Hey all. Always enjoyed reading everyone's suggestions on more unknown games available during big steam sales.

I'll start off with one that I have been a fan of for a long time: Death Road to Canada

This game is like a zombie action Oregon Trail like game, where you manage supplies and fight through hordes of zombies on your way to the safe haven of Canada. Only US$3.74 right now and well worth it imo!

Super Blood Hockey. 80% off, about $3 USD.

It's a very well made pixel art game where you play hockey and you can beat up the other team. There's a franchise mode as well, so you'll want to balance how much fighting you do so your players don't get too hurt. There's local co-op so you can play against friends (or use steam remote play together).

PlateUp!. 40% off, about $11 USD.

Similar to Overcooked but you need to manage your restaurant and make sure you don't fail a single order. It's a rouge-lite, and you can move everything around in your restaurant and you kind of manage the menu as the days go on, but you get a choice whether to add option A or B, so it slowly gets more complicated. Very fun with friends, steam remote play together works here as well.

Bone's Cafe. 30% off, about $11 USD.

Similar to Overcooked and PlateUp!, but I feel like it's more geared towards single player (but there's local co-op as well). You have to manage your restaurant and menu (can make it as easy or complex as you'd like), while also maybe killing customers to harvest them for ingredients :) You can spawn in helpers and you can show them a repetitive task to do and they will do it.

I highly recommend CrossCode, currently only costs $6 (It also has a free demo if you want to try it first). It’s a really well polished game with a great story, and the action is amazing too. It also includes difficulty settings you can change if you feel yourself getting too frustrated (as I did sometimes). This video also sums it up pretty well. Hope you enjoy!

Most of these aren't really 'hidden' but there are some good deals on some of my favorites right now:
Skyrim - $10, which gives you access to:
Enderal - Free but requires Skyrim in library
Witcher III + DLCs - $15
Raft - $13.39
Grounded - $24
Satisfactory - $16.49
Subnautica & Subnautica Below Zero - $18
Valheim - $12
Age of Empires - $5
Halo: Master Chief Collection (7 Halo games) - $10

I mean appreciate the deals but hidden gems? :'D

Last I checked, Witcher 3 is available on gog for the same price, DRM free.

Skyrim you should buy on Steam though. There's a DRM free version of Skyrim + enderal on GOG , but most mods assume you're using steam.

It is not hugely discounted, but Dave the Diver has been fantastic. Exploration with chill music mixed with running a sushi restaurant

That looks like a good one, thanks for sharing. But at only 10% off and still $18, I'll just add it to my wishlist for now.

Fair dues. But I want to point out that it's more than the sum of it's parts. There are tons of mechanics, and they're all engaging in and of themselves. But the balance and the complementary gameplay loops make the game punch above it's weight.
