Dinosaurs and robots: New Steam sale has started, here are our 7 recommendations

The new Steam Sale brings together two very curious themes and gives you some really great offers

Dinosaurs and robots have a lot in common: both have … okay, actually dinosaurs and robots don’t go together at all, but at least in the world of video games they create some very, very cool scenarios in which you can find dozens of hours of gaming fun. Valve must have thought so too, because there’s currently a big Steam sale going on in their honor!

This sale takes place from February 26 to March 4, 2024 at 7 pm you’ll find tons of games heavily discounted that have something to do with dinosaurs, robots or both.

You can of course browse the official Steam Robo Dino Sale overview page yourself, but we can help you out with a few editorial recommendations if you’re looking for a little guidance in the confusion.

Because equality between dinosaurs and robots is of course important to us, we strive for a balanced ratio in the recommendations, but we have to break a lance: The highlight of the sale belongs to the machines!

Highlight of the sale: Terminator: Resistance

Nobody expected that the makers of the disastrous Rambo: The Video Game, of all things, would make a good game out of a famous 80s and 90s franchise

But Terminator: Resistance is living proof! The shooter is one of the best licensed games ever and captures the charm of the Terminator template in a wonderfully captivating way:

In Terminator: Resistance, you don’t travel back in time, but you do experience the prequel to the first film in the dark future. As a soldier in John Connor’s resistance movement, you sneak through ruined buildings, shoot at Arnie Terminators and somehow try to save humanity from extinction

Terminator: Resistance is reminiscent of sandbox shooters like Deus Ex with its playful freedom, there is an incredible amount to discover, including cool side quests with their own little stories.

Of course, the game’s low production level is noticeable here and there, but anyone who loves Terminator will find Resistance an absolute recommendation, which is currently on Steam at a lower price than ever before By the way: The addon is also very worthwhile
