Key information
PC Gamer compiled a selection of underappreciated games currently featured in the Steam Autumn Sale based on recommendations from the publication's team. The curated list highlights overlooked titles spanning various genres, including text-heavy role-playing adventures, visual novels, strategy simulations, and tactical combat experiences.
Skald: Against the Black Priory is highlighted as a favorite featuring DOS-style graphics and fresh late '90s gameplay mechanics alongside cosmic horror prose. Meanwhile, Tavern Keeper received a significant update that introduces cellar excavation, blacksmith hiring, and staff duty assignments during its early access period.
Reviewers noted several technical and design limitations in the featured titles. Necromunda: Hired Gun was described as a mess at launch with bugs and glitches, though the reviewer found it janky enough to have personality. Mordheim: City of the Damned was characterized as clunky, possessing a stiff learning curve alongside crunchy combat and progression systems.
The titles carry various promotional discounts during the sale event, such as Skald available for $6.74 at 55% off and Tavern Keeper priced at $20.99 at 30% off. Endless Legend 2 is also discounted at $24.99 following its departure from early access a couple of weeks prior.
