Steam Summer Sale 2014: Hidden Deals
- Thread starter Dusk Golem

I'd say that depends on what kind of game you like.
I personally would recommend The Last Remnant and Toki Tori 2+ highly.
Other than that, I've seen the following games from this list recommended a lot (but I don't own them myself):
Marlow Briggs and the Mask of Death
Pac-Man Championship Edition DX+
PixelJunk Monsters Ultimate -
PixelJunk Shooter
Sid Meier's Pirates
Dusk Golem
A 21st Century Rockefeller
Obviously now is prime time for the topic as the sale no longer has any deals and the sale goes off in about 22 hours.
The Patricians and Merchants bundle (Darkstar One, Patrician III, and The Great Art Race) is on sale for $1.59 (80% off), which is less than buying Darkstar One by itself right now. (Darkstar One's on sale for $2.49 (75% off).)
Don't know about the other two games, but Darkstar One's a pretty decent space combat/trading game (with more emphasis on the combat than the trading) and the reviews for the other two make them sound pretty good, too. Might be worth a look.

Thanks, Darkstar One has been in my wishlist for awhile. I know that there is a newer Patrician game, but it looks like III will satisfy my need to act out my Patrician digital lifestyle

The Bridge - 2,49$ 75% off
The Bridge - 2,49$ 75% off
are you talking about the controls? as far as i know it's the god of war/ninja gaiden controls.
It's more that DMC3 is a pretty sloppy port. I think Onimusha 3 was ported by Ubisoft as well, haven't heard as much about it.
Just played for a few mins and so far it seems ok.
There are very very few video options but it runs nicely. Graphics are decent for a game so old. Wont blow your mind though.
Runs smoothly and from the few minutes I played it seems fine.

Neither game was ported by Ubisoft. They were ported by a Japanese company called Sourcenext. Resident Evil 4 as well. None of them are good.
Wait, why is Ubisoft distributing patches, then? Anyway, I think DMC3 is worth the hassle if you don't have a PS2, not sure about Onimusha 3.
It looks good and runs well on low-end machines, but it's kind of buggy. Not sure how the console versions are, but I'm halfway through and I've had to reload the last checkpoint at least 4 times. Twice because a particular boss would get stuck in a wall and become invincible, once because the secondary character fell through the floor and once because enemies I had to kill never spawned (and I only discovered what was going on after 45 minutes of walking around and finally resorting to a walkthrough). It's not the end of the world, but I'm kind of afraid the game will auto-save (there's only one save spot) after one of these glitches and I'll be screwed.

the Bit.Trip Runner games are pretty cute, and aren't so difficult that the difficulty gets in the way of the cuteness.
I found They Bleed Pixels' protagonist cute, even when she transforms into a purple creature with bloody claws
This, absolutely this. Had a great time with it !

On a whim, I bought Aces Wild: Manic Brawling Action. It's on sale for $3.49 from $9.99.
It's pretty damn fun. Surprised I'd never heard of it before.

The Pinball Arcade has 3 tables for one cent total (Steam wallet). Here's how to buy them.

10 hours until the sales end, last chance on these deals are coming forth.
Boss Doggie
all my loli wolf companions are so moe
What game was that, where you build towers for monster occupants?
Watching that makes me sad that the Dishwasher games are still stuck on XBLA and not on PC. They were as close to playing a 2D Ninja Gaiden Black as I've seen, which is what this game seems to be attempting also, though its enemies take significantly more hits.

They've announced a PC port. Just seem to not be actually making it very fast.

A late entry which hasn't been mentioned is ScaryGirl for £1.24 (or $1.74 I think), which I believe is the lowest it's ever been.

It's a decent 2.5D platformer with a cool visual style. Nothing revolutionary, but for that price it's well worth trying.

Best fun local coop games? I've been playing the soccer minigame in Rayman Legends with my brother and I miss the dumb/hilarious moments that come from games like that. Used to play fuzion frenzy, mario party, that mini game from Mr. Mosquito a lot back in the day.
Any recs?

obviously Towerfall Ascension, which is totally bonkers and tons of fun
Speedrunners is lots of chaotic local MP fun, too
Nidhogg is fantastic but might be a bit limited in what you're looking for if you want longer playtimes
