PlayStation gamers race to pick up ‘strangely engrossing’ open-world game for under a tenner
PLAYSTATION gamers can pick up open-world title Lake - that players suggest is perfect for the Christmas break - for under a tenner.
The "strangely engrossing" Lake has received rave reviews on offers site HotUKDeals and a 70/100 on ratings site Metacritic.
The 2021 title is a slow-paced indie adventure game, which players say quickly became a favourite that they can't help but reminisce about.
Lake, rated PEGI 16, is currently for PlayStation 5 consoles.
Set in 1986, the story follows Meredith Weiss, a software developer, who temporarily assumes the role of the town's mail carrier while visiting her hometown in Oregon.
"This is strangely one of my favourite games," one player wrote on .
"Quirky, slightly cheesy, small. But strangely engrossing and relaxing and a 'pleasant' storyline. I was surprised how much I liked it.
"Wishing I had a PS5 for this and the new DLC."
Another wrote: "I absolutely loved this game, so much so that I bought it on every available platform.
"I'm saving the DLC for Christmas and I'm so excited!"

While a third added: "I completed it on Xbox via Game Pass and for some odd reason it left a lasting feeling with me.
"Cannot put a finger on it on the feeling, but its like a 'i wouldn't mind getting away to a place like that for a simple day to day life'."
A fourth player "felt exactly the same" and explained in the comments that the sweet feeling of playing Lake "lingered for ages".
However, no everyone is a fan, of course.
One gamer wrote that they "enjoyed it for a while" but it "gets boring pretty quickly."
