Celeste is 75% off and is a near-masterpiece of a game.
Portal 1 and Portal 2 are on sale again of course on the chance you haven’t yet hit these absolutely classic legendary games.
Persona 4 Golden is 40% off and is awesome, and Persona 5 Royal is 60% and is even more awesome.
Metal: Hellsinger is 70% off and while it isn’t a GOTY type game, it’s a hell of a lot of fun if you’re a contemporary metal music fan.
but my biggest recommendation is probably gonna be
Recettear: An Item Shop’s Tale at 80% for only $3.99 (US) which is an completely underrated hidden gem of a game and a huge recommendation for anyone who likes quirky cozy-hybrid games or who, like me, spent way too long on the shopkeeper segments in RPGs like Torneko Taloon’s chapter in DQIV.
edit: why in the world would anyone ever downvote a personal recommendation comment? Weird behavior, fam
Recettear
This game rocks. 'Nuff said.
Talos Principle is $5
Talos Principle 2 is $15
Highly recommend both games!
Both combined is $15.58. That doesn’t include the excellent expansions for either game though.
They are the only portal-likes (chamber-based player movement puzzlers) that I’d place on the same level as the Portal games.
Imo they’re better. Portal was more groundbreaking because of when the first one came out, what valve was doing at the time, because everybody played it, and because of its connection with other games at the time.
But now, it’s just a very good game that (re)introduced portals as a concept into pop culture and repopulatized and proved that AAA puzzle games were possible.
Talos, on the other hand, is a philosophical indie sleeper, and more of a social experiment. I don’t like comparing it to portal, because most people see portal as an insurmountable peak with an impenetrable meme forcefield. And yeah, portal is great. But the Talos games are something very different and stands all on its own.
Here is a link to Steam DB showing popular games more than 50% off:
https://steamdb.info/sales/?min_discount=50&min_rating=70&min_reviews=500Caves of Qud has a small discount. I’ve been playing it a lot lately on the Steam Deck.
Outer Wilds is on sale. Great game if you like space, puzzles or platforming!
Or just flying around space in a tiny solar system
I’ve still never beaten it. I’m near the end I’m pretty sure. Great game.
My personal greatest game of all time. Do go on blind tho.
Absolutely, what i would give to play again with no knowledge
Just a reminder that while we all love Steam, they run an underage gambling ring in the form of CS skins, which they refuse to address.
Kenshi is back on sale for 12$. It’s a special kind of special, but someone out there might connect with it. Lots of yt videos to get a feel for gameplay.
This is one of those games that I love the description, love the sales pitches, streamers do a good job of promoting it. In paper I should love this game, but it just doesn’t gel with me. There’s something about video games that just cannot be conveyed through video or text.
The Witcher 1, 2, and 3 + DLC ;)
I don’t recommend any games because I purchased a large backlog I can’t complete.
Doom 2016 for 2$, Titanfall 2 for 3$ and battlefield games from BF3 through BF1 also go for 2$
I’ve never played any BF games. Do they have good single player campaigns?
Battlefield 1 has a really interesting campaign. They are all short stories taking place in different points of time in the war. It’s also a fantastic multiplayer game that still has active servers!
Not since Bad Company 2 like 15 years ago
BFBC2 was the best BF I’ve ever played. I wish I would have known that at the time.
my reccomendation? whatever’s on gog
in all seriousness, you can’t go very wrong with games made by valve, portal especially.
Lingo ($6.99/$9.99) is an incredible exploration and word puzzle game. It also has a few excellent custom maps such as Duolingo and Liduongo.
A sequel (Lingo 2 $9.99) just released and is also excellent. It changes how puzzle rules are presented, making them playable in either order. It’s a more polished experience though, so playing the first game after would probably feel like a step backward.
Mass Effect legendary edition (all 3 games + all DLCs) is on for 6 Euro.
That’s a great deal IMO
On the third game myself, I can’t believe I didn’t play these sooner. I understand the hype this series generated now.
They may not have lived up to the hype when initially released, which was understandable as there were a lot of promises that weren’t keeps, but they are undoubtedly still absolutely amazing games.
I picked up civilization VI (for my PC), hades and outer wilds for my deck.
Ori & the Will of the Whisps is an incredible story, on sale for pretty cheap right now!
