What is the price of 'Those Games' on PlayStation, and what kind of games are included?

'Those Games' is priced at $9.99 / £7.99 on PlayStation platforms and includes a collection of mini-games inspired by mobile game advertisements, such as Pin Pull and Number Tower, providing a variety of challenges over 250 levels.

With 'Those Games' building on the familiar experience of inscrutable mobile game ads, it taps into the common frustration of players with deceptive advertising in the mobile gaming market. Fake game ads are notorious for showcasing gameplay that is either not part of the actual game or oversells a simplified version of gameplay, leading to a commonly shared annoyance among gamers. These ads often go viral, creating memes and commentary in the gaming community. 'Those Games' cleverly capitalizes on this trend by satirizing the phenomenon, allowing players to engage with the kind of bizarre and oversimplified mini-games that these ads portray.
