Best deals with 80% off or more at the Steam Winter Sale

Here's a list of the five best games with an 80% discount or more at the Steam WInter Sale:

1) Alien Isolation

It starts off with Amanda Ripley getting a clue about the whereabouts of Nostromo, her mother’s ship.

To find out more, she heads to a space station by the name of Sevastopol, which turns out to be damaged and external communications cutoff. She becomes separated from her crew and has to explore the space station alone, soon finding out that an alien is lurking about.

The first-person perspective immerses the player into the analog-punk world of Alien, where they must traverse through the dangerous corridors of Sevastopol trying to avoid all sorts of danger.

The game has an intuitive dual AI system where the alien doesn't know the position of the player, but the ship does. The alien can only investigate movement and sounds, while the ship can make noises, open and close doors, etc to nudge it to the player's location.

That creates scenarios where a player cannot predict when and where the alien can catch them. Jump scares are not fixed in certain places, meaning even in a second playthrough, they will always have to be on their toes.

In the Steam Winter Sale, the game is 80% off and is now available for $7.99.
