Paradigm is probably one she hasn't heard of that came out not too long ago. After I watched some Twitch steams of it, along with reading the glowing Destructoid review, I purchased it as well. Paradigm is on sale for $11.99 metacritic 84%steam reviews 98% positive
"Paradigm is a surreal adventure game set in the strange and post apocalyptic Eastern European country of Krusz. Play as the handsome mutant, Paradigm, who's past comes back to haunt him in the form of a genetically engineered sloth that vomits candy. Paradigms unfortunate life begins at DUPA genetics, a company who sells prodigy children to the rich and powerful who dont want to leave their inheritance to their poor excuse for biological children. Something went wrong during Paradigms growing process and he was left horribly mutated. To save their reputation, DUPA dumped the hideous infant in a nearby post Neo-Soviet abandoned town, forcing him to fend for himself."
I'm seconding the recommendations for Unexplored. It's a fantastic little roguelike that's filled with surprises, which I honestly find rare in most roguelikes these days.
Serpent in the Staglands, Dungeon Rats (an Age of Decadence combat-focused spinoff), Expeditions: Viking, Banner Saga 2, Avadon 3: The Warborn, and Cosmic Star Heroine spring to mind.
There's probably more but they're too under-the-radar for me.
Ugh, I keep jumping back and forth between this one. I want to get that bundle with Shadow Tactics in it, but this game is driving up the price. Even at the bundle discount, it'll still be about $20. It looks interesting, but I'm not sure it'll be $20 interesting. I wish there was some sort of demo for this.
I'm a big platformer fan and although the discounts on these two games aren't super high, they're still worth picking up if you're a fan of old school platformers. I see Hollow Knight/Axiom Verge/Guacamelee mentioned all the time but rarely these:
Basically anime Megaman. An old indie Japanese Megaman clone that's a bit wonky on Windows 10 (fixes supposedly incoming), but absolutely worth picking up if you're a Megaman fan. Doesn't fall into the ultra-difficulty trap that many Megaman clones do, just an all around well designed good time. Also super anime.
A mix between Simon's Quest (Castlevania 2), Metroid, and Battle Kid. A bit slow, but still recommended. Fun sequence breaks are possible, the art and music are both great, and the game doesn't overstay its welcome.

Magical Battle Festa (3,99) http://store.steampowered.com/app/292480/Magical_Battle_Festa/
Awesome Arena Fighting Game (similar to Virtual On, Gundam VS, etc,) with anime-inspired characters, online and offline split-screen multiplayer up to 4 players.
Hard to describe this game but think of a beat em up platforming game, where you pick up enemy parts adding it to yourself. The customisation is good and while the story was nonexistent, playing co-op was a blast.
And I'm unsure why boss fights turn into smash
While not an under the radar game Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is at the lowest price and has not been on sale for a while.
Do you want to be a ninja to cut shit up while an amazing soundtrack plays in the metal gear universe. While short Revengence is fun and chaotic from start to finish with a great combat system. Just final boss is one of the best final bosses I've ever faced.
Do you want to be a transformers destroying shit up while having and hearing the OG Transformers cast in their own universe. Does that sound similar to Revengence? That's becuase it was developed by the same Devs (Platinum studio). The games play the same but this game has multiple playable characters and is a love letter to the original transformers.
Want to learn how to type better? How about typing the right words to kill Zombies in the House of the Dead game. Its really just House of the Dead, but with typing. If you're not that interested in typing, then at least House of the Dead: Overkill is included.
Ok, Last game because I need to end this or else I'll go on forever
A Western FPS where you see a cowboy recount his tales of adventure. The game is solid and the story will fuck with you for example
There's a choice to be made where your character goes down a mine shaft, only to have a stray bullet blow up all the TNT, destroying the mine. When asked how he got out of there the narrator says that he remembered it wrong and took the other path. The game then rewinds everything to the beginning of the level where your character takes the other path
. The duels are intense and it has a great atmosphere. If you've ever loved those western movies, this is for you.
A co-op game to play with the missus for 1.49€? Don't mind if I do! (as a bonus, she has long blonde hair and I have black hair, like the game's characters!).
Current haul (I'm keeping it deliberately small due to backlog and finances):
Shadow of Mordor 4€
Pharaoh Rebirth+ 4€
Wyv and Keep 1.50€
I love them both. And have them on iOS, Android, PC...
They are great puzzle games and Lara Croft GO recently received The Mirror of Spirits expansion for free. These 2 are very cheap and must buy imo.
Is there a recommended list of which sprites, music, and etc you should enable?
I'm conflicted: I want a really good, well written horror VN experience. I know that allegedly Fata Morgana has that, but Higurashi is much cheaper and has voice acting.

Keep in mind that Fata Morgana is 1 complete purchase, while Higurashi has many episodes that probably end up more expensive than Fata Morgana in the end.
That said, Fata Morgana isn't really horror in the same sense as Higurashi. Higurashi is definitely more horror.

Higurashi is split up into a number of chapters. The first four chapters are "question arcs," which are designed to introduce mysteries that the player can try to explain. They are followed by answer arcs. Right now, there's only one answer arc on Steam. Each chapter works as a standalone story, but if you'll be bothered by a lack of resolution, you should probably avoid Higurashi for now.
Fata Morgana is excellent, but if you really want a horror story, it might not scratch that itch. It has creepy and disturbing elements, but it's not really in the horror genre.
Look, even with a sale yall should be using Enhanced steam and Isthereranydeal.com before you buy Anything.
I got Dead Cells for $11 and I added like 20 games from this thread to the wishlist to watch.
Glad the sale is another week.
But, I was hoping that we'd get the full monthly humble reveal before the end of the sale though. Kind of sucks because I don't want to buy too much, and get a couple in the monthly.
Probably gonna risk it since I have a lot of money saved up thanks to card selling.
Can any one recommend some good puzzle games ? I just finished the 3 HexCells games, bought SquareCells en thinking about buying The Witness or Lyne. But are there any other good games I should look at ? Something relaxing (no time limit)

Thanks for this, I'm always looking for more Metroidvania!
My under the radar:
Epistory, it's a typing RPG. Think of an earthy fairy like fantasy RPG but all your attacks are typing ala Typing of the Dead. The story is surprisingly good and there's quite a bit of voiced narration not unlike Bastion (not as good but that's a high bar to clear).
Pick the "indie" tag, in the middle of the address of the page should appear "tags=492", add a minus like this: "tags=-492" and you will get all the games without the indie tag(not every game you get is AAA though), i guess this works with every tag.

Yup. Used to be that you had to buy characters and sets online, or buy the toys and use codes to get them in game, but ever since they shut down Disney Infinity, they made all content available for no extra charge on the Steam versions. So this should be everything 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 had to offer for only $15.
I only wish there was a modding community to keep adding to this platform.
