With a pretty meh sale overall, I'd like to point out a few hidden gems I've come across that others may want to look at as well.

First up is Helldivers. This is a sci fi top down co-op shooter, and it's a blast to play, it supports both local and online co-op, and if you're a fan of Starship Troopers this is a must own. Made by Arrowhead Game Studios (same people behind Magicka and Gauntlet) it's an intense game with lots of friendly fire, I picked up the Digital Deluxe Edition and all that extra content really helps add meat to the game, a great purchase, playing local co-op and sometimes jumping online with others is so much fun in this game if you want to shoot some aliens and then get smashed by a vehicle your friend just called in 5 seconds later.

Next up is Invisible Inc made by Klei Entertainment (same people behind Don't Starve). This is a turn based cyberpunk stealth heist game, and it really scratched that itch that XCOM was scratching until Long War made me rage quit because of it's unfair and insane difficulty spikes. Very tense heist gameplay, balancing risk and reward and trying not to get your agents killed with each move. It's on a pretty good discount, I picked that up along with its DLC, which helps flesh out the game some more.

We also have Clusterpuck 99 this game is on sale for only $1. It's an air hockey esque style local multiplayer only game (you can play against bots as well) which is similar to the simplicity and fun Rocket League provides. Score the most goals to win, while shooting, and slamming opponents out of the way and making epic saves. Just remember it doesn't have any online mode. Great if you want to play something against your friends when they come over.

If you want something similar to Don't Starve, there's a game called Crashlands. It's really funny, and is a sci fi take on the Don't Starve formula with cool things like better base building and improved combat. It's a shame it's overshadowed by Don't Starve so much because it improves so much on the formula, it's more of a singleplayer adventure rather than a 1 life survival game.

If you mix Lethal League, Dragon Ball Z and magic, you get Wand Wars. There's a demo you can try, it's great fast paced local multiplayer elimination gameplay, with a great soundtrack. There is a singleplayer against bots and you can throw down against your friends when they come over. Great game!

Those are some good games I've come across, has anyone else found anything good worth checking out, let me know :)

I bought few copies of Helldivers for some of my Overwatch buddies. Haven't played that much of it yet but the amount of times we killed eachother from friendly fire, auto turrets and those air craft stratagems has made me facepalm and lolz quite a few times.

$4.99 Pharaoh Rebirth+ might be a gem
$2.49 Castle In The Darkness a gem imo

edit: p.s. is there any way to see prices of games you own? Sometimes I like to browse through them, but I don't think there's a way to see them as if you were searching the Steam store

Helldivers, really? I played a lot of this, but it's totally inferior to other Arrowhead games. What it lacks is a fun campaign that was present in Magicka games. Multi is fun and randomly generated maps can be fun, but only for 10 hours or so. Later, this game is soooo repetitive. Ok, it's fun to play with friends, but, yeah, even then after hour or two mostly we switch to Magicka.
