Everything feels like it’s about to explode in wildfires or callous politicians, but at least that’s what you can currently get Bugsnax 50% off in the Steam Summer Sale, which started yesterday and runs through July 7 at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time.

The sale makes a lot of money thousands of games– most of which are reduced by 20-50%, although some have reduced their prices by over 80% (such as that very eh NBA 2K22, which is currently $9.59 and originally was $59.99) (lol). The games included in the offer are diverse. You can snag anything from a triple-A title for typically $60 to some cult indie classics you’ve been interested in for years but haven’t bought yet, all for a hefty discount.

If that choice and opportunity sounds overwhelming, that’s because it is. But there are easy ways to get straight to the point and find the games you want, nothing more, nothing less. The discounted blockbuster titles like Axe: Shadows die twice (now $29.99, 50% off) and Red Dead Redemption 2 (also $29.99, also 50% off) are distributed at the top of the Steam homepage for maximum impulse buying, although you can also take the time to browse through the homepage’s useful genre and theme categories. You can filter these categories even further with Steam’s myriad of filters, which include prices and even niche moods like “atmospheric” or “medieval.”

However, I understand that you may be busy anxiously tweeting about “society”. I was there; I also live in a society. I want to help you find the crème de la Steam crème, so here are some big titles with sales worth knowing:

  • Red Dead Redemption 2 – $29.99
