[STEAM] Good games under (or around) one buck [SUMMER SALE 2025]

I would add:

Everspace ( https://store.steampowered.com/app/396750/EVERSPACE/ ), a great roguelike arcade spaceflight/shooter.

Vaporum ( https://store.steampowered.com/app/629690/Vaporum/ ), a steampunk dungeon crawler similar to Legend of Grimrock/Dungeon Master/Eye of the Beholder.

Forgotton Anne ( https://store.steampowered.com/app/542050/Forgotton_Anne/ ), puzzle platformer with art similar to the style of Studio Ghibli.

It took me just a couple of seconds of looking at the store page to buy HER STORY. Thanks!

I heard that Deus Ex is a genre-defining masterpiece (the genre being "immersive sim"), so that would be my suggestion.

Hello popocho,

Please remove the links that are under the games under $1 and $2 as they aren't allowed to be posted as they host grey market sites. This is just a warning, but please make sure not to repeat that again in the future, as next time action to be taken.

These are my kinds of lists. Thank you for starting this!

Picked up Van Helsing in the sale, wanted an ARPG cause I miss diablo and I could never really get into POE. Saw Grim Dawn mentioned a ton but can't afford that so it's for another day.
So far, really enjoying Van Helsing though!! Seems to be currently $1.49

Great topic, thanks for all the recommendations, gonna get some of these.

Thought I would check my cart (throw a bunch of games in there at start of sale, then do some research and whittle them down), and sure enough I had a few cheapies in there!

My region is USA. Unsure about these prices in other regions.

Flashout 3 looks like a great Wipeout-style game. $1.99
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1761870/FLASHOUT_3/

Manahex is a weird one. It's a CCG, but all cards are given to you upon purchase (so no collecting, just playing). It's somewhat similar to Spirit Wars and Sorcery TCG, if you're familiar with either of those. $1.19
