Edit: it looks like the banner is incorrect. On the front page of steam it’s the right dates and says summer, but when I click on it to see all the sales it says spring with the dates for the spring sale. It’ll probably get fixed soon.

You only listed Bastion, but the other Supergiant games always go on sale as well. Anyone interested, do yourself a favor and get Transistor and/or Pyre instead or as well.

I’ve been a long time Supergiant fan and it was a thing of gaming beauty to see Hades have such success as it masterfully blended all 3 of their games into the perfect package. Bastion was their first and my least favorite (probably because of it). But it is still worth playing for sure.

Transistor was the first I played and what made me fall in love with their studio. God tier soundtrack, incredible setting, and innovative real time/turn based combat gameplay.

Pyre is the black sheep but my favorite. It is undeniably unique gameplay. But, true talk, you really play it for the story, and that is very much not my gaming MO. It’s indescribable and any fan of Hades wouldn’t receive that game without Pyre coming first. If you liked even 1 character in Hades, you owe it to yourself to play this. I’m not a fantasy fan but I adore the world they crafted. And it is, somehow, probably Korb’s best soundtrack.

Patience may reward you with even lower prices. But they routinely hit this low in every big sale these days. And the risk of not playing them before you die far outweighs the extra dollar you might save.
