    Steam Sale Megathread

    Disclaimer - I'm not encouraging anyone to buy game that they don't think they will play or to participate in capitalism in anyway they feel uncomfortable. This is intended as an entertaining list to see what's currently on deep discount.

    With that out of the way and the Steam Summer Sale currently underway, I thought I start a thread to discuss games that were solid and currently listed at a discount. I also am interested in any games that the VG community would be interesting in playing together in the future. Please feel free to add more to the list.

    Borderlands 2 - $3.00 - https://store.steampowered.com/app/49520/Borderlands_2/

    Sentinels of the Multiverse - $1.99 - https://store.steampowered.com/app/3...he_Multiverse/

    Civilization 6 -$2.99 - https://store.steampowered.com/app/2...vilization_VI/

    Celeste - $1.99 - https://store.steampowered.com/app/504230/Celeste/

    Batman Arkham Knight - $1.99 - https://store.steampowered.com/app/2...Arkham_Knight/

    Disco Elysium - $3.99 - https://store.steampowered.com/app/6...The_Final_Cut/

    It is very likely we will have a Valiant Together game day where Civ VI is our chosen game. At that price, it's a steal. I encourage anyone who likes Civ and doesn't already have it to pick it up!

    EDIT: I can think of a number of games that would make good Valiant Together candidates, so let me link some of them here for any who may be interested. All of these are under $10!
    Among Us $2.99 (-40%)
    Civilization VI $2.99 (-95%)
    Left 4 Dead 2 $0.99 (-90%)
    Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition $5.99 (-70%)
    Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 $7.49 (-75%)
    Quake $3.99 (-60%)
    Valheim $9.99 (-50%)

      GOOD thread.

      Some others I've taken note of don't quite hit that delicious, sub-five mark but, there are some really good deals under ten bucks on stuff y'see around a lot, with people still playing quite often, or not yet having had a chance to play at all.

      Lethal Company - $7.49 - https://store.steampowered.com/app/1...ethal_Company/
      (Possibly needs little-to-no introduction but, it's an interesting spin on existing titles that has maintained popularity.)

      Hades - $9.99 - https://store.steampowered.com/app/1145360/Hades/
      (Fast action. The sequel came out a few months back or so -- good time to catch the first game cheap!)

      Road 96 - $4.99 - https://store.steampowered.com/app/1466640/Road_96/
      (Road trip gone very wrong. Or very right. Or very... boring? Multiple endings, with choices which matter greatly.)

      Marvel vs Capcom 3 - $7.49 - https://store.steampowered.com/app/3...L_VS_CAPCOM_3/
      (For the Capcom fighter fans out there. Been around forever at this point, but maintains an active following.)

      Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection - $9.89 - https://store.steampowered.com/app/5...ry_Collection/
      (Mixed reviews but, if you're looking for SF3, everyone seems very pleased with the purchase.)

      American Truck Simulator - $1.99 - https://store.steampowered.com/app/2...uck_Simulator/
      (Hear me out: If you're curious whether it IS your thing, you'll only need to lift a couch cushion to cover the price tag.)

        I updated my post above to include some more games that I think would make for good multiplayer game nights. I'd love to get feedback while we have the sale going on. Also, Althena and Wandervox, I picked up the Capcom Fighting Bundle, which includes the Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection that Vox linked to above. Let's test that out sometime soon!

          Either as good Valiant Together picks, or just games I recommend: (FYI Random Encounter and Wandervox I also grabbed Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection! Also Marvel vs. Capcom 3, because it's Mahvel, baby!)

            I fear no man. But buying and getting sucked into another Civ game.. that scares me.

              I just splurged and finally got a good laptop. And now Dawntrail is out and my soul has been incarcerated by its majesty.

              But as soon as I finish DT, I'm hoping to get some cheap games I have missed out on... provided my wallet allows me. Steam sales are the best and worst thing.

                    I've had a bit of fun today playing around with Bomb Rush Cyberfunk. It's currently 50% off, and at $20 it's a pretty faithful re-imagining of Jet Set Radio!

                    Bomb Rush Cyberfunk is 1 second per second of advanced funkstyle. Battle rival crews and dispatch militarized police to conquer the five boroughs of New Amsterdam. Become All City.
