We’re getting ever closer to Steam’s big Summer Sale 2024<\/a>. We’re still a few weeks away, admittedly, but there are a couple more events until then to keep us in the mood, and one of them is ongoing for the next few days.<\/p>

Yesterday, Steam kicked off its Endless Replayability Fest, a sales event that celebrates those games that just seem to go on forever. But, you know, in a good way. Essentially, if it’s something you can play over and over again without A) getting bored, or B) having the exact same experience as the first time, then it’s probably here.<\/p>

We’ve got discounts on a bunch of games, with a few being teased in the above trailer, such as Don’t Starve<\/em>, Dead Cells<\/em>, Mortal Sin<\/em>, and Risk of Rain 2<\/em>. As always with these events, it goes on for a week, so this one will be ending Monday, May 20 at 10am PT.<\/p>

Endless fun (wait…did I say that already?)<\/h2>

You can see everything that’s in the Endless Replayability Fest by visiting the Steam page<\/a>. I’m seeing a few titles already that have grabbed my attention, including Stellaris<\/em>, which recently experienced a boon in popularity thanks to its Machine Age<\/em> DLC<\/a>. <\/p>

There’s also Balatro<\/em>, LocalThunk’s “poker roguelike” that hit the scene back in February, and has been enjoying a decent amount of success these past few months. It’s currently at “Overwhelmingly Positive” on Steam<\/a>, so it must be doing something right.<\/p>

There are also a couple of newer games that have been listed, including Hades 2<\/em> and Manor Lords<\/em>, but these aren’t discounted. They’ve just been included as part of the event. Personally, I’ve got my eye on Dwarf Fortress<\/em>, which is 20% off at the moment. Always fancied getting lost in this simulation, because I’ve got nothing else going on.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
