In the hot summer, I thought I was the only one who couldn't sleep, but I didn't expect you couldn't sleep either! So get up and play games! Taking advantage of the Steam Summer Sale, let's take a look at which games are worth recommending!
Borderlands 3
Remember the Pandora star that burst into laughter while exploding equipment? This time, "Borderlands 3" is not only discounted heavily, but even the Atlas in the game has started a big sale! Four cool treasure hunters are on the scene, each with a unique skill and a lot of complaints, taking you to work in the sky, on the ground, and across the planets! From the underwear dance at the beginning to the final battle with the BOSS full of special effects, you can't stop at all. Not to mention the sand sculpture weapon that can launch "high-energy feces spray", which is specially used to deal with various evil bosses. Refreshing shooting + treasure hunting cycle, every time you explode an orange, it feels like winning the first prize in the lottery. There is also a full set of Chinese dubbing. If you missed the golden age of "Borderlands 2", then this generation is your "crazy ticket" to return to Pandora - now the discounted price is less than 10 yuan, which is cheaper than your takeout! Oh, don't forget that Borderlands 4 will be launched on September 12 after more than a month of brushing, with a new vault hunter, seamless map, dynamic weather, and the sky and ground + double jump brought by the hook! It is a seamless connection to the emptiness after the excitement of the third generation! Brothers can start pre-ordering!
By the way, the recent T2 agreement storm, the rumors are getting more and more outrageous. The official has issued an announcement to clarify that it will not steal privacy and will not ban any stand-alone MODs. Everyone does not have to worry about playing at ease!
Tiny Tina's Wonderlands
If "Borderlands" is a doomsday rock, then "Tiny Tina's Wonderlands" is a heavy metal solo of magic punk. You will enter a fantasy board game world created by a blasting girl - there are mushroom knights, undead skeletons, fire-breathing dragons, magic that can summon meteorites, and shotguns that can blow people into rainbows. That's right, even the "role professions" in this game are messed up: you can be a "hammer warrior" or a "poisonous necromancer", with mixed skills, all depending on Tina's pleasure! The whole game is like an offline but high-energy DND group run, DM says to blow up, raps, and the plot turns as fast as turning pages. And you - just bring your equipment and follow little Tina to blow up the world. The price is now thinner than a magic book. Missing it once is equivalent to missing an epic fantasy madness!
Sid Meier's Civilization VI
You thought you just wanted to "play casually"? As a result, a few hours later, the world has been unified, aircraft carriers have taken off, and nuclear bombs are being prepared. Yes, it is this magical "turn-based cancer" - "Sid Meier's Civilization VI"! From the barbaric era to the future world, watch you step by step from a small village to defeat Alexander and Caesar, and realize your "dream of a wise ruler". You can develop technology, engage in art, and directly turn your neighbors into cultural heritage. Different civilizations, different leaders, and different playing styles, each game is a replay of the brief history of mankind. With various DLC expansions (it is recommended to buy the collector's edition to get it all in one go), there are so many ways to play that you can write a thesis. The summer promotion discount allows you to easily become a "global hegemon", and the only thing you need is time - a lot of time. I just want to say one thing: don't click to start, the curse of the next round is not a joke.
Sid Meier's Civilization VII
"Sid Meier's Civilization VII", which has been discounted for the first time since its launch, has gradually begun to turn the tide recently. This generation not only has more realistic graphics and more complex systems, but also adds unprecedented new mechanisms such as "era events", "historical influence", and "civilization variants", giving you ten more options and twenty ways to die in each round than the previous one. City construction is like building Lego, the diplomatic system is like falling in love, and culture and religion can also play out the flavor of "national entertainment circle". Of course, some players say that this game is "not mature enough" at present, but the recent updates of the production team can be said to have just improved the criticisms at the beginning of the launch, and the launch of the creative workshop has also made this game more diversified. It is said that a man should be treated with new eyes after three days of separation! Buy it during the summer promotion, I can only say that it will definitely not be a loss!
Mafia: Definitive Edition
"Mafia: Definitive Edition" is not a simple high-definition remake, it is a carefully carved era replica. The story takes place in the United States in the 1930s. You are a taxi driver who is involved in the world of the mafia by chance-from then on, you embark on a road full of brotherhood and bloody underground world. The cinematic lens language, the immersive narrative with full Chinese dubbing, and the reworked action system and weather system seem to pull you behind the scenes of a classic gangster movie. Here, every mission is a confrontation between morality and survival, and every shot is like a signature of fate. And now, this blockbuster-level work has finally ushered in a discount that is "cheaper than the price of oil". Old players are revisiting it, and young players are trying it for the first time. It is a perfect time to get into the pit! By the way, the sequel of the Four Brothers, Hometown, will also be launched in August this year. Two movies will be played in a row! Isn’t this awesome?!
