Anno 1800 is 5 bucks. I love it, but you need to deal with Uplay as well
I have over 600 hours in Anno 1800 and highly recommend it buuuut I would advise people consider the more expensive edition that includes all the expansions.
I picked up civilization VI (for my PC), hades and outer wilds for my deck.
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.
Caves of Qud has a small discount. I’ve been playing it a lot lately on the Steam Deck.
If 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.

Starfield has a focus on running around with your legs (or wheels), while ED is more about flying around with your spaceship (or wheels).
I’m making myself finish Fell Seal before I start it, but I picked up Triangle Strategy at what gg.deals says is the record low price. As an FFT fanboy, it looks great (and so is Fell Seal for that matter).
Borderlands 3, if you somehow missed it, for under £5 is just a good value.
Ori & the Will of the Whisps is an incredible story, on sale for pretty cheap right now!
Enter the gungeon is like 1.50
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.
Talos Principle is $5
Talos Principle 2 is $15
Highly recommend both games!
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.
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.
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.
