Just in time for Black Friday, Steam is having an awesome Autumn Sale that features some heavy discounts on a bunch of fantastic games. The sale ends on Dec. 3 at 10 a.m. PT so make sure to check out the games that are on sale, but if you’re having trouble picking out the best ones, we have a handy list for you down below:
Gears 5
Original Price: $59.99
Sale Price: $29.99 (50% off)
Gears 5 is the latest entry in the hardcore third-person shooter series and it pulls out all of the stops when it comes to delivering an exceptional experience that is highly satisfying and is just a very technically sound video game.
Here’s what our reviewer, Chris Jecks, had to say about it earlier this year:
“The entire thing is then wrapped up lovingly with stellar visuals, a beautiful, emotive soundtrack, and breathtaking, super-smooth performance that it gets really hard to pick out flaws in Gears 5 as a whole experience.
There’s something for everyone here, whether you’re a newcomer or a long-term fan, and then when you think you’re done, there’s a ton more to keep you playing. It’s the gift that keeps on giving.”
Life is Strange 2
Original Price: $39.95
Sale Price: $19.67 (51% off )
Dontnods sequel to Life is Strange doubles down on telling a touching and emotional story that stars two brothers who are on the run after an accident that involved the death of their father.
The complete season is set to come to an end once the fifth and final episode launches next month so there’s no better time to jump into the series on Steam than right now.
Code Vein
Original Price: $59.99
Sale Price: $41.99 (30% off)
If you have been interested in getting into some Dark Souls-esque combat and gameplay but may be too intimidated by the actual Dark Souls games, Code Vein might be a good choice for you, especially if you like anime and JRPGs.
The combat takes a lot from FromSoftware’s series but adds in some changes that makes it very accessible and the title even has a surprisingly compelling narrative as well as a super-deep character customization tool.
Man of Medan
Original Price: $29.99
Sale Price: $17.99 (40% off)
As a huge fan of Supermassive’s narrative-driven adventure title, Until Dawn, I was very excited for Man of Medan, the first title in the Dark Pictures Anthology.
It turns out that this title doesn’t live up to the studio’s past game due to its not-so-great story and forgettable characters, but if you have some friends in tow, this can still be a fun multiplayer experience to play through in one night.
At the price of less than 20 bucks, I would totally recommend picking this up from the Steam Autumn Sale this year even with its flaws.
Resident Evil 2
Original Price: $59.99
Sale Price: $19.79 (67% off)
It’s honestly safe to say that Resident Evil 2 is one of, if not the best, remakes of all time in the history of video game remakes. Capcom took the narrative and structure of the classic PS1 horror title and pumped it up to fit in as a current-generation game.
The game is technically sound, the zombies are more frightening than they’ve ever been, and the visuals are so clean and nice to look at.
And who can forget Mr. X. The creepiest monster in RE history.
If you’re looking for a spooky game in the Steam Autumn Sale, Resident Evil 2 is an excellent pick.
