Press Start may receive a commission when you buy from links on our site at no extra cost to you.

Did somebody say Steam Summer Sale? Yep, it’s that time again (Winter), and PC gamers everywhere can start filling their already-burgeoning backlogs with a heap of amazing, cheap games that they’ll have every intention of playing and almost never get around to.

As usual, the annual event is absolutely stacked with bargains and you really can’t get around the Steam storefront without running into a deal of some kind, so there’s no way we’d be able to give you a comprehensive list of what’s on sale. What we can do, is drop a few recommendations – whether it’s because they’re especially cheap or just because they’re fantastic games and now is a great time to buy them.

Take a look at just a few easy picks from among the lot, with the sale running from now until July 12th:
