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!

Subnautica ~~$29.99~~ $9.89 (67% off)

Sci-fi survival builder: you're on a massive spacecraft that ends up crash landing on an ocean planet; your goal is to figure out wtf happened and find a way off the planet. This game is 80% feel-good tropical diving simulator; and 20% thalasaphobic deepsea horror. This has become one of my go-to "idk what to play" games that I keep returning to for a nice digital tropical vacation... with a dash of fleeing in terror from, uh... spoilers. No really though, if you don't already know this game's story, DO NOT start looking up videos and posts etc about it - just buy it and dive in.

This is one of my personal favorites and the one that introduced me to the crafting/survival genre. I highly recommend it.

Same here!

Do you have another recommendation? Preferably something with multiplayer and would be even cooler if it has a server I can host!

I really liked Grounded.

I haven’t tried it yet, but Abiotic Factor looks pretty fun and has great reviews. It’s early access though.

Abiotic Factor

Hadn't heard of that one... it's like a survival builder set in Half Life 1 lol. Wishlisted!
