On this sale, you will find mostly indie games (new, old, and upcoming) and a few triple A titles like Ninja Gaiden 2, Resident Evil Village, Nioh, Final Fantasy VII, and Monster Hunter Wilds.
I got Resident Evil Village and Nioh with a great discount. I recommend you check it out while you still can.

😎Here is Something Cool
I finally watched Gigguk's short anime film, and it is one of the best things I've seen this whole year.
I won't give any spoilers, but it is basically the story of 2 people trying to find a place where they belong. One is the fictional world of Euthania, which is inspired of South East Asian Mythology, and the other is from Japan.
I highly recommend it.
