Magyar4 of the best open-world games in the Steam Summer Sale that are an absolute steal
1. Outer Wilds - 40% off
Outer Wilds is an open-world game that hinges entirely on exploration and time-based shenanigans to deliver a unique gameplay experience. Players find themselves trapped in a time loop as they must decipher the history and mysteries of the solar system. The hand-crafted solar system is ever-changing, and revisiting a previously-explored locale might reveal more about the alien civilisation that populated the solar system before its current inhabitants.
Outer Wilds manages to make exploration and discovery feel authentic, while the stylised graphics give the game a charming feel. The challenging puzzle mechanics and intricately-crafted lore of the solar system both serve to keep the player engaged throughout the punchy, unorthodox adventure.
Grab Outer Wilds for just US$14.99 during the Steam Summer Sale until July 13.
2. Hunt: Showdown - 60% off
PvPvE games have generated something of a cult following in recent years, and for good reason — they add an interesting twist to the otherwise repetitive PvP or PvE game archetypes. Hunt: Showdown is one such first-person shooter PvPvE horror game that pits groups of players against monstrous enemies as well as their fellow players.
The goal of Hunt is to work together within your team to collect bounties by killing specific monsters and then defending yourselves against the other hunters on the map that want the bounty you have. Hunt: Showdown takes place in 1895 in the Louisiana Bayou, granting the game an ominous setting and giving the varied ghouls and monsters you're up against plenty of places to hide in.
Hunt: Showdown is on sale for US$15.99 during the Steam Summer Sale until July 13.
3. Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered - 33% off
In Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered, players step into the shoes of Peter Parker, at the height of his career as Spider-Man, to face off against some of the titular character's most iconic villains, including the Sinister Six. At the same time, Peter Parker's personal life becomes enveloped in chaos, all of which results in an interesting story about an endearing character we all know and love.
Playing as the titular hero, gamers have access to the entire Spider-Man arsenal, including unprecedented mobility via web slinging and combat abilities that turn fights into visceral, visual spectacles. That's not all there is to it, though, as the game features a healthy amount of gadgets, skills and suit upgrades that allow players to develop their own play style, whether they want to rely on stealth, brute force, or tactics.
Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered is on sale for US$40.19 during the Steam Summer Sale.
4. Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition
Horizon Zero Dawn follows the main character, Aloy, as she embarks on an adventure across a post-apocalyptic landscape to untangle her history and protect the fate of an Earth ruled by all manner of mechanical monsters. Horizon Zero Dawn is known for its beautiful, meandering open world and rich storyline that doesn't drag on or overstay its welcome.
While there are more than enough side quests for players to explore, the game doesn't turn adventure into a boring ordeal, like many other open-world games tend to. The combination of exploration, fast-paced, varied combat encounters, and well-thought-out character progression make for a fun, engaging gameplay experience that fans of open-world games are sure to love.
Horizon Zero Dawn is on sale for US$16.49 during the Steam Summer Sale until July 13.
