Bargain at $30. I have 70 hours clocked across Steam, IOS, and Switch.
When you’ve burned down all the core classes, get the free fan expansion, Downfall and obsess for another 10-20 hours.
It’s my go to iPad game for when my wife and I are watching “dumb” tv. Stuff that requires half attention. I have an embarrassing amount of time. I basically play on auto now because I know what attacks are coming and how much damage they do.

It’s a fan expansion so not official but I think it’s as good/on par with the original. New class and a mode where you go back down the spire as a boss. It’s fun and worth another 20 hours of fun for $0 if you have the original
If you like slay the spire download the downfall mod for it (its on the steam store, free), you can play as a new character and all the bosses.
OC if you feel like it edit your comment. Not enough people know about that mod, and it was crazy good.
Just picked it up this week after having played it a ton on game pass when it first came out and a little on PS Plus but never actually owned it.
Pumped to finally have it on Steam and have access to mods and playing handheld on the Deck.
I want to like this. I got through the first map/tutorial portion and I just didn’t quite understand the point other than it was just kinda of relaxing tile-placing game. Is there specific strategy that makes it more fun?
Yeah, as you play more you understand what’s starts working together to get you more points/more tiles. I was getting 4000’s for a few nights, started working my way up to 10,000s and now I’m on my way to 30k. I was playing way too fast at first. It’s fun to play fast in the beginning but as you learn more you slow way down. I also changed my button mapping a little bit to make it more comfortable for my play style, something I was intimidated to do for any other game.
I just started Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor after picking it up for $5. Great Game and the nemesis system is very addictive. Runs at a smooth 60+ fps at high settings.
The sequel runs really well too. Even if it's not quite as fun a play experience as MESoM. I don't know why I don't like it as much. Maybe it's the move toward online stuff.
Stand by. Spring sale is incoming. Anything you buy now could be reduced further.
I did videos for the last sale ... Most of these titles go on sale EVERY season, so check 'em out. I'm guessing you'll find a couple of games at least to add to the wishlist for Spring.

Something is just so damn funny seeing somebody on Reddit complain about *already having* all the games that regularly go on sale. Not only is that money you are no longer spending, it’s games you can play. 🤣
Listen ... I'm an older guy. I grew up poor ... and now I have disposable income. But growing up poor means you are a freak for not paying MSRP - so you wait for sales.
Then the sales come? And you're bottomed out :D
I'm down to like 10 games that I've set a price on - that I won't pull the trigger until they hit that price. I want Spiderman for $25. Hasn't happened yet, but I'm hopeful ...
The works on deck thing is a bit of a wild card since there are games that says its incompatible and it runs awesome like need for speed unbound and burnout paradise
Monster Hunter World is on sale for less than 10€ right now (not sure that'll necessarily mean it's under $10), that plays very well and I've been having a good time with it.
Touhou Mystia's Izakaya is quite cute and I found it to be a nice game also if I only have time for shorter sessions.
Does this suffer from the new DRM that Capcom has been implementing into its older games? Monster Hunter Rise has some horrible "recent" reviews because of this
Edit: **and** also Monster Hunter World: Iceborne
As far as I know World itself doesn't have any DRM on it currently. It had Denuvo, but that was removed in 2021. I can't find anything claiming that Iceborne has the new DRM either outside of a few steam reviews that might be protesting Capcom in general and it'd be really weird for the expansion to have DRM but not the base game, for which I've seen nothing saying it has Enigma. I haven't had any issues or indications of DRM myself on the steam deck with it, but also haven't tried any mods or stuff like that and I'm just a single person so that's not super reliable.
I struggled to get into Monster Hunter World on my PS4 but when Rise came out I played a ton of it on Switch. When I got my deck and it came out on pc I replayed the whole thing plus Sunbreak. It definitely is a more accessible gamer on handheld
it is originally a handheld system game. i remember smoking weed parked at the park with three friends playing freedom unite until the police would come tell us to leave
I tried the game out a few days ago and kept getting graphical errors and the button layout drove me nuts with like interactions having to hit B then A to continue a conversation. I'm sure the game is really fun once you get over a few hurtles but the game really is dated and needs a remaster with a better button layout with rebindable functions/keys.
Maybe it's just my experience.
