We have all felt disappointed at some point spending 60 euros or more on a “triple A” title that promised a lot in its trailers. And, quite the opposite. Spend a few euros on an indie game, or even an old one and think that it can’t be possible to have paid so little for so many hours of fun. Here we leave you a few ideas so that you can enjoy for a long time spending the minimum amount of money possible .
Geometry Dash
For less than 4 euros, Geometry Dash offers you a dangerous platform game , with great music for you to follow the rhythm of the levels . In true Super Mario Maker style , you will also be able to create your own worlds, share them and challenge your friends. Just being able to access the entire collection of community – created levels makes Geometry Dash worth it. A challenging title for all those who enjoy games like Celeste.
Cities Skylines
Released in 2015, Cities Skylines is considered one of the best city simulators around, earning even higher ratings than Sim City . In fact, this title came about thanks to the failure of SimCity in 2013.
In Cities Skylines there are no limits to creativity . You can make the city you want. You can start with the base game , which is ridiculously priced, and later buy some expansions if you feel like it. It is a truly spectacular title that will make you think that you have paid very little money for it. YouTube is full of videos with cities full of life, replicas of cities that we all know and tutorials to get the most out of the game. Cities Skylines is one of those video games that can never be missing from your Steam collection .
stardew valley
What can be said about this title that hasn’t already been said? Eric Barone is the director, producer, designer, artist, writer, composer and programmer of this work. Inspired by Harvest Moon , the Californian decided to produce a video game at home after finishing his programming studies at the University of Washington. The result is one of the most elaborate games in history , since every detail is worked with great care. Released in 2017, Stardew Valley has made its way to multiple platforms and has never stopped receiving updates untilthe date. Its price is ridiculous compared to the number of hours it can offer the player. Eric has not only made a masterpiece, he has shown that, with effort, love and dedication, it is possible to surpass even the big studios in the video game industry .

- Deus Ex : you can buy any RPG of this saga starting from a price as ridiculous as 2 euros.

- Metal Gear Solid V: The Definitive Experience : You can dock Kojima himself by buying this for just 5 euros.
- Mass Effect 2 – You will need to play the first part as well to fully enjoy this title. In any case, you can get both for sheer change.
