Here Are 5 Great Games You Can Get Dirt Cheap During The Steam Summer Sale

Shadow Of Mordor is dirt cheap during the Steam Summer Sale.

 The Steam Summer Sale starts today and runs through July 5th.

 That means you have two weeks to pay bargain basement prices on a whole slew of PC games.

 Here's a few really good deals on some quality titles that I've played and think you'll enjoy. Obviously there's tons more.

1. Shadow of Mordor is 80% off.

 It's been out for a few years now, but Shadow of Mordor is still one of my favorite action games---even if it barely resembles the source material. Right now you can get the game for just $3.99, which is such a good deal I almost want to buy it a second time. Naturally, the reason it's so cheap is because Warner Bros. wants to get as many people playing it as they can before the sequel, Shadow of War, comes out.



2. Dishonored 2 is 50% off.

 It was far from a perfect game, but for just $19.99 now is a good time to give Dishonored 2 a playthrough. In my review, I noted just how lackluster the story was this time around. Thankfully, the gameplay itself is still terrific, a heady combination of ultra-violence and open-world stealth.

3. Dark Souls III is 60% off.

 I have some issues with Dark Souls III, but it's still a great game and it nicely blends the faster combat of Bloodborne with the more deliberate action of the Souls games. Now it's just $23.99 on Steam, and it's worth every penny and more. A "Deluxe" version with the DLC packs can be had for 50% off, at just over $42.

4. XCOM 2 is 67% off.

 XCOM 2 had some flaws, but overall it was a pretty robust sequel to one of my favorite modern games. These are tactical turn-based games that pit you against an invading alien horde. There's a lot of strategy, and plenty of tears, involved. At just $19.79 it's an absolute steal, especially considering there's mods out there that vastly improve and expand the game, and are totally free. Meanwhile, the first game is 75% off at just $7.49, as is its massive expansion.
5. Mafia III is 63% off.

 Mafia III starts off so strong, it's kind of a shame how rote and by the numbers it becomes. That's why it's hard to recommend the open-world crime game at full price. Still, the game is just so great in so many ways, I would hate for anyone to miss it. Set in New Bordeaux, a fictional New Orleans, it deals with racism, boasts amazing visuals, and has a great soundtrack. If you enjoy Grand Theft Auto games, pick this one up for just $14.79. And you can nab Mafia II for just $7.50 while you're at it, a 75% discount.
Bonus

 If you enjoy the Ghost Recon franchise, many of those games are on sale. Final Fantasy is also on sale across the board, as is Call of Duty. 

 Some great RPGs are also selling for cheap, including 50% off of Tyranny and Grim Dawn, 50% off of The Witcher 3 and 60% off of both Pillars of Eternity and Darkest Dungeon.

 I'm also going to pick up Hollow Knight, which I haven't played yet, which is just 34% off but still under ten bucks.

 What are you getting this Steam Summer Sale? Any hidden gems you've found?

By clicking on the horn on this page, viewers will be taken to a separate page where a Freljordian song will start playing. The poem mentions "Orrn the Mountainsmith," who is believed to be the next champion that will be a part of the 7.17 PBE update.
