For some people, the best thing about summer isn't the sunny weather or beach vacations--it's the PC game sales. Hardly a week has gone by this season without a new summer sale popping up on one of the many online purveyors of digital PC games. The latest such sale is now live at Fanatical, an online seller of Steam games. Better yet, if you enter the promo code SUMMER10 at checkout, you get an extra 10% off the sale price. Let's take a look at some of the best deals on PC games you can find during the sale, which is going on between now and August 19.
Some huge titles are on sale right now, including brand-new games like Monster Hunter World, which just landed on PC. From our updated review: "While the PlayStation 4 version had its hiccups with getting the squad together, those aren’t present at all in the PC version, which makes the most of its integration with Steam to get you playing together in under a couple of minutes." It's on sale for $48.
A discounted game that just came out of Early Access is Dead Cells, a procedurally-generated Metroidvania game that plays great. It's down to $20 right now. According to our Dead Cells review, "Dead Cells is a phenomenal effort to blend together some very disparate genres into a tight, cohesive whole. It's one of the better examples of how to remix ideas without losing their individual strengths."
Slightly older games are getting significantly bigger discounts. For instance, the RPG Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire is $35, down from $60. The extremely creepy Resident Evil 7 is only $18. And if you want to spend even less cash, you can pick up Ducktales: Remastered, Resident Evil 4, or Tropico 5 for just $5 each.