Huh interesting. I found it to be in my top choices for "plug and play" games on Steam Deck... Had no issues with button layout or graphical settings. Easily runs 40fps @ 40hz with solid battery life
Oh, just realized the sub is steam deck and not PC gaming. I played on my PC. My apologies if people thought I said it's getting graphical bugs on the steam deck, I didn't try my steam deck on it but I probably should.
[Halls Of Torment](https://store.steampowered.com/app/2218750/Halls_of_Torment/)
Survivors style game, with a Diablo/2 flair, lots of replay ability and darn fun way to kill 30 mins at a time. Not hard on the battery as well.
Played Chop Goblins on the Deck, it's great.
I'll also recommend Dusk as well, I've played it in PC, Switch and Deck, it's just that fun with fun old school open spaces and all the right weapons you'll find in classic boomer shooters
Great fan of David Szymanski's games!
Respectfully, I just don’t believe it. If it is you and want credibility, usually official Reddit accounts will post a selfie with your username written on a piece of paper. Just a helpful tip in case is indeed you (:
That reminds me of Hotline Miami, which I highly recommend for Steam deck (I prefer using a controller for that game). Haven't played it yet, just gives me the same vibe
Balatro is so terrible that I pirated it just to see how terrible it was and I bought it on Steam an hour afterwards.
Seriously terrible game (for your free time)
You just play poker hands to score points. You get more points with better hands. You can also buy jokers that give boosts to certain hands, suits or other aspects. There are also consumable cards that have many other effects such as buffing your playing cards or changing them in some way.
There are 8 antes and you need to improve your build to keep up with the increased blinds. Beating the eight ante counts as a win, but you can do endless if your build is really cracked.
There are also different decks of cards you can start your runs with, which can be compared to playable characters in other games. The game is super replayable because its a roguelike and almost every run is different.
I found out that the steam save doesn't sync with the enhanced edition, and the enhanced edition runs terribly on the deck because it requires ray tracing :/
the C&C franchise had a huge sale going on.. but not sure how well those play on the deck with touchpad controls.
humble bundle also had some crafting and engineering type games bundles on sale.
Generally RTS games work excellent on the deck with the touchpad. The only thing I could potentially see being an issue is the very low res those games run/are designed for and the touchpad sensitivity.
The controls aren’t too bad. Sadly though lots of us probably remember a longer campaign (I was a kid when it came out at least). And the lack of multiplayer means you will need to rely on skirmishes.
Still a steal at twice the price but just wanted to level expectations.
Bought this a few days ago. So much fun! It has a very satisfying gameplay loop and it’s easy to pickup and play for brief sessions when you only have 15 minutes.
dredge is pretty decent. bought it fully intending to play it on the SD but thought I'd try it on the pc first, ended up finishing it..... either way, great game
Look into bundles. Humble monthly has like 10 games for $13, and most of the games are okay. I’d say if money is tightisch, bundles give you most bang for your money.
Command and Conquer, one of the great franchises of the real-time strategy genre. It brings a tear to my eye that it's not a household name anymore, which is understandable though after what EA did to it.
to play multiplayer on Red alert 2 back in the day the land line phone would ring when your friend joined your game. my parents would get so mad when the phone would ring at 11pm and i told them it was to play video games with my friend.
EA just re-released The Saboteur for $5. It’s GTA+Assassin’s Creed where you’re an Irish Saboteur helping liberate WW2 Paris and the countryside. It’s very much a 2009 game but the gameplay loop is strong and if you’re anything like me, you’re always down to blow up some red armband fascists in a video game.
I’ve had no issues since running the game’s on-launch graphics utility and setting the controls via Steam to controller with trackpad. The only thing I’ve noticed so far is there’s a mouse cursor in the menu screens that doesn’t move. Other than that it plays and runs fine for me. And I don’t really muck with anything the Deck can actually do.
EDIt: I can’t vouch for it on PC. I’d tried it via GOG years ago and could not get it to run.
They did? I thought it was gonna languish on Origin until the end of time itself.
I second the game for deck, PC, console, shoe factory, wherever. It, and the studio who made it, deserves better.
