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!
Strong agree on your summaries of both Abzu (which I loved but did not finish) and Kena (which I loved but did. Both are great “hidden gem” games. I’ll have to look at the rest of your list since you clearly have good taste.
Hah, I appreciate that, but my taste often also leads to “this is trash and I love it and I don’t know why” sometimes. Or rather, “Why do other people hate this so much? It’s awesome!”
That said, glad you might check out some of the things I listed. Hopefully at least one grabs your attention. I particularly enjoyed Quantum Conundrum because it’s just good vibes (though it does get challenging later on, but never too stressful, as far as I remember), but with a similar snark to it as Portal.
Not the very darkly humorous stuff (although there’s a bit of that), but John DeLancie’s voicework is always engaging and has a fair amount of that sighing, “no, no, you’re doing it wrong” kind of attitude. Also, I just love his voice in general.
