March 2022 has begun! The countless big releases in February are behind us, we are looking ahead to… a third month with fewer releases. But hey, if the current blockbusters are still too expensive for you anyway, it’s always worth taking a trip to the world of weekly Steam Sales.
This time, as part of Steam’s Midweek Madness 17 exciting offers spotted for you – some of them representative for a whole series of games, for example Batman. Speaking of which: Are you in the mood for the new film? Write it in the comments, the first reviews look pretty great.
But back to Steam! As always, there’s our highlight of the week first, then the other favorites below, and below that, for all table fans out there, the price comparison table if you prefer to buy from GOG or somewhere else. Ready, steady, go.
Highlight of the week: Steamworld Quest: Hand of Gilgamech

SteamWorld Quest: Hand of Gilgamech – RPG trailer
Genre: Deck Builder RPG | developer: Image & Form Games | Release: 31. May 2019 | price: 7.50 dollars (reduced by 70 percent) | Offer valid until: March 4, 2022
The Steamworld series is a little giant. Klein
because she still hasn’t made it into the big spotlight (although she deserves it), giant
, because there are now five Steamworld games – and all of them are exceptionally good. In the current Steam Sale you will also find all games with a big discount, i.e. Steamworld Dig, Steamworld Heist and so on. At the komplette Bundle you can really save! But today we want to focus on the role-playing game Steamworld Quest, because you are known to love role-playing games.
What is this about? Steamworld Quest: Hand of Gilgamesh is a sidescrolling role-playing game in which you assemble a squad of robotic heroes to stop an evil menace. Sounds very classic at first, but it’s a very charming, around 15-hour journey with a pretty cool trick: your special maneuvers in the round battles run over maps.
So you build a deck of possible maneuvers, pull a few of them in every fight and always have to make the right decisions somewhere between tactics and improvisation. Steamworld Quest is a lot of fun – and for 7.50 dollars it’s definitely worth a look.
