13 fantastic hit games are currently heavily discounted in the Steam sale

The Midweek Madness is back with numerous offers. We have more than just a handful of exciting highlights for you

Savvy GlobalESportNews readers know: When we recommend games from a sale, we usually always make sure to give you a balanced mix of big triple-A titles and little indie gems.

But today we’re not going to do that. Not because we don’t like small indie gems. It’s simply because there are so many big-name games on sale on Steam at the moment that we simply can’t avoid peppering you with a whole load of hits today. There, take that!

Highlight of the week: Inscryption

(Genre: Deckbuilder – Release: October 2021 – Price:10 Euro, 50 percent discount)

Halt, stop, we’re writing something about No indies, only hits and … launch with an indie game as the highlight? But there is a good reason for this break in content. It’s called Inscryption, has an extremely impressive 96 percent positive user reviews on Steam and has also impressed us.

So please forgive us for this little indie digression. Inscryption mixes nerve-wracking horror with a thrilling card game. The result is an unforgettable psychological trip that offers a surprising amount of playful depth.

You start your adventure in a small wooden hut, where you unceremoniously begin a card game of life and death. If you win, you advance further on the board, but your opponents also become stronger. You use your deck of cards to get to grips with the attackers

Of course, there is also a plot, because you have to escape from this predicament somehow. But we won’t tell you any more, because Inscryption is rightly described by many players as a unique experience.

Now the game hits, we promise!

From now on, only big games from big publishers with big wallets and big production budgets, I promise. The good thing about it: the titles are, without exception, devilishly good.

So if you still haven’t played one or more of the hits, you should strike now. Because many of the offers end tomorrow, Thursday!

• It Takes Two: A co-op hit in which you save Cody and May’s troubled marriage. But beware: the author of these lines can testify that the gameplay can also be a real test for the partnership. What’s so hard about jumping at the right time? Argh! (10 Euro, reduced by 75 percent, offer ends on March 28)

• Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered: The action adventure from Insomniac lets us slip into the skin of the friendly neighborhood spider in brute quality. If you have fun, you can also play the much shorter spin-off Miles Morales. (36 euros, reduced by 40 percent, offer ends on March 28)

• Dead Space: If you like sci-fi horror with a classy look, there’s no getting around Dead Space.