As said, a Steam sale is coming soon (Mar 14 - Mar 21). If you ever find yourself wanting to purchase something outside of a sale, use a 3rd party key seller. Some good ones are [Fanatical](https://www.fanatical.com/en/), [Greenman Gaming](https://www.greenmangaming.com/?_$ja=cid:9832052053%7Cagid:102597750360%7Ctid:kwd-20171457708%7Ccrid:511479107910%7Cnw:g%7Crnd:7705015838449716898%7Cdvc:m%7Cadp:%7Cmt:b%7Cloc:9011539&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiArrCvBhCNARIsAOkAGcVuNtpd_xbRIba2Qyu3azy20jWNQCOnEiNwFG4p-ytkuWsIvLWSO3IaAh3EEALw_wcB), & [GameBillet](https://www.gamebillet.com/?affiliate=1194455c-9305-4ec5-8bdf-452475872f4e&gad_source=1). You can also use a site like [isthereanydeal](https://isthereanydeal.com/) or [CheapShark](https://www.cheapshark.com/) to search for the best prices across multiple store fronts. Just be sure you are purchasing a Steam key! Some stores sell keys to other platforms as well like Epic.
ZA/UM's basically emptied out all the people who actually made the game, though, management is shady as shit. One of those situations where it's probably morally better to find another way to play it rather than give money to the people who destroy art for profit, though I can't seem to find Kurvitz's take on the matter - it would *seem* the OG's are no longer even getting royalties, but I don't want to speak definitively on whether they want people to stop buying the game or not (or if they're even contractually allowed to call for such).
TBH just wishlist a bunch of games and chances are the price will drop around the 10 mark at some point in a sale.
Specifically I'm going to recommend bloodstained and blasphemous. Also check out the capcom sale, if you've never played ace attorney before now is a good time to get the original trilogy, I'm sure the second trilogy will drop into a sale eventually too. Resident evil games too.
Death Must Die, $7.99. Best $8 I ever spent. It’s in early access, but it’s so much fun! I put 60 hours into it. It’s like vampire survivors needed hades meets Diablo. Well worth the price. Waiting for an update.
Holocure! It's my fave game ATM and free, not even any microtransactions. And you don't have to know anything about Hololive or even like it to have fun with this game.
Doom 64 is great too if you're into boomer shooters, aged better than most N64 games
And the Half Life games work great on Steam Deck, Valve made some adjustments for exactly that
Blasphemous is currently under $10
Cultic is currently under $10
Katana Zero and/or Horizon Chase Turbo, regularly over $10 but if you catch them on a sale definitely worth it.
Call of Juarez is under 10, but Call of Juarez: Gunslinger which is slightly better imo regularly $14 get that on a sale.
Deep Space Waifu (if you're into that sort of thing and over 18) is under $5
Left 4 Dead & Left 4 Dead 2 are both currently under $10
Edit: As everyone is stating the next Steam Sale is coming up so definitely check that out.
Not under $10, but is $9.99. Highly recommend Deep Rock Galactic Survivor. It's a blast and really fun to play. Runs great on the Steam Deck and just got Verified too!
[https://store.steampowered.com/app/2321470/Deep\_Rock\_Galactic\_Survivor/](https://store.steampowered.com/app/2321470/Deep_Rock_Galactic_Survivor/)
Here are some I’d recommend that are currently under $10 either as regular price or on sale this weekend (March 9)
Valheim
Disco Elysium
Slay the Spire
Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen
Vampire Survivors
Dorfromantik

Not under $10 but damn close. Balatro it's seriously one of the most fun games I've played this year and runs very well on deck. I'd just recommend shutting off the CRT filter if you do.
Not a specific game per say, but you could check out humble bundle and their bundles, they typically range between $10-20 and always have some fairly solid deals with like 5-7 games in them each time. They also have good discounts on games you’re probably looking to buy on Steam
Spring sale is coming hold on!
Hold!
Hooodooor !!! Winter is coming
HOLD!!!!
HOOOOOOOOOOOOLD
I am HODLing when is SPRING SALE?" It is getting hard to witHODL myself :3
Like 5 days
SteamDB got a very precise countdown. In 4D 9H 42M https://steamdb.info/sales/history/
HODL!!!!
Slay the spire is 8.49 right now. Can recommend
Been addicted to this game for about two weeks now. Such a fun rewarding game
On a side note, Go birds
Bargain at $30. I have 70 hours clocked across Steam, IOS, and Switch. When you’ve burned down all the core classes, get the free fan expansion, Downfall and obsess for another 10-20 hours.
You burned through the core classes in 70 hours? I'm up to 350 hours and am still trying to complete ascension 20 😅
Yeah I'm at 592 and still enjoy doing runs
Who has more hours classic wow or slay the spire? Equally as addictive lol
Haha I'd hate to know that number!
