Which of the games you purchased during one of this year's Summer Sales did you like best?
For me it was Master of Orion: Collector's Edition from GOG.com (https://www.gog.com/game/master_of_orion). It doesn't have as big a discount as many other titles, but I am enjoying it much more than many of the other games I bought for 75%+ off.
Arma, and what could arguably be called its progeny via the "sandbox zombie survival games," has to be the bees-knees of games for me right now.
Intense PvP action with little room for error as well as tons of mods makes this a title that will hang on my hard drive for some time to come.
I just discovered Steamworld Heist last night. Turn based tactical gunplay between cowboy robots ("cowbots") aboard spaceships? More, please.
This could be a very deadly thread for some at a time when everyone thought they were out of woods.
I haven't played any yet!
I would say Crookz - The Big Heist and TROPICO 5: COMPLETE COLLECTION both on GOG.
So far my favorite one is Vietnam 65.

I have to play new game immedietly after purchase for at least 1 hour, so can I shelf it later without guilt :P
Of those I've played so far (I bought several that I haven't played yet) "Cranks and Goggles" - a top-down racing sim set in the 1920s-30s. Includes knock-offs of the giant "aero-engined" Brooklands cars. Minimalist graphics, but a ton of fun. On Steam for $5.
Renowned Explorers. Played that more than anything else I downloaded.

I got a cheap extras package for Heros and Generals, so I'm unexpectedly back at that.
Evochron Legacy. The game is amazing and done by a one-man army at less than 400mb in size too.
Fallout 4. Late to the party I know, but I wanted my new PC in place so's I could play it on ULTRA.
Arma III. Honestly, I think they finally got the game right...and I've been playing it since the first Flashpoint. Ridiculously immersive.
I'm enjoying Hard West. Started a new X-Com run with the latest update loaded. O0
Thanks to all for letting the rest of us know their favorite games of the Summer Sales. O0
I started this thread in the hope everyone would learn of great games others had found and would not miss an opportunity to buy a game they would enjoy that is mixed in with thousands of other, not quite as good games--something akin to looking for that proverbial needle in the haystack.
The biggest Summer Sale (Steam's) will end in less than two days. I hope more gamers will list their Summer Sales favorites so no gamer will miss out on any crème de la crème games other gamers may have discovered.
For me it's been a good sale so far, these two in particular have been really fun:
Windward http://store.steampowered.com/app/326410 (http://store.steampowered.com/app/326410) - sort of a Sid Meyer's Pirates without the minigames but with multiplayer, played co-op with a couple of friends and the hours flew by.
Steamworld Heist: http://store.steampowered.com/app/322190/ (http://store.steampowered.com/app/322190/) - Fun turn based combat with loot
