Steam Summer Sale 2025

[Zed Clampet]

The Summer Sale starts today. This post is a little early, but what games are you watching? What games have you bought? Any great deals you've found?

I'd like to get Final Fantasy 7 remake 1 and 2, but Square doesn't usually put their games on sale, so that probably won't happen.

My backlog is still growing faster than I can play, but I might pick up Noita. I think it's the only game on my wishlist right now that'll be under €10 during the sale and it might be nice for when I only have a short time to play or I want to play something while my kid is awake.

wait the summer sale starts today? honestly i've bought a whole load of games not too long ago so i'm good for now. Sure i have a massive wish/watch list but theres nothing i can think of that screams must buy in the next few days. i've got to deal with my back log before playing yakuza 5. plus my pc isn't that high spec that i can buy the later games, so even less reason to buy for now.

It doesn't officially start for a few days, but it kinda has started. LOTS of games have gone on sale through the 27th, which is when it really starts on Steam. GOG has already started.

Jeez, Everspace is just a dollar!

The sale is live now, but their servers may be overwhelmed. I keep getting errors beyond the first page. Unfortunately the item I was most hoping to get only has a 25% discount, so I shall continue to wait....

Clicking on games from the main page seems to work fine. Specific sections like Deep Discounts and my wishlist are finally working but just loading slow. In an hour or so it should be working properly.

I might pick up Noita

It's one of those easy to learn, hard to master games. It's a ton of fun though, however I do use a few mods to make it easier, such as gold automatically flowing to me and drinking water restores health. I've only played about 10 hours so I have barely scratched the surface, but I highly recommend it if you're into roguelike games.

A few games I'm eyeballing here:

• The Planet Crafter ($13.19), seems like a very fun first person survival/crafting game. Love the planetary exploration.
• Goat Simulator 3 ($8.99), I've played this on Game Pass previously, it's a really silly yet relaxing game, great to shut off your brain and play after a long day.
• Peaks of Yore ($8.54), this is a first person climbing game made by someone with a real earnest appreciation for the sport. People say it gets your palms sweaty faster than any other game.
• God of War ($19.99), I've been wanting to play this for a long time now.
• Little Inferno ($3.74), oddball pick but I played this game over a decade ago on my Wii U, and I kind of want to relive that experience. Strange game, but short and sweet.
• Rogue: Genesia ($9.59), people say this is the best Vampire Survivors clone out there, and we all know there are hundreds of them. This combines VS style reverse-bullethell mechanics with a branching roguelike overworld, seems really interesting.
• Erenshor ($16.99), little iffy on this, I like the concept of an MMO that respects its players time, but the simulated online aspects are very strange to me. Intrigued, but not sure if I'll bite.
• Big Ambitions ($17.24), like the idea of this game, but never played anything quite like it before.

Alright the Steam summer sales is up. Atm i do have my eye on one or 2 games. namely hades something i've been itching to get but decided to ride it out because of my back catalogue.

i'm also in the market for some doom wads. So stuff like hands of necromancy

i might get crosscode as it seems to be hovering at the 6-7 mark for the complete collection these days, but then again, no rush if it stays there forever i might as well wait.

i might consider ultimate general: civil war as it was one i want to get but price fluctuates.


Will wait and see. Christ, i thought this year i would reduce the amount i spend...

Right there with you. I told myself I wouldn't spend too much money on games this year... so far I think I've spent a good $200 on games. Doesn't seem like a lot, but then again I spent about that much over 2023-2024 combined.

My days of playing Poodle Trainer Simulator are OVER. I filled up on CRPGs and am getting the Final Fantasy VII remake.

@neogunhero if you and I were the same person, I'd feel very sorry for you, but I'd also highly recommend Planet Crafter and Big Ambition. All I can do, though, is tell you that they are both excellent games. Whether that means you'll like them or not is unknown.

Also, V Rising is 50 percent off. Just saying. It's up there with Satisfactory to me, all the way at the top. Everything it does, it does best in class, and the combat is very fun. It can be played SP, Co-op, or on large servers.
