Steam recently revised its regional pricing in many countries around the World, this has effectively made many games unaffordable for some people. So, sales like these are the best time to get some games for cheap. I also advise checking game prices at SteamDB to learn whether a current discount it is a historical low price on Steam. IsThereAnyDeal is a good site to check prices on third-party game sellers.

A few of these games were previously given away on Steam, Epic Games, GOG, etc., so check your libraries to see if you already own them. Before buying a game, check whether it has a bundle that lets you complete your collection, if you own one or more items in it, you may get a better price for it.
