While other digital storefronts have been running their spooky sales for the past week or two, Steam has just jumped on the horror train and kicked off its Halloween Sale 2018. That means lots of great PC games are available for sizable discounts between now and November 1. To help cut through the clutter, we've selected some of the best games that got the deepest discounts. Here's what we found.
If it's horror games you're looking for, you have plenty of options. The online multiplayer game Friday the 13th: The Game and the creepy underwater lab exploration game Soma are on sale for $6 each. Call of Cthulhu, which tests your character's sanity as he investigates the mysteries and cosmic horrors surrounding the death of a family, is on sale for $41. And Salt and Sanctuary, often referred to as a side-scrolling Dark Souls, is on sale for $9.
In non-horror news, the fast-paced roguelike Dead Cells is down to $20, while the bug kingdom-set game Hollow Knight is discounted to $10. You can fight off extra-terrestrial shapeshifters in Prey for $15 or explore an open-world pinball world in Yoku's Island Express. And if you have fond memories of playing Ninja Gaiden, don't miss out on The Messenger for $15.
