      Depends on what you’re looking for. Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse is a great metroidvania platformer, Shadowrun Hongkong if you want to experience a cyberpunk+fantasy RPG, Rebel Galaxy for a space game with some trading and naval-style combat (ships don’t move in up/down directions), Van Helsing for a diablo-like experience

      I’m also seeing Hyperdimension Neptunia on the sale, though I have no clue if it’s any good. I always get baffled by the amount of games in that series

      The Witness (2016) is a really good puzzler, as is The Talos Principle (2014) (it’s gotten a UE5 remaster now).

      Crypt of the NecroDancer is a steal at $3. And it definitely made me feel old seeing it on this list 😭

      I just went through what’s on sale, I didn’t verify the release dates or anything.

      Kerbal Space Program is a great time. It’s the kind of game where it either grabs you and doesn’t let go, or you’ll drop it pretty fast.

      I liked Sunless Sea, but then you really just have to give a game an Eldritch aesthetic and I’ll probably be there for it.

      The Escapists is a neat game to play with some friends.

      Fallout 4 has some flaws, especially if you’re a fan of the previous games, but it’s a decent game anyways.

        KSP is still the best ‘build an entire space program’ sim, now that KSP2 has erm, failed to launch, or maybe suffered a RUD… and KSP 1 now has a decade of quite frankly astonishing expansive mods.

        Try KSP Realism Overhaul and Principa if you want to up the difficulty a bit, lol.
