Last Epoch is currently 20% off on Steam. It is a fantastic ARPG made by a small studio that fits nicely in the middle of Diablo 4 and POE. Not as complicated as POE, not as brain-dead as D4. It has a true offline mode, they came up with a clever way to solve people who want to trade vs those who don't, it has no micro transactions outside of completely optional skins (you can buy unlimited stash tabs with in game currency only), has a ton of viable builds, basically anything will work well into the end game and you can basically reroll your entire character at any time if you want. It has an amazing loot filter and is just super player friendly.
Bioprototype is free on Steam for two months.
This is a new listing for a previous game that got pulled from Steam after its publisher got banned. You can read an explanation from the devs here, which is unfortunately light on the type of scandalous details I secretly enjoy when reading about Steam drama.
I bought and played the original game (Bio-Prototype with a hyphen) and enjoyed it. It’s kind of in between Vampire Survivors and Brotato. I actually didn’t put that much time into it because building in the game actually requires some thought and planning, and at the time I was wanting something mindless to listen to audiobooks to. Nevertheless, I thought it was a solid game and took the genre in an interesting new direction.
I'm guessing your second link is supposed to point here.
100% correct! Good catch.
Free on EGS this week:
Deliver at All Costs (just came out this week so pretty big):

Sifu (great game, would recommend):
https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/sifu
Gigapocalypse:
https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/gigapocalypse-fdc53b
The episode of Secret Level based on Sifu was incredible. I don't know anything about the game itself, but the concept of it is super cool.
I've also seen a bunch of youtubers playing Deliver at All Costs, and it looks pretty fun too. AFAICT it's basically modern Crazy Taxi.
Monster Train 2 is out on Steam today! No launch discount but if you own MT1 or Balatro you can get a 10% off via Bundle:

I'm only 4 hours in, so haven't unlocked all the new mechanics yet, but so far it's great. I really like the new deployment phase, and the new spells/equipment/units/champions so far too. Units seem to have a lot more synergy with each other than they did in the first game. And instead of the best strategy just being to stack everything on one floor like in the first game you're now very clearly being encouraged to utilize multi-floor strategies thanks to those synergies, room cards giving each floor a distinct bonus, and facing much tankier enemies.
So Games Workshop just had a big "Skulls" event which featured some upcoming Warhammer games and put a bunch of existing ones on sale: https://store.steampowered.com/sale/skulls2025
There's a bunch of decent deals and also one free game, Warhammer 40,000: Gladius - Relics of War. I've never played it so I can't speak to how good it is, but people like free things so I thought I'd share.
