Big Sky Infinity (PS3 and PS Vita - Cross Buy Enabled)
40% off for PS Plus members (Original price: $9.99; PS Plus price: $5.99)

Big Sky Infinity is a lightning-fast, randomly-generated game that adapts to how you play; which means, it's never the same game twice. You pilot a spaceship that's flying straight into an alien armada.

The further you progress, the harder it gets, with giant bosses, streams of enemies, and unique events that shift the gameplay to keep you on your toes. It's Cross Buy enabled, so this purchase will get you a version to play on both your PS Vita and PS3. Check out more Big Sky Infinity from the game's director James Whitehead.

Knytt Underground tells a quirky and strange tale that's set in the future, hundreds of years after the humans disappeared from the planet. Sprites, fairies and various other lifeforms roam tunnels in the underground.

With a curiousity about their origin and the meaning of life, they strike out to find those answers they try to understand the ones who had obviously figured it out: the humans. It's a beautiful adventure with a vast environment to explore and story driven quests that will keep you hooked.
