Oh my God, is it already that moment? Yes, the Steam Fall Sale has arrived, bringing seasonal discounts on thousands of games. Awards season is also on, so they’ve opened nominations for the annual Steam Awards. You can vote and get the discounts by December 1 at 10 a.m. PST / 6 p.m. GMT.
As always, there is a bajillion of metric games on sale. It wouldn’t be a Steam sale otherwise. I’ll make some sense of the lot later with everyone, but for now I’ve picked a few picks from this year that might tickle your fancy.
Every year there are games that I have been anticipating for a while that on launch day I realize that I just don’t have the time or the money to justify the hitches. “Maybe I’ll be more motivated when there is a sale,” I thought to myself. With that in mind, here are some of this year’s releases that are already getting a decent discount, as RPS reviews have already spoken:
Deep Rock Galactic (30% off) – Previously in Early Access, this cooperative dwarf mining FPS game broke a full version in May. RPS’s Deep Rock Galactic review calls it a gem that’s more than the sum of its parts – which are inspired by Left 4 Dead and Minecraft, for what it’s worth.
Desperados 3 (40% OFF) – This tactical cowboy stealth game is the one I feel the most guilty about not playing yet, because I really enjoyed the previous Shadow Tactics stealth game from Mimimi Games. Our Desperadoes 3 review calls it as brilliant as Shadow Tactics, so I’m still excited.
Röki (40% off) – This snowy Scandinavian point-and-click ’em up is a mystery full of puzzles and mysteries. Our Röki review says that despite the cute aesthetic, she is surprisingly deep and punchy and one of the few close relatives of What Remains Of Edith Finch.
Ori and the will of the wisps (50% off) – The sequel to the great platformer Ori And The Blind Forest was also quite good. Our review Ori And The Will Of The Wisps describes it as fascinating. It is certainly very beautiful to look at like its predecessor.
Eternal doom (67% off) – It’s Doom. You know Doom. It’s a really good doom too, I hear. Our Doom Eternal review says it’s dazzling and has all kinds of kind words for the Super Shotgun grappling hook.
There you go, it’s the start of your Steam purchases.
As for the rewards, you have until December 1 to name some of your own favorites in 10 categories. This year is adding categories for “Best Soundtrack and“ Sit Back and Relax ”.
