Here at onPause, we love the Steam summer sale. Since we are not fans of the summer heat, it is a great way to grab a few games for little money, and spend the hot afternoons in the cool AC. The sale will last until July 22, and every day we will tell you which are our favorite games in the Daily Deals, along with one Under $10 and Under $5 game.
Blindfolding myself and clicking a Steam page at random would serve me better recommendations than Steam’s algorithm
Hmm, not sure I agree with that. The recommendations I get are usually pretty good, but then again I have pretty large library of games on Steam and hundreds of them in my wish list, along with lots of curators I follow for it to build recommendations off of. On occasion it will throw me a random FIFA game or something I've never bought or shown interest in, but mostly its decent IMO.
Dive into the best Metroidvania games on Steam, from hidden gems to top-rated classics, and embark on unforgettable adventures!
Players can pay to edit their character, resurrect the dead and other actions.
Yet Helldivers 2 gets a pass? Y’know a GotY contender by the name of RE4 had them and so does Devil May Cry V. The funny thing is I enjoyed both of those games thoroughly without having to buy a single microtransaction.
What I do consider a valid complaint is not being able to start a new game or being able to edit your character. That’s kind of a seriously baffling decision, but then I think how I played Dragon’s Dogma 1 and I never edited my character and I just did a 100% playthrough on a single file and didn’t start a NG since. So, I don’t think these are really going to impact me, but I can see how it will others.
I was going to pay full price to support this game because I've been waiting for it for forever but I think I'll wait until I get it for free from Epic or a Humblebundle monthly.
I am not defending Capcom, as I am not a fan of MTX in single player games. I do however belive they were open to reviewers about having MTX in their game. The reviewers just decided to leave that part out. Which is very disingenuous. There are some companies that get away with these things. Image if this was done by EA, Ubisoft, or even Activision? I am positive those defending Capcom, would have had their pitchforks ready if the companies listed above did this
I'm impressed by what I have seen in the sale so far and am looking forward to playing Blood Money and Antichamber.
Hotline Miami is where it is at.
My credit card is ready
Just a heads up.
While Infinite is 50% off on steam at the moment, they are having the same deal at Greenman, as well as also offering another 20% off of that with their current coupon.
You can get the game there for $24, which is a very good deal.
Did just that, and I also grabbed Defiance after really enjoying it when it was on the free weekend over a month ago.
TAKE ALL OF MY MONEY. Good list btw :)
