We play a lot of games at B3, and it’s unreasonable to think everyone can find the time (and money) to experience them all! With the Steam Summer Sale in full swing, here’s all the deepest discounts and delightful deals on games we have raved about on B3 this very year! Browse our shortlist and pick yourself up some of the year’s best indies for as little as a bucket of chicken.
Raccoin – The coin-pushing machine roguelite
Raccoin is one of the newer entries in the “Every type of game that exists in the world must be made into a roguelite” trend, and is everything you’d want from a bombastic, high-feedback satisfaction engine.
In our review we said “The synergy that is available is off the charts in Raccoin and you are only really limited by your choices in the shop and by how many runs you’ve completed” and with a new cabinet update as recently as June 25th, there’s plenty more content being added even today!
Push some coins from your Steam wallet towards developer Doraccoon and get Raccoin for just £9.59:
Sunderfolk – An epic couch co-op RPG for half price
Sunderfolk is a merging of Eon Altar and Gloomhaven, a brilliantly tactical but easily accessible RPG designed for couch co-op. With a long campaign, permanent consequences and enough class variety for gameplay fans Sunderfolk is worth looking into this year. Sunderfolk recently hit 2.0, and “the biggest and most transformative change in 2.0 which comes in the addition of full online multiplayer”. It’s never been easier to get a campaign going!
Gather your party and venture forth as the Steam sale has it at 50% off:
Warhammer 40,000 Battlesector – The Perfect Time to Drop Pod Back In
I played Battlesector on release and, being an avid tabletop player, really liked the approach to campaign play that it had. The lack of factions meant the online and skirmish experiences were DOA, but the singleplayer was great.
Cut to 2026 and the opposite is almost more true. With new factions (including the series’ poster children Ultramarines) ranging from all 4 courts of Xenos, Chaos, Imperium and Astartes, Battlesector is truly an expansive and engaging tactics game.
The base game is a whopping 50% off, leaving it just £17.55 for what, on release, was a 24 hour playtime campaign. There’s only been more content and game modes added since then, so for the price the base game + updates is a good deal.
Act like a Blood Raven and acquire a new game for the chapter:
Wax Heads – Under a tenner for an absurdist shop
While not the biggest discount on the list, Wax Heads for less than £10 is a sure-fire way to convince someone to dip their toes into this weird and wonderful narrative game. As a fan of the genre I could argue its case, but what about someone more…picky?
“It’s been ages since the last time I’ve played any form of narrative sim. Not that I dislike the genre, but I am admittedly extremely fussy about them. They need to really strike a chord with me right away, and I’m happy to report that Wax Heads does exactly that.”
If our resident narrative cynic can get on with Wax Heads, that’s enough to convince us the 20% off is worth nabbing:
ShantyTown – The Best Creative Placement Puzzler of 2026
In a world of Dorfromantik and Islanders, ShantyTown released incredibly quietly. But, the game’s dedication to an intriguing narrative, varied building scenarios and free-form placement that allowed creativity in equal measure to tactical thinking all adds up to make ShantyTown a top-pick in the genre.
When I had my hands on the game I said “The best thing about ShantyTown is that this level of freedom isn’t just for a creative sandbox. From the very start buildings have requests for light, utility and comfort. Placing items and other buildings nearby fulfils these requirements. This gives a sense of direction amongst the frankly absurd sense of freedom and creativity the game instills.”
With just 342 reviews (at 97% positive) the game deserves the spotlight, and at 35% off it’s not an expensive ask, either:
Earth Must Die – A Quintessentially British Comedy Point-and-Click
As advertised by Alex Horne (of the Horne section (also of Taskmaster)), Earth Must Die is a bizarrely British comedy clicker with a main character who is, amusingly, useless.
“I don’t think I recalled if VValak ever actually touched anything himself, unless you count sitting in a chair. It adds a slight layer of abstraction to the usual formula, and more importantly, it reinforces the central joke: That you are playing as someone both immensely powerful and deeply impractical. The ultimate nepo child really.” — Our original review.
If you loved Thank Goodness You’re Here and want more exposure to British “culture”, then 40% off is a hefty incentive:
Forgive Me Father 2 – More FPS, more shooting, more lovecraft
Forgive Me Father is a lovecraftian boomer-shooter with boss battles and psychological eldritch horror vibes, all portrayed in wonderful paper-drawn style art. The sequel is more, bigger, better. A traditional sequel for a traditional genre.
“In the first game, sanity was a thematic flourish — something that added flavour but didn’t dramatically alter gameplay. In Forgive Me Father 2, madness is central. As you descend into insanity, your abilities mutate, your perception of the world shifts, and your combat options evolve.”
It’s not an undersaturated genre, by any means, but a hefty 60% off is enough to validate diving into yet another fast-paced FPS for the next few nights, putting any more serious games you’re playing through on hold for some good clean (gory) fun:
Cronos: The New Dawn – Yes, that Cronos
Cronos is the best Bloober Team game. It’s flown under the radar and been off-set by their rollercoaster reputation, but I can safely say that a title so big getting a 65% discount when bundled with Dead Space (Making the total for both games less than 60% Cronos’ original price alone) is a no-brainer.
It’s not without any flaws, but “Cronos: The New Dawn is an excellent survival horror experience, defined by its oppressive atmosphere and haunting world-building. While the slow, heavy protagonist may feel like a well-worn trope and the core time mechanic a bit of a mechanical bolt-on, Cronos’ tone, setting, and storytelling more than compensate”
If summer game drought hits you right in the horror genre, then you could do a lot worse than giving Cronos the time of day it deserved:
Tainted Grail: Fall of Avalon – The Elder Scrolls Successor We Wanted
Tainted Grail is essentially a more streamlined and less “Creation Engine” Elder Scrolls game, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Everything it iterates upon is an improvement, and the devs are adding content right up to the present day. Replayability and challenge modes, build variety, bosses and unique dungeons all make Tainted Grail a gameplay delight, while the gruff-voiced Arthurian spirit you journey with makes the world an engaging, soulful place.
We loved getting lost inside the open world where “Forests are dense, ruins are haunting, and the fog-shrouded valleys create a constant sense of unease. Tainted Grail is a game that looks good because it’s been crafted well, not because it delivers jaw-dropping technical and mechanical features.”
A well-made, fun-to-play RPG of this scope is hard to come by, and so the 40% off that Steam has on the summer sale couldn’t be missed from this list:
Hollow Knight: Silksong – Oh my God I’m Skonging
25% off.
It’s Silksong, did you want any more information?
