Initial scrolling of the Steam Summer Sale seems pretty lackluster, but digging through the comments sections in other threads, a few gems have stood out, and it doesn't appear we have a thread dedicated to this yet, so post what you think are the best deals here!

Not mandatory ofc, but it'd be helpful if...

One game per top level post, so comments stemming from it are focused on on just it.
Hyperlink the game title to its Store Page
Include both the normal and sale price / %off
Include a short blurb about the game - if it's one you've played before, what did you like about it? If you're diving in blind, what grabbed your attention?

Good hunt'n!

Being able to build vertically makes it a very different experience. Using a hyper tube chain to yeet yourself all the way across the map is chef's kiss.

The blueprints are helpful for mid to late game when you need to set up dozens of the same thing. It's not a perfect system, but can definitely be a time saver.

The combat is totally different. There's no raid/defense mechanism. The mobs have a fixed spawn point. They'll stop respawning once you start building around that point. Once you learn the appropriate attack/dodge maneuver for each type, they're barely even a nuisance to kill.
