Won't do my full table for all of these, but it includes:
Importantly:
Green Man Gaming has a shooter sale right now (log in for deeper discounts):

Check Is There Any Deal to double check historical lows or not:
My personal highlight:
Hitman World of Assassination is $22.40, notable historical low
Superhot VR is a VR killer app if you need one, IMO.
Good shoutout! I really loved Superhot VR, dare I say the experience in VR is actually more interesting than in flat mode.
Not exactly the lowest price it's been but it's super close:

And it's a workout!
That said, story mode was, in my opinion, nerfed by the Devs. I personally felt that the parts removed by the dev are a huge part of what made the experience the first time through. That said, it doesn't super impact the fun of the moment to moment gameplay but it took it down from a "must play" VR game up a "should play." And it's still a game that can leave you soaking in sweat after a session.
Fanatical's Relentless Bundle:
https://www.fanatical.com/en/pick-and-mix/build-your-own-relentless-bundle
Notable games:
Black Book
Human Fall Flat
Graveyard Keeper
Void Scrappers
Might pick up Jetstream, Wizard Chess, and something else for a fiver, if anyone has any suggestions I'd love to hear them!
Infinifactory free on Epic Games this week:
https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/infinifactory-ec9686
Oh, nice. I love Zachtronics' games, but hadn't got around to trying Infinifactory yet. Thanks for the heads up. I always forget to check Epic every week for their freebie. :/
the Epic one I have a personal reminder for! most of the time I post it because free is always the best deal (shout out to @Carrow for doing it for a couple of days while I was on vacation :) )
Steam's Pirates vs Ninja's sale:
https://store.steampowered.com/category/pirates_ninjas
I... have no recommendations from this list. The only game I've played on the front page is Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, but that's not even on sale lol. I played and enjoyed Ghostrunner, but it was given away on Epic games, and even then the price isn't at it's historical low (note: the ITAD page listing is incorrect)
It's buried in the list, but my family has enjoyed Paper Pirates. It's a social deduction game where you have to figure out which crew members are haunted (like Among Us or Werewolf), but each player uses their own phone/tablet/computer to play (like the Jackbox games). It works really well as a party game when you have a mix of adults and children.
For those who were into Alan Wake 2:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/474960/Quantum_Break/
Quantum Break is another Remedy game, same developer as AW and Control. If I remember correctly, it wasn't as well received but it's more Remedy if you're into that.
Humble has a Soulslike bundle on right now, $15 for the full bundle, $7 for the bottom 3 items:
https://www.humblebundle.com/games/with-soulslike-these-you-need-enemies
I don't really know any of the games besides Remnant, which I've heard very good things about! I don't love that a couple of the items are coupons though.
Capcom Bundle from Fanatical:
https://www.fanatical.com/en/pick-and-mix/capcom-collection-build-your-own-bundle
Personally I would recommend RE5 if you want a nice fun co-op experience. Dragon's Dogma to prep for the upcoming sequel, and Megaman for classic gaming!
