Steam has an EA Publisher Sale going on with several historical lows. Some noteworthy sales:
The absolute best thing you can get, however, is the Peggle Pack which has both Peggle Deluxe and Peggle Nights. It's 85% off, and I'm not joking when I say that I have genuinely dozens of hours between the two games.
At a recent friend meetup we hot-seated the entirety of the Peggle Nights campaign on a Steam Deck over the course of a lazy Saturday. It was awesome. The two titles are digital comfort food and the absolute best casual games ever made.
WARNING: Many of EA's games require the use of an EA account and EA's launcher (even when bought and launched via Steam), so keep that in mind.
COUNTERWARNING: The Peggle games don't, which makes them even more worth it.
I love Mass Effect, I've played through the whole trilogy... a lot. While I still recommend the legendary edition, be forewarned that they botched the lighting for ME1 particularly. I highly recommend checking out mods to fix it, it appears someone did the work of restoring it with this mod below. Though I haven't tested it since it wasn't out when I last played.

Hades is on sale for 66% off.
It’s not technically a historical low, but the previous low was achievable only on Epic Game Store with those big sale coupons they used to give, so for all practical purposes we can go ahead and say it’s a new historical low. It’s also a new platform low for Steam — it’s never gone below 50% off before this.
Fanatical has Shadows of Doubt for $11:
