Steam is presenting us with a little dilemma, because they don’t tell us whether all the games that are currently offering huge discounts will also be reduced in the upcoming Steam Summer Sale. And if so, will the percentages deducted go up or down?
But as the saying goes: “A sparrow in the hand is better than a pigeon on the roof.” In addition, if necessary, you can also refund if a title is actually even more reduced tomorrow than today (which, strictly speaking, goes against Steam’s new sales -Rules would be violated).
So today, one last time before the summer sale, we present you with the most exciting games that can be dusted off for little money.
You can find out exactly when the summer sale starts and which games are already considered guaranteed discount candidates in our practical overview:
Steam Summer Sale 2022:

Unser Highlight – Ruined King

Ruined King – Test video for the single player role-playing game
Ruined King: A League of Legends Story RPG shares a universe with the fast-paced MOBA, but plays like a classic, solid single-player adventure. The linear story convinces above all with its unusual characters and is, so to speak, the successor to Battle Chasers: Nightwar in LoL guise. Also comes from the same developer studio.
Here’s the offer
With your squad of six well-known League of Legends heroes, including the pirate queen Miss Fortune and fox mage Ahri, you explore the privateer city of Bilgewater and want to prevent a dark force from bringing back Viego, the eponymous Ruined King.
In turn-based battles a la Final Fantasy, it is important to tactically consider the strengths and weaknesses of your opponents. You equip your crew with loot and invest in improving their special skills. The adventure between sea monsters and ghost pirates will easily keep you happy for 40 hours and also did very well in our test:

Long and good – 17 game campaigns that are really worth their money!
- Thomas Was Alone: A puzzle platformer at its core, a big story at its heart. Basically, you just maneuver a few rectangles through obstacles using your individual skills, but you also learn something about friendship in an informal way. (2 dollars, reduced by 80 percent)
- Tangle Tower: In this likeable little indie title, you search a mysterious mansion for clues and interrogate the quirky and excellently written characters in order to solve an exciting murder mystery. (English language, Europe texts, demo available – 4 dollars, reduced by 75 percent)
- Monster Hunter Rise: In view of the release of the Sunbreak expansion on June 30, 2022, which finally delivers the endgame, the main game of the action-packed role-playing game series, in which you hunt huge beasts in rows, is also reduced by half. (31 dollars, reduced by 49 percent)
- Tails of Iron: In the role-playing game with a drawn look, you embody the heroic rodent Redgi, who, as heir to the throne, recaptures his rat kingdom. With a surprisingly diverse combat system and a narrator that is unmistakably reminiscent of Geralt of Rivia, the game quickly melted into the hearts of those who tried it. (English language, Europe texts – 12 dollars, reduced by 50 percent)

- Space Haven: In this exodus simulation, you manage colony ships full of diverse civilians drifting through space in search of a new home.

(11 dollars, reduced by 50 percent )
- Prehistoric Kingdom: The construction game, which was only released in April, wants to appeal to dinosaur fans and beautiful builders alike by offering you countless possibilities for designing your very own Jurassic Park. In our early access test, however, it still fluctuated between a super hit and a mega flop. (20 Euros, reduced by 20 percent)
- Deep Rock Galactic: In the co-op shooter for up to four trigger-happy dwarfs, you shoot your way through all sorts of cave systems in search of the most valuable raw materials. The completely destructible environments and the crazy design also completely captivated colleague Phil, as he admits in the podcast. (10 Euro, reduced by 67 percent)
- Nioh 2 – Complete Edition: One of the best alternatives to the Dark Souls series is now also available in a complete collection with all optional content. As a strong warrior you fight against demons from Japanese mythology. (36 dollars, reduced by 40 percent)
- Dying Light 2: The sequel to the popular zombie hunt with optional co-op lures with a large open world and a surprisingly interesting story. However, the RTX implementation heated up tempers at times and even in the test not everything that shone was brain. (40 dollars, reduced by 33 percent )
