Midweek Madness gets a little crazier, because this week you’re a little pressed for time – but the reason isn’t so bad
It’s Wednesday, which not only means half the working week is already over, but it’s also bargain time on Steam. This week, even the clock is ticking, as all deals expire tomorrow. That’s when the Steam Summer Sale starts – but why miss out on good deals until then? Exactly! Here we go:
Highlight of the week: Desperados 3
(Genre:Real-time tactics – Release:June 2020 –Price:10 Euro(75 percent discount)
The tactical stealth game from the now closed developer Mimimi Games takes you to the Wild West. You navigate a team of five different characters with individual skills through 16 handmade maps and have a lot of freedom when it comes to tactics
In addition to sneaking, there is of course also live fire, but in both cases you can always include your surroundings in your plans, for example by occupying an abandoned Gatling gun and not sneaking. A tactical approach is mandatory, but thanks to four customizable difficulty levels, everyone can find the right balance between challenge and a sense of achievement.
