Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice - GOTY Edition

Grab itSteam Deck: VerifiedLowest Steam price everRuns on older PCs

Steam: $29.99 (50% off) · regular price $59.99 · 95% positive Steam reviews (357,145) · ended Oct 15, 1:00 PM ET

What it is: A punishing third-person action game from FromSoftware set in late-1500s Sengoku Japan, where you play a one-armed shinobi sworn to protect a young lord. You deflect blows to break an enemy's posture and land a killing strike, use vertical traversal to reach higher ground, sneak up for stealth kills and swap between prosthetic arm tools. Grinding levels won't carry you past a tough boss, so you have to get better yourself.

What players say: Players praise the posture-based sword combat and the huge sense of accomplishment from beating its bosses, while warning that the learning curve is brutally steep.

Good to know: An internet connection is needed for its asynchronous multiplayer features.

Worth buying? For anyone who craves demanding, precise sword fights this is a must, rated 95% positive on Steam, and there's no better time to pick it up.

Steam: $8.24 (67% off) · regular price $24.99 · 94% positive Steam reviews (353,695) · ended Oct 22, 1:00 PM ET

What it is: A third-person action roguelike where you crash-land on a hostile alien planet and fight through waves of monsters and huge bosses to escape. Every run you collect items whose effects stack and combine in wild ways, and both you and the enemies keep scaling up the longer you survive. You can unlock a crew of survivors with their own weapons and skills, like the Engineer or the Huntress.

What players say: Players rave about the chaotic item stacking and frantic co-op runs with friends, though a few longtime fans say the game has slipped since the series changed hands, pointing to bugs and multiplayer desync.

Good to know: Online co-op supports up to four players, and there's also a rotating competitive challenge mode.

Worth buying? Run-based shooter fans who like experimenting with builds, solo or with a group, should dive in at 94% positive, with the price sitting at its all-time low.

Steam: $12.49 (50% off) · regular price $24.99 · 96% positive Steam reviews (108,970) · ended Oct 22, 1:00 PM ET

What it is: A space exploration mystery where you join a small fledgling space program in a solar system stuck repeating the same stretch of time. You travel between planets that change as time passes, like an underground city slowly buried by sand, decoding alien writing and tracking odd signals to learn what's going on. Your kit of gadgets even lets you roast a marshmallow at camp.

What players say: Players say it's best experienced completely blind and describe the curiosity-driven exploration and its payoff as something they wish they could forget and play again.

Worth buying? Curious explorers who like piecing together a mystery at their own pace will find something special here; 96% of Steam reviews are positive and the price has never been lower.

Steam: $19.99 (50% off) · regular price $39.99 · 82% positive Steam reviews (418,957) · ended Oct 15, 1:00 PM ET

What it is: An online extraction shooter set on a ruined future Earth overrun by deadly machines called ARC. You head to the surface solo or in a squad of up to three to scavenge loot and get out alive, while other raiders may team up with you or gun you down, then return to the underground city of Speranza to craft and upgrade gear in your workshop.

What players say: Players say solo raids are fun and other raiders are often surprisingly friendly there, but several report PvP lobbies overrun with cheaters, wallhackers and exploiters.

Good to know: It includes in-app purchases.

Worth buying? Raid lovers who don't mind sharing the map with strangers will have a good time at 82% positive, and the price has never dipped lower; skip it if you want something to play offline.

Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced

Worth a trySteam Deck: Unsupported

Steam: $19.79 (56% off) · regular price $44.99 · 83% positive Steam reviews (230,266) · It was $14.99 on Steam within the past year · ended Oct 22, 1:00 PM ET

What it is: An open-world crime game set in Los Santos, where three criminals with very different pasts get pulled together for a run of dangerous heists. You drive, shoot and race through the city and the surrounding countryside of Blaine County, and GTA Online comes as part of the package. This version brings upgraded graphics options such as ray tracing along with quicker load times.

What players say: Players still enjoy the crime-fueled chaos of Los Santos, but the most shared complaint is that recent updates slashed heist payouts in GTA Online.

Good to know: It's a large install that needs 105 GB of storage.

Worth buying? Crime sandbox lovers will get plenty out of it at 83% positive, but it needs a Rockstar account and pushes in-app purchases, so skip it if those bother you; it hit $14.99 on Steam within the past year, so patient buyers can wait for a deeper sale.

Pony Island

Pony Island key art

Grab itSteam Deck: VerifiedRuns on older PCs

Steam: Free · regular price $4.99 on Steam · 95% positive Steam reviews (18,173) · ended Oct 12, 2026

What it is: A psychological horror puzzle game wearing the costume of a cheerful pixel-art pony arcade cabinet. You're stuck in limbo inside a glitchy machine built by the devil, and you poke at its broken code and hack your way through his twisted pony game to escape. Expect the game to mess with you and break its own rules as you go.

What players say: Many reviewers keep up the running joke that it's a harmless pony game so its surprises stay hidden, though two found the puzzle gameplay turns repetitive and boring after a short while.

Good to know: Besides English, it is translated into languages such as French, German, Spanish, Russian and Simplified Chinese.

Worth grabbing? Anyone who likes clever, unsettling indie games that toy with the player will get a lot out of this, which fits its 95% approval on Steam.

Epic Games Store: Free · regular price $16.99 · 89% positive Steam reviews (2,252) · ended Oct 15, 11:00 AM ET

What it is: A relaxed medieval city-puzzler from Bitfall Studios where you grow a kingdom on hex-tile floating islands. You draw buildings from themed decks and place them for points based on what's nearby, like a fish trap beside fishing waters or a market near town districts, which unlocks new buildings and upgrades for your keep. Maps are randomly generated, and there's no timer pushing you along.

What players say: Players enjoy the pretty visuals and the satisfying puzzle of squeezing the most points out of each placement, but several found it gets too easy and repetitive once you have plenty of buildings.

Good to know: Beyond solo play, it has co-op and competitive multiplayer modes.

Worth grabbing? Fans of calm tile-placement puzzles have an easy free pick in this cozy kingdom builder, which sits at 89% positive on Steam.
