Vampire survivor.
And more recently, Halls of torment. I’m so excited for upcoming updates cause I couldn’t help completing it 100%.
Pony Island. Don’t look into the game at all. Go in blind. Awesome little gem of a game.
Second this.
Also once you’re done, play Dan Mullens other games: The Hex and Inscryption.
Yep. I beat Hex. I stopped playing Inscryption by the 2nd “phase” (I don’t know what it’s called, but you know what I mean). I’m having a difficult time picking it back up.
The 2nd and 3rd acts of the game were a bit weaker than the first one(to the point where they released a version that is just an endless act 1) but the ending of the game was incredible
I never could get far in it. I have absolutely terrible hand-eye coordination for the exact type of action the game presents. I’ve never gotten past the second round of pony levels. I’ve lost at least 30 times in stage 4 (the second stage with floating demon heads). I just can’t do both things at once.
Which is a shame. The puzzle part of the game is great. I wish there were a way to skip the action parts. I forgot all about it til your comment here. I might just have to give in and watch a let’s play of it.
Trying to take your advice and not look into the game. Can you tell us what genre this is?
I haven’t played it in years. I guess would say puzzle platformer? It reminds me most of Undertale and it’s a little hard to nail down a specific category. It’s much more than it appears. I would say there’s very little replayability.

I got it for a little over a dollar in the summer sale. It’s suprising just how fun the game is. Money well spent.
And, when you’ve finished the base game, try Multiverse. It’s a mod for FTL, really well made, and so big on content that base FTL is essentially the intro!
Both Portal games, $0.99 (due to the Puzzle Fest). I know I’m late asf but Portal was booming all those years ago but I didn’t have any money. I finally got to play both games a few months ago. Portal 1 was cool I guess. Portal 2, however, is probably the best game I’ve played. The graphics and design, the story, the overall puzzle, the music, I immediately fell in love when I played it.
Portal 1 is still great. It’s way funnier, and I think has a creepier vibe, specifically because of how little information you’re given.
2 is, yeah - a more fully realized game. Also, if you didn’t already know: co-op mode gives a whole new set of puzzles that can only be solved with 2 people working together. Finding that and playing it with my friend was my fav part of either game.
I actually didn’t know that and I’m going to try it now, thanks!
I own these but can no longer play them on my Mac :-(
Titanfall 2 for like 4$ cuz it’s rare to find it not on sale these days
Hands down the single best fps I’ve ever played. And an amazing campaign too.
Unfortunately the multiplayer has massively inflated skill curves now and is getting ddosed 95% of the time.
But still my favourite game of all time
I don’t know if a $35 game would count for this, but RimWorld has absorbed vast amounts of my life, and it is a very good game.
It has consumed thousands of hours of my life.
I’ve done the math a few times and it currently has cost me about 8 cents per hour played including all dlc
According to Steam, I’m at 2.29¢ per hour. Even if it’s only half of that – quite a few of those 3,700 hours were spent paused, playing a bit here and there throughout the day – that’s a phenomenal value.
This is almost my boyfriend’s hours and reasoning (he hit 4k and I side eyed a bit), but he said a lot was load time - he plays with over 400 mods, I usually barely push 150, and that sometimes it was just easier to leave it on than shut down and restart it, and that he’d leave his laptop running in the background while he was at work 😆. Thankfully load isn’t as bad as it was a few years ago, but with that many mods it can still take a bit for him to get in
I’m pretty sure a fair chunk of mine were from when I was making mods back around 1.0 and just testing
To the Moon.
It’s a cute little RPG-maker adventure game and by the end of it I was ugly crying
I got “To the Moon” for free (steam gift). Not saying I cried, but I cried.
Vampire survivors was great, its not .99 but it is still pretty cheap and has been free on epic a few times. But enter the gungeon is one of the best games I have ever played.
exit the gungeon on the other hand is an empty shell of itself. Pun intended.
I bought Minecraft way way back when it was pretty new and nobody was talking about it for about $1.50. Like a month or so later, they dropped the survival update that put it on the map.
Got MC for something like $10 in their early alpha/beta period. Probably my most played game over the last 10+ years with how many times I’ve gone back to it and dived into one modpack or another. It’s just astounding the amount of momentum that game has had, with both Mojang developed content and fan developed.
Minecraft is grand! But I got kinda stumped when Microsoft bought Mojang back around update 1.8. 0, and instantly tried to screw up all the modders.
Some of the mods have come back, and many new created, but it just doesn’t feel the same to me. :(
I don’t think I got into modding until after that, after it got much easier to use. There are definitely some fantastic mods and packs being released these days though. It’s definitely still a vibrant scene.
Not on steam, but Voices of the Void. It’ll probably be sold at some point, but for right now it’s free on itch.io. It’s still in pre-release, but it has more content even now than a lot of fully released games have.
“World of Goo” was this for me, just a fun little surprise.
Tabletop Simulator is around €3 on third party seller sites
And has a massive library of downloadable games in the Steam Workshop!
Seriously, buy the software and you can probably download every board game you’ve ever heard of to play.
How does that work? Can I just download any of those items in your l link and use them in tts?
Its steam workshop, so if you are not familiar, all you need to do is own TTS on steam, download it, then go to the steam workshop page for TTS and then yeah its basically like you said from there. Any single thing you can find on the steam workshop can be downloaded for free and loaded into TTS. I have played hundreds (not even exaggerating) of games on TTS and I have never had an issue finding a tabletop game I was interested in on there.

Within this genre I’d add Halls of Torment for $5.
It recently blew up in early access and I’ve really enjoyed it.deleted by creator
Soma
I got soma for free on epic at one point. I started my playthrough mostly as a joke, since I did a similar thing with amnesia - I’m not good with horror but a friend wanted me to play. It caught me super off guard when I realized that it’s actually really good. It’s become one of my favorite games just for the story alone.
I wouldn’t call this a super cheap game, but it is still one of the best games I’ve ever played.
