10 Steam Deals Worth Checking, but Dead Cells Is the Safest Bet

---

Gamersky has published a new "Today’s Flash Sale" roundup featuring 10 limited-time discounted games, including Lies of P, NBA 2K26, and Dead Cells. The promotion is running through the Gamersky APP game store, which has also added support for using coins as payment toward purchases, letting users apply earned coins for extra savings. The post also mentions a limited-time APP福利 giveaway and includes a link to view more discounted games.

The appeal here is less any single headliner than the range. It reads like a list aimed at every kind of player at once. There is the dark Soulslike Lies of P, the annual sports fixture NBA 2K26, and indie favorites like Spiritfarer and Dead Cells. That makes it broader than the usual sale post built around a handful of big-budget names.

If the question is which game is easiest to recommend on sight, Dead Cells is the safest pick here. It remains a 2D action platformer that blends Roguelite and Metroidvania elements: every death sends you back to the start, but permanent upgrades stay unlocked. That structure works equally well for long PC sessions and short handheld runs. Lies of P, by comparison, has similar name recognition, but asks more from the player in execution, rhythm, and sustained commitment, which makes it the tougher sell.

At the lighter end of the list, Spiritfarer and Please! Fall in Love With Me Tomorrow represent two very different kinds of lighter narrative experiences. Spiritfarer is a healing simulation game themed around end-of-life care, with players taking the role of ferrymaster Stella. Please! Fall in Love With Me Tomorrow is a live-action interactive romance sim, where dialogue choices raise affection and unlock different endings. One leans on quiet companionship; the other is about pushing through different routes and endings. Which one is more worth it depends on whether you want to sit with something more emotional or chase routes.

For players looking for multiplayer options, Shape of Dreams, Lost Starship: Marathon, and Doomsday Awakening are the clearest points of comparison. Shape of Dreams mixes MOBA-style design with an action Roguelike structure and supports solo play or co-op with up to four players. Lost Starship: Marathon is a PvPvE first-person survival extraction shooter, with its main tension coming from getting out before the radiation storm hits. Doomsday Awakening, meanwhile, takes the sci-fi survival sandbox route and also supports single-player or co-op. In simple terms, the first emphasizes combat loops, the second high-pressure encounters, and the third resource management and base-building survival.

The two more niche picks, Wanderling: Symbiosis and Dirty Money Game, are better suited to players tired of standard genre templates. Wanderling: Symbiosis centers on creature collection, resource gathering, and environmental restoration, which is not a common theme in discount lists. Dirty Money Game is a card strategy game framed with black humor, with money laundering, bribery, investment, and regulatory evasion as its main subjects. Tonally, it is more satirical than the average card game.

Another major-name pick in the roundup is NBA 2K26. For NBA 2K26, Gamersky specifically notes modes including MyCAREER, MyTEAM, Basketball League, The W, and quick play, along with motion tech powered by ProPLAY™.

The practical takeaway is simple. If you want the safest all-around pick, and something that works in both long sessions and quick runs, start with Dead Cells. If you want a more demanding action challenge, move to Lies of P. If your priority is playing with friends, Shape of Dreams and Doomsday Awakening should move up the list. And if you only want one slower-paced game with more emotional weight, Spiritfarer likely has more staying power than many discount games that make a louder first impression. The new support for using coins in the Gamersky APP also gives buyers one more way to narrow choices under the same budget.
