You've got 1 week to get one of my all-time favorite Metroidvanias for $4

gamesradar.com:

Even after six years, SteamWorld Dig 2 remains one of the best Metroidvania games you can play today, and you can grab it for just $4 for the next week. 

I first spotted this deal in the little Steam sale that publisher Thunderful is putting on, but happily, this discount is also available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, and Xbox (for the next six to eight days depending on your platform of choice). It's actually only $3 with PlayStation Plus, and a still-cheap $5 on Switch. 

SteamWorld Dig 2 isn't the only game on sale, by the way. With some variance between platforms, the delightful SteamWorld Heist XCOM-like, SteamWorld Quest card game, and original SteamWorld Dig are also available for cheap. But SteamWorld Dig 2 remains my favorite game of the series, and every Metroidvania fan ought to play it. 

SteamWorld Dig 2 is a vibrant steampunk side-scroller about a robot looking for another robot in the bowels of the earth, and it's still as gorgeous as it was in 2017 thanks to its likable, chunky art style. In a nutshell, you dig your way through the ground in search of resources and discoveries then bring them back to base for upgrades for your next excursion, and the ingenious part is how your tunnels down double as your platforms up. 

Between scripted platforming bits tied to upgrades that will tickle the Metroidvania receptor in your brain, you basically become a level designer as you carve your way through the dirt, snagging as much treasure as you can while keeping your tunnels safe and navigable. The way you dig changes as you unlock new tools and even weapons, and the resulting sense of agency over your pathing, juxtaposed with the cascading 'Aha!' moments inherent in Metroidvanias, is electrifyingly fun.
