Below you can find five titles we wanted to highlight thanks to their quality and very high discounts, enjoy!
Shadow Warrior 2
The Shadow Warrior franchise is a weird one, composed entirely of first-person shooters ever since its original release, but with enough tweaks to switch genres with each new installment. While most of the franchise’s titles feel like Doom games of different eras, Shadow Warrior 2 is a completely different beast, instead working as a looter shooter.
Shadow Warrior 2 is a hybrid first-person shooter in which players can dispatch enemies up close and personal with a katana or from far away by using a massive arsenal of weapons, ranging from grenade launchers to magical bows.
Shadow Warrior 2 is insanely replayable, and regardless of how each installment is different from the others, the franchise is always guaranteed to have an insanely fun gameplay loop and buckets of blood and gore, all carried by Lo Wang’s wisecracking remarks.
Shadow Warrior 2 is available on Steam for $2.99 with a 90% discount.
Grim Dawn
Despite having originally released in 2016, Crate Entertainment’s Grim Dawn still feels like a breath of fresh air in the ARPG scene, featuring solid gameplay, no microtransactions, and incredibly dense expansions filled with hundreds of hours of content.
Grim Dawn is an ARPG with a dual-class system, letting players create their own unique hybrid characters by picking from 64 different class combinations. The game has a big focus on its story content, featuring a dark and desolate world where humanity is on the brink of collapse.
The game still receives plenty of tweaks and updates, with the last patch releasing less than a week ago as of writing this and featuring massive changes. Crate Entertainment’s support for Grim Dawn, even 8 years post-release, is insane, and the fact that all of that is achieved without resorting to scummy practices is commendable to say the least. Play Grim Dawn; you won’t regret it.
Grim Dawn is available on Steam for $2.49 with a 90% discount.
Tales of Berseria
Devour everything in your path as Velvet, a young woman in search of revenge after being betrayed and turned into a half-demon by the man who raised her.
Tales of Berseria is a party-based JRPG with a real-time hack-and-slash combat system in which players can control Velvet as well as her party members to gain an extra strategic edge.
The game is praised for its fantastic story, as well as its captivating characters, featuring more than 50 hours worth of content, which is an absolute steal considering its massive current discount.
Tales of Berseria is available on Steam for $4.99 with a 90% discount.
Dishonored 2
Corvo Attano’s story continues in Dishonored 2, a direct sequel to the cult classic stealth series developed by Arkane Studios, taking place 15 years after the original game’s ending.
Dishonored 2 is a first-person stealth game that lets players tackle the story campaign as either Corvo or a grown-up Lady Emily, now serving as the empress of the Isles. Players get to choose between lethal and non-lethal combat tactics, as well as how they’ll tackle encounters, be it from the shadows or by facing enemies head-on.
It is no exaggeration to say that Dishonored is the best modern stealth franchise, not only due to its tight level design and expertly crafted world but also because of how much freedom it gives players to approach each situation, featuring a wide variety of interactions and power/gadget combos, as well as different story outcomes depending on player choices.
Dishonored 2 is available on Steam for $2.99 with a 90% discount.
Warhammer: Vermintide 2
Inspired by the Left 4 Dead series, Warhammer: Vermintide 2 is a first-person hack-and-slash where players take on massive hordes of enemies as a team. The Warhammer universe faces certain doom, as the humanoid rat race, known as Skaven, has begun to run rampant.
The game is a chaotic trip through some of the most rat-infested areas in the Warhammer series and features a full co-op campaign in which four players have to work together to move through difficult enemy encounters.
Vermintide 2 has about six years of content now and recently released the versus game mode for free, as well as a new necromancer career path for the game’s bright wizard, making it a great point to jump in and experience all of its levels for such a cheap price.
Warhammer: Vermintide 2 is available on Steam for $2.99 with a 90% discount.
