Steam Summer Sale - Top Deals (lemmy.world)

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!

Indeed, if you like creepy games and card games just buy it without looking closer - it is an incredible experience that shouldn't be spoiled.

I've heard many glowing reviews with this same sentiment. In order to avoid most spoilers, may I ask you here - if I didn't enjoy Undertale, would I still like this? I didn't enjoy the metagaming that undertale did, making fun of the player for reloading a save. It felt dishonest. Does Inscryption also do this?

I don't think this is anything like undertale, and I didn't like it either. It doesn't make fun of you for reloading iirc

Thank you!

I'll back up June. I was "that's pretty nice" on Undertale but wasn't nearly as positive on it as its fandom was. I loved Inscryption. It's not meta like Undertale, but it does have occasional fourth wall breaks, which is part of its game-within-a-game fiction.

It's a completely different game vs undertale. It's like comparing Dota 2 to DiRT rally, haha. It's worth going in blind, and the post-game is extremely good and very replayable (and adds new content).
