Best casual games in the Steam Summer Sale 2023

Here are our top picks for the best casual games you can find for a discount during the Steam Summer Sale 2023.

Cities: Skylines

70% off Cities: Skylines this Steam Summer Sale – a non-sky high price of just $8.99

Cities: Skylines is arguably the best city builder sim in over a decade, with days worth of content on the Steam Workshop to enhance the base game, which you can already sink many many hours into.

Although it arguably might stretch the ‘casual game’ definition a bit when your power grid collapses, your sewerage system overflows, crime is rampant, and you realise your roadway system is an absolute nightmare, it’s a very fun and satisfying experience overall, with lots of calm moments in between the challenges.

Stardew Valley

34% off Stardew Valley this Steam Summer Sale – in the valley of the shadow of deals for just $9.89

The number one farming sim / life sim on the market if you’re a fan of beautiful pixel graphics, StarDew Valley also functions as a charming, heatwarming, explorative RPG, with lots of great details, humour, and story elements.

You can even enjoy the experience playing cooperatively with up to three friends!

House Flipper

70% off House Flipper this Steam Summer Sale – a flipping good price of just $7.49

If a satisfying digital cleaning experience, plus a highly detailed house modelling sim sounds up your alley then House Flipper is probably the game for you!

As with any game of this type worth its salt, there’s a great variety to the challenges and tasks to perform, plus bits of humour laden throughout. There’s also a great number of DLC to expand your experience.

Overcooked! 2

75% off Overcooked! 2 this Steam Summer Sale – a deliciously cheap price of $6.24

The perfect game to jump into quickly with your friends, then end your friendship just as quickly, Overcooked! 2 is a fast-paced seris of minigames where you (mostly) have to keep up with orders flying into your kitchen and get them out just as quickly.

Playable with up to 4 people, you can now throw food at your friends to hurry up your production line / annoy them even more!

PlateUp!

40% off PlateUp! this Steam Summer Sale – I’ve run out of puns, but $10.79 is cheap

PlateUp! is another cooking-relating game, but this time with simulation elements that let you design your restaurant and the dishes you serve in it.

Levels are procedurally generated, and you can unlock a whole host of extra equipment an abilities. Can be played on your own or with friends.