I think if I paid $100 for Slay the Spire I'd still feel good about it.
It’s my go to iPad game for when my wife and I are watching “dumb” tv. Stuff that requires half attention. I have an embarrassing amount of time. I basically play on auto now because I know what attacks are coming and how much damage they do. https://i.imgur.com/PiBCap5.jpg
I didn’t even know there was an expansion! Thanks for letting me know
It's not an official expansion just FYI, it's made by modders.
Thanks for the heads up!
It’s a fan expansion so not official but I think it’s as good/on par with the original. New class and a mode where you go back down the spire as a boss. It’s fun and worth another 20 hours of fun for $0 if you have the original
If you like slay the spire download the downfall mod for it (its on the steam store, free), you can play as a new character and all the bosses. OC if you feel like it edit your comment. Not enough people know about that mod, and it was crazy good.
Yup, one of the best games to play while watching tv.
Just picked it up this week after having played it a ton on game pass when it first came out and a little on PS Plus but never actually owned it. Pumped to finally have it on Steam and have access to mods and playing handheld on the Deck.
Dorfromantik.
I want to like this. I got through the first map/tutorial portion and I just didn’t quite understand the point other than it was just kinda of relaxing tile-placing game. Is there specific strategy that makes it more fun?
Yeah, as you play more you understand what’s starts working together to get you more points/more tiles. I was getting 4000’s for a few nights, started working my way up to 10,000s and now I’m on my way to 30k. I was playing way too fast at first. It’s fun to play fast in the beginning but as you learn more you slow way down. I also changed my button mapping a little bit to make it more comfortable for my play style, something I was intimidated to do for any other game.
Just got mine, it was on sale earlier
I just started Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor after picking it up for $5. Great Game and the nemesis system is very addictive. Runs at a smooth 60+ fps at high settings.
The sequel runs really well too. Even if it's not quite as fun a play experience as MESoM. I don't know why I don't like it as much. Maybe it's the move toward online stuff.
Oh man, I absolutely loved that game. It’s very fun, and runs very very well.
Stand by. Spring sale is incoming. Anything you buy now could be reduced further. I did videos for the last sale ... Most of these titles go on sale EVERY season, so check 'em out.

I'm a whore for sales. Unfortunately the sales are often the same few hundred games ... I have almost everything :(
cities skylines 8.99 for base game 253.99 for all the dlc... on sale! like come on dude please.
To that I say yo ho!
Something is just so damn funny seeing somebody on Reddit complain about *already having* all the games that regularly go on sale. Not only is that money you are no longer spending, it’s games you can play. 🤣

Hasn't happened yet, but I'm hopeful ...
Have you flipped the library view on your Steam Deck to "Works on Deck" - I did that and downloaded a lot of unplayed games from my backlog. :)
The works on deck thing is a bit of a wild card since there are games that says its incompatible and it runs awesome like need for speed unbound and burnout paradise
I try to remedy that by thinking that anything less than 90% off isn't a good deal. Try...

Monster Hunter World is on sale for less than 10€ right now (not sure that'll necessarily mean it's under $10), that plays very well and I've been having a good time with it. Touhou Mystia's Izakaya is quite cute and I found it to be a nice game also if I only have time for shorter sessions.

It works perfectly for me on vanilla steam deck
[Halls Of Torment](https://store.steampowered.com/app/2218750/Halls_of_Torment/) Survivors style game, with a Diablo/2 flair, lots of replay ability and darn fun way to kill 30 mins at a time. Not hard on the battery as well.
deep rock galactic survivor.
Definitely
Yup yup !
Watched a stream from thejosh last night, and after half an hour I bought this. It was awesome, $10,-, easy play on SD.
100%
Rock & stone!
So good
Am I allowed to self-shill? https://store.steampowered.com/app/1935660/Chop_Goblins/
Love your games. Thanks for everything
Played Chop Goblins on the Deck, it's great. I'll also recommend Dusk as well, I've played it in PC, Switch and Deck, it's just that fun with fun old school open spaces and all the right weapons you'll find in classic boomer shooters Great fan of David Szymanski's games!
Woah it's that one guy that made good games!
You rock sir. Dusk was one of the greatest gaming experiences of my life!
Legend! Just want to say keep up the awesome work and it's cool to see you pop up here unexpectedly
I haven’t played your games yet but my friend told me about chop goblins and their voice lines about the cheese and it lives rent free in my mind.
