Who doesn’t love a Steam sale? People who don’t have a gaming PC? Okay, fair enough. But for many of us, it’s a joyous time of discounts on things that have been on our wishlists longer than we’d like to admit. As of right mow*, there’s a load of farming or farming-adjacent games for you to peruse in the latest event.
Over on the Farming Fest page itself, you can get Stardew Valley for a pretty hefty 34% off. Considered to be one of the best indie simulation games in recent memory, if you’ve been on the fence about it, now seems like a good time to pick up a copy.
For something a little more contemporary, you can also get Manor Lords at a generous 25% discount. If you’re not familiar with it, it’s the medieval-based RTS that’s currently in Early Access. It’s doing pretty well for itself, topping the Steam charts and selling over a million copies in a day.
What else is there?
As is usually the case with these regular Steam sales, you’ve got a week to make your purchases. Farming Fest will be ongoing until Monday, May 6, ending at 10AM PT. So what else is featured?
You could probably see this coming a mile off, but some of the Farming Simulator entries are also up for grabs for a bit cheaper. Both 22 and 19 are 30% and 60% off, respectively. Makes sense these would be in the sale. They’re pretty much the OGs of the genre.
There are also quite a lot of things that don’t ring a bell for me. Your mileage may vary. Maybe you’ve been waiting for Plum Grove or Call of the Wild: The Angler to go down in price for a brief spell. Now’s your chance to grab them. Or maybe you see this as a chance to try something new. The harvest is bountiful, as they say.
*This was a genuine typo, but I decided to keep it in because it works as a delicious farm-based pun. Yes, I’m this funny all the time.
