Thanks OP, repped. Time to give Salt and Sanctuary a go. Can't pass it up at under $2.
Some great games here if you are in to JRPGs. The re-done Persona 3 Portable and 4 Golden are very good and were released on Switch and XBox (unusual for this type of game to be on XBox so indicates maybe better things to come if you use that platform).
I actually chose to play P3P on the Switch because I wanted "portable" playability, which was the original intent of it anyway (on PSP or Vita, I forget which) but this is re-done nicely with improved gameplay and graphics.
FYI The Persona games and also Soul Hackers 2 are currently playable for "free" with XBox Game Pass.
13 Sentinels also highly recommended. It is a bit strange and unconventional -- long complicated Visual Novel with intersecting characters and timelines, combined with strange mech combat gameplay. And you need to go back and forth (with quite a bit of flexibility in how you choose to do it) to advance both the story and the mech upgrades.
Also available on Switch, even in cartridge form for people that seek that.

I wouldn't recommend 13 Sentinels if you find it difficult to follow along with complicated plots. There are 13 main characters. 13 Japanese names to remember in addition to supporting characters. You alternate through them constantly, and they move through time - not two or three specific points in time, but what seemed like dozens in the few hours I played. And the story is often told in a non-linear fashion. Some people can track with that and other can't. I'm sure its a great story, but it wasn't for me. I can typically track with games - Steins;Gate is one of the best things I've ever experienced, but 13 Sentinels seemed like way tooo much work.
The story is told in ~5 minute bursts, covering a particular character at a particular point in time, before rotating to the next character at a different point in time. To those who played, how on Earth do you follow along with that?
In the later chapters it all comes together and makes a lot more sense.

I am terrible as soulsbourne games but S&S is fantastic. The dev team makes quality titles. I played a fair amount of Dishwasher dead samurai on 360, also very quality title. S&S is fun and fair and not as frustrating memory wise as some metroidvania games. This price is criminal, support these guys. They're a quality team!
13 Sentinels was quietly one of the best games of last generation.
If you liked it, the other games you can buy on PS4/5 from the same developer (Vanillaware) are Odin Sphere Leifthrasir, Dragon's Crown Pro, and GrimGrimoire OnceMore. They all have the same general art style and 2D side scrolling levels, but are very different in terms of gameplay.

I absolutely love Odin Sphere Leifthrasir (except for trying to spell and pronounce it correctly). Definitely can be listed alongside some of the best games out there. I enjoyed Dragon's Crown Pro also but felt it didn't reach the same heights as Odin.

Cheaper to buy the physical disc, it's been on clearance at gamestop/best buy for like $5/$10
I recommend Cult of the Lamb, they just released the first DLC for free and apparently have a road map planned out. (The road map is accessible from the main menu of the game). It's adorably addictive and reminiscent of Hades in replay value. Can't beat it for that price! Excellent soundtrack too!!

It was on sale until last night. They probably thought it still was.
