It’s the end of the year, you have a little free time, and you’re thinking about playing something. We know. We’ve been there. Because it’s Steam sale time, you know, and if you’re here, it’s because you need to know which ones you can’t miss—the best ones. There are too many to choose from, and that’s why we’ve picked the eight that will make your eyes sparkle. The eight that, believe us, will make your end of the year perfect.

Slay the Spire (€2.29 | -90%)

In March, the early access version of a candidate for GOTY 2026, Slay the Spire 2, will be released. Perhaps to celebrate this, the studio has put the original game at an absolutely ridiculous price: €2.29. You have paid for coffees that are more expensive than this game, and believe us, it will not only give you more energy than any coffee you have ever had, but it will also provide you with infinite hours in one of the best roguelikes and deckbuilders in history. At least until we see what its sequel has to offer and whether it can surpass the original.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (€2.99 | -90%)

Speaking of potentially infinite games for ridiculous prices, paying less than 3 euros for The Witcher 3 feels almost like an insult. Between 50 and 60 hours to complete just the main story, and you could go up to between 100 and 200 if you get distracted or want to do everything, this is a game from which you will get everything you want for every euro paid and then some. Because even though the Netflix series is not at its best, it is still The Witcher. Just because Netflix hasn’t known how to exploit it doesn’t mean it’s bad now.

Fallout 76 (€3.99 | -90%)

We continue with games that you won’t finish this year or the next, and that also have a television series. Because for a ridiculous price you can get Fallout 76, the game that will shape the upcoming seasons of the Fallout series on Prime Video. What does that mean? That if you are enjoying the series and want to get ahead of what is going to happen, the perfect place to start with the games is here. And not just because it keeps evolving every day that passes.

Nioh: Complete Edition (€4.99 | -90%)

From Software has no competition when it comes to soulslike games. No one makes them like they do, because that’s what they were created for. But Team Ninja managed to create a new branch of them, more focused on action, which has captivated a particular audience. The result is the Nioh saga, which will release its third installment in a few months, but you can now get its first installment with all its DLCs for less than 5 euros. A real bargain if you’re not intimidated by a good challenge.

Hollow Knight: Silksong (€15.60 | -20%)

Here we conclude with the offers that will make you wonder if Steam is in their right mind to include those that perhaps require a second thought, but not two. Because when it comes to challenges, Hollow Knight: Silksong is two things: one of the most anticipated and celebrated games in recent years and a game capable of energizing the most seasoned player. Absolutely fantastic in aesthetics and extremely difficult for some and simply challenging for others, it is a divisive game, but it has captivated the audience. And now it can be obtained for almost, almost, just 15 euros.

Red Dead Redemption 2 (€19.99 | -80%)

We highly recommend Red Dead Redemption 2 in these lists, but let’s be honest. It’s one of those games that is impossible not to recommend. It’s huge, it’s fun, and it captivates. It’s an absolutely fantastic game that, for just 20 euros, is an investment you don’t even have to think about if it catches your interest even slightly, whether you’re a fan of GTA or westerns. Because if you meet either of the two previous conditions, Red Dead Redemption 2 is going to enchant you.

ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN (€29.99 | -25%)

If there is a game that seems like you have to love or hate, it is Elden Ring Nightreign. Many people have very strange attitudes towards this game, we don’t quite understand why, because we are going to be honest: we think it is a very fun game. Taking the formula of soulslikes and applying it to the logic of multiplayer games, it is an incredibly fun game with friends and sometimes brilliant with strangers. If you like soulslikes for their online component, get it right now, and if it catches your attention and you’re not sure, it’s only 30 euros. Where do 30 euros really take you in this economy?

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (39.99€ | -20%)

The GOTY according to the Game Awards and most lists of the best of the year. And there must be something to it when they bless the water. With only a 20% discount and for almost 40 euros, it is the most expensive game on the list, but let’s be honest: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has probably caught your eye. It’s a different RPG, more focused on action, and everyone is in love with its narrative and its world. And now that you have a few days to dedicate your attention to it, isn’t this the perfect time to dive into a game that lasts between 20 and 30 hours?
