The Last of Us Part I (PS5)
At $27.99, this is the second-lowest price here. The listing describes it as the complete The Last of Us single-player story plus the celebrated prequel chapter Left Behind, all rebuilt with more realistic lighting and atmosphere for the PS5. If you haven't played the first game or you want to re-experience it in its enhanced form, this is the straightforward pick. The trade-off: it's the original story, not the sequel's continuation, so if you're caught up on the plot you may want the remastered Part II instead.
The Last Of Us Part II Remastered (PS5)
The lowest listed price in this group is $26.00, and it's for the remastered sequel on PlayStation 5. The listing notes the copy is brand new, and it carries the Part II Remastered title. One concrete limitation is in the listing text itself: it says downloadable content, trials, subscriptions, and/or bundled games may not be included, so the experience could be limited to the main game. If you want to continue the story and don't mind a listing that doesn't detail the remaster's new features, this price is the easiest on your wallet.
Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition (PS5)
This is the highest listed price at $49.97, but it's the only listing here that bundles an expansion with the base game: the Ultimate Edition includes the spy-thriller expansion Phantom Liberty. With an open-world action-adventure RPG structure and a Shooter/Role Playing genre tag, it offers a long campaign with builds, choices, and side content. The trade-off is the price: it's about $23.97 more than the least expensive listing here.
Control Ultimate Edition (PS5)
At $36.99, Control Ultimate Edition sits in the middle of the price range. The listing says it contains the main game and all previously released expansions, The Foundation and AWE, and it includes a 60fps Performance mode alongside 4K graphics and ray-tracing. If you want a self-contained action-adventure with a complete DLC package, this is the one to look at. The main constraint is that it's not an open-world RPG; it's a third-person action-adventure with a more contained setting.
Final Recommendation by Use Case
- If you want a full story package with a prequel chapter: The Last of Us Part I at $27.99 gives you the campaign and the Left Behind prequel chapter.
- If $26.00 is your absolute cap: The Last of Us Part II Remastered is the only listing at that price, though the listing warns that DLC/bundled content may not be included.
- If you want a huge open-world RPG with an expansion: Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition at $49.97 includes Phantom Liberty.
- If you want a complete action-adventure with DLC and high-performance mode: Control Ultimate Edition at $36.99 covers the base game and both expansions.
