Steam just wants your best: your money. With these offers, the gaming platform is tempting you for Christmas.
The highlights from Day 9:
If you are a fan of story and decisions in the style of Telltale games and want to kick it up a notch, you should secure Life is Strange. For only €13.39, you can enjoy the thrilling story of Max Claufield, who can rewind time and uncover some mysterious events.
All fans of JRPGs should consider buying Tales of Zestiria . The game shines in a new outfit on PC. As it is still relatively new, the discount is “only” 33%, resulting in a price of €33.49.
The highlights from Day 8:
If you’re into hardcore shooter action with a touch of absurd humor, you should consider getting Payday 2. For only €4.99, the game can join your collection.
If you’re more interested in platformers with an outstanding soundtrack and truly artistic atmosphere, then you should grab Ori and the Blind Forest . For €11.99, you can secure this title, which has received particularly good ratings from players.
The highlights from Day 7:
Today is all about RPGs, as the entire Final Fantasy franchise is 50% off. Especially Final Fantasy XIII should not be missed by fans of the series. For only €6.49, you can roam with Lightning and her companions and solve the puzzles of a god-fearing society.
If you love Borderlands and adore Telltale games, then Tales from the Borderlands will be a true revelation for you. Eccentric humor, interesting decision-making options, and an engaging story make this game an absolute must-have. Don’t miss out, as for €7.81, you get the adventure in 5 episodes.
The highlights from Day 6:
If you’re into survival and dinosaurs, today is your big day, as ARK: Survival Evolved is currently 40% off and costs only €16.49. Grab a few friends and explore the vast island, tame dinosaurs, and build your own tribe!
The second recommendation is a shooter with a large storytelling component. If you enjoy books like “The Dark Tower” or simply have fun shooting, then Bioshock: Infinite is a great choice! For €7.49, it’s a game you shouldn’t miss.
The highlights from Day 5:
I strongly recommend Evolve. Although the game has faced (in my opinion, unjustified) criticism regarding its DLC policy, I consider it one of the best titles of 2015. The standard version is available for €10.19, while the Monster Race Edition with almost all character DLCs is priced at €20.39. If you’re still unsure, you should take a look at our review.
If you prefer an exciting story and quick reactions, then you should add Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy Remastered for €4.49 to your cart. The game is the spiritual predecessor of Beyond: Two Souls and Heavy Rain, providing thrilling entertainment and numerous decision-making opportunities. The special feature: You play both a murderer and the investigating police officers – who will you guide to victory?
The highlights from Day 4:
Today, things will get a little classic, as the HD version of Age of Empires 2 is on sale and reduced by 80%. This classic RTS game can now be yours for only €3.99 – who doesn’t feel nostalgic about that?
The second title today is Grand Theft Auto V (GTA 5). While it is “only” 40% off and still costs €36, it is definitely worth a look for anyone who enjoys quirky stories and a lot of nonsense. However, you will still need a certain level of eccentric humor to enjoy the game.
The highlights from Day 3:
Today’s recommendation is the bundle of “XCOM: Enemy Unknown” and “The Bureau: XCOM Declassified”, which is available at the package price of €6.79. If you enjoy tactical, turn-based action and a bit of conspiracy theory, then you should seize the opportunity.
The second “must-have” title for today is the JRPG tactical shooter Valkyria Chronicles, which is 66% off and costs only €6.79. If you’re still not sure about the game, you should check out the “Why I play: Valkyria Chronicles” article.
The highlights from Day 2:
The definitive highlight of the titles promoted today is Pillars of Eternity, which is discounted by a whopping 60%. For only €17, the single-player title belongs to anyone looking to dip back into an action-packed RPG (after having already experienced Witcher 3).
If you enjoy horror and have a high tolerance for bloody effects, you should add Outlast to your cart. The single-player horror survival game is currently 75% off, costing only €5.
The highlights from Day 1:
Game of Thrones – A Telltale Games Series – Telltale has become a true guarantee for good stories in games over the last few years. If you haven’t got the title yet and enjoy the immersive atmosphere in the Game of Thrones universe, you should seize the opportunity. Currently reduced by 66%, it’s available for just €9.51.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – One of the biggest RPG hits of the year, should be on every hard drive. Currently discounted by a whopping 50%, it costs only approximately €30. If you’re still unsure, you might want to take another look at our review.
Spend the Christmas money before someone else does
Close your wallets, change your PayPal account password or better yet, cut off the internet connection altogether. The annual Steam Christmas sale has begun and brings numerous offers that allow players to stock up on their game collections at relatively low prices. From December 22, 2015 to January 5, 2016, the Christmas sale will take place again, offering plenty of bargains.
However, be warned that not everything that glitters is gold. Although the Steam sale advertises discounts of 80% or even 90% every year, this often relates only to the original price of the title at release. Occasionally, any DLCs are also not included in the price, which you would then have to buy separately to enjoy the full fun of a game. However, if you are a bit shrewd and pay attention to what you are actually buying, you can save a considerable amount of euros in this year’s Christmas sale.
With the offers, it’s no wonder that Gabe Newell, the owner of Steam, is somewhat glorified …
Unlike previous years, there will now only be one type of price reduction for each title. In past sales, a game could first be in the “daily deal” and then later appear significantly more reduced as part of a flash sale – this is not supposed to happen anymore. Each game has one price, regardless of which category it appears in. So you can purchase confidently without much concern.
We will update this post for you every day and briefly present the most exciting offers as soon as they are known!
