The sun is blazing, the air conditioner is running, and you’re inside talking into a fan for the fun reverb effect. It’s summertime, baby, and that can only mean one thing: the Steam summer sale is upon us. This one of the best times of the year to load up on a ton of cheap games, and we have plenty of summer sale games to recommend. But what if your tastes are a little bit more niche and less expensive than the latest AAA hits? Well we have that covered too.
These are our recommendations for the best games you can grab for under ten bucks. That price means these are mostly smaller games, not the hits from big publishers. But they’re all gems that come with our recommendation, and you can load up on several of them for the cost of one new AAA game. It’s a volume business!
So take a gander at the great games below and drop your own recommendations in the comments. Also be sure to check out our picks for the best indie games to play.
