A couple of PS1 classics are dirt cheap on the PS4 and PS5 store.
PS5 users -- as well as PS4 users -- can now buy a classic game from the PS1 era for just $2.24. Better yet, its sequel, which is also a PS1 classic, is also on sale for $4.49. Both PS5 deals are available until next week, or more specifically, until March 28. And both are courtesy of the PlayStation Store"Essential Picks" sale. That said, it is worth noting that both games are both available via PS Plus Premium as PS1-emulated games, though this as rentals, not free game downloads.
The two mystery PS5 games in question are Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee and its spin-off sequel Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus. Both released by Oddworld Inhabitants via the PS1 in 1997 and 1998, respectively. Upon release, both games were well received. The former garnered an 89 on GameRankings, the latter a 90 on GameRankings.
The PlayStation Store listing of both games mentions that both have been improved on PS4 and PS5, and juiced up with new features. What improvements have been added exactly, and what new features are in the games, the listings do not mention. What is noted is that there"may be times where the title plays differently from the PlayStation version, or where some features may cause the title to not function properly.
The last thing noted by the PlayStation Store that should be noted before making any purchase, is that both games do not support any PS1 console peripherals, which also may limit functionality.
