The Steam Summer Sale is now live! The epic event is one of the biggest sale events in PC gaming, and it runs from June 21st to July 5th! It's even got a cute minigame to play called 'Summer Saliens' which will surely earn goodies, or just Steam trading cards.
In-between the site going down, we've checked out the sale and here are the best deals on the Steam Summer Sale, including great discounts on
<a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/459220/Halo_Wars_Definitive_Edition/?snr=1_7_7_151_150_1"Halo Wars: Definitive Edition - 50% off - $9.99 /£7.99</a> - sadly not the Creative Assembly developed sequel (which isn't on Steam), the original Halo Wars RTS is by (now sadly closed, thanks Microsoft) Age of Empires developer Ensemble Studios. One of the few opportunities to play Halo on PC, still.
<a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/362960/Tyranny/?snr=1_4_4__1314"Tyranny - 66% Off - $15.29 /£11.89</a> - Obsidian's next RPG after Pillars of Eternity got sadly overlooked despite the success of Pillars 1 and 2, but it's as good as either of them and well worth checking out.
<a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/529490/Rogue_Trooper_Redux/?snr=1_7_7_151_150_1"Rogue Trooper Redux - 66% Off - $8.99/£6.79</a> - if you're excited for Rebellion's new 2000AD games in production, now's the perfect time to check out their last one, the excellent remaster of Rogue Trooper.
<a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/684410/Bridge_Constructor_Portal/"Bridge Constructor Portal - 20% Off - $7.99 /£5.75</a> - the first Portal game in several years isn't what you might expect, but it's lots of fun - and gets the humour just right.
<a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/414340/Hellblade_Senuas_Sacrifice/"Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice - 60% Off - $17.99/£14.99</a> - Ninja Theory's excellent and BAFTA-award winning action/adventure wasn't that expensive to start, but now it's down 60% which is the lowest it's been. Well worth it.
<a href="https://store.steampowered.com/sub/88801/"Dying Light: Enhanced Edition - 67% Off - $19.79/£13.19</a> - feeling excited by the reveal of Dying Light 2 at E3, which looks amazing? If you haven't already, pick up the first game (which we loved) the season pass, and the epic The Following expansion for this reduced price. The game on its own is $15.99/£9.99, so you'd be mad not to add in all the extra content.
<a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/552500/Warhammer_Vermintide_2/"Warhammer Vermintide 2 - 34% Off - $19.79 /£15.70</a> - the first big discount on Fatshark's excellent Left 4 Dead-style co-op sequel. There's so much going on round this game you really do need to pick it up, especially if you miss Left 4 Dead.
<a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/637090/BATTLETECH/"Battletech - 20% Off - $31.99 /£27.99</a> - not a massive discount for the epic Battletech, but it's one of our favourite games of the year so far and it continues to receive big patches, so it's well worth picking up!
<a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/544610/Battlestar_Galactica_Deadlock/"Battlestar Galactica Deadlock - 51% Off - $15.87 /£11.94</a> - Slitherine are having a massive sale this year, offering up to 90% off on a selection of titles, with most seeing at least a 70% discount. Warhammer 40,000: Sanctus Reach is another highlight.
<a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/269650/Dex/"DEX - 90% Off - $1.98 /£1.49</a> - Dreadlock's DEX is a personal favourite of ours, it's an open-world cyberpunk 2D RPG with an excellent soundtrack, and it's going to cost you less than a bottle of coke. Make sure you check this out.
<a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/493900/Dungeons_3/"Dungeons 3 - 65% Off - $13.95 /£10.49</a> - Kalypso Media is another top publisher with some great deals on, including the excellent Dungeons 3 and Railway Empire being the biggest highlights.
