Steam Summer Sale: Hidden Gem/ Recommendations thread - Beehaw

Hey all. Always enjoyed reading everyone’s suggestions on more unknown games available during big steam sales. I’ll start off with one that I have been a fan of for a long time: Death Road to Canada [https://store.steampowered.com/app/252610/Death_Road_to_Canada] This game is like a zombie action Oregon Trail like game, where you manage supplies and fight through hordes of zombies on your way to the safe haven of Canada. Only US$3.74 right now and well worth it imo!

It's not super niche, or super on sale, but I'm really enjoying Chained Echos so far.
Steamで60% OFF:Chained Echoes

剣を取れ、少年よ。この空を越えた先には、未だ知らない記憶と出会えるのだから — メカスーツを纏い、伝説と魔法が宿る世界を駆け抜ける16ビットスタイルRPG。

Hot take: Chained Echoes is a much better game than Octopath Traveler 2.
Man, Octopath Traveler was such a letdown. The total lack of character interactions with other character’s stories made protagonist selection feel pointless and the story felt even more shallow than it was. Just… so meh. I couldn’t talk myself into picking up the second one.
I feel this. It felt kind of half thought out. Was so disappointed.
