Recommend summer sale games that you already own [ended]

Open

So, the Steam Summer Sale is upon us, and to be honest it's pretty disappointing. From my entire wishlist, only three games over 75% discount, the vast majority are at 30-50% off. And I know, I shouldn't complain... 30-50% off is still a very fine deal. But I guess I've been spoilt by years of 80-90% off discounts, and it's made me a somewhat patient and frugal gamer. I'm quite happy to wait for a decent price as I feel less guilty about spending my money on it.

Anyway... while I couldn't find much to buy myself, I realised many of my favourite games in my library are on sale. So I ask you, take a look through your library and pick out some of your favourites, and it they have a reasonably good sale price right now, recommend them to everyone! Not a strict rule, but try to recommend games that are at least 50% off or more at the moment.

I'll start then:

Transistor is one of my favourite games of all time. I really can't recommend it enough. Beautiful soundtrack, beautiful artwork, I loved the gameplay mechanics - they took the already great Bastion style gameplay and improved on it immensely. Everyone should play this game. Currently 75% off.

Mark of the Ninja is probably still my favourite indie game. Stealth platformer with a great atmosphere, tight controls and excellent gameplay. Loved it. Hell why not splash out on the Special Edition! Both are currently 75% off.

Recettear is an amazing little game. Manage a shop, hire adventurers to explore dungeons to get rare items to sell, raise your prices and get rich. Capitalism, ho! Seriously fun game, I've played through it twice. Currently 75% off.

Gunpoint is just awesome. Fantastic writing lift this ordinary looking stealth game above most of the others. Tom Francis, the one man dev team, is amazing. A mix of puzzle, strategy, stealth, action.. watch the videos to get an idea, but this is a great little game. Currently 75% off.

Ori and the Blind Forest is an outstanding platformer. When you get in to it and start unlocking more abilities, it's up there with the best of the genre like Mario, Metroid etc. Really nicely done, with great artwork and music to top it off. Currently 75% off. might only be a discount if you own the original version?

The Long Dark is a very decent survival game. Bought it a long time ago in Early Access, it's still in Early Access but the devs are pretty active and it has improved a lot since then. The kind of game you can get drawn in to the atmosphere and lose a few hours. Currently 66% off.

Party Hard is a simple but addictive stealth/action pixel graphic game. It actually took a lot more strategy to complete than I first expected. Really good fun, entertainingly violent, worth it for the price. Currently 75% off.

12 is Better Than 6 plays like a western Hotline Miami. I really enjoyed it. It's fairly short, but good fun and worth your time. Currently 70% off.

And... well I guess this will get more exposure with a few giveaways to bump. Here you go!

Level 5 - Transistor

Level 5 - Mark of the Ninja

Level 4 - Recettear

Level 4 - Gunpoint
