Our Indie and Triple A Steam Autumn Sale recommendations

The Steam Autumn Sale has officially kicked off, running up to the 28th of November. If you have some Steam credit to use up, or want to pick up a few new games, then now is a great time to do exactly that. We've rounded up some of our favourite games currently discounted. 

On the indie side, some incredibly cheap games are available that will supply you with many hours of entertainment. Vampire Survivors is one of my favourite indie games in recent years – it was already cheap but you can now get 25% off, bringing the price down to £2.99. If you're looking for a similar game with a bit of a different flavour, then Halls of Torment and Soulstone Survivors are well worth a look.

Heretic's Fork is a recent game that combines tower defence and deckbuilding elements to create a very addictive gameplay loop, and it can be picked up for £6.79. Naturally, all four of these games also work very well on a Steam Deck if you've picked one up.

Honey I Joined a Cult is one of my favourite indie management/building sims. You take on the role of a cult leader, building out your compound, recruiting new members and assigning them to tasks to help grow your influence. You'll need to manage things carefully though, as your cult can garner too much heat, leading to protests and eventual intervention. It sounds like a dark premise, but like Prison Architect, the game uses a cartoon style and has plenty of humour thrown in for a light-hearted approach.

If you've finished up with Baldur's Gate 3 and are looking to try some other CRPGs, then Obsidian's Tyranny offers a unique approach putting players in the shoes of a villain looking to conquer and take over the entire continent. If you are someone who doesn't always gel with the classic RPG formula, then this one may very well change your mind.

Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous is a bit more hardcore, so it is really only recommended to established fans of the genre with some experience in other titles. If that sounds like you, then the game is now 70% off.

If you've finished up Cyberpunk 2077 and are craving more Cyberpunk goodness, then The Ascent is a good pick-up at £7.49. This is a story-focused twin-stick shooter set in a dark Cyberpunk world with RPG elements. It handles its setting incredibly well and tells an overall darker story.

Moving on to AAA titles, there are plenty of shooters currently on sale. Battlefield 2042 had a bad start but has had a resurgence in recent months thanks to many updates. At £7.99, it is a low risk, high reward pick-up. Rainbow Six Siege can be found for £6.79 for a smaller-scale competitive shooter. If you never had the opportunity to play Titanfall 2‘s excellent campaign, then you can't go wrong here for £3.74.

Monster Hunter fans can now grab the latest game in the series, Monster Hunter Rise, for just £13.19, or if you'd prefer to return to Monster Hunter World, then the Iceborne expansion is now 50% off.

The Last of Us finally came to PC earlier this year and while the game launched with a number of problems on PC, leading to a mixed overall rating on Steam, it has improved quite a bit through patches. If you've been holding off on picking it up, then it is now 33% off, bringing the price down to £33.49.

In a similar vein, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor also launched with PC performance issues but Respawn has improved things considerably, with a major update in recent months delivering further optimisation improvements. Now, the game can be picked up for £35.99. If your PC is up to the task of running the game, it is well worth picking up as it tells one of my favourite Star Wars stories since the KOTOR days.

Dying Light 2 regularly hits 50% off during Steam sales and that deal is back once again.

If you are after a new souls-like style game, then two of my favourites are now discounted. The relatively recent Remnant II is now 30% off and offers a great co-op experience but with more of a focus on ranged combat over melee. For a melee-focused experience, Nioh 2: Complete Edition gets a solid recommendation from me, although it may still be a tad expensive at £29.99 considering that the game is almost three years old. Still, both of these titles offer a good spin on the Souls-like formula and I would actually recommend both to people who typically don't play Souls titles.
