In celebration of this year's Steam Summer Sale (and the fact that I'm not broke for once), I'd like to create a gift train! However, there's a catch: you guys get to choose what games I give away. I want to make this more of a challenge and add at least a sort of game-type feature. So, I've added a few guidelines:

  1. Choose exactly 5 games. The combined price of these 5 games must be between $20 and $50 (American).
  2. Out of these 5 games, at least 1 must be non-bundled.
  3. You can choose any 5 games on Steam, on sale or not, except those more than $50 and those that cannot be given away on the site.
  4. Any mentions of Bad Rats on anyone's list could possibly be tallied up and thrown on the end of the train. Or, Bad Rats might show up in your inbox. I'm not sure yet. =D

I'll tally up the total after roughly 100 replies or about a week, whichever comes first. The top 5 games to be tallied up will compose the train. And I might as well fill up two or so slots with Bad Rats...just in case.

This is an experimental idea I literally came up with just now in my dazed, tired stupor between night shifts. I'd really like to see how this pans out, as I don't recall seeing many ideas like this here.

EDIT 1: Almost to 100 quality posts! Under 20 left before I add the final tally!
EDIT 2: We have 90 ballots in, with 13 Bad Rats! I've counted them all so far.

EDIT 3: The results are in! Our winners are:

  1. Crypt of the NecroDancer (14 votes, $3.74)
  2. Stardew Valley (13 votes, $11.99)
  3. Undertale (13 votes, $6.99)
  4. Darkest Dungeon (9 votes, $14.99)
  5. Invisible, Inc (9 votes, $6.79)
  6. 16 copies of Bad Rats! ($7.84)

I'll post the runners-up in the morning!

EDIT 4: Here's the runners-up!

  1. Ryse: Son of Rome (8 votes, $4.99)
  2. This War of Mine (8 votes, $4.99)
  3. Transistor (8 votes, $4.99)
  4. Firewatch (7 votes, $13.39)
  5. The Long Dark (7 votes, $6.79)
  6. Subnautica (7 votes, $11.99)

CS:GO cannot be purchased as a gift this sale, valve disabled that option. Also the price listed for Life is Strange is only for episode 1. For the full game it'd be $19.99 full and $.9.99 discounted

Valve has disabled gifting of CS:GO during this sale to try to fight smurfing Or in their words, "players tend to stick around if they buy the game for their self" or something like that :P

As of this post, I've counted 89 entries, not including exclusively Bad Rats lists. We've got 13 Bad Rats somewhere in the train. Preliminary tallies show Undertale and Stardew Valley on top with 12, Crypt of the Necrodancer with 11 and four other games tied for 8. Eleven more ballots or shall we conclude now?
