On the 10th day of the Steam Summer Sale there are many games that are often heavily discounted alongside newer ones. The question is which of these are worth your money?
- Baldur’s Gate II: Enhanced Edition – $6.24 – According to many, this game is a ‘modern’ classic RPG. As is the case with most of these re-engineered versions, I’ve not played the Enhanced Edition specifically. All in all, it’s a pretty sweet price. Buy.
- Chivalry – Medieval Warfare – $4.99 – Chivalry is based off the Half-Life 2 mod Age of Chivalry. I enjoyed that one tremendously but this sequel… well, not so much. Still, this is the cheapest price and not bad for multiplayer medieval action. Buy.
- Football Manager 2014 – $12.49 – 75% off is a pretty sweet deal although still a bit pricey. Unfortunately, as with many annual games, Steam regularly removes the previous version once a new one is available. Because of that Football Manager 2014 will probably never reach a cheaper price before 2015 comes out at full price. Buy.
- Garry’s Mod – $2.49 – Every once in a while Garry’s Mod gets a fire sale price. Even so, this is the best yet. This is not a game but more of a physics sandbox to create and mess with stuff. If you enjoy creating then this price is a steal. Buy.
- Goat Simulator – $5.99 – Goat Simulator is a purposefully silly game in which you control a bouncing, licking, and sometimes monstrous goat. If you enjoy screwing around in a sandbox then this is definitely worth $6. With that said I wholly expect the game to drop beyond 40% off in the future. Wait.
- Portal 2 – $4.99 – Portal 2 is a fantastic puzzle platformer and, so far, seems to bottom out at $4.99. Definitely nab it if you’ve not played yet. It may even be worth getting the Portal bundle if you also missed the original game. Buy.
- Shadowrun Returns – $3.74 – This is the discount of the day in my opinion. Shadowrun Returns is a downright massive tactical RPG. Of course this also happens to be the best discount available so far. Buy.
- Thief – $14.99 – For a relatively new triple-A title this isn’t a bad price, but many seem to dislike the new take on Thief. With that being the case better discounts are very likely in the future. Wait.
- Wolfenstein: The New Order – $29.99 – Here’s a game that came out in May and is already 50% off. What does that say to me? It suggests far better deals are coming once the game ages a bit. Wait.
Today I crafted the following badges: Steam Summer Adventure 2014, Steam Summer Getaway, and Rush Bros.
