Every game on this page is cheap right now, and these are real current prices pulled from our database, not last month's screenshots. If you have been hunting steam games for cheap and you want a shortlist that respects a small budget, here it is: 16 picks that are buyable today, most under EUR10, a couple under EUR1. No coupon math, no "was this price two Christmases ago" trickery. Just what you would actually pay this week, and whether the game earns it.
All of these are keyshop listings across Eneba, Kinguin, G2A and Gamivo, so you are buying a key to redeem, not a boxed copy. I have kept the curation honest: if a pick did not fit the budget-first angle, it did not make the table.

Every discount shown is the current keyshop price. Where I have not listed a percentage, the store did not attach one, so I am not going to invent a fake "was" price to make it look better.
Top picks worth pausing on
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, EUR3.93 This is the one I would put in almost anyone's cart first. A Metacritic 93 RPG with a proper novelist's sense of pacing, and right now it is EUR3.93 at Eneba at -87%. Yes, the opening in White Orchard walks before it runs. Give it the couple of hours; the moment the world opens up and the side quests start reading like short stories, the slow start makes sense. For under four euros this is the easiest yes on the page.
Terraria, EUR2.08 If you measure a deal in hours per euro, nothing here beats it. Terraria holds a 97% Steam rating across 1,523,104 reviews, which is the kind of number you only earn by quietly delighting people for a decade. At EUR2.08 on Kinguin it is a hand-built 2D sandbox that keeps unfolding: dig down, the game changes; beat a boss, the game changes again. Solo or with friends, it just keeps giving.
Baldur's Gate 3, EUR9.99 The most expensive main recommendation and still a bargain. Baldur's Gate 3 carries a Metacritic 96 and a 97% Steam rating from 844,378 reviews. At EUR9.99 on Eneba you are buying the sort of reactive, hand-authored RPG that people replay for years. If you only take one big-story game from this list, this is where a tenner goes furthest.
Garry's Mod, EUR2.86 A Metacritic 93 with a 97% Steam rating across 1,239,121 reviews, and it is basically a creative toybox with no win condition. At EUR2.86 (-17% on G2A) it is less a game than a place things happen. Bring a friend and a bad idea.
Grouped by what you actually want tonight
Cozy and solo Stardew Valley at EUR6.36 (-19%, G2A) is still the gold standard for slow, quiet, one-more-day farming, and it knows exactly when to hand you a new little goal. Pair it with Terraria at EUR2.08 if you want something to build in rather than tend. Both are the kind of games you keep open while a record plays. If you want more of this pixel-farming mood later, Core Keeper is worth a look too.
Bring friends, cause chaos This is where the cheap picks shine. Left 4 Dead 2 at EUR6.32 (-19%) still has a 98% Steam rating from 1,035,450 reviews, which is remarkable staying power for a co-op shooter. HELLDIVERS 2 at EUR6.65 is the modern squad-chaos option, PAYDAY 2 at EUR1.93 is heist night on a shoestring, and Among Us at EUR0.99 is the cheapest social experiment money can buy. For melee mayhem beyond this list, Chivalry 2 and MORDHAU scratch that itch.
Horror and survival nights Phasmophobia at EUR9.52 is the co-op ghost hunt that made whole friend groups scream into headsets, and it still sits at a 94% Steam rating across 834,362 reviews. Dead by Daylight at EUR6.84 is the asymmetric one, four survivors against one killer. If you would rather craft and dread in the woods, The Forest at EUR9.09 and ARK: Survival Evolved at EUR5.99 both fit. Fans of tenser survival should also keep DayZ on the radar.
Near-free, still real Among Us at EUR0.99 and Destiny 2 Legendary Edition at EUR2.90 are the two "why not" prices here. Destiny 2 sits at a 77% Steam rating from 646,888 reviews, so temper expectations, but as a way into a big looter-shooter for under three euros it does the job. PAYDAY 2 at EUR1.93 rounds out the under-two-euro shelf.
Which one to actually buy
If you want the most game for the least money, take The Witcher 3 at EUR3.93. It is the rare case where the price and the ambition are wildly mismatched in your favor. If you want the best per-hour value, Terraria at EUR2.08 will outlast almost anything else on this page. And if you have a full tenner and one long stretch of evenings, Baldur's Gate 3 at EUR9.99 is the one you will still be talking about next year.
Budgets are personal, and so is taste. Pick the mood, not the highest Metacritic, and let the price do the rest. Every number above was true when I checked it; if one has drifted by the time you land on the store page, trust the cart over the listing.
