Initial scrolling of the Steam Summer Sale seems pretty lackluster, but digging through the comments sections in other threads, a few gems have stood out, and it doesn't appear we have a thread dedicated to this yet, so post what you think are the best deals here!

Not mandatory ofc, but it'd be helpful if...

One game per top level post, so comments stemming from it are focused on on just it.
Hyperlink the game title to its Store Page
Include both the normal and sale price / %off
Include a short blurb about the game - if it's one you've played before, what did you like about it? If you're diving in blind, what grabbed your attention?

Good hunt'n!

Fury Unleashed 2,92€ instead of 19,50€.

Metroidvania with roguelike elements and metaprogression. Graphics are timeless (the game plays inside of a comic book, which is a nice change), very tight gameplay, tons of weapons and cool bosses.

Smooth working 2-Player-Coop!

Fury Unleashed is charming as hell, but it's the buttery smooth controls that make it so replayable.

As an old-school platform and bullet hell player, I don't play many modern platform or bullet hell games, because I've been spoiled by tight controls from the 8-bit era, and so many modern games don't match the responsiveness.

But I found Fury Unleashed incredibly accessible, mostly because the controls are so responsive.
