The weird thing is, for someone who has owned Steam for a long time the sale season isn't really such a big deal anymore. Sure, there will always be some games that I'd like to pick up on the cheap but I already own a lot of what's worth playing and at time of writing I've been feeling a little underwhelmed by the current sales. Obviously something off my wishlist will crop up for an insanely low price but the phase of me buying everything ever because it costs about 80p is long gone, which is a little sad for me really.
Anyway, this year Steam have decided to roll out a little mini game that goes with the sale. The Monster Summer Game is a clicker game where players work together to kill as many square looking monster things as they can within a day. As people kill the monsters it unlocks sales on certain games so there is actually a pretty decent benefit to playing this thing. Also as you play you can be granted up to 3 steam summer sale trading cards a day which is great if you're like me and just sell them off instantly. Get some discounts on those already cheap games.
Granted a clicker game isn't going to blow anyone's minds but it's nice to see Steam trying to inject just a little bit more fun into their sale events. It gives steam users something to look forward too ever sale other than just reduced prices on games. If you have a few minutes to kill then it's worth just checking out but if you have a decent amount of free time you SHOULD be cracking through all those delicious cheap games you just bought.
