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

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.

    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.

    Tbh, the worst part was that the advertising for 2 really seemed to suggest they'd heard that complaint about 1 and fixed it. The put so much emphasis on the Cross Paths feature. And then you get the game and discover that it is actually just 4 quests for 4 sets of 2 travelers.

    I really expected genuine interaction. Character to be present in cutscenes and have minor comments on what's occuring. You know, stuff the story can technically progress without, but really flesh out the world and the characters. Bosses acting like they've caught out a single character only to initiate a fight against my party of 4 just feels weird as hell.
