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!

GRIP: Combat Racing ~~£24.99~~ £2.49 (90% off)

Spiritual successor to Rollcage with a great soundtrack.

Holy shit. Completely forgot about rollcage. Wild to me that anyone remembers that game enough to make a spiritual successor.

[-] B0NK3RS@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

It's a classic and the originals still hold up today.

Rollcage Redux (1)

Rollcage Extreme (2)

Wait what!? I remember joining the Kickstarter for GRIP but it didn't reach its target. I've completely forgot about the game since then.

I didn't realise it was a failed Kickstarter. I bought it in early access so I guess they decided to risk it that way and it worked out in the end.

Here it is: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/169002413/grip-an-intense-futuristic-combat-racer

I vaguely remember hearing something about them wanting to try and make it without the funding but as with many failed kickstarters I just forgot about it. Great to see that it happened, I'm gonna have a good old-fashioned nostalgia trip next weekend.