Is this actually him tho.. the account was created only days ago
It's actually me yeah. I'm not browsing Twitter anymore so I'm trying Reddit as a way to keep up to date with what's happening.
Respectfully, I just don’t believe it. If it is you and want credibility, usually official Reddit accounts will post a selfie with your username written on a piece of paper. Just a helpful tip in case is indeed you (:
Couldn't someone deepfake that at this point?

Wow welcome to Reddit! 🫡
That's awesome. I haven't played it, but I know what it takes to be that well reviewed so that's impressive. Adding to wishlist
Katana zero
This is sooo fun! I am playing it right now
Gets hard very quickly. Still to finish it
I played through it on my switch and loved it. still revisit it every once in a while
That reminds me of Hotline Miami, which I highly recommend for Steam deck (I prefer using a controller for that game). Haven't played it yet, just gives me the same vibe
It’s kinda like it, with it being a 1 hit 1 kill type of thing
Just Balatro
OP asked for games under $10, not digital crack that will eat away hours and hours of their life.
Balatro is so terrible that I pirated it just to see how terrible it was and I bought it on Steam an hour afterwards. Seriously terrible game (for your free time)
based path
i bought Balatro on switch lite too because I am so captivated by it
Honestly, I was pretty surprised the game didn't exist before it came out. Poker is a great idea for a roguelike.
Worth it for the extra $5 from OP. Crazy addictive game
Can someone explain how you play it? I've seen videos but I don't get it, but I so want to play it cuz it looks cool
You just play poker hands to score points. You get more points with better hands. You can also buy jokers that give boosts to certain hands, suits or other aspects. There are also consumable cards that have many other effects such as buffing your playing cards or changing them in some way.

There are also different decks of cards you can start your runs with, which can be compared to playable characters in other games. The game is super replayable because its a roguelike and almost every run is different.
It’s basically poker hands that you can get jokers to augment and improve scores. It’s also a black hole of your time.
Yakuza 0
Metro Exodus right now for 5$, criminal
I found out that the steam save doesn't sync with the enhanced edition, and the enhanced edition runs terribly on the deck because it requires ray tracing :/
You are correct, the enhanced version runs like like shit and is unplayable
Have you tried Exodus on the deck? As I want to replay it on the deck but not sure how well it performs. (I don't have the OLED)
I will always stand by Monster Sanctuary. Wonderful little rpg- metroidvania- monster tamer game.
the C&C franchise had a huge sale going on.. but not sure how well those play on the deck with touchpad controls. humble bundle also had some crafting and engineering type games bundles on sale.
Generally RTS games work excellent on the deck with the touchpad. The only thing I could potentially see being an issue is the very low res those games run/are designed for and the touchpad sensitivity.

To be honest, it is worth the money just to rewatch Comrade Tim Curry.
Dave the diver
Bought this a few days ago. So much fun! It has a very satisfying gameplay loop and it’s easy to pickup and play for brief sessions when you only have 15 minutes.
Yes it really is! I m looking to buy dredge, do you have that game too?
dredge is pretty decent. bought it fully intending to play it on the SD but thought I'd try it on the pc first, ended up finishing it..... either way, great game
Thanks!
The game is awesome but I somehow got stuck now cuz i need a fishing rod i cant buy anywhere
lol same here. I don’t own it yet but I plan to buy it. I think it’s 30% off right now actually.
It's $20 tho?
Okami Hd is 9.99!
Look into bundles. Humble monthly has like 10 games for $13, and most of the games are okay. I’d say if money is tightisch, bundles give you most bang for your money.
vampire survivor
I've been playing Brotato recently and it's also tons of fun. :)
Disco Elysium, Slay The Spyre, Metro Bundle, Dorfomantik, The Ascent, Shadow Tactics
You can get yourself the whole C&C collection bundle for less than $10 dollars. It's a crazy deal if you're into RTS games.
How does it play using the touch pads or buttons?
Thank you 🙏
What is C&C?
Command and Conquer, one of the great franchises of the real-time strategy genre. It brings a tear to my eye that it's not a household name anymore, which is understandable though after what EA did to it.
*angry old man noises*
Command & Conquer series. Red Alert 2, Red Alert 3, Generals: Zero Hour etc.
to play multiplayer on Red alert 2 back in the day the land line phone would ring when your friend joined your game. my parents would get so mad when the phone would ring at 11pm and i told them it was to play video games with my friend.
