Initial scrolling of the Steam Summer Sale seems pretty lackluster, but digging through the comments sections in other threads, a few gems have stood out, and it doesn't appear we have a thread dedicated to this yet, so post what you think are the best deals here!

Not mandatory ofc, but it'd be helpful if...

  • One game per top level post, so comments stemming from it are focused on on just it.

  • Hyperlink the game title to its Store Page

  • Include both the normal and sale price / %off

  • Include a short blurb about the game - if it's one you've played before, what did you like about it? If you're diving in blind, what grabbed your attention?

Good hunt'n!

Fury Unleashed 2,92€ instead of 19,50€.

Metroidvania with roguelike elements and metaprogression. Graphics are timeless (the game plays inside of a comic book, which is a nice change), very tight gameplay, tons of weapons and cool bosses.

Smooth working 2-Player-Coop!

Fury Unleashed is charming as hell, but it's the buttery smooth controls that make it so replayable.

As an old-school platform and bullet hell player, I don't play many modern platform or bullet hell games, because I've been spoiled by tight controls from the 8-bit era, and so many modern games don't match the responsiveness.

But I found Fury Unleashed incredibly accessible, mostly because the controls are so responsive.
