The original Deus Exits sequel Deus Ex 2: Invisible War remain some of the most influential titles in gaming, using the first person shooter genre as a canvas and painting over it an intriguing world of conspiracies and larger questions about what it means for technology to become an extension of humanity. Those core tenets continued in the more modern sequels, 2011’s Deus Ex: Human Revolution and 2013’s Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. All four games are excellent in their own right, and all are on sale for over 80% off each. You can pick up the whole series and DLC for less than $20 total.

Before Baldur’s Gate 3, there was Divinity Original Sin 2. Recipient of countless accolades, Larian’s other heralded series has a lot of the dynamic gameplay that has made Baldur’s Gate so compelling, only without the Dungeons & Dragons license. You can pick up Divinity: Original Sin 2 Definitive Edition for less than $15, or upgrade to the Divinity: Original Sin 2 Eternal Edition for 50% off, which includes the entire anthology of Divinity games.

A detective mystery where understanding your own self-loathing is just as important as solving the murder at hand. Disco Elysium eschews combat and traditional stats for something far more existential. There are a very few experiences quite like a Disco Elysium playthrough, and The Final Cut sweetens the deal by adding full voice acting.