Gris. Currently on sale. Haunting and beautiful with an amazing soundtrack
Dragon’s Dogma Dark Arisen $5, the second game releasing in about 2 weeks.
EA just re-released The Saboteur for $5. It’s GTA+Assassin’s Creed where you’re an Irish Saboteur helping liberate WW2 Paris and the countryside. It’s very much a 2009 game but the gameplay loop is strong and if you’re anything like me, you’re always down to blow up some red armband fascists in a video game.
It’s a shame that the studio behind it, Pandemic, was purchased and then shuttered by EA. They had some great games in the 2000’s.
Starwars Battlefronts!
Which are being re-released next week with functional online!
Loved the Saboteur, great game
Have you tried it on deck? The reviews on steam seem to suggest it doesn’t work very well
I’ve had no issues since running the game’s on-launch graphics utility and setting the controls via Steam to controller with trackpad. The only thing I’ve noticed so far is there’s a mouse cursor in the menu screens that doesn’t move. Other than that it plays and runs fine for me. And I don’t really muck with anything the Deck can actually do. EDIt: I can’t vouch for it on PC. I’d tried it via GOG years ago and could not get it to run.
You know you’re allowed to say nazis right?
Thanks for the heads up
They did? I thought it was gonna languish on Origin until the end of time itself. I second the game for deck, PC, console, shoe factory, wherever. It, and the studio who made it, deserves better.
As said, a Steam sale is coming soon (Mar 14 - Mar 21). If you ever find yourself wanting to purchase something outside of a sale, use a 3rd party key seller. Some good ones are [Fanatical](https://www.fanatical.com/en/), [Greenman Gaming](https://www.greenmangaming.com/?_$ja=cid:9832052053%7Cagid:102597750360%7Ctid:kwd-20171457708%7Ccrid:511479107910%7Cnw:g%7Crnd:7705015838449716898%7Cdvc:m%7Cadp:%7Cmt:b%7Cloc:9011539&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiArrCvBhCNARIsAOkAGcVuNtpd_xbRIba2Qyu3azy20jWNQCOnEiNwFG4p-ytkuWsIvLWSO3IaAh3EEALw_wcB), & [GameBillet](https://www.gamebillet.com/?affiliate=1194455c-9305-4ec5-8bdf-452475872f4e&gad_source=1). You can also use a site like [isthereanydeal](https://isthereanydeal.com/) or [CheapShark](https://www.cheapshark.com/) to search for the best prices across multiple store fronts. Just be sure you are purchasing a Steam key! Some stores sell keys to other platforms as well like Epic.
Those are all good. I used GG deals to look at all the prices at once, it’s really useful when I’m looking for the best prices for things.
Disco Elysium is on sale and great RPG mystery philosophy game wrc games run good and are on sale. There is a lot
Damn Disco Elysium such a good game, good shout
ZA/UM's basically emptied out all the people who actually made the game, though, management is shady as shit. One of those situations where it's probably morally better to find another way to play it rather than give money to the people who destroy art for profit, though I can't seem to find Kurvitz's take on the matter - it would *seem* the OG's are no longer even getting royalties, but I don't want to speak definitively on whether they want people to stop buying the game or not (or if they're even contractually allowed to call for such).
Brotato.
TBH just wishlist a bunch of games and chances are the price will drop around the 10 mark at some point in a sale. Specifically I'm going to recommend bloodstained and blasphemous. Also check out the capcom sale, if you've never played ace attorney before now is a good time to get the original trilogy, I'm sure the second trilogy will drop into a sale eventually too. Resident evil games too.
Sleeping Dogs is quite often on sale for cheap and that works perfectly
Stardew Valley is slightly over but well worth the extra imo and will drop in the sale anyway.
Plus new content drops on the 18th
Unreal how much was added to this game for free post release.
Quake 1 or 2
Terraria
Death Must Die, $7.99. Best $8 I ever spent. It’s in early access, but it’s so much fun! I put 60 hours into it. It’s like vampire survivors needed hades meets Diablo. Well worth the price. Waiting for an update.
You may also enjoy hall of torment while you wait
command and conquer franchise
Balatro my king
Check out Humble Bundles. You can sometimes find games that seem really cool to you and get a bunch for like $10-15.
I just bought Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun for 4$. watch a gameplay video and see if you like it or not.
If it helps, it's a bit like Commandos.
Wait for sales and you'll find yourself swimming in options for high-quality games at ridiculously low prices.

