Best action games in the Steam Summer Sale 2023

Here are our choices for the best action games you can purchase at a discount during the Steam Summer Sale 2023.

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice – GOTY Edition

50% off Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice – GOTY Edition this Steam Summer Sale – buy it now for $29.99!

Sekiro Shadows Die Twice (Game Of The Year Edition) is an action adventure hack and slash set in a fantastical version of 1500s Japan. Made by the people who brought you Dark Souls, it has one of the most enjoyable combat systems we’ve played for some time, plus a nice array of characterful bosses to tackle.

Red Dead Redemption 2

67% or 70% off Red Dead Redemption 2 this Steam Summer Sale (depending which version you buy)

Arguably the best cowboy/Western game of all time, Red Dead Redemption 2 is a fully immersive, beautiful depiction of the Old West with a great story, some classic bits of Rockstar humour, and laden with hidden details. Plus you can kill and skin animals and make them into hilarious fur hats.

The singe player game is where it’s at, but the multiplayer, although initially disappointing especially compared to GTA V, also has its charms.

Cyberpunk 2077

50% off Cyberpunk 2077 this Steam Summer Sale or bundle it with a Phantom Liberty pre order for 39% off.

After a shaky release, Cyberpunk 2077 eventually got a whole raft of fans after a number of big patches and updates removed the worst of the bugs. Plus an active modding community has now added many new features and tweaks to the game to improve the experience.

Although it didn’t quite meet the high expectations of some, the upcoming Phantom Liberty DLC should hopefully add some of the additional features that fans thought were missing from the main game.

Elden Ring

30% off Elden Ring this Steam Summer Sale – buy it now for $41.99!

ELDEN RING is widely regarded as one of the best games of its generation. Whether or not you agree with this largely depends if you’re a fan of the Dark Souls-like sub-genre of punishingly difficult hack and slash third-person exploration, but if you can appreciate these qualities then this really is a masterful title.

Compared to the Dark Souls games this title has a much more open-world feel, and its a truly beautifully realised, often bizarre, dark fantasy setting. Highly recommended.

Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered

33% off Spider-Man Remastered this Steam Summer Sale – buy it now for $40.19!

Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered is a full head to toe rework of the original classic game, with the story being pretty much the same but with the gameplay improved, along with the graphics, audio, and pretty much everything else.

This title has received Overwhelmingly Positive reviews on Steam since it’s release, so is well worth picking up. If you’re looking for an alternative title in the series, Spider-Man: Miles Morales is also available for 33% off.
