There are many new faces waiting to meet you in the current Steam offers.
It’s Wednesday and you know what that means: Time for new game offers on Steam!
This time we have picked out 14 exciting titles for you that are not triple-A blockbusters from big studios, but with one very positive rating from the Steam community shine. Hopefully this will help you find one or two new gems off the beaten path.
And the best is yet to come: All of the games featured today are currently like this on Steam cheaper than ever before. If you’re not in the mood to save yet, we don’t know what to do next.
Highlight of the week: GRIS
1:22
Gris – Trailer shows a beautiful fairytale world without dangers
GRIS is very important and the indie masterpiece truly deserves it. The picturesque adventure is so pretty, so emotionally stirring and at the same time wonderfully deceleratingthat we unreservedly recommend it to anyone who doesn’t necessarily need the big spectacle in every game to feel well entertained.
What’s the matter? We don’t really want to give too much away, but okay, we’ll just throw a few bits of information out of our sleeves. You play a girl, the eponymous Gris, and have to find what she has lost in an initially empty, gray world. Sounds cryptic, of course, but you should really go into this experience as uninformed as possible.
Gris – View screenshots
In terms of play, you don’t expect any complexity monster here, on the contrary: The platformer gameplay remains rather shallowyou jump through the levels, solve puzzles and have to get to the end of a section in order to give the world another color and thereby make it more beautiful little by little.
GRIS mixes the watercolor look, the dreamy soundtrack, the emotional plot and the good gameplay into a wonderful whole. For three dollars you can’t go wrong here.
Our tip: Invest two dollars more and treat yourself to the bundle of game and soundtrack.

And what about GOG and Epic?
If none of the games above appeal to you because you prefer to buy from GOG or the Epic Store instead of Steam, we won’t let you down anyway. We have linked some of the current sales promotions in the box below, where you will definitely come across some great games.
There’s currently a big shooter sale going on at GOG. If you’re more interested in cuddling than shooting, there’s also a sale on romance games.
You can currently save a lot on Destiny 2 in the Epic Store. Among other things, the Legacy Collection is greatly reduced. The annual pass is also particularly cheap at the moment.
