31 must-play Steam games for $5 or less in the Summer Sale
About $100 if you buy them all.
Steam is massive, so I pulled together 31 must-play games—indies, cult hits and classics I personally recommend—each priced at $5 or less in the 2026 Summer Sale. Five dollars is my "not a big deal" threshold, and if you grab the whole list it comes to roughly $100. Highlights: Divinity: Original Sin — Sale Price: $3.99; Developer: Larian; Released: 2014; PCG Review: 87%. The start of modern Larian, with a lighter, comedic tone and genre-leading turn-based combat. Divinity 2 — Sale Price: $2.99; Developer: Larian; Released: 2009; PCG Review: referenced but score not available. Not Divinity: Original Sin 2; a worthwhile older Larian RPG that feels of a different era. Divine Divinity — Sale Price: $0.89; Developer: Larian; Released: 2002; PCG Review: 84%. An early Larian title well worth revisiting.
