Every year, like a force of nature, the Steam sales return to remind us that our wallets are merely suggestions and our backlog is a joke. You tell yourself, I don’t need more games. You promise, I’ll actually play what I already own. And yet, here we are—staring at the ever-growing list of discounts, hovering over the Add to Cart button like a moth drawn to a financial bonfire.

So, to help you embrace the inevitable, I’ve scoured the digital shelves to pick out the absolute best deals you shouldn’t miss. Whether you’re after a massive RPG to sink weeks into, a brutally difficult indie game to make you question your choices, or just something to justify your impulse spending, this list has you covered. Note: we’ll be periodically updating this list from time to time.

Forza Horizon 5 (RM99.50/-50%)

If you love the idea of tearing across Mexico in a multi-million-dollar supercar while a radio DJ shouts about how sick your drifts are, then congratulations—this is your dream game. With a massive open world, a ridiculous variety of cars, and more events than you’ll ever have time to complete, this is peak arcade racing at half the price.

ELDEN RING (RM119.40/-40%)

It’s been two years, and people still haven’t shut up about this game—and for good reason. If you fancy wandering into a beautifully cruel world where everything wants to kill you (and probably will), then this is the deal for you. It’s punishing, rewarding, and, at 40% off, a steal for one of the best open-world experiences ever made.

DOOM (2016) (RM7.90/-90%)

For the price of a fancy coffee, you can rip and tear your way through hordes of demons with some of the most satisfying FPS combat ever made. Fast, brutal, and powered by a soundtrack that sounds like Satan himself picked up a guitar—this is adrenaline in game form. And at 90% off, it’s practically a crime not to buy it.

Planet Zoo (RM45.15/-65%)

Want to build your own zoo? Great. Want to create an animal utopia or a legally dubious death trap? Also great. Planet Zoo gives you an absurd level of detail in running your own wildlife park, and at 65% off, it’s the cheapest way to own an entire ecosystem without angering animal rights groups.

Assassin’s Creed Mirage (RM67.60/-60%)

Ubisoft remembered what made the older Assassin’s Creed games great, and the result is Mirage—a smaller, more focused adventure that ditches RPG bloat for classic stealth and parkour. If you’ve been waiting for the series to feel like Assassin’s Creed again, now’s your chance to jump back in at a killer discount.

GUILTY GEAR -STRIVE- (RM79.50/-50%)

One of the best fighting games of the modern era, with stunning anime visuals, a banging soundtrack, and combat that’s as deep as it is satisfying. Whether you’re a veteran or just here to mash buttons and enjoy the flashy combos, 50% off is a knockout deal.

CHRONO TRIGGER (RM12.00/-75%)

This is, without exaggeration, one of the greatest JRPGs ever made. Time travel, a legendary soundtrack, and an unforgettable story—all wrapped up in some of the best turn-based combat the genre has ever seen. And at RM12, it costs less than a fast-food meal. You know what to do.

Cyberpunk 2077 (RM87.60/-60%)

Yes, it launched as a mess. Yes, everyone was angry. But thanks to years of updates, expansions, and an actual police system, Cyberpunk 2077 has finally become the game CD Projekt Red always promised. If you skipped it at launch, now’s the perfect time to dive into Night City at 60% off.

Balatro (RM38.25/-15%)

It may look like a poker game, but Balatro is secretly one of the most addictive roguelikes in years. The entire world seems to have fallen into its clutches, and whether you’re a hardcore strategist or just someone who enjoys pressing buttons and seeing numbers go up, this game will consume your free time.

Pacific Drive (RM43.20/-40%)

It’s you, your station wagon, and a bizarre post-apocalyptic Pacific Northwest filled with anomalies trying to kill you. Equal parts survival horror and road trip simulator, Pacific Drive was one of the best indie debuts of 2024. And now, at 40% off, it’s the perfect time to buckle up and see what all the fuss is about.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard (RM99.50/-50%)

Now bumped down to a fair price, Dragon Age: The Veilguard is the latest entry in Bioware’s RPG series. More action, more characters to use in your party, and a whole lotta simple puzzles and expositions to sit through, you could do worse than 2024’s most standard RPG experience.

Metaphor: ReFantazio (RM186.75/-25%)

On the other end of the spectrum is one of 2024’s best games and JRPG experiences. Full of political intrigue, a memorable cast of characters, an ace combat system, and a ton of powers to use via the Archetype system, you can’t go wrong with paying 25% off of this new Atlus joint.
