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!

Overcooked! 2 $6.24 (75% off, matching the all-time low)

Chaotic co-op cooking, local or online. Complete restaurant orders quickly in increasingly absurd scenarios. Cook in a haunted kitchen, above a mineshaft, in the middle of the highway, or on a burning hot air balloon that crashes into another restaurant! This is the kind of game that people joke will ruin friendships.

I got overcooked 1. It was over difficult and felt too much like work and not fun like a game should be. Maybe 2 is better but I’ve no incentive to try it out.

Maybe you're just not the type of person for that type of game. I've spent lots of hours playing it with m girlfriend. Sometimes it's fun, often it's frustrating and I just can't be motivated to try and improve my efficiency to get that third or fourth star in many of the levels. It's fine that way.

Overcooked 2 has one of those perfect gaming moments: the balloon crashes into a another restaurant, and instead of a cutscene, we just start getting orders off a different menu. It really sets the tone for the game.

It's such a cool moment. It really slapped me on the knee. Most memorable part of the game.
