Here are all the best indie games that are currently on sale on Steam, which is a great time to save money.
It’s sale time on Steam, and there are deals on some of our favorite indie games from this year’s Indie Spotlight, as well as a lot of other games we haven’t had the chance to talk about yet.
FTL
Faster Than Light needs no explanation. FTL is one of the best indie games of all time, and you can play it over and over again. The goal of the game is to control a spaceship through a trip that takes you to many different planets and star systems. You have to deal with the problems and trials that the game’s cruel story system throws at you. FTL has everything: aliens, pirates, and strange people from space. I’ve spent a lot of time gritting my teeth and going on while my last spaceship has been blown to pieces. at a huge deal on Steam right now.
Valheim
Valheim is one of the most amazing indie hits of the last few years. As someone who writes about video games, it was one of the first games I played, and it couldn’t have been a better start. Even though it seems like the game is being made at a snail’s pace, there is still a lot of Norse survival action in the game. Valheim is best played with a small group of friends. It will take you across seas, swamps, and grassy fields, where you will fight huge bosses and find unique treasures. At this price, you really can’t go wrong with it.
Slay The Spire
If you have never played Slay the Spire, you should do so right away. It’s free on Game Pass right now, and it’s also way cheaper than ever on Steam right now. Do not give up on cards. It’s probably the best deck-building game ever made. It’s very smart and complicated, but also easy for people who have never played a game like this before. You might find a new type of game that you love.
The Forgotten City
Last year, our favorite game was The Forgotten City, which you can learn more about here. In short, though, this is a great trip back in time to a Roman city that is falling apart. It’s creepy, full of secrets, and has some of the best storylines we’ve ever seen in a game. Even if you already have a bunch of 2022 games to play, it’s time to play this one.
Hades
Hades is another game that doesn’t need much of a start. This roguelite follows Zagreus as he escapes from the Underworld (again and again and again) while a cast of funny, loveable, and weird people tell their stories and your fighting skills improve. The right amount of hack-and-slash and story. This is the best thing that could happen.
Hollow Knight
It’s likely that Hollow Knight is one of the best Metroidvania games ever made. I loved the mood, but I stayed because each level was hard. There are always surprises, but if you put in the time, you’ll be able to jump through each map with a little less trouble each time. The controls are easy to use, the boss fights are deceptively hard but can be learned with enough playthroughs, and the free updates that Drive Mad game has been getting since it came out have made it a star.
To The Moon
To the Moon is one of the few games that really moved me, even though I’m usually a cynic. It tells the story of two Doctors who go into the dying man’s hazy memories. They give people a chance to live a second life, but everything happens in the mind of the person who is dying. It’s dark, interesting, heartwarming, and a great take on what life is all about. Video games can be a great way to tell stories when they’re done with this much style.
Hotline Miami
Hotline Miami is another well-known indie game that will be on sale during the Steam deal. Dennaton Games’ Hotline Miami is a game that is fast-paced, stylish, and brutally hard. It feels like a very important game in terms of its story and gameplay. They didn’t worry about making it weird. This was also a big break for the indie distributor Devolver Digital, and we all know how that turned out.
