🔥 Top discounts — and why they're worth it
Resident Evil 2 Remake — −80%, now ~$4.00
This is the one to add if you haven't. RE2 Remake doesn't just look good for a 2019 game — it's still the benchmark for how survival horror should feel. The Raccoon City Police Department is a puzzle box wrapped in darkness, and Mr. X (the unstoppable pursuer who stalks you floor to floor) changes how you move through the entire map: you start making decisions differently once you realize he can hear you.
On r/patientgamers, the thread calling it "10/10 and one of the best games of all time" has stood for years, and the reasons players keep citing are specific: the atmosphere is exact, the resource scarcity forces real decisions, and cleared rooms never feel safe because of the sound design. Metacritic's user aggregation consistently places it among the top-rated horror titles ever released on PC.
The Leon and Claire campaigns overlap spatially but tell different stories — two full playthroughs built into one purchase. At $4, there's no equivalent in the genre.

shapez 2 — Factory DLC, −40%, now $17.99 (ends Jun 20)
shapez 2 launched 1.0 in April 2026 and immediately got reviewed by Hardcore Gamer as "endless automation challenges delivered with genuine purity." The Factory DLC (Manufacture Mode) adds what early access players most requested: permanent, large-scale factories that persist across sessions, trade station economics, and a proper late-game grind.
What sets shapez 2 apart from Factorio or Satisfactory is what it strips away. No resource scarcity. No combat. No survival pressure. The only problem to solve is the logic of your own production line — and the community on r/shapezio frequently describes this as the gentlest on-ramp into factory games that exists. "Gets to the fun automation stuff right away without having to faff about with punching rocks," one heavily upvoted comment reads.
The developer (tobspr Games) is a tiny indie team that shipped 3,700+ commits before calling it 1.0, runs open-source modding tools via Steam Workshop, and is currently hosting a modding contest with an RTX 5080 as first prize. That's not standard behavior for a studio this size.

🚀 New top sellers — what's actually driving the chart
Gothic 1 Remake — #1 monthly seller, $49.99
Gothic 1 Remake has held the top spot since Jun 6, and the reason isn't nostalgia alone. The original 2001 Gothic was a cult RPG that gave players no quest markers, no map arrows, no hand-holding — and the remake keeps that commitment intact. You're dropped into a sealed mining colony, and the game expects you to figure out the faction politics, the geography, and the combat timing through failure.
Game8's review (published Jun 5) calls it "Unrelenting, Unforgiving, and Unapologetic" — the narrative is built around a premise that's genuinely specific: prisoners inside a magical barrier form their own factional society. The story doesn't explain this to you; you discover it by watching NPCs interact. The early game is punishing in a way most modern RPGs avoid on purpose, and that's exactly why it's resonating with players who've burned out on open-world comfort zones.
The consensus trade-off is real: some crashes and rough visual edges at launch. But for RPG players who want a world that doesn't bend to accommodate them, this is the rare 2026 release that means it.
Crimson Desert — NEW entry, $69.99
PCMag's senior writer spent two months in it before publishing: "I can't get enough of Crimson Desert — it feels like the next landmark action-RPG, alongside Breath of the Wild, Elden Ring, and The Witcher 3."
Developer Pearl Abyss built something that fuses Dragon's Dogma's combat physicality with Breath of the Wild's environmental interactivity, then layered Red Dead Redemption 2-style NPC simulation on top. The world reacts: NPCs have schedules, you can get flagged as a criminal for assaulting townsfolk, there's a full wanted system. Puzzles reward curiosity without flagging what's a puzzle — light your arrow over a sconce, shoot it at vines, done. The game treats you as someone who can figure things out.
The combat specifically stands out: you can unlock wrestling moves (including a suplex) and use them on regular enemies, while bosses require you to scale them like Shadow of the Colossus. Pearl Abyss has kept patching since March — gliding reworked, boss invulnerability windows removed, controls tightened. The game that launched is measurably better than the one reviewed.
Death Stranding 2: On the Beach — NEW entry, $69.99
If the first Death Stranding felt like a proof of concept you respected but didn't finish, the sequel is the version where everything actually lands. COGconnected's PC review calls it "Kojima's best work to date" and "the best marriage of mechanics and meaning in his career." The core loop — cross terrain, deliver cargo, maintain balance — is built out into something with considerably more combat variety, faster pacing between story beats, and a narrative that hits harder than its predecessor's.
The PC port was handled by Nixxes (who did the Spider-Man ports) and is technically clean: full DLSS/PSSR support, every controller works properly including Switch 2, and a new "Into the Wilder" hardcore mode was added for PC launch. On Steam Deck it runs.
This is the rare Kojima game where the mechanics and the themes are actually saying the same thing.
