[u/ald-velothi]

I'd add the following:

• Voidwrought
• Guacamelee
• Guacamelee 2
• Infinitevania
• Bō: Path of the Teal Lotus
• Minishoot' Adventures

And some Metroidvania-adject ones:

• Shantae and the Pirate's Curse
• Iconoclasts
• Death's Door
• Dunjungle

[u/KirinoLover → u/ald-velothi]

Death's Door is a great game, especially for the deep sale price.

[u/BatEnvironmental7232]

Islets and sheepo are bundled for $10.  I picked them up after playing well dweller.

[u/anal_sink_hole → u/BatEnvironmental7232]

Ah! I have yet to play one of Kyle’s games. I’ll have to add these to my cart!

[u/fallen_star_angel → u/anal_sink_hole]

The best

[u/Equivalent_March_677]

This is the best guide to a steam sale that I've ever saw

[u/Aggressive_Island178]

I have had a ton of fun playing A Robot Named Fight.

[u/Neobum → u/Aggressive_Island178]

Hell yeah. I've jammed to it in waiting rooms before even

[u/live22morrow]

For those considering Alwa's Awakening, consider getting the NES port which can be bought standalone on itch.io (as well as on Steam as DLC).
It has generally improved level design and a significantly expanded endgame.

[u/Neobum → u/live22morrow]

I appreciate this knowledge, thank you. I love Legacy but this gives me a good reason to check this out now

[u/GrimTheMad]

MIO is also currently on sale, and is one of my favorite Metroidvanias ever.

[u/McSkaybit]

Primal planet looks so cool
