6 games to buy in Steam’s Autumn Sale
The Steam autumn sale has gone live, and is set to run through Nov. 28 at 1 p.m. EST. The Steam sale is always a good chance to catch up on games; with the sheer amount of new titles that are released every year, it’s impossible to play all of them. Luckily, the Steam autumn sale has deep discounts on some spectacular titles that demand your attention. If you have a little cash to drop before the holidays, you can do worse than indulging in one of these picks.
Hades, one of 2020’s best games, is available for $12.49, 50% off its original price. But an even better deal is the Supergiant Games bundle for $35.63, or 73% off the total price of four games and five soundtracks. You’ll get Hades, Bastion, Transistor, and Pyre— with each of their soundtracks — and a 10th anniversary soundtrack featuring music from all the games. The Bastion soundtrack, which won multiple awards, is worth the price of the entire bundle, in my opinion; the music in Supergiant’s first game absolutely slaps.

El Paso, Elsewhere was released in September by developer Strange Scaffold, but you can get it now for $15.99, 20% off its original price of $19.99. If you’re a fan of Max Payne and PlayStation 1 visuals — or just original third-person shooters — it’s worth checking El Paso, Elsewhere out. Playing as James Savage, you can slow down time to blast away a bunch of different monsters. Not only is it a solid shooter, but El Paso, Elsewhere has a great narrative, too. —NC
