Time for another cheap hidden gem hunting post,

The rules are:

  • Games around 1 buck (please no more than 1.99)

Super House of Dead Ninjas - $0.69
REFUNCT - $0.89
WINDLANDS - $1.99 (Historical low)

Quantum Conundrum - $0.98

The Witcher: Enhanced Edition - $1.49
Stacking - $1.49
Psychonauts - $1.49

Deus Ex - $0.97
Thief Gold - $0.97
Thief II: The Metal Age - $0.97

Some of these games have been mentioned before. That's because they really are good games.
Deus Ex and Thief 1 & 2 are old and not pretty, but are still awesome games. IMHO they are better than later games in their series. Even Deus Ex: Invisible War is better than most of newer additions to its series.

I would not say that Deus Ex Invisible War is better than the later titles, but otherwise I agree with you :P Thief 1-3 are amazing, the more recent Thief is not.

it's offer 30-45 minutes of play. You can extent the time if you try to speedrun

But it is really enjoyable. It has a very interesting way to introduce new mechanics. And the music is great

I recently played and enjoyed it. It's very short, probably about 30-45 min for first run, but what's there is fun. I'd never played a parkour-type game, so it took me a bit to figure out how to get to some places, but it was beginner friendly. There are speed-run challenges if you like those.

I liked it a lot! The graphics and soundtrack are great (the OST is available at a choose-your-own-price,) and it's fairly relaxing (unless you try to speed-run it, but that's fun in its own way.) I'd definitely recommend it, especially at that price.

Crazy good recommendations. I've played and liked a lot of these. Unfortunately no new gems for me.

Thanks for the complement. ;-) While most (all?) of these are older and have been bundled, I'm surprised many of these can be had individually at this price point.

Trials of Azra (https://store.steampowered.com/app/487160/Trials_of_Azra/)
I bought this a week before the sale, but I see its the same price as then (0.79 eur). Just played it for around an hour, good pixel graphics, unique puzzle game where you control the bodies of the dead enemies to get through the room(s).
