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
Btw Recettear is getting a HD remaster in 2025.
Eyyy I hadn’t heard that yet! That’s awesome, thanks for sharing!
If you like Recettear you should check out Final Profit:

Will do! I just started playing Moonlighter recently which is currently scratching that itch a bit
Recettear
This game rocks. 'Nuff said.
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.
Have you played BPM: Bullets Per Minute? If so, how would you say it compares? I like metal and I like shooting demons, but that one never really grabbed me, I’m not sure why.
I haven’t ever played BPM, I’m sorry.
Enter the gungeon is like 1.50
Outer Wilds is on sale. Great game if you like space, puzzles or platforming!
Or just flying around space in a tiny solar system
My personal greatest game of all time. Do go on blind tho.
I went in blind and gave up after about 3 hours. I have no idea what the fuck is going on, which makes it too easy to die to the same thing over and over again, because I can’t remember which paths lead to progress and which ones lead to death.
Outer Wilds is a game for normies with a good memory and proper motor skills.
I’ve still never beaten it. I’m near the end I’m pretty sure. Great game.
Ori & the Will of the Whisps is an incredible story, on sale for pretty cheap right now!
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=500If you are the simmy type or like space, Elite Dangerous is insanely good, but has a learning curve up front. It’s the only game I’ve put over 1,100 hours in and still haven’t explored everything.
Subnautica is another game I can highly recommend.
If you wanna play games with friends (Elite is also MP), The Forest is a great game to bond over.
Black mesa is another banger.
How does Elite Dangerous compared to starfield? I’m 20 hours into starfield but finding it quite fun.
I have 1000 hours in Elite and it’s nowhere near as on rails or limited. It’s set in a full scale Milky Way where you can pick up missions from a station’s bulletin board, hunt pirates, or just pick a direction and jump to make discoveries, spending months alone scanning systems. The game has well developed lore that regularly updates through an in game feed, but it’s mostly background fluff unless you want to strengthen your faction or if there’s a major community event. It’s also a good time to jump in since new ships have been added and the galaxy is rebuilding after the last war event.

Different genres. Starfield is mostly you running around on foot, having shootouts, and interacting with people and human-sized environments. The space combat is basically an elaborate mini-game.
Elite Dangerous is mostly about flying space ships around.
Personally, I liked Starfield, though I think that it’s weaker than most prior Bethesda offerings. I stopped playing Elite Dangerous, though I have enjoyed some past space-combat-and-trading games, like Escape Velocity. Just never really hooked me. I didn’t like the Elite Dangerous “faux online multiplayer” thing at all — multiplayer breaking immersion in crafted environments is one thing that I’m not a fan of, and unnecessarily adding that just seemed obnoxious to me. The cockpit UI felt like it was more-oriented towards VR use to me, which may be good if you have a VR headset.
Starfield has a focus on running around with your legs (or wheels), while ED is more about flying around with your spaceship (or wheels).
X4 is on sale as well, if you want something similar to Elite
I don’t recommend any games because I purchased a large backlog I can’t complete.
Undertale is at a new all time love at $0.99. It’s not really my jam but it’s the time to pick it up if you always wanted to play it but never did.
The inability to resize the Undertale window without using a third-party program like Sizer continues to be INFURIATING to me.
Undertale is a good game, but it just makes me so goddamn angry every time I open it to not have control over the sizing on my own goddamn monitor that I haven’t been able to finish it.
Sounds like they should have called it Underscale
I’ll see myself out
Kenshi is back on sale for 12$. 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.
Doom (2016), Doom Eternal, Helldivers 2, Broforce
Borderlands 3, if you somehow missed it, for under £5 is just a good value.
Here’s what I picked up during the Steam Spring Sale:
DOOM - $1.99 (90% off) Stray - $18.99 (40% off) Undertale - $0.99 (90% off) Celeste - $4.99 (75% off) Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order - $4.99 (90% off) Red Dead Redemption 2 - $14.99 (75% off) NieR: Automata - $15.99 (60% off) Hades - $9.99 (60% off) Devil May Cry 5 - $19.79 (67% off)That’s…weird. When I checked the price yesterday Fallen Order was 18.99? Did they do a deeper discount?
Probably different price regions.
Doom 2016 for 2$, 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.
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.
Noita is currently 60% off and is hands down the best game I have ever played (kind of). It is ridiculously brutal and you will die very often but you have the potential to get ludicrously powerful as well. The game will cheese you so don’t be afraid to cheese it back. In has so much content that beating the final boss for the first time is considered beating the tutorial.
Also if the some aspects are too bullshit for you there is a variety of mods to fix these, and there is absolutely no shame in using them.
