Some underappreciated gems going cheaper in the current sales, ends tomorrow

With multiple stores have games on sale, here’s a slightly different look at some possible Linux games to buy. We often highlight exceptional indie games, the few AAA games we have and so on. However, we don’t often highlight some of the more underappreciated gems that aren’t hugely popular, but still worth looking into.

To make the list, they had to be games I’ve personally played and enjoyed, not in Early Access while also not getting a lot of sales and recognition despite being really quite fun. On top of that, they all have less than one thousand reviews from users of Steam, which means they will be overlooked even more than others.

After looking around, taking all aspects into consideration I came up with quite a varied list for you to look into. Here’s ten I consider that fit (in no particular order), with them also being on sale right now and available on Linux:

1. Basingstoke - Humble Store - Steam
2. MidBoss | Humble Store - Steam
3. Crush Your Enemies | Steam
4. CRYPTARK | Humble Store - Steam
5. RIVE | Humble Store - Steam
6. Overfall | Humble Store - Steam
7. In Celebration of Violence | Humble Store - Steam
8. Vaporum | Humble Store - Steam
9. Haque | Steam
10. Assault Android Cactus | Steam

For those of you who have been holding out and sitting on the fence about picking something up, perhaps this list will help. All deserving of praise, developers that could probably do with a little help too. Even when they’re not on sale, still some quality gaming to be had there.

Titles may be available on other stores, although not on sale (so not linked directly). Only linking to stores that have them on sale.

Both Humble Store and Steam have their big sales ending at 6PM UTC tomorrow, the sale on GOG also ends tomorrow at 11PM UTC.
