As much as we’ve moved away from highlighting publisher-specific sales on Steam, sometimes, I can’t help it. Devolver Digital’s name is attached to so many interesting games that so many of us dig, and the publisher’s current Steam sale — which runs from May 5–16 — deserves a nod. Some of these games are a couple of bucks, if that.
I don’t even know where to begin with recommendations — there’s a lot to like, and plenty to love.

Let’s rope in Ape Out ($3.74) and Sludge Life ($7.49), too. They’re all such different experiences, yet they sit comfortably side-by-side. This weirdo family makes sense.
Even if you’re all Devolver’d out, it’s still worth checking out this spiffy promotional art.
If you don’t have your hands full with eclectic indies, elsewhere on Steam, the store is hosting a bunch of deals on roguelike, roguelite, soulslike, and metroidvania games.
As for me, I never
