Title: 5 Great Games For Less Than $5 In The Steam Summer Sale
The Steam Summer Sale is a welcome respite from the usual exorbitant prices of video games. In this sale, gamers can snag some fantastic titles for less than the price of a sandwich – literally! Yes, you can get an incredible gaming experience for less than five dollars!
First up, we have Disco Elysium – The Final Cut (PC, Mac, Steam Deck) for a mere $3.99. This game is unlike any other you’ll ever play – a masterclass in dark humor and stunning presentation. I mean, it’s like playing a Francis Bacon painting come to life! And the voice acting? It’s on par with HBO-quality productions. Plus, the soundtrack is so infectious you might just find yourself tapping your feet along. In this game, you’ll take on the role of a car crash of a detective (ouch!) who must solve a murder mystery in a town full of, ahem, ‘less than helpful’ locals.
The first clues and, of course, piece together what happened are your tasks at hand. You get to experiment with different play styles – some of which will have you pushing the detective’s behavior to wild extremes! The skills tree is somewhat bewildering and it does occasionally dip into the mundane, but this game is an absolute must-have bargain at $3.99.
In the same vein, we have Frostpunk (PC, Mac) for a slightly higher price point of $4.49. This one’s a survival game where you’re tasked with managing a colony in a frigid environment. It’s as much a test of resource management and diplomacy as it is about maintaining morale and order, all while pushing the populace to endure ever-growing hardship.
And don’t even get me started on how visually stunning this game looks! The smoke and steam belching from your futuristic-looking city only grows more impressive with its expansion. Yes, Frostpunk’s original price tag might be a bit steeper than others on this list, but at $4.49, it’s now an absolute steal!
Moving right along, we have Mini Metro (PC, Mac, Steam Deck) for the low, low price of $4.99. In this adorable little game, you’re in charge of designing a metro system – something you might find yourself relating to if you’ve ever been stuck on a crowded train platform wondering why that blasted train is taking so long! There’s even a sandbox mode where you can play without pressure!
Last but not least, we have Firewatch (PC, Mac, Steam Deck) for just $3.99. This game defies easy description – it’s both chilled and tense at the same time! It has some of the most striking visuals I’ve ever seen in a video game! It’s like stepping into an actual forest.
In Firewatch, you’ll take on the role of Henry, a troubled soul who takes up a job as a fire lookout in a remote wilderness. Your sole means of communication is a handheld radio with your supervisor, and things will definitely not run smoothly!
Don’t miss out on this incredible sale! The Steam Summer Sale ends July 7th, so don’t hang around if one of these games has caught your eye.
