Initial scrolling of the Steam Summer Sale seems pretty lackluster, but digging through the comments sections in other threads, a few gems have stood out, and it doesn’t appear we have a thread dedicated to this yet, so post what you think are the best deals here!

Not mandatory ofc, but it’d be helpful if…

  • One game per top level post, so comments stemming from it are focused on on just it.

  • Hyperlink the game title to its Store Page

  • Include both the normal and sale price / %off

  • Include a short blurb about the game - if it’s one you’ve played before, what did you like about it? If you’re diving in blind, what grabbed your attention?

Good hunt’n!

    Overcooked! 2 $6.24 (75% off, matching the all-time low)

    Chaotic co-op cooking, local or online. Complete restaurant orders quickly in increasingly absurd scenarios. Cook in a haunted kitchen, above a mineshaft, in the middle of the highway, or on a burning hot air balloon that crashes into another restaurant! This is the kind of game that people joke will ruin friendships.

      I got overcooked 1. It was over difficult and felt too much like work and not fun like a game should be. Maybe 2 is better but I’ve no incentive to try it out.

        Maybe you’re just not the type of person for that type of game. I’ve spent lots of hours playing it with m girlfriend. Sometimes it’s fun, often it’s frustrating and I just can’t be motivated to try and improve my efficiency to get that third or fourth star in many of the levels. It’s fine that way.

      Overcooked 2 has one of those perfect gaming moments: the balloon crashes into a another restaurant, and instead of a cutscene, we just start getting orders off a different menu. It really sets the tone for the game.

        It’s such a cool moment. It really slapped me on the knee. Most memorable part of the game.
