The Steam Spring Sale is live right now, ushering in another season of great game discounts. Indie titles, major AAA releases and everything in between are considered. With so many options on the platform, it can be daunting trying to find the best titles available at the biggest discounts. Thankfully, this article mentions five games that can be purchased at a whopping 90% off during the ongoing Steam sale.
From big names to forgotten ones, there’s a good chance the following titles will provide a good time. Regardless of whether players are newbies or they will be visiting again, such offers should not be ignored.
Here are 5 games with 90% discount from the Steam Spring Sale
5) POST 2 ($0.99/INR48)
Considered one of the most controversial games of all time, POSTAL 2 is the best example of how a title can be so bad it’s good. Developed by Running With Scissors, the 2003 FPS offering can be described as a run-and-gun shooter set in a sandbox world.
Dated gameplay aside, the absolute highlight of this game is its gritty nature and borderline youthful approach to social issues, which has led to it being banned in a handful of countries. As the Postal Dude, players try to complete daily tasks while dealing with enemy NPCs from Paradise, Arizona while killing everything that moves.
This is certainly a game with a crude sense of humor. However, those Steam players who enjoy the bizarre gameplay will find POSTAL 2 to be a mischievously delightful experience.
4) INSIDE ($1.99/INR 56)
One of the most iconic indie titles of recent memory, INSIDE from developer Playdead is a masterful combination of platforming, action and atmosphere.
Guide a young boy through a spooky facility overrun by mindless humanoid drones. However, in stealth sections as well as exciting chases, danger lurks around every corner. The physics-driven 2.5D platforming is also factored into the well-crafted puzzles that players must solve to progress in each set-piece. The game was released on Steam back in 2016 but remains a fan-favorite classic as it has won countless awards over the years.
3) Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition ($3.99/INR 89)
The Fullclip Edition of this title, first released in 2011, was released in 2017 as a remastered version of the cult-classic FPS game. With improved textures, lighting and assets compared to the original, this release offers the same chaotic action that Bullestorm is known for.
Developed by People Can Fly of Painkiller, the protagonist Grayson Hunt embarks on a journey of revenge. Combat is a major highlight here, as the game rewards creative kills achieved with its various mechanics — like kicks, slides, and more — all of which can be seamlessly chained together.
It’s fun in an action-packed package that’s a relic of its gritty shooter era. But it’s also an experience that Steam users shouldn’t be fooled by based on general first impressions.
2) Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel! ($3.99/INR 199)
Building on the success of 2012’s Borderlands 2, The Pre-Sequel is an intriguing sequel. While not a mainline entry in the series, it takes place between the first two games in the franchise.
This title tells the story of a group of vault hunters led by the only Handsome Jack, who will become the main antagonist of Borderlands 2. The team goes in search of a mysterious vault on the planet Pandora’s moon Elpis. The gameplay offered by this title is similar to the second installment in the series, as it’s also an FPS/RPG hybrid looter shooter.
But there are new additions here, notably an oxygen meter, zero gravity segments, as well as the new laser weapon and cryo element. At just $3.99 or INR 199, this deal is a no-brainer as the 2014 game also features campaign co-op for up to four players on Steam.
1) Star Wars: Fallen Jedi Order ($3.99/INR 219)
Respawn Entertainment’s debut Star Wars project surprised fans back in 2019 as it was an excellent action-adventure game. It is set in the legendary sci-fi universe and takes place after the events of Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. Players take on the role of a Padawan named Cal Kestis who is being hunted by the Imperial Inquisition.
The game is best described as a 3D Metroidvania with hack and slash combat. Wielding both his lightsabers and Force powers, Cal faces challenging enemies in combat reminiscent of the Soulslike games.
With its upcoming sequel called Jedi Surivor, completing this game is a must for fans of the genre and franchise. The Steam Spring Sale began on March 16, 2023. It will last over a week and will end on March 23, 2023 at 10:00 AM PT/1:00 PM ET/10:30 PM IST.