Risk of Rain 2
Have you ever thought about how cool it would be to battle with endless monsters with hundreds of enhanced props on a planet that is constantly raining? "Risk of Rain 2" is such a "brush to death" action shooting game. Every time you start, you have nothing, but after a few minutes, you can become a battle madman with "seven lasers, one missile, four stealths, and two blood recovery". The map is random, the equipment is random, and the number of enemies is also random, but the laughter of you and your friends is certain - especially when you are surrounded by 50 bugs and still say "I can still fight, I can still fight". Supporting four-player online, single-player hard battle, speed pass challenge and even mod carnival, the fun of this game really can't be explained in summer. Not to mention, it is now discounted! If you don't rush once, the rain will be in vain!
Marvel's Midnight Suns
Don't think Marvel only knows flying laser punches. This "Midnight Suns" throws the hero into the deep waters of card + turn-based system, which is a "superpower version of "Fire Emblem"". You will play the role of "Hunter" and form a tactical team with superheroes such as Doctor Strange, Blade, Iron Man, etc., using strategy combination + card skills + team cooperation to save the world. Do you think this is just fighting? Wrong! Fight monsters during the day and socialize at night. Have a drink with the heroes, practice yoga, send gifts and chat with them - indulging in the emotional line is more addictive than fighting the boss. Despite the main tactics, its performance rhythm is super exciting, and various superhero signature skills can be used in the fight. Now it is discounted to enter, and you can start a fantasy life that belongs to you and the Avengers for just a few cups of milk tea!
NBA 2K25
The summer promotion content of NBA 2K25 is still full of sincerity! Whether you are a street king, MC mode plot party, or card pack hunter, as long as you love basketball, there is a growth path for you here. From entering the league through the draft, to hitting the "triple-double ceiling", to appearing on the cover wearing pink sneakers, everything depends on your operation and tactics. This year's version focuses on immersive player life experience, with more explosive pictures, smoother operations, and more realistic trading systems. Start warming up and building an account during the summer promotion, and when the game officially starts, you will be the man who "trains from 0 to become a god." 2K25, which costs 41 yuan, is the best basketball game in the world!
BioShock Series
If you haven't played BioShock, then this summer is your literary cram school. You will follow the protagonist to dive into the underwater city and the sky city, exploring those extreme societies that seem to be utopias but are actually full of mental illness. The first part is a wall-breaking work of gunfights and philosophy; the second part is "Big Daddy's Parenting Road"; the third part is a new question about parallel worlds and free will. This is not a simple FPS game, but an immersive script experience that challenges your three views throughout the whole process. Whether it is "Would you kindly?" or "Booker, catch!", every famous line is worth your screenshot collection. Now the package price is so cheap that you may wonder if your head went into the sea first - if you don't buy it, you will miss a spiritual SPA!
The Quarry
Playing Werewolf in the summer camp, the real werewolf came! The Quarry is a new interactive movie horror game created by the team of Until Dawn. The cast is comparable to Hollywood youth dramas, but there are no big names here, after all, anyone may be the first to die. You will control 9 characters and make countless choices overnight. Every decision may lead to "all members survive" or "blood splattered in the camp". The QTE operation is so tense, and the plot reversal is like riding a roller coaster. Friends sitting next to you can sweat. The charm of this game is that every choice will lead to a different ending. This summer, one of the most economical ways to scare yourself is to take advantage of the discount and travel to the quarry!
XCOM 2
In the world of "XCOM 2", humans have lost, and the earth has become the backyard of aliens - but you, a bald commander, are not dead and are still strong. As the last resistance of mankind, you have to lead a group of agents who pick up equipment by rummaging through trash cans to fight against the most technologically advanced and flashy alien invaders in the universe. The missions are ever-changing, and the life and death of soldiers depends entirely on the operation. If you make a wrong move, the elite sniper may be captured alive at the corner, and his name will be carved on the wall by teammates.
The essence of this game is "you want to be foolproof every time, but in the end you will always be wiped out." But it is fun to play in this kind of high-risk, low-tolerance, aesthetic violence with ashes buried all over the ground. You can freely name the soldiers, watch "Li Tiezhu" sacrifice heroically in the fight against the snake girl, and then personally lead "Wang Cuihua" to revenge successfully. The sense of satisfaction will make you shout "One more shot!" Even if you fail, you will shout "One more shot!" Not to mention the various DLCs that add mechanical warriors, psychic soldiers, three villain sisters, flying assassins... You can even play emotional psychological warfare with aliens! (Recommend the collector's edition to get it all done)
The summer promotion price is ridiculously low now. Without your participation, the command center dare not open the door. Come on, the earth is waiting for your revenge, and the aliens are waiting for you to headshot!
