I wish I could just play video games all day as my job bc I have so many things I wish I could do like playing all 19 mainline Final Fantasy games in order. Unfortunately I would never be able to attract a big enough audience to make a living though because I would be doing things like playing all 19 mainline Final Fantasy games in order

Steam Summer Sale Game Recs

Since the summer sale is on and I’ve gone a bit ham on it myself, I thought I’d rec some fun games. There’s some great games going for ridiculously cheap right now until the 5th of July, so have at it. These are in no particular order, but [*] marks my some of my absolute favourite games.

UNDER 5

[*]Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic ($2.49 | £ 1.74 | € 2.49)  - Fantastic story with traditional Bioware choice-based decisions, and awesome, memorable characters. This is a classic game and one of the greats. You don’t even need to be a Star Wars fan to enjoy it. It’s an old game, so it’d run on probably most low grade computers.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, The Sith Lords ($2.49 | £ 1.74 | € 2.49) - Sequel to the first game, and set five years after. This one is just as good as KOTOR, if not better. Be aware that its recommended that you download a mod that restores parts of the story and fixes bugs (found here).

Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor - GOTY edition ($3.99 | £ 3.19 | € 3.99)  - Like a better version of Assassin’s Creed except in the world of LOTR. 

Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons ($1.49 | £1.09 | €1.49)  - this is criminally cheap for the heartwarming game this is. It’s not too long, as you can finish it in a few hours, but it’s good. Bear in mind you will have to have a controller to play this game as you use the analog sticks to control each brother.

[*]Dishonored ($2.49 | £1.99 | €2.49)  - A first person assassin/stealth game with an awesome story. Dishonored is one of my favourites and probably one of the best games out there. It’s highly optimised, so is pretty playable on most machines.

Fallout: New Vegas ($2.49 | £2.49 | €2.49) (Ultimate Edition: $9.99 | £7.49 | €9.99) - One of the best, if not the best fallout game. Awesome story with high replayability, and highly moddable. 

[*]Life is Strange ($4.99 | £3.99 | €4.99) - A narrative, Telltale-like game with (yet again) a great story and characters. Warning: you will cry. Heavily. More than once.

[*]The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Enhanced Edition ($2.99 | £2.24 | €2.99)  - Great game, and great introduction to the Witcher series. Much better story and controls compared to the first game, so don’t bother with that one. A medieval slavic fantasy in which you not only kill monsters but also get mixed up in political intrigue. 

Saints Row IV: Game of the Century Edition ($4.99 | £3.74 | €4.99)  - insanely fun and hilarious GTA-like game. The moment ‘Don’t Wanna Miss A Thing’ by Aerosmith started playing as I tried to disarm a rocket in the first ten minutes, I knew this game was gonna be great. I also recommend Saints Row III  (Full Package: $3.74 | £2.74 | €3.74)

Apotheon ($3.74 | £2.74 | €3.74) - Do you like Greek mythology? Then this side-scroller is great. It’s simple, with fun combat, bosses, and all in a beautiful Ancient Greek vase art style.

Domina ($4.99 | £3.49 | €4.99)  - Wanna manage and even play as Roman gladiators? This is a short, pixel style game in which you can!

Kindergarten ($3.99 | £3.19 | €3.99)  - play as a kindergartner and solve a murder mystery while trying not to get killed yourself (yes, really). This is funnier and more light-hearted than it sounds. 

Never Alone (Kisima Ingitchuna) ($2.99 | £2.39 | €2.99)  - Native American story written by Native Americans in partnership with the game studio that created it. It’s a beautiful puzzle platformer about restoring the balance of nature.

Reigns ($1.49 | £0.99 | €1.49)  - A simple card choice game in which you are damned by the devil to play the lives of every successive king and try to maintain your kingdom while unlocking more cards through your choices. I’ve had fun with it. 

Portal 2 ($1.99 | £1.49 | €1.99)  - If you haven’t already got Portal 2, do yourself a favour. This is a fun game (great with friends) and it is ridiculously cheap.

UNDER 10

[*]Borderlands 2 - GOTY ($4.99 | £ 4.99 | € 7.49)  - This and Tales are two of my favourite games. It’s a fun scifi shooter that is great playing with friends or just alone. The characters, especially the villain are awesome and the whole thing is so well written (and hilarious). Plus since its GOTY you get all the DLC which is hours upon hours. Don’t bother with the first Borderlands, it’s rather dull compared to the sequel.

[*]Tales from the Borderlands ($6.24 | £ 4.74 | € 5.74)  - A telltale game set in the Borderlands world and after Borderlands 2. As a telltale game, it’s mostly a purely narrative game in which you control the character and the choices but don’t have to go shooting at stuff (95% of the time). It keeps the humour of the Borderlands games, and features great characters.

[*]Dragon Age: Origins Ultimate Edition ($7.49 | £4.99 | €4.99)  - The first dragon age game is arguably the best. Good story, characters, and something you can sink your time into. It’s a good (and obvious) place to start the three game (so far) Dragon Age franchise. 

The Walking Dead ($6.24 | £4.74 | €5.74)  - Another Telltale game (they’re great okay?) based on the Walking Dead series. This is one of Telltales best. Be prepared to cry. Also pick up Season 2 ($6.24 | £4.74 | €5.74)

The Wolf Among Us ($6.24 | £4.74 | €5.74)  - Well you might as well get this too. Though personally, Tales from the Borderlands will always be my favourite, the Wolf Among Us has been lauded as the best of the Telltale games and is pretty damn good.

[*]Final Fantasy VII ($5.99 | £4.99 | €6.49) - The most famous of the FF games and one that was pretty much my childhood. The nostalgia is unbelievably real. There are stories that stay with you, and this is one of them. 

Baldur’s Gate II: Enhanced Edition ($6.79 | £5.09 | €6.79)  - One of the classic, defining games from which other fantasy games spawned. This is an old game, but the story is still amazing.

[*]The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion GOTY ($7.49 | £6.49 | €7.49)  - the precursor to Skyrim and just as good. There is a stupid amount to do in this game, not to mention the mod scene which is still alive and kicking.

UNDER 15

[*]Final Fantasy IX ($10.49 | £7.99 | €10.49) - Another of my favourite FF games, and in my opinion, one of the best. Definitely recommend.

Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen ($11.99 | £9.59 | €11.99)  - an open-world RPG with lots of quests, story, character options and is damn fun.

Bioshock: The Collection ($14.99 | £9.99 | €14.99)  -  Bioshock is a great franchise, and with this pack you get BioShock Remastered, BioShock 2 Remastered, BioShock 2: Minerva's Den Remastered, BioShock Infinite, BioShock Infinite - Season Pass, and Bioshock Infinite: Columbia's Finest. Holy shit.

If anyone has any other recs, feel free to add them!
