Metro: Last Light Redux and four more critically acclaimed games have recently been treated to major discounts on Steam that saw them drop below $3 each. These newly launched Steam deals are scheduled to end between October 7 and October 16, depending on the offer.
While Steam hosts comprehensive sales events on a monthly basis, no such promotion is currently taking place. Instead, these deals are all part of minor promos that are unrelated to one another, with a single exception.
Splinter Cell, XCOM, and More Games Drop Below $3 on Steam
The offers themselves include extremely steep discounts on XCOM: Enemy Unknown, Metro 2033 Redux, Metro: Last Light Redux, Shapez, and Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell. All of these titles range from "Very" to "Overwhelmingly Positive" reviews on Steam, based on tens of thousands of player ratings, in addition to boasting high levels of critical acclaim. The enhanced editions of the first two Metro games are among the cheapest of this newly discounted lot, as they are currently available at 90% off, meaning they have once again dropped to their historically low price of $1.99 a pop. This particular pair of offers is available until Tuesday, October 8.

$1.99 is also the current price of Shapez, an abstract automation game about building and managing increasingly more complex factories on an infinitely expanding map. Developed by Tobias Springer, Shapez has the highest Steam user rating of this recently discounted group, boasting over 11,000 "Overwhelmingly Positive" player reviews. Its 80% discount will be available until October 14.
Meanwhile, the Steam version of the original Splinter Cell is presently 75% off, having thus once again dropped to its historically low price of $2.49 on Valve's storefront. Seeing how its remake still doesn't appear to be close to hitting the market, PC gamers who are eager to finally experience the seminal first entry in the franchise can now at least do so without breaking the bank by jumping on this offer. The ongoing Splinter Cell discount will remain available until October 16.
Another iconic title that can currently be picked up for dirt cheap is XCOM: Enemy Unknown. Firaxis's 2012 XCOM reboot has been widely touted as one of the best strategy games of the 2010s, as underlined by the fact that it even has a handful of awards to its name. The most high-profile of that lot is the Best Strategy Game accolade that it won during the ninth edition of the BAFTA Games Awards in 2013. XCOM: Enemy Unknown is presently 90% off and can hence be purchased for $2.99 until Monday, October 7.
Steam is a digital video game storefront and program developed by Valve that allows gamers to purchase, play, and mod their titles all through one convenient program.
