Seven Gamers' Top Picks from the Steam Summer Sale 2024: A £10 Investment in Gaming Joy

The Steam Summer Sale of 2024 has brought numerous discounts on various video games, making it an ideal time for gamers to expand their collections. In this article, we will discuss some of the best deals from the sale that our team intends to take advantage of with their last tenner.

Brendan plans to spend his £7.50 on Dome Keeper, a tower defense game that he has had his eye on for quite some time. With some change left over, he is looking forward to enjoying this game during the sale period.

Ed will be spending his tenner on Trepang 2 and making use of the Steam credit he earned from selling CS:GO crates. He is excited about this violent and senseless game, which is now available at a significant discount.

Edwin intends to buy Chinese RPG Tale Of Wuxia and ẤV: Rings of Saturn with his budget. With localisation issues being a minor concern, he will have some change left over after making these purchases.

James plans to spend his tenner on The Entropy Centre, Titan Chaser, and Middle Earth: Shadow of War. These games offer a variety of genres and experiences that cater to both atmospheric kaiju wrangling and non-violent gameplay.

Nic will be using her budget on Middle Earth: Shadow Of War and Shadow Tactics: Blades Of The Shogun - Aiko's Choice. She is particularly excited about the orc-characterising Nemesis System in Middle Earth: Shadow of War, which adds a unique twist to the gameplay experience.

Ollie suggests buying The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Middle-Earth: Shadow Of War, FTL, Sid Meier's Pirates!, XCOM 2, Portal 2 and Civilization VI with his tenner and some extra money from his Steam Wallet. These games offer a diverse range of genres and experiences that cater to various gaming preferences.

Jeremy intends to spend his budget on Chasing Static, Guard Duty, and Vampire Survivors. He is particularly drawn to the 2D pixel survival horror genre represented by Lamentum, which he has been wishlisting for ages now.

Kiera recommends Mass Effect Legendary Edition, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and suggests getting the other two Witcher games as well for a total of £12.48. She believes that these games offer an immersive and engaging experience that is worth the investment.

  • Fallacies (95%)
    The author makes several statements without explicitly stating a fallacy. However, there are a few instances of informal fallacies and an appeal to authority. The author states 'For many of us, summer can get just too hot to go outside and have fun.' This is a hasty generalization as not everyone experiences summer as being too hot or dislikes going outside. The author also states 'Baldur’s Gate 3 admittedly doesn’t look this sharp on the Steam Deck, but it plays really well.' This is an appeal to emotion and a false dilemma fallacy as the author implies that because the game doesn't look good on one platform, it must be acceptable to have poor graphics if the game plays well. The author also states 'Verge Deals on X / Join more than 50,000 followers and keep up with the best daily tech deals with @vergedeals.' This is a fallacious appeal to authority as following Verge Deals does not guarantee finding the best tech deals. Despite these fallacies, the article contains valuable information about discounted games and products during Steam's Summer Sale.

    The article contains editorializing and selective reporting. The author expresses his personal opinions and preferences throughout the article, making it clear that he is not providing objective information. He also only reports details that support his position (the games chosen by each person and their prices), while omitting any information that might contradict it or provide a different perspective.
    • It's the Steam Summer Sale 2024!
    • Here's how we're all spending that tenner in the sale.
    • Brendan: A whole ten English pounds. Boy, oh boy.
    • Ed: Fantastic, ten squid that I can add to the Steam credit I earned from selling hundreds of CS:GO crates individually over the course of two grueling hours.
  • Fallacies (80%)
    The author uses informal fallacy of appeal to popularity in the form of anecdotes from various individuals about their purchases during the Steam Summer Sale. Each individual shares their personal experience and justification for spending their ten pounds on specific games.
    • ] It's that time of the year again. You know the one. [
    • Brendan: A whole ten English pounds. Boy, oh boy.
    • Ed: Fantastic, ten squid that I can add to the Steam credit I earned from selling hundreds of CS:GO crates individually over the course of two grueling hours.
    • Edwin: Got a selection of good things on sale, stranger! Specifically, things I’ve had my eye on but have been fearful about committing to for various reasons:
    • James: I got you, Edwin. Slightly less than a tenner will get you Portal-ish time bending puzzler The Entropy Centre, atmospheric (but non-violent) kaiju wrangler Titan Chaser, and Middle Earth: Shadow of War.
    • Nic: Perpetually orc-pilled as I am, I’d have to grab Middle Earth: Shadow Of War for a cool 95% off, or less that 20% of the budget.
