The Best Bargains From Steam's Halloween Sale

This week is the spookiest of them all, and Steam's celebrating the best way it knows how — with a delightfully creepy Halloween Sale! There's plenty of games to choose from, but we've found the best bargains of the lot.

The sale runs from now until 4am AEDT on November 2, so you'll want to get a move on if you spot a must-have deal. While there's plenty of bargains to be had under the $20 mark, there's also some genuinely good deals on the premium side of things. Survival horror Man of Medan is a juicy $33.46, the brilliant Dusk is $21.71 and the actually-very-good Call of Cthulhu is $27.47.

Dusk is a throwback first-person shooter that released earlier this year. Comparing it with another shooter, Strafe, shows that one of the most important factors in recapturing classic FPS magic is memorable level design.
