Grab Mortal Sin, Ultrakill, And Death Stranding, Three Of My Favorite Games, For $7.25 Each
Alongside each other, Mortal Sin, Ultrakill, and Death Stranding: Director’s Cut are quite dissimilar. However, as a trio, they’re some of my most-played Steam games. As someone who has happily bought all three at full price, seeing them at a fraction of retail makes me excited that new pairs of eyes will get to experience these titles for the first time. And if you don’t want to miss out any longer, well, now’s your chance.
Let’s start with the hugely popular Ultrakill, which is still one of the best FPS games to play right now despite being in early access. If Devil May Cry and Quake were combined into one strangely original experience, sprinkled with mythology and Dante’s Inferno (the story, not the game), Ultrakill is what you would get. Every stage is packed with gorily brilliant action that, while not requiring quick reflexes and arsenal-switching combos, certainly rewards you for those things.
Ultrakill is easily one of the most stylish games I’ve ever played, and it’s great for those looking for an easy-to-learn, hard-to-master game that can be beaten with ease but requires learning skills and messing with your loadout for the perfect rankings. We’re still waiting for Layer 9, the final layer of the game before its 1.0 release, but don’t let that dissuade you. It is one of the greatest indies to bless Steam, and for $7.25, it’s an absolute bargain.

For what many people boil down to a walking simulator, where you effectively deliver packages and cargo, it’s surprisingly unique in its mechanics. It constantly asks you to manage your inventory, and you’ll need to prepare for dangerous weather called Timefall while avoiding BTs, monsters that find you if you get too close. And honestly, the animation as they approach you is terrifying. If you’re looking for a story-led experience, this one is it.
Lastly, we have Mortal Sin, a roguelite that, despite being the lesser-known of the three, deserves far more praise and players. You select one of the various classes and take on a selection of levels as you rip apart hordes of monsters and collect increasingly powerful loot. Make sure to keep an eye on your equipment’s durability, though--one wrong move, and you’ll be weaker than ever. Don’t let the strange visual design fool you. This is an easy game to lose time to, with the perfect "‘"one more game"’" feeling that the best roguelites try to capture.
I’d recommend these games at full price, easily. However, with the Fanatical Summer Superstars bundle, they’re only $7.25 / £7.25 each, making the three games just $21.75 / £21.75 in total. Considering Ultrakill alone is worth $30, it’s absolutely worth paying for while it’s this cheap. You’re basically getting endless hours of fun for a ridiculously low price. And I still don’t envy you for being patient–I’m still happy, even though I paid the full retail cost. There are also plenty of other games in the bundle, which you can find here.
