Before the Autumn Steam Sale had even started we knew we'd have to craft multiple articles to showcase the best of what the sale has to offer, but one thing became apparent as I browsed; I knew we needed to feature all the gorgeous cinematic stories that are being practically given away during the sale. So, if you're a lover of all games filled to the brim with fantastic aesthetics, well-crafted stories, heart-wrenching moments, and some truly gorgeous graphics and soundtracks, then you're in the right place. Even though we love adrenaline-packed PvP games, and will always kick our feet up with a good Co-Op game and have a laugh, when we want our hearts to be ripped out, or we want to feel like we're about to fall off the edge of our seat, the games below are the ones who've delivered that to us. Some of these games are recent releases from this year, others have been on your Wishlist way too long and there's no better excuse to pick them up than during an awesome Steam Sale.
For your convenience, we've included the Price and Steam link to all the games, as well as the developer's Twitter when and where available, so make sure you check that out as if you love one game from them, it's likely they have an inventory of things you'd enjoy, or have another game in the works, and the best way to support it is by monitoring development on Social Media.
Tell us in the comments below what you're finally adding to your Steam List, or share any games that we've missed that you feel deserves an extra special mention! Also, if any links are broken or incorrect, just tell us and we'll get them fixed ASAP. Please bear in mind as you browse that while there may be plenty of other titles that deserve to be on the list, we've only included games that offer a 30% discount or higher and ones we've heard genuinely good things from multiple people in our community, or have enjoyed playing them ourselves.
