PayPalHave you been penny-pinching ready for the Steam Summer Sale 2021? Well it's live now so you can open those wallets up and build up another backlog of games.
This year Valve has announced what they're calling Forge Your Fate, which are "fourteen themed pages featuring destiny-defining micro-adventures, each one leading to an animated sticker, and all culminating in a fate-forged badge and glory". Each of them brings you to a special store page with games that fit the theme picked, and allow you to continue a little story. Additionally, the Points Shop has been updated with for all-new Game Profiles featuring animated backgrounds, mini-profiles, avatars, and colour schemes.
As per usual, we try to highlight some interesting stuff for you to try out. Here's a little list we think are worth a go:
- Planetary Annihilation: TITANS - 75% off
- Fort Triumph - 55% off
- Desperados III - 50% off
- The Pedestrian - 50% off
- VirtuaVerse - 50% off
- Skul: The Hero Slayer - 25% off
- Space Haven - 25% off
- Crusader Kings III - 20% off
- Griftlands - 20% off
- Valheim - 10% off (first sale)
You can grab some cheap games during Steam's Summer Sale from June 24 until July 8. As usual, the store appears to be struggling too and not all discounts are live (keep refreshing and more appear). Eventually it will smoothen out.
What will you be picking up? Do let us know in the comments what you think it's worth it.

Desperadoes III is a really fun game with many hours of content. Shadow Tactics I enjoyed even more.

Can anyone explain which Bundle to buy for Crusader Kings III?
Should I buy:
- Crusader Kings III + Expansion Pass ~ 75€
- Crusader Kings III Royal Edition ~ 68€
- Crusader Kings III Royal Edition + Extension Pass ~ 102€
Royal Edition and Extension Pass looks kind of redundant, but only partly. If Paradox would initially launch a "Pay-Once-and-Get-Everything-that-comes" Edition for 120€, I would buy it. Maybe only as an offering for the preorder phase.

More than 100 games on my wishlist currently on sale, but I'll try my best to resist. I really need to play the ones I've already bought. My pile of shame is getting out of hand. Buying things just because they're cheap isn't wise.
Maybe I'll grab just one or two.

First new purchase in a *long* time; I picked up Superliminal & The Pedestrian; really looking forward to both.

Space Haven looks tempting pretty much right up my alley, but I'll have to wait till it's done or 2022, which ever is later.
I'm out a similar mindset. Maybe my tastes are changing our maybe I'm internalizing my goal to not purchase any games this is year. I think more, that I'm just getting more picky about what I want to spend my money and time on despite all the great games out there.

Unfortunately, it's really hard for me to find anything even remotely interesting (browsing native only)

I'm not 100% sure how you have selected the platform, but the default sales page for me is mainly Linux games at the top, more Windows games closer to bottom. I have no idea if that's by accident or not.
I have Linux set in the store settings, so widgets that do the filtering properly have only Linux games.
If I select Linux from category menu, all games seem to have Linux support as far as I can see.

Would be really cool if you (or any user on this site, really) could highlight more games.
Happy with the games you and some users in the comments recommended, just want more!

I loved the steam mini badge game, good writing and well presented except for the bloody stickers you can't remove from your inventory (ahem.. pigs!).
I bought some classics I have been eyeing off for years;
* Streets of Rage
* Firewatch
* Terraria
* Pilgrims
* Akane
* Zombie Night terror
* Kingdom - New Lands + Two Crowns OST
* LiS:BtS Outfit DLC because why not it's a dollar.
Kingdom New Lands I didn't really want but I wanted to supports devs and complete my collection, the new Kingdom Two Crowns is awesome.

With hundreds of games I've yet to play and all my money going into my garden this season, I really can't enjoy this Summer's Steam Sale. Still, it probably won't hurt if I take a little peek ... ;)

Steam frequently does those sales where you get something for every $X that you spend. Usually, it's a trading card, which I immediately sell for a few cents, which translates to less money spent. I've reached the point where I only buy new games during those promotions in order to achieve maximum savings. In the interim, I'll just play some of the games that I bought last time and haven't gotten around to yet.

You get a card per $10 / 8.40 € spent, I think. But considering you won't net more than maybe 0.05 € for selling one, you won't be saving much.

True but sometimes you get foil cards that sell for a buck or two. Plus 'not much' savings is better than none and this method keeps my List of Shame pretty small.
I didn't know that this sale was doing that though. I didn't see it anywhere. Thanks for letting me know.
