Under $1: Highly rated adventure game now only $0.89 on Steam after 91% discount
Psychonauts, a cult classic platformer from Double Fine Productions, is currently going for just $0.89 on Steam. This 91% discount is part of a limited-time deal running through April 26. That’s not only one of its biggest discounts ever, it matches the lowest price the game has seen in the last two years, according to SteamDB.
Originally released in 2005, Psychonauts has aged better than most of its peers, thanks to its inventive level design, clever writing, and the sheer imagination packed into every scene. Players play as Razputin, a runaway psychic who sneaks into a government-run psychic summer camp. But instead of opting for standard camping activities, Raz ends up going into the twisted minds of other characters - each one rendered as a bizarre, metaphor-laced dreamscape.
The game still holds an "Overwhelmingly Positive" rating on Steam, with over 17,000 reviews. Most players leave reviews that highlight the game's unique art direction and narrative structure. While some gameplay mechanics will obviously feel dated today, the charm and creativity still continues to win over new players, nearly two decades later.
If you’ve ever wanted to try a game that combines Tim Burton-style visuals with tight platforming and a surprisingly heartfelt story, this is about as low-risk as it gets. Psychonauts playable on Windows, macOS, and Linux, and will run on almost any modern PC without issues.
This discount drops the game from its regular $9.99 pricing, and based on its price history, it’s been cycling through these steep discounts on and off over the last couple of years. But at $0.89, this is about as good as it gets.
