9 games you should pick up during the Steam Summer Sale

digitaltrends.com:

It’s the most wonderful time of the year. The annual Steam Summer Sale is in full effect, giving players a massive discount on more PC games than you could possibly fit in one shopping cart. As always, it’s a bit of an overwhelming experience. Unless you take full advantage of Steam’s wish list feature, it can be hard to figure out if the games you are actually interested in are on sale.

We’re here to help. We’ve combed through the list of games currently on sale and plucked out a few particularly good deals you won’t want to miss. We hope your wallet’s ready.

One of this year’s biggest discounts comes in the form of Deathloop, which is down to $24. Released last fall on PS5 and PC, the first-person shooter was one of 2021’s most celebrated games. Developed by Arkane Studios, the game tasks players with breaking a time loop by reliving the same day over and over until they can figure out a way to assassinate eight people before the sun goes down. Its a clever premise for a stealth action game that takes cues from Arkane’s own Dishonored series. The game will likely land on Xbox Game Pass later this year once Sony’s yearlong console exclusivity expires, but if you’re not a subscriber, this is a low price to pay for a great shooter.

Resident Evil Village is getting DLC later this year, which means now’s as good a time as any to hop into it if you missed it last spring. The survival horror game is down to $30, which is a significant discount for a relatively recent AAA release. Resident Evil Village is an eclectic entry in the series with plenty of highs and lows, but its a game that’s absolutely worth playing — especially at this price point.

Tales of Arise received a rare distinction here at Digital Trends last year. It
