It doesn’t catch us by surprise. We knew the date and were expecting it. The Steam autumn sales have arrived and they are as juicy as one could expect. With prices for every budget and games for all tastes, there is something for everyone, no matter your budget and preferences. It is also true that with thousands of games on sale, it can be difficult to choose. That’s why let us guide you on this journey by making a selection of games you shouldn’t miss for anything in the world.
Monster Train (€2.45 | -90%)
The most popular card roguelike that isn’t called Slay The Spire has made quite a splash since its release in 2020. With a fabulous sequel that came out on May 21 and improves upon the excellent foundations of the original, if you haven’t played Monster Train yet, this is the perfect excuse. For the price of a decent medium coffee, you have hundreds of hours ahead of you to discover why people have become obsessed with a roguelike that, even after the release of its sequel, continues to be played frantically.
Mafia III: Definitive Edition (€2.99 | -90%)
Mafia III has the stigma of being considered a bad game when the reality is different: it is a good game burdened by its name. It is not GTA and certainly does not aim to be, but it is a good Mafia. Even if it changes significantly from the previous two installments. Its narrative is interesting, its mechanics are up to par, and for three euros, you won’t find a better excuse to see that perhaps we were too harsh on a more than decent game.
Two Point Campus (€2.99 | -90%)
If you are of a certain age, you surely remember games like Theme Hospital or Theme Park. Business management games, building the buildings, hiring staff, and making sure everything runs as it should. Two Point Campus is its spiritual successor, putting us in the position of having to manage something that only in the US would be understood as a business: a university campus. Make sure classes are running, that the labs have everything they need, and that no dinosaur escapes down the hallways. Dinosaurs? Don’t ask, it’s 3 euros: try it for yourself.
Control Ultimate Edition (€3.99 | -90%)
Although Alan Wake 2 has shown the world that Remedy are the best in their field, some of us already knew that long before. For example, when they released Control. To be fair, we already knew it before that, but in Control it was already indisputable: a game that perfectly blends weird fiction with a third-person shooter in a game as suggestive as it is artistically impeccable that leaves you wanting more. And you can, because a sequel has been announced. Although for what you are going to pay for the original, you also have no reason not to know if you want more Control or not.
PEAK (€5.99 | -20%)
The massive phenomenon of the year has been a climbing game. Who would have thought? But that’s PEAK: a game that draws from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild to take the best of it, the stamina management, to build an entire game around it. If we add to that playing with friends and proximity chat, we have this game that has taken the gaming world by storm for good reasons. And now you can discover it for a couple of euros less. Which isn’t much, but it’s already a cheap game normally.
Dead Cells (€12.49 | -50%)
Now that Silksong has been released, you might be craving more metroidvania. Or things inspired by metroidvania. And the closest thing on crazy sale is Dead Cells. A frantic roguelike, heavily inspired by the genre, where dying, exploring, and fighting is the foundation of everything. Because we are going to do it many times. A frantic and crazy game that, even with all its DLC, doesn’t double its price, which is the GOTY every year if you like this kind of games and, after Silksong, want more exploration with strong doses of crazy action.
REMATCH (€19.99 | -20%)
The football games of the past have not delivered this year, but that has opened the door for a new game that has decided to make its way into this highly competitive field. REMATCH is the new game from the creators of Sifu who have decided to create a very arcade-style, very fluid, and fast-paced 3v3 football game. Extremely fun, especially with two friends, we only ask one thing: it’s cheap, but please, if you get the ball, don’t be a ball hog.
Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® III (€34.99 | -50%)
The latest Call of Duty so far is always a safe bet and, moreover, it is its most notable offering to date. If you haven’t played it yet and have been waiting for a good deal, this is the time. The campaign is enjoyable and, as always, its real substance is in the online mode. So if you want dozens of hours of shooting ahead, you’ll have to pay up, but you will undoubtedly get your money’s worth like every year.
