Steam Summer “Picnic” Sale is here for 2016, and we have to say, it’s a little disappointing. With no flash sales and no daily deals, the sense of discovery, the anticipation that caused you to make those impulse purchases are gone. Also, the titles are not expected to go any cheaper than they are right now, so it will be somewhat tougher to hoard up all those games we won’t play for the next 2 years.
Still, Lord Gaben hasn’t forsaken us completely, and something good will come out of this. You no longer have to worry about missing the perfect deal for you, because most of the games will remain on sale till July 4th. So anyone who wants to make sure that they don’t end up spending too much (like that’s ever gonna happen), can browse at their leisure and decide what they want. However, some developers have already made their titles available on sale for a limited period of time, so make sure you the first thing you check out when you visit the game’s store page is the date when its discount ends. This will give you ample time to choose.
Here are some of what we feel are the best deals that you can grab on the Steam Store.
Doom (40% off) – INR 1799/-
