Steam's Autumn Sale Starts Today, But This Black Friday Sale Has Better Deals On Metaphor, Silent Hill 2, and More PC Games

ign.com:

I adore PC gaming. It's the platform that gets almost every game, with plenty coming out on PC years earlier than they reach consoles. And if you enjoy your games on PC, you know one of the best times to buy games is during Steam's sales. Many people (myself included) have been looking forward to the Steam Autumn Sale, which runs from now until December 4th.

Strangely, the Steam Autumn sale is currently being outdone by a Black Friday sale going on at Fanatical, even though Fanatical is selling the exact same Steam keys! If you want to buy some games (and who doesn't?) and save extra cash, check out my round-up of the best deals on digital PC game codes.

This Atlus RPG is one of my current obsessions. It's $45.49 on Fanatical or $52.49 on Steam. Metaphor: ReFantazio was also nominated for Game Of The Year at The Game Awards.

In our review of Metaphor, we said, "There’s a certain familiarity in Metaphor: ReFantazio, but Atlus takes the principles of its already excellent RPGs and refines them in a way that effortlessly ushers you through its brutal, and sometimes beautiful, new fantasy world. The Archetype system and all the new wrinkles it added to the turn-based battles build upon a strong foundation, and the social elements are streamlined to better deliver the most important aspects of the stories they tell. The sense of adventure you get from traveling across the kingdom and the powerful sense of purpose you have to do so drive its memorable journey, distinguishing itself from those that came before it."

"When I finally closed the book on Metaphor after 80 hours, I felt a unique warmth in its message, because it’s driven by the ideals of a just society smartly contextualized in a unique metanarrative. Metaphor: ReFantazio is poetic, and at times, idealistic, but it also understands its complexities and that change requires action, and that even far-fetched fantasy stories can serve as inspiration to make our world a better place."
