Hey all. Always enjoyed reading everyone’s suggestions on more unknown games available during big steam sales.
I’ll start off with one that I have been a fan of for a long time: Death Road to Canada
This game is like a zombie action Oregon Trail like game, where you manage supplies and fight through hordes of zombies on your way to the safe haven of Canada. Only US$3.74 right now and well worth it imo!
Inscryption is REALLY GOOD. If you enjoyed MTG / strategy / board games. DO NOT READ ABOUT IT. Spoilers will ruin it. tl;dr it’s a horror-based card game.
Bayonetta I am also really really enjoying. I actually feel betrayed that no one recommended this to me before. It’s perfect so far. Super fun fast paced skill based combat with a badass chick. It’s just 11/10 over the top all the time.
though i’m not sure if i’d consider it a hidden gem, i 100% will second inscyption as a total masterpiece. i also don’t know if i’d exactly say horror based, it’s a bit creepy or unsettling but not scary imo, and i’m a total crybaby when it comes to horror ;) i played it because a youtuber i like did a top games of 2021 video, and it was the ONLY game he didn’t give any information on other than “just play it” haha. totally worth it to avoid knowing anything at all about!
