Drawful 2
Original Price: $9.99 Sale Price: $4.99
Drawful is a silly party game in which players use their smartphone to draw ridiculous pictures and then everyone guesses what the hell they're looking at. This game is a hysterical party game for artsy and completely "art-challenged" people. With a good group of people playing, this game is guaranteed to elicit some hearty laughs and that's totally worth $5.
Firewatch
Original Price: $19.99 Sale Price: $9.99
Firewatch is a narrative-driven game with superb writing and voice acting. With one of the most compelling examples of branching dialogue in gaming, the conversations in Firewatch feel natural and organic. While the game has its technical flaws, it's a thoughtful, beautiful, and gripping experience. It's definitely worth the $10 sale price.
Hotline Miami Collection
Original Price: $19.99 Sale Price: $11.99
Hotline Miami is a brutal, gritty, stylish, and oh-so-very satisfying top-down 2D action game. This brilliant commentary on violence in media doubles as an intense fever dream through a retro-electronic drug-laced trip in a bloody wonderland. This collection includes 2 games for less than the price of 1.
Resident Evil 4
Original Price: $19.99 Sale Price: $9.99
Resident Evil 4 mixes survival horror with action in a way that feels balanced and satisfying. Arguably the best Resident Evil game, it's aged well with a compelling upgrade system, tight controls, and many white-knuckle moments. At half price this game is a great pick.
The Witness
Original Price: $39.99 Sale Price: $15.99
The Witness is quite possibly the best puzzle game ever made. At this price, it's a steal! The Witness seems simple, and maybe even mundane, at first, but as the puzzle logic within the game becomes more complex, it also becomes more elegant. Satisfying puzzle solving, beautiful environments, meaningful sound design, and philosophical thought-candy make The Witness a great buy even at full price. At $16, it's more than worth every penny.
