Spacehulk: Deathwing ($23.99 at 40% off): With a lot of fixes and improvements, as well as the long-awaited implementation of dynamic missions, Spacehulk: Deathwing is an amazing re-imagining of the Left 4 Dead formula in Warhammer 40k aesthetic.
Outlast ($2.99 at 85% off): One of the freakiest horror games I've ever played, Outlast absolutely nails the feeling of being in an insane asylum that has fallen to evil and every step is an adrenaline rush that combines body and psychological horror with the supernatural.
Stellaris ($19.99 at 50% off): An amazing addition to the 4x genre that combines relaxing-yet-involved gameplay as you micromanage your interstellar civilization with engaging storytelling. Stellaris stands well on it's own but when you add the expansion Utopia to the mix it gets even better. Not only that, but heavy game customization and mod support ensures that every player can find a way to make their own experience unique.
No Man's Sky ($23.99 at 60% off): Despite the poor launch and disappointment that has surrounded No Man's Sky every since people got their hands on it, recent updates have turned it in to a fun exploration focused survival game that can go from a relaxing zen experience to a hardcore and nearly impossible survival epic.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt ($23.99 at 40% off): One of the single best RPGs I have ever played, Witcher 3 combines amazing visuals with fantastic storytelling and wraps it all together with fluid and punishing combat that can be scaled through various difficulty levels to any level of challenge a player wants to endure.
Thief: Deadly Shadows ($1.79 at 80% off): An amazing stealth game with clever story writing and memorable characters that was the sole reason I started playing thief characters in RPGs. One of my all time favorite games that uses amazing (for its time) light and sound dynamics to force players to value patience, timing, observation and planning as they approach each level.
Elite: Dangerous ($14.99 at 50% off): This one goes without saying. The best damn space sim on the market. A 1:1 procedurally generated realistic galaxy with an in-depth background simulation that makes you feel like you are actually a freelance pilot cruising the stars in the 34th century.
DOOM ($14.99 at 50% off): Taking traditional, fast-paced shooters with an emphasis on slaughtering demons in the most badass ways possible and bringing it in to modern graphics technology makes DOOM 2016 one of my favorite games ever, and it is an absolute steal at fifteen bucks.
Dead Space 1 & 2 ($8.74 Bundle at 75% off): Dead Space and Dead Space 2 are two of the best sci-fi survival horror games ever made and to be able to get them both for less than ten bucks is a steal. Necromorphs are iconic (actually iconic not Ubisoft iconic) monsters and the Dead Space universe is filled with atmosphere and dark secrets that meshes well with a sci-fi setting to the point it's almost sad that the series' 3rd installment flopped like it did due to EA trying to make it in to a cover shooter. Still, the first 2 games stick to what made the series what it was, and are worth the money.
Star Wars: Republic Commando ($2.49 at 75% off): Dating back to the golden age of shooters before call of duty mechanics became the norm, Republic Commando is one of the most well-loved Star Wars games ever made, with characters so memorable that they were added in to the animated television series. Multiplayer still works with use of tools like Gameranger, as well, but at less than three bucks it's well worth it just for the halo-esque single player campaign.
Dust: An Elysian Tail ($2.99 at 80% off): A hand-panted metroidvania with clever and somber writing, fantastic gameplay, memorable characters, and gorgeous scenery. Dust is a shining example of what Indie devs are capable of given they put the time and effort required in to them. Three bucks for this masterpiece is well worth it.
Dragon Age: Origins ($7.49 at 75% off): A fantastic and challenging fantasy RPG dating back to when Bioware was as amazing as people remember them for being. Amazing story, fun gameplay and options, engaging dialogue, and this particular edition comes with all expansions and tons of additional content packs.
Tabletop Simulator ($9.99 at 50% off): A must-have for groups of friends who want to have game nights but live all over the world from each other. Tabletop simulator provides an easy-to-use virtual game table that can be used to play pretty much any board game or card game or tabletop game you can think of. The Steam Workshop for Tabletop Simulator has tens of thousands of games and items to download and import to your server and will server everybody well in this time of online socialization.
Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide ($9.89 at 67% off): A fun mission-based left 4 dead esque hack and slash that pits multiple heroes in co-op up against a horde of ratmen with progression and loot drops to customize your favorite hero. Lots of fun and a great time waster for less than ten bucks.
Shadow of Mordor ($3.99 at 80% off): Another amazing RPG with Assassins Creed style gameplay and combat with an open world and amazing enemy based mechanics that will absolutely get you a run for the pocket change you can get it for right now.
Starbound ($10.04 at 33% off): Terraria but with sci-fi themes, numerous planets to explore, a storyline to follow, and plenty of dungeons to stumble upon as you explore the galaxy in a bid to survive. Some of the most fun I've had with a minecraft-esque.
There are plenty of other games on sale but these are the ones I've personally played and will highly recommend for the price you can get them at now. Praise be Holy GabeN!
