Forget basketball’s March Madness; the real excitement is over at the PlayStation Store with their Mega March event. This month, you can nab some fantastic deals on top-tier PS4 and PS5 games. Gamers can enjoy discounts of up to 75%, and sometimes even more, on a wide range of titles. Notably among these is a bundle that has significantly influenced the horror genre since its inception in 2010.
Right now, the Frictional Collection, which includes five standout horror games, is available for a whopping 80% off at the PlayStation Store. You can scoop it up for just $18.39, a major steal from its normal price of $91.99. If you’re interested in this incredible offer, make sure to act quickly because the sale wraps up on March 27.
Within the Frictional Collection, players will find a wealth of spine-chilling experiences. The bundle features Amnesia: The Dark Descent, Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs, Amnesia: Rebirth, Amnesia: The Bunker, and the sci-fi horror piece Soma. With this, you’ll have the entire collection of Amnesia games, alongside an award-winning sci-fi horror story from the creators of The Dark Descent. The set also throws in the Amnesia: Justine expansion for The Dark Descent.
Although Soma stands apart in theme, the Amnesia games are interconnected, with Rebirth serving as a direct sequel to The Dark Descent. A Machine for Pigs and The Bunker, while not as tightly linked narrative-wise, share thematic ties to the original game. The entire series, similar to titles like Outlast and Layers of Fear, delivers its thrills from a first-person perspective.
Upon release, the Amnesia series received warm praises. The Dark Descent leads with an impressive average Metacritic score of 85. Soma follows closely with a score of 84. The collection’s other entries maintain respectable scores in the low 80s to high 70s. For anyone with even the slightest interest in horror gaming, this bundle offers a fantastic opportunity to delve into some of the genre’s best works.
