Many solid deals after doom scrolling the pages.

edit: actually im not even half way and I feel like every notable old game ever is on there at a huge discount, with some I am suspicious of with only the title to go off filling the space, except there is no space and its just packed. I need to sleep but I keep scrolling.

The witness 80% off working out to 10.89 irks me. significantly better games with more content are like 6 bucks. I guess when there are no achievements hinting at something being missed, you aren't compelled to find and do the most bullshit timed challenge in any game I can remember, which increases its value... ?

disclaimer: I enjoyed the first 15-30 minutes or so of the witness then suffered through the slog of completing every last thing. Even my autistic friends that unintentionally did 100% speedruns didn't like it which gave me the echo chamber I had desired the whole time playing.

What the hell are you talking about? The Witness is my favourite puzzle game, followed by Lingo. You need to touch grass.

Interesting. I never finished The Witness but I got some solid 10h of entertainment out of it before I stopped having fun. I'd say it is a brilliantly well designed game that's well worth the price if you are into puzzles.
