Hey all. Always enjoyed reading everyone's suggestions on more unknown games available during big steam sales.

I'll start off with one that I have been a fan of for a long time: Death Road to Canada

This game is like a zombie action Oregon Trail like game, where you manage supplies and fight through hordes of zombies on your way to the safe haven of Canada. Only US$3.74 right now and well worth it imo!

just grabbed god of war, disco elysium, and hellblade senuas sacrifice...

as far as recommendations go, Mass Effect legendary edition and dragon age are very enjoyable if you like RPG with a focus on lore, story and characters. Red Dead Redemption 2 is a wonder and a steal at $20. Witcher 3 for $12. Horizon Zero Dawn for $16.50

I highly recommend CrossCode, currently only costs $6 (It also has a free demo if you want to try it first). It’s a really well polished game with a great story, and the action is amazing too. It also includes difficulty settings you can change if you feel yourself getting too frustrated (as I did sometimes). This video also sums it up pretty well. Hope you enjoy!

I don't understand how it's not a classic. The music and art is amazing, the story and characters are charming, the battle system is fun, it's full of side quests and places to explore. Maybe it's because the dungeons are literally 2 hours of non-stop puzzles (they went a bit hard on the puzzles), but if you can get past that, it's definitely worth your time!

Super Blood Hockey. 80% off, about $3 USD.

It's a very well made pixel art game where you play hockey and you can beat up the other team. There's a franchise mode as well, so you'll want to balance how much fighting you do so your players don't get too hurt. There's local co-op so you can play against friends (or use steam remote play together).

PlateUp!. 40% off, about $11 USD.

Similar to Overcooked but you need to manage your restaurant and make sure you don't fail a single order. It's a rouge-lite, and you can move everything around in your restaurant and you kind of manage the menu as the days go on, but you get a choice whether to add option A or B, so it slowly gets more complicated. Very fun with friends, steam remote play together works here as well.

Bone's Cafe. 30% off, about $11 USD.

Similar to Overcooked and PlateUp!, but I feel like it's more geared towards single player (but there's local co-op as well). You have to manage your restaurant and menu (can make it as easy or complex as you'd like), while also maybe killing customers to harvest them for ingredients :) You can spawn in helpers and you can show them a repetitive task to do and they will do it.

the complete edition of Nioh 2 is $30. $30 for like 4000 hours of content depending on how deep you get into it. one of my top 25 games of all time.

FAQ:

  • I hate soulslikes that aren't dark souls

don't worry, because nioh 2 isn't a soulslike after the first playthrough! once the credits roll, it becomes ninja gaiden crossed with diablo. also, the first playthrough is the tutorial lmao

  • do i have to care about the loot?

not on the first playthrough, but like i said, it's diablo. you'll be chasing gear and making builds that melt bosses. if that doesn't sound fun, pass on it.

  • do i have to play as William?

no! nioh 2 has a character creator. an extremely good one, because if Koei Tecmo is good at one thing, it's making pretty characters

  • is there an izuna drop?

you bet your sweet fuckin ass there's an izuna drop

It is not hugely discounted, but Dave the Diver has been fantastic. Exploration with chill music mixed with running a sushi restaurant

[–] Drusas@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That looks like a good one, thanks for sharing. But at only 10% off and still $18, I'll just add it to my wishlist for now.

[–] kosure@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Fair dues. But I want to point out that it's more than the sum of it's parts. There are tons of mechanics, and they're all engaging in and of themselves. But the balance and the complementary gameplay loops make the game punch above it's weight.
