stone and Blood & Wine, this is a game you can expect to put hundreds of hours into, and the price for this massive game is an absolute steal. At £24.99, the price is but a formality for the amount of time you will put into this title, and the enjoyment & fulfilment you will get out of this truly wonderful RPG experience.

Bioshock: The Collection – £29.99 (33% off)
The Bioshock franchise is perhaps one of the most impressive ones ever conceived. With thrilling gameplay driven by a dark and involving story, all three of the games are a masterpiece in their own right.
The collection combines all of these games into one tidy package, including all of the DLC and modes from the games, save for Bioshock 2's multiplayer, due to the servers closing a while before the release of the collection. If you've never had the joy of playing through the Bioshock games, I encourage you to pick up this collection and relish in the experience that has captivated so many gamers through the years.
