A criminally underplayed adventure platformer.

An amazing metroidvania that everyone seemed to forget about once they discovered that the subject-matter wasn't for fedora-tippers.

A neat SHMUP that has a very 90's pre-rendered graphics feel.

Do you wish FTL: Faster Than Light had an actual story? You'll love this game.

DBZ meets Avatar: The Last Airbender in this Cameroonian-developed ARPG. There literally isn't anything else like it. No other Sub-Saharan developer has been able to produce something of this scale.

Full-body VR SHUMP. Stand in one place if you dare, the enemies will overwhelm you!

Neat metroidvania with a twist. You jump from surface to surface while solving puzzles and vanquishing foes.

RTS for beginners that scales for veterans to the genre. Also has a mobile version

The best roguelike shooter you'll ever play in your natural life. Great gunplay, even better arsenal Has 2-player co-op.

The developers of Hatred manage an outstanding RTS. Think 21st century Age of Empires, with Company of Heroes-style unit balance.

Any recommendations for RPGs similar to the Piranha Bytes style or 3rd Person RPGs in general for ~10€ max? In the mood for many recently. So far I picked up Fable which goes in that vein. Outward I already have but I wait for the DLC to get a little discount in the future before I play it. The other option I often read was Greedfall but that is currently not in the budget

You probably already have them but you can probably get Risen 1, 2 & 3 for less than a tenner. Two Worlds is cheap also.
Elex is £13 but have a look at those games on Steam and follow the reccomendations or similar games to have a dig about.
Have a look at what Topware, Piranha, Spiders, Reality Pump etc have got on sale.

I'd add a few more.

  • Way of Samurai 3 historical lowest
  • The Witness historical lowest
  • Gunman Clive 1/2 (rarely go on sale)
  • Cave Story + (historical lowest after years)
  • Firewatch (rarely goes on sale in past few years)
