RENT, the highly successful play and movie, sums up the four seasons in its seminal theme song Seasons of Love because yay for summer right? Although the lyrics still ring true to a broken nostalgic Sicilian widow’s heart, the song might have to get a makeover.
Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
Five hundred twenty-five thousand moments so dear.
Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure measure a year?
In daylights in sunsets in midnights in cups of coffee
In inches in miles in laughter in strife.
Because global warming and heat domes and CNN debates and oh-god-we’re-all-gonna-die!
At least we’ll have enough games to carry us through the end of existence because the Steam Summer Sale has arrived proving once again that the best way to celebrate warm weather is by hermetically sealing yourself indoors with a stack of discounted games.
Thank the gay cherubs for GeForce NOW. And! For this non-comprehensive list of discounted Steam games I compiled – all games listed below are available on GeForce NOW.
ANTONYM FOR COMPREHENSIVE LIST
Cyberpunk 2077 (50% DISCOUNT) is the perfect summer game – you can experience all the sweat grime and questionable fashion choices of a crowded beach without leaving your chair or risking skin death. Plus at half price you’ll have plenty of money left over for the therapy you’ll need after trying to untangle its plot.
Darkest Dungeon (85% DISCOUNT) is a lovely little steal because nothing says “summer fun” quite like managing a team of increasingly neurotic adventurers as they spiral into madness. It’s like herding cats if the cats were armed and suffered from crippling PTSD.
Elder Scrolls Online (70% DISCOUNT) proves that pointy ears never go out of style and that dragons can be sexy – take that Mother of Dragons!
The Talos Principle 2 (50% DISCOUNT) is perfect for those who like their Independence Day weekends filled with existential breakdowns because ChatGPT’s brother is on a drunken bender.
Dying Light (70% DISCOUNT), Dying Light 2 (60% DISCOUNT), and DayZ (50% DISCOUNT) are also on sale. I mean nothing says “summer vacation” quite like parkour-ing over the undead or desperately searching for beans in a post-apocalyptic wasteland.
LIFE IS A BOX OF STRANGENESS
As for my fellow Life Is Strange/DontNod enthusiasts you can get the entire series through a heavily discounted bundle offer The Life is Strange: True Colors Ultimate Edition.
It includes the following base games and their respective DLCs:
- Life is Strange: True Colors
- Life is Strange Remastered
- Life is Strange: Before the Storm Remastered
Also Tell Me Why is free until the end of June (Pride Month) and the entire Life is Strange 2 is available for half price.
SIDE NOTE: Check this out (not literally!) Life is Strange Double Exposure
SEASONS OF CHANGE (LEFT IN YOUR STEAM WALLET)
With roughly 600 GeForce NOW games on sale, your biggest sacrifice will have to be your bank account – slice and dice and let it scream in terror!
To my kind editors here at Cloud Dosage please donate a couple of kidneys for me? I only have one (true story) and I sold it already because Steam Summer Sa-
