If you’re lucky enough to own a Steam Deck or Legion Go S SteamOS edition, you’ll know that the Steam Store is full of bargains. Sure, you can buy a bunch of full-price games if you want, but there’s nothing quite like looting a Steam sale for £5 gems.
There are plenty of cheap games that you can buy for your Steam handheld, some of which are reasonably priced, while others often enjoy deep discounts.

Brotato
There are plenty of cheap-as-chips roguelikes that have lit up the Steam charts in recent years, and I can recommend many of them. But because Brotato it has a better name, I recommend that one.
A top-down platform shooter that puts you in control of, as you might have guessed, a gun-wielding potato who must survive wave after wave of alien hordes. Sold?
After each army is successfully defeated, you are given the opportunity to upgrade your super spud with unique features and weapons, allowing you to tinker with different builds as you progress. There are also different characters to unlock, each boasting different stats.
Love Vampire Survivors (expensive and extremely fun), weapon attacks and melee Brotato they are automatic, meaning all you have to focus on in the game is moving your character.
Some people like having full control taken away from them, but when you’re constantly outnumbered by enemies like you are in this game, you have to focus on one thing and that’s profit.
There is a manual targeting option in the settings for those who want it, but I think it’s simple Brotatogreat power. That and cartoon art, which I prefer to see Vampire Survivorslo-fi look.

Killing of Sonic the Hedgehog
It’s not just that attention has a lovely title Killing of Sonic the Hedgehog it costs less than a cup of coffee, and it costs less than anything that really costs any money at all.
What initially appeared to be an April Fools’ Day joke from Sega turned out to be a proper murder mystery novel where the player is tasked with finding out who seems to be upsetting the company’s constant mascot. And it’s free to download.
Killing of Sonic the Hedgehog takes place, like many other whodunnits, on a train, specifically the Mirage Express, on Amy Rose’s birthday. Sonic and the gang are all there to celebrate. Some suspicious things happen, Sonic is found unresponsive, and you have to find out what went down by investigating your passengers.
Killing of Sonic the Hedgehog it’s a combination of visual novel and point and click adventure, and it’s really good at that, whether you’re a Sonic fan or not.
It has funny writing, a great art style, and an entertaining, if not complex mystery at its core. Not bad for a prank game.

Celeste
CelesteThe average price on Steam is admittedly about the same as the price of three coffees (unless you get your daily cup of joe from an overpriced hipster joint), but this excellent side-scrolling speaker has been discounted so often (including now) that I thought I’d include it here.
If you missed all the hype when Maddy Makes Games’ masterpiece first launched in 2018, you play a girl named Madeline who is determined to climb to the top of the mountain and won’t stop until she does it.
To achieve this, the player must overcome all kinds of difficult but incredibly well-designed 2D challenges, many of which can feel completely impossible until you suddenly succeed.
Madeline can wall jump and run through the air, but the basic controls are very simple. Victory Celeste it’s about doing things at the right time, and since the game is often difficult, it’s unfair, and you always feel that way. looking for to be successful.
The core gameplay is pretty good, though CelesteThe amazing pixel art visuals and amazing sound are a big part of what makes it an indie classic. It’s also one of the more mature explorations of mental health and anxiety I’ve seen in a game, leaving you feeling emotionally stimulated and rather excited about your on-field prowess.
