Initial scrolling of the Steam Summer Sale seems pretty lackluster, but digging through the comments sections in other threads, a few gems have stood out, and it doesn't appear we have a thread dedicated to this yet, so post what you think are the best deals here!

Not mandatory ofc, but it'd be helpful if...

  • One game per top level post, so comments stemming from it are focused on on just it.

  • Hyperlink the game title to its Store Page

  • Include both the normal and sale price / %off

  • Include a short blurb about the game - if it's one you've played before, what did you like about it? If you're diving in blind, what grabbed your attention?

Good hunt'n!

For sure! And as much negative I said about the combat, it's punchy, never drags on, and the enemies you fight are usually all set up well as part of the story. They're not just random mobs, so even the fighting has good narrative weight even if it's not the mechanically deepest ever.

This time through, I've been making different choices and stopping to explore more and take in more of the world. First time I played it, I had NO IDEA that if you stopped and listened to some npc convos you can pick up quests that way! Doesn't even really feel like I'm playing it over again, or retreading the same stuff. There's SO much in it.
