Top 10 Deals for the Steam Summer Sale
The glorious Steam Summer Sale is upon us again! The mega-sale that provoked Steam to host a sale every season, the Steam Summer Sale is known for having a few outrageously good deals that are just too good to pass up. In recent years, likely due to the overwhelming success and popularity of the sales, the deals have felt more than a bit diluted.
This year, however, promises to bring a real amount of excitement as the Summer Sale returns to its roots of providing its loyal user base with some absolutely spectacular prices on high quality games. We’ve compiled our list of the top 10 best deals for the Steam Summer Sale.It might be a good time to check connection speed as You might need some additional bandwidth to cope with amount of deals 🙂
10. Rocket League
Steam seems to be sticking to their guns on this one, as I believe RL has been featured in each of the summer sales to date. If you have not tried it yet, the physics-based car soccer phenomenon is well worth your time and money, especially while it boasts 50% off the regular price.
9. Tomb Raider Collection Â
How many of us remember the early days of Tomb Raider, with the rough polygons of Lara Croft shooting and leaping her way to glory? We’ve come a long way since then, but sometimes it is just as fun to relive the good old days as to play a new and polished game. The Tomb Raider Collection offers all Tomb Raider games (with the exception of Shadow of the Tomb Raider), old and new, along with a TON of DLC. Right now, this bundle is a whopping 86% off, meaning it is the perfect time for Lara Croft fans to dig into their wallets and get tomb raiding.
8. Elder Scrolls Online
ESO remains one of the forefront MMOs in 2019, with its latest expansion, Elsweyr, receiving a hugely popular reception. The ESO pricing model remains consistent, either pay for the expansions individually upfront and keep them forever, or pay a monthly subscription and enjoy all content while it is active. This flexibility, along with the base game sale of 50% off, opens the door to new players who have been on the fence.
7. Far Cry 5Â Â
With easily the best plot in the franchise, Far Cry 5 rewards players who have plenty of time to invest. With countless unlockables and side missions, this game punches well above its weight in value, even years after its release. This is especially true right now, when you can pick it up at 67% off.
6. Rage 2
While it may not have had the best reception, Rage 2’s open-world FPS insanity is 33% off with the Steam Summer Sale. For a AAA game with stunning graphics and amazing combat that was just released this year, Rage 2 is a huge addition to the Steam Summer Sale.
5. Far Cry New Dawn Â
Released this year as a sequel to Far Cry 5, New Dawn is a much shorter and more contained Far Cry experience. Set in a wildly-neon environment, New Dawn offers a fast-paced and fulfilling ride that is perfect for players who enjoy quick progression and fast resolutions. Currently 50% off with the Steam Summer Sale, it is definitely worth a buy.
4. Middle Earth Franchise
Assassin’s Creed meets Lord of the Rings in the Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War in a perfect mesh of gameplay and universe lore. Both games are 50% off with the steam sale and provide some serious single-player action fun. Be sure to check them out while the Steam Summer Sale is live!
3. Total War Warhammer IIÂ Â
For those who may not be familiar, the Total War franchise features grand strategy games with a dual focus on overall city/map control and real-time tactical unit control. The Total War Warhammer games exist (as you might expect) in the Warhammer universe, with Dwarves, Orcs, Humans, Vampires, High Elves and many more races to choose from. For fans of strategy, this is a solid snag at 50% off.
2. Project Cars 2
One of the most visually-stunning, authentic and technically-advanced racing games ever, Project Cars 2 is available 75% off, along with its DLC. As a bonus, Project Cars 2 offers VR support, putting you closer to the driver’s seat than ever before!
1. Borderlands: Handsome Collection Â
As you may have noticed by now, most of the games featured here are not brand new. Steam sales usually feature games that are a little older, but most of which are still relevant. This is why the Summer Sale is best used by those who missed a release and want to try it out a while later. To that effect, Borderlands: Handsome Collection contains Borderlands 2, more DLC than I can name, and the Borderlands: Pre-Sequel. Oh, and its currently 97% off. With Borderlands 3 just around the corner, what better way to keep the hype going than to dive into Borderlands 2 (again) ?!
