Beast of Reincarnation Hits New Low Price on PS5 at Amazon

Game Freak's action RPG Beast of Reincarnation drops to $51.30 on PS5 at Amazon—a 14% discount from its usual $59.99 price. The game recently received patches to address mixed launch reception.

Have you been eyeing Game Freak's latest action RPG, Beast of Reincarnation, but waiting for a price drop? Well, your patience has paid off—Amazon just slashed the PS5 version to a new low of $51.30.

That's a solid $8.69 off the usual $59.99 price tag, or about 14% in savings. It might not be a massive discount, but considering the game only launched early last month, it's a pretty welcome deal. If you've been curious about this apocalyptic beast-battling adventure, now's a great time to jump in without breaking the bank.

Of course, it's worth noting that Beast of Reincarnation had a somewhat mixed reception at launch. Developer Game Freak has since announced plans to roll out "a series of continuous updates" to improve the experience. These patches have already brought camera adjustments, increased text size, story pacing tweaks, and various bug fixes—all aimed at giving the game a bit of a lift.

In IGN's review, which gave it a 6/10, writer Travis Northup acknowledged that the game has "some great ideas blossoming," even if they're "hard to spot among the weeds." He praised its "interesting, apocalyptic setting, an extremely memorable wolf companion, and an action-packed beast-battling premise that is instantly very cool," but felt the execution often fell short of those promising ideas.

If you're wondering what exactly has been adjusted in the latest patch, you can check out publisher Fictions' patch notes page for all the details. It's clear the team is committed to improving the game post-launch, so early adopters might see it evolve over time.

Regardless, if you've been eager to boot up Beast of Reincarnation on your PS5, this deal is a nice opportunity to save a little cash. And if you're on the hunt for more game deals, don't forget that Nintendo's Customer Appreciation Sale is still live with big discounts on Switch games. Also, mark your calendar for October 6—Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days event kicks off then and runs for just 48 hours through October 7. That's a short window to snag any games on your wishlist.
