Steam's PC Halloween Sale Begins

Get a variety of spooky (and not-so-spooky) computer games for cheap.

64 Comments

Update: It looks like the original listing for the Halloween sale was indeed incorrect; there are now only 52 games officially featured in the sale (though the games that have been removed are still on sale). You can see the updated list of deals here.

Original Story: Steam today kicked off its Halloween sale, discounting several hundred games, not all of which are necessarily the sort you'd expect to be featured in a Halloween sale.

BEHOLD THE TERROR THAT IS CITY MANAGEMENT
BEHOLD THE TERROR THAT IS CITY MANAGEMENT

To be clear, it's not just that there are games on sale that don't neatly fit into the horror genre; it's understandable that Dying Light ($30), DayZ ($30), and The Binding of Isaac Collection ($0.66) would be included. But there are also games that are not even remotely Halloween related like Cities: Skylines ($15) and Broforce ($10) in there, too.

It's possible this is a mistake on Valve's part; despite the advertisement for a Halloween sale on Steam's frontpage, there isn't the usual hub showcasing the included games. Instead, there's only a long list of search results.

Whatever the case, the sale runs from now through November 2 at 10 AM PT. You can see the full list of everything on sale here.

Resident Evil: Operation Racoon City STILL not on sale. It never is. Why not? I know no one likes it but me (i have it on console and want it on PC) but you have to admit, it's scary! In how bad it is according to most people.

i don't see how selling a digital game for 30 dollars much of a sale. the bandwidth cost alone would be that much almost depending on the size of game.

I never played Dead Space 2/3, though I could never get back from the fact that they gave Isaac a voice then. Also, I heard the completely removed the suspense from those games and filled it with weaponized necros ala RE6.

@cboye18: I liked all of them. I don't really think they removed the suspense. I think that for most people it's just feels like it's gone because it's a series of three games and they're used to the same sort of thing happening in the games. There's still freaky shit going on so I enjoyed it and I liked the story. I hope they make a fourth eventually to finish the story though.

@cboye18: Dead Space 2 is not terribly bad, I finished it a couple of times. 3 I didn't bother with.

Talking about Halloween, I'm currently playing Silent Hill: Downpour. The beginning of the game is terrible because of the bad combat controls and mediocre voice acting. I finally tamed the controls and now I'm having a good time.

If you guys need a Halloween game, I recommend you Echo Night Beyond for the PS2 or Clock Tower 3. Not the best horror games around, but definitely worth checking out.

@StonerDemon: SH Downpour was so terrible that I completely lost interest and stopped playing once I made it to that Church orphanage place.

Cities Skylines belongs to the Halloween sale. It's super scary in that it will consume your life.

And as usual I own every good game on the sale. Might pick up prototype but then again I just bought GTA5 and 3 other games so that's way too much money.

Is Cities: Skylines worth $15? I've been wanting to get this but I keep thinking it will drop even lower in the next month or so.

@Mr_Mark_Legion: I've actually already played though it... but traded it when it was still worth $42... with plans to rebuy when it went on sale for $20. A very good game indeed.

@whatsazerg: You could've gotten 4, 5, and a slew of other capcom games for $15 if you'd grabbed the humble bundle that ended Tuesday ;)

@Daveof89: Which is what I did! Except Resident Evil 5 needs gfw and that's a big no no. No big loss, RE5 is not something I'm dying to play, ever.

@ahpuck: I agree, but it was still totally worth considering all the extra games thrown in (LP3, Remember Me, Street Fighter IV)

Time to buy some more games and not play them. Nothing against the games, I just seem to be more into collecting for some reason.

@Attitude2000: You and every other steam player. I have 324 games in my library. I have probably opened maybe 40-50 (other than idling to get trading cards). It's just so easy to do, what, with the combination of cheap bundles (humble, bundle stars, etc.) and ridiculously low prices in steam sales.

I literally have an external hard drive I leave plugged into my pc dedicated to my steam library...

@Daveof89: Every other? Uhh, no, sorry. If you have just 4 games then you're in the top 80%. (There are LEGIONS of people that just have DOTA2 and maybe Counter Strike.)

@Zloth2: I'm not sure where you're pulling that stat from... this would suggest otherwise: We're buying more pc games than we can play

@Pr0ving4Gr0undz: I saw it, but RE 4 was only available if you paid about $9.50, which I passed on because I have every other game in the bundle that I wanted to play.
