Day Z
Here you will question the intentions of every player! Rare: Now on sale for $25! ©Bohemia Interactive

A purchase I have never regretted: this absolutely unforgiving survival game set in a post-apocalyptic world full of zombies and other players. Collect resources, fight for survival, and most importantly: trust no one. Because it won't be long before you realize that the zombies are sometimes the lesser evil!

This is definitely an important one, because DayZ doesn't go on sale very often. However, you can get it for $25 during the Summer Sale.

Hollow Knight – $7.49 Instead Of $14.99

A safe bet for Metroidvania fans: for $7.49, you can expect a dark atmosphere. ©Team Cherry

Hollow Knight is cheaper than it has been in years. If you're a fan of the genre, $7.49 is an absolute bargain.

Fallout Series – All Titles On Sale

Cropped Fallout New Vegas Lonesome Road
My personal recommendation: Fallout New Vegas is currently available for $5. ©Bethesda

A post-nuclear role-playing game series that hardly needs any description. The social commentary, steeped in dark humor, combines a sense of loneliness that stays with you in your mind and heart with a great deal of freedom. Whether isometric or first-person, the wasteland is full of stories, dangers, and mutations that are worth exploring.

The entire series is on sale! If you haven't done so yet, now is your chance to dive into the universe. But be sure to bring a Geiger counter with you!

The inclusion of Oblivion: Remastered is also particularly noteworthy! But don't feel pressured: here are great RPGs in every price range.
