Top 20 Video Games Cheaper Than A Dozen Eggs Right Now

About this gallery:

For this gallery, we focused on video games that are actually cheaper than buying a dozen eggs in the United States (at the time of writing, that’s around $6). So if you happen to have a few bucks and you're faced with the impossible choice between eating breakfast or snagging a new game – while skipping breakfast is a terrible life decision – you might as well make sure you're picking from the absolute best.

Milk outside a bag of milk outside a bag of milk (2021)

With a title that sounds like a riddle told by an anxious poet, Milk outside a bag of milk outside a bag of milk is not your average game – and that’s exactly the point. This surreal, narrative-driven visual novel explores themes of trauma, dissociation, and mental health in a way that’s both haunting and hypnotic. Think of it as a psychological deep dive wrapped in minimalist aesthetics and unnerving dialogue. It's not going to test your reflexes, but it might make your brain itch (in the best way possible). Perfect for players who like their storytelling a little weird and a lot introspective. Also, it’s less than six bucks – therapy for the price of toast. | © Nikita Kryukov

Buckshot Roulette (2024)

If Russian Roulette had a neon makeover and was hosted in a cursed dive bar run by demons, it would look a lot like Buckshot Roulette. This indie horror card game blends gritty tension with strategy and chance, giving you one bullet, one chance, and a table full of eldritch adversaries. It’s short, punchy, and absurdly fun – like playing poker with the Grim Reaper on a caffeine high. Whether you're a fan of roguelikes or just enjoy watching your odds explode in your face, this game's got your number. Best of all, it won’t cost you more than breakfast. Unless your breakfast includes avocado toast. | © Mike Klubnika

Your Only Move Is HUSTLE (2023)

Imagine a fighting game where time stops, every move is calculated, and you're basically choreographing your way to glory – Your Only Move Is HUSTLE takes that idea and runs with it at full speed. This physics-based, turn-based, ultra-customizable 2D battler has one of the most unexpectedly deep combat systems you’ll find for under $6. It’s like Smash Bros. had a baby with chess and then gave it a keyboard. The name might sound like a motivational poster, but the gameplay is anything but generic. Whether you're into frame-perfect combos or wild, meme-fueled replays, this one's a steal. | © Ivy Sly

Juice Galaxy (2020)

Juice Galaxy is what happens when you let chaos and creativity have a baby, feed it gummy bears, and then set it loose in a sandbox. This open-world freakfest lets you bend gravity, slap monsters with bendy arms, and fly through the sky like a noodle-powered superhero. The story? Loose. The physics? Looser. But that’s the charm – this game is unapologetically weird, and proud of it. Whether you're here to power up your juice levels or just cause mayhem, it’s the most fun you can have in a physics playground without breaking actual laws of nature. | © Fishlicka

The Room (2012)

Classy, mysterious, and just the right amount of spooky, The Room is like a Victorian-era escape room that lives in your phone or PC. It’s all tactile puzzles, secret compartments, and gorgeous visuals that practically beg you to reach through the screen. If you like feeling like a 19th-century detective trapped in a magical puzzle box, this one’s got your name on it. It’s not flashy, but it’s deeply satisfying, and every twist feels like you're peeling back layers of an ancient mystery. And yep, it's less than a carton of eggs. Who knew affordable mystery-solving was a thing? | © Fireproof Games

20 Minutes Till Dawn (2023)

If Hades and Vampire Survivors had a child who never slept and loved math, it’d probably look like 20 Minutes Till Dawn. This rogue-lite bullet-hell survival game is all about lasting 20 chaotic minutes against waves of horrors while stacking increasingly ridiculous power-ups. You get guns, eldritch monsters, creepy vibes, and a soundtrack that feels like it’s whispering, “You got this... maybe.” The monochrome art style gives it that cool late-night-anime feel, and the build variety? Chef’s kiss. Whether you survive or explode gloriously in minute six, it’s absolutely worth skipping one latte for. | © flanne

RollerCoaster Tycoon: Deluxe (1999)

Look, if you've never intentionally launched your theme park guests into a lake via coaster design gone rogue, are you even playing RollerCoaster Tycoon? This classic sandbox sim lets you live out your dream of running a theme park – or your darker dream of bankrupting one in spectacular fashion. The Deluxe version adds even more vintage charm, scenarios, and those soothing MIDI tunes that live rent-free in our brains. It’s pixel nostalgia at its finest, and somehow still as addicting now as it was in the late ‘90s. Best part? It costs less than a funnel cake. | © Chris Sawyer Productions

WEBFISHING (2024)

WEBFISHING is the game you never knew you needed: a surreal, internet-core nightmare where you “fish” through corrupted websites, uncover digital mysteries, and occasionally ask yourself if your Wi-Fi has gained sentience. It’s a weird, artsy, lo-fi experience that blends horror with nostalgic Windows 95 vibes. Expect glitchy soundscapes, unsettling pop-ups, and a sense of creeping dread that somehow still feels kind of cozy? If fishing for meaning in a digital void sounds like your vibe, this is your bait. Bonus: it’s cheaper than a side of hash browns and infinitely weirder. | © Scary Squares

Dishonored (2012)

Want to be a sneaky supernatural assassin in a steampunk world filled with plague, corruption, and moral quandaries? Of course you do. Dishonored gives you all that and then hands you a crossbow, teleportation powers, and a mask that screams "I'm the problem." It’s a masterclass in immersive sim design – offering players total freedom to ghost through missions or go full chaos gremlin. The story is gripping, the setting is rich, and the gameplay holds up beautifully over a decade later. Honestly, the fact this AAA experience now costs less than some eggs is a crime. | © Arkane Studios

Quake II (1997)

Before battle royales and wall-running, there was Quake II, and it was loud, fast, and unapologetically metal. This iconic sci-fi FPS still rips, with its chunky weapons, power armor aesthetic, and that aggressive industrial soundtrack that made every frag feel personal. Whether you're revisiting for nostalgia or discovering the original twitch shooter energy for the first time, it still holds up shockingly well. And with recent remasters, it's smoother and prettier than ever – like a vintage hot rod with a new coat of paint. All that adrenaline for less than a breakfast burrito? Yes, please. | © id Software

Sally Face - Episode One (2016)

Sally Face kicks off with a boy in a prosthetic mask, a haunted apartment complex, and just enough paranormal creepiness to keep you up at night. Episode One sets the tone perfectly – equal parts tragic, bizarre, and deeply atmospheric. It’s like watching a ghost story unfold in a Tim Burton sketchbook, only way sadder and somehow more endearing. The hand-drawn visuals are charmingly unsettling, and the mystery? Yeah, it’s going to hook you fast. For less than six bucks, it’s like buying a short indie film, but you’re the one solving the murder. | © Portable Moose

Hotline Miami (2012)

What if neon, blood, and existential dread had a synthwave fever dream together? That’s Hotline Miami in a nutshell. This ultra-violent top-down shooter is fast, brutal, and weirdly philosophical – asking things like, "Do you like hurting other people?" while you’re dual-wielding shotguns and dodging baseball bats. It’s stylish, it’s trippy, and the soundtrack will lodge itself in your soul forever. One minute you’re clearing rooms with razor-sharp reflexes, the next you’re questioning reality. You know, casual stuff. And for the price of a gas station snack? An absolute steal. | © Dennaton Games

Arctic Eggs (2024)

Don’t let the name fool you – Arctic Eggs isn’t about poultry. It’s a cold, eerie, sci-fi horror story that slowly unravels across a frozen, abandoned facility where nothing feels quite right. The controls are simple, but the vibes are immaculate: dread, isolation, and that creeping “something's watching me” feeling. With low-poly visuals and unsettling sound design, it nails that retro-futuristic horror look without needing a single jump scare. This one’s for players who love story-rich indies with slow-burn tension and philosophical undertones. Bonus points for having "eggs" in the title – on-brand and under budget. | © Jaklub

