5 PC Games on Sale for Under $10 I Highly Recommend Playing Over Labor Day Weekend
Labor Day weekend is a great time to get together with the family, sure, but it's also a nice little three-day window to get some serious gaming in. Assuming you don't already have a massive backlog of PC games to play, now is actually a pretty good time of year to find some video game deals. If you're looking to pick up a new game before the weekend arrives, you've got options.
We're in between major Steam sales at the moment, but another big PC games sale going on right now is the Humble Bundle Summer Sale. There are a ton of discounted games here at prices that will last through the weekend.
If you're looking for something great under $10, I've got some recommendations for you. Each of these games I've listed are wonderful for different reasons, but every single one of them are worth playing for hours at a time.
PC Games Under $10
My first pick might not be for everyone, but it's one of my favorite gaming experiences of all time. It's hard to really go too into detail without ruining some of it, but it's essentially a roguelike deck-building card game with a twist of psychological horror. If any of that sounds interesting to you, it's best to just start playing without learning more. Going in cold is the best way to play this game. Next on this list is what has become one of the best indie games of all time. I was genuinely surprised how much I liked Hollow Knight. I don't usually like metroidvania games, but it has a sort of sad, dark charm that really drew me in. The gameplay is fun and the battles can get difficult, but the atmosphere of this game keeps you engaged at every turn. With the long-awaited Hollow Knight sequel releasing next week, now is a great time to jump into the original. I don't really feel the need to say much about The Witcher 3, because of course it's worth playing. CD Projekt Red's masterpiece is one of those rare games that I've ended up playing through multiple times. While it's the Witcher books that ultimately birthed this franchise, it's really this game that made it a household name. With The Witcher 4 somewhere on the horizon, its as good a time as any to start your Witcher 3 journey for the first time. If you're a PC gamer who also happens to be a Nintendo gamer, Bug Fables is one of those games that hits a very specific sweet spot. It's a turn-based RPG that has an eerily similar look and feel as the original Paper Mario game. It's a storybook adventure with puzzles and battles that has a fun overarching story. If you love games like Paper Mario and Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, you'll love Bug Fables. My last recommendation is the cheapest and shortest game on this list. Gris is a beautiful platformer game with some fun puzzles and stunning artwork. This game tells a story of grief and loss, and these feelings unfold through an incredible use of color, music, and gameplay. You can play through the whole thing in a few hours, and it's definitely worth paying $2.99 for what you'll get from it. This is one of those games that hit me surprisingly hard. The games I've listed here are just some of my favorites, but there's actually a lot more in the sale that are worth a look. Humble Bundle has a specific page for all of the deals under $10 right now and it includes things like the Batman: Arkham collection and Yakuza games. If you're looking to grab some console games at a discount, there are also a few other Labor Day sales worth checking out. There's a sale on popular PS5 games going on at both Amazon and the PlayStation store as well as discounts at Best Buy on various Switch games. Disclosure: Humble Bundle is part of IGN Entertainment, the division of Ziff Davis that includes GamesIndustry.biz, IGN, and MapGenie.See all PC games on sale for under $10