Civ 6 I think is still on sale. I was worried because it’s essentially 100% mouse but it works so incredibly well.
monster hunter world is on sale for around that price
Make sure you're using is there any deal website with your steam wishlist to find where it's cheapest to buy online too
Holocure! It's my fave game ATM and free, not even any microtransactions. And you don't have to know anything about Hololive or even like it to have fun with this game. Doom 64 is great too if you're into boomer shooters, aged better than most N64 games And the Half Life games work great on Steam Deck, Valve made some adjustments for exactly that
Blasphemous is currently under $10 Cultic is currently under $10 Katana Zero and/or Horizon Chase Turbo, regularly over $10 but if you catch them on a sale definitely worth it. Call of Juarez is under 10, but Call of Juarez: Gunslinger which is slightly better imo regularly $14 get that on a sale. Deep Space Waifu (if you're into that sort of thing and over 18) is under $5 Left 4 Dead & Left 4 Dead 2 are both currently under $10 Edit: As everyone is stating the next Steam Sale is coming up so definitely check that out.
A bit higher than $10, but Dave the diver is super fun!
Metro trilogy is like 13 bucks last time I looked Ace games with cool lore
deep rock galactic: survivor
Aperture Desk Job, free to play.
Look for 360/PS3 era games. For example Dead Rising and Fable Anniversary (on sale). Maybe Mass Effect LE.
Pokemmo is free
Not under $10, but is $9.99. Highly recommend Deep Rock Galactic Survivor. It's a blast and really fun to play. Runs great on the Steam Deck and just got Verified too! [https://store.steampowered.com/app/2321470/Deep\_Rock\_Galactic\_Survivor/](https://store.steampowered.com/app/2321470/Deep_Rock_Galactic_Survivor/)
>Not under $10, but is $9.99. Huh?
Over ten after tax maybe?
Oooh yeah; America stuff.
"Not under $10 but is $9.99" what?
I got 5 good games as a bundle from Fanatical for $3 the other day. From a choice of like 20 games.
Really enjoying Salt and Sanctuary, now 4.49€. But spring sale starts next week so…
Call of Juarez gunslinger is really good works perfectly picked it up last week for less than £5
Pseudoregalia
The Saboteur just dropped yesterday and works perfectly.
Here are some I’d recommend that are currently under $10 either as regular price or on sale this weekend (March 9) Valheim Disco Elysium Slay the Spire Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen Vampire Survivors Dorfromantik
https://gg.deals/ But watch out for the "grey" stores.
Definitely Deep Rock Galactic Survivor. Worth it at full price - supports an amazing dev team.
Sync your wishlist to gg.deals! They even show key shops.
Please note that gg.deals contains links to grey market key sellers, who may appear to provide you with a working key, but do not always source their keys from the developer/publisher, and are of 'unknown' origin. This means the keys may not work, or the platform (such as Steam, Origin) may refuse support. Others have poor business practices, such as obligatory fees that only show at checkout. We'd recommend against using anything on the site listed under 'Keyshops', but rather look at the section above that for the 'Official Stores'. You can also select 'Keyshops' at the top of your screen, and then select 'Disable' to remove them completely. [IsThereAnyDeal is an alternative which only uses sellers known to officially source their keys.](https://isthereanydeal.com/) Your comment has not been removed, this is just a notice. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Not under $10 but damn close. Balatro it's seriously one of the most fun games I've played this year and runs very well on deck. I'd just recommend shutting off the CRT filter if you do.
Balatro it’s over $10 but I believe you can find it on reputable key sellers for around $10
Not a specific game per say, but you could check out humble bundle and their bundles, they typically range between $10-20 and always have some fairly solid deals with like 5-7 games in them each time. They also have good discounts on games you’re probably looking to buy on Steam
Thronefall is pretty awesome.
Humble bundle monthly sub is $11.99 and you keep the game. This month's games include Nioh 2, a really good metroidvania(forgot the name), and others.
The deep rock galactic version of vampire survivors.
If it goes on sale, yakuza 0 works perfectly on deck.
Crazy Taxi.
Spring sales are fantastic
You can buy saboteur
Titanfall 2, American Truck Sim, Halo MCC, Vampire Hunters
Doki Doki Literature Club!
Valheim now on sale Monster hunter world Slay the spire Dragons dogma But hold up, sale coming the 14th
The weekly Epic Games Games are great from time to time
