With the Steam sale running, this seems like a good time to try this thread again. We don’t often use the downvote button much in Lemmy, but the idea is this: Do your best to present game suggestions that no one has heard of before. If, in reading other people’s suggestions, you spot one that you’re familiar with, then put a downvote on it. Ideally, if the game is past a year old, it may have a discounted price during the Steam sale, and others will be able to check it out.
I’ve made this thread once before and it generated some good suggestions, but the rate of indie publishing on Steam has only accelerated with time, so it seems to be worth trying again.
Monday night combat.
edit
I should have read the instructions. Though Monday night combat is still a fantastic and forgotten or unheard of game, its from a bygone era and probably unplayable in any state. Stop killing games.
As for steam games on sale that may not have hit the general water cooler talk - Kenshi.
If you never played it, it’s 60% off now and worth every penny.

Monday Night Combat, and especially its successor, SMNC, had such good potential. It was a damn shame the developers bet on a different project of theirs instead. And now over a decade later, Valve picks up the formula to make Deadlock.
Yeah, it’s crazy, having played SMNC, how much of it has shown up in recent years. They were way ahead of the curve with it.