FTL: Faster Than Light (2012)

Space captains on a budget, this one’s for you. FTL: Faster Than Light is the perfect blend of starship management, permadeath panic, and moral decision-making – all happening in real-time while your ship's on fire. You’ll name your crew, plan your route through hostile space, and pray your shields hold long enough to get that sweet, sweet scrap. Every playthrough is different, every loss feels personal, and every victory is ridiculously satisfying. It's like trying to survive a Star Trek episode while the writers actively hate you. And it still costs less than a fancy omelet. | © Subset Games

Vampire Survivors (2022)

Minimalist? Yes. Addictive? Absolutely. Vampire Survivors throws you into a pixel-art bullet-hell arena where you don’t shoot – the game does it for you. You just walk… and survive… and then explode into a god of pixelated chaos. It’s one of those “one more run” games that turns minutes into hours, with wild power-ups and absurd enemy hordes. Don’t be fooled by its simple look – this thing is a dopamine factory. You’ll keep saying, “Just five more minutes,” until it’s sunrise and you’ve missed breakfast and lunch. For a few bucks? Criminally underpriced. | © poncle

Terraria (2011)

Don’t let the pixelated look fool you – Terraria is basically 2D Minecraft on espresso, with way more swords, bosses, and chaotic explosions. You can dig, build, craft, fight, and summon abominations from other realms – all in one session if you're feeling bold. It starts chill, but blink once and you're 50 hours in with a jungle fortress and a flying piggy bank. It’s a weird, wonderful little world that somehow keeps growing over a decade later. And all of this for less than a breakfast combo? Dig in. | © Re-Logic

Fallout: New Vegas (2010)

Fallout: New Vegas is what happens when post-apocalyptic survival meets biting political satire and a metric ton of gambling. Set in the nuked-out Mojave Desert, it gives you freedom, factions, and a whole lot of dialogue options to regret later. Want to join a violent Roman cosplay cult? Go for it. Want to become the ruler of Vegas by manipulating robots and bureaucrats? Also totally valid. It’s janky, sure, but the soul of this game is pure gold. Honestly, no game this deep and replayable should be cheaper than a carton of eggs – but here we are. | © Obsidian Entertainment

All Supergiant Games (Except Hades 2)

Whether it’s the narrator-heavy Bastion, the cyberpunk poetry of Transistor, or the underdog magic basketball of Pyre – Supergiant Games doesn’t miss. Every title is visually stunning, emotionally resonant, and backed by a soundtrack that deserves its own vinyl. These are the kind of games that stay with you long after you’ve put the controller down, quietly making you feel things you weren’t prepared for. Hades 2 may be the new hotness, but the OG lineup? Chef’s kiss. And the fact you can scoop them all up for the price of groceries? Criminal. | © Supergiant Games

Half-Life 2 (2004)

Half-Life 2 walked so modern shooters could sprint into the void yelling, “Physics engines!” It still holds up – smooth pacing, iconic set pieces, and one very expressive crowbar. The gravity gun is a revelation, Ravenholm remains a horror masterclass, and the whole thing feels like a dystopian rollercoaster that never lets up. You don’t play this game. You live it. It’s like a rite of passage for gamers, and somehow it's regularly discounted to “found under couch cushion” levels of cheap. | © Valve

Portal 2 (2011)

If pure joy had a physics degree, it would be named Portal 2. Part puzzle-platformer, part comedy masterclass, this game throws you into the darkly hilarious world of Aperture Science for one of the smartest experiences in gaming. It builds on the first game in every way – more levels, more story, more GLaDOS. And Wheatley? A chaotic masterpiece of AI energy. Whether you're soloing the story or tag-teaming in co-op, it’s endlessly satisfying and surprisingly heartfelt. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll probably Google a walkthrough, and love every second. | © Valve
