Sons of the Forest and Palworld are part of Steam’s Open World Survival Crafting Fest

Started with nothing. Now we here.

Oh, look. It’s been a picosecond since the last Steam sales event. No doubt many of you took advantage of the last one ā€“ the Endless Replayability Fest. Well, don’t put your money away just yet, as we’re already onto the next one.

Beginning yesterday, the Steam Open World Survival Crafting Fest (and breathe) offers discounts on a series of well-known and slightly less well-known games from, well, Open World Survival Crafting games. You’ve got until Monday, June 3 at 10 a.m. PT to choose from what I would say is a pretty good list of titles.

Take a quick look on the sales page to see for yourself. Want 30% off Sons of the Forest? Of course you do. How about 33% off Project Zomboid? An odd number, but sure! Or maybe you want to get Stranded Deep, Valheim, or Subnautica for 50% off each. Even Palworld is there, at 10% off the regular asking price.

Summer lovin’

These events seem to come around more often these days. However, we’re not quite at the big Steam Summer Sale just yet. That begins in a few weeks. You can keep an eye on the SteamDB countdown if you really want to see exactly when it’s scheduled to begin.

Crafting and survival games feel like they shouldn’t be as popular as they are. But as we can see here, there are still so many offerings, largely from more independent studios. A lot of them are pretty decent as well, in my experience.

There are definitely more than a few in the sale that I’m keen to try out; Sons of the Forest, Project Zomboid, maybe even Enshrouded. Can I afford all these games? Check back with me later.
