however, money is still a tight prospect for many.<\/p>\n<p>Just because you can&#8217;t afford the latest AAA games for R400+ doesn&#8217;t mean there aren&#8217;t any games worth your time.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, to save you sifting through the hundreds of titles on sale, we&#8217;ve created a short list of excellent titles on sale for less than R100.<\/p>\n<p>First up is the first and only technicality on this list.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">BioShock: The Collection &#8211; R115.80<\/h3>\n<p>While the complete collection is over R100, that doesn&#8217;t mean you can&#8217;t just buy one of the games offered in the bundle.<\/p>\n<p>The remastered versions of BioShock 1 and 2 are R43.80 each, and BioShock Infinite, the third game, is going for R79.75.<\/p>\n<p>The BioShock games are often considered masterpieces of storytelling and gameplay, so even if the value of the full collection isn&#8217;t enough, you can easily pick up one of the games for less than R100.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-UaeVy-tutU\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Little Nightmares &#8211; R99.75<\/h3>\n<p>Little Nightmares is a horror game where you play as a little girl in a yellow coat as she makes her way through a distorted and terrifying world.<\/p>\n<p>Its puzzle-like gameplay has you &#8216;fight&#8217; the horrible enemies by using the environment and your small stature to your advantage.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s an excellent title &#8211; particularly if you enjoy horror games such as Resident Evil and feel like something a bit different.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/y27KjX_FRk4\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Portal 2 &#8211; R15.80<\/h3>\n<p>The legendary coop puzzle game is on sale for the price of a packet of chips, and no matter which way you look at it, that&#8217;s an excellent deal.<\/p>\n<p>While Portal 2 is unlikely to give you hundreds of hours of gameplay, it is nonetheless a brilliant title with enjoyable puzzles and brilliant writing.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/A88YiZdXugA\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Hollow Knight &#8211; R75.90<\/h3>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve spent time playing Metroidvania games and soulslikes, you&#8217;re likely familiar with Hollow Knight.<\/p>\n<p>Often considered to be among the best in its genre, Hollow Knight delivers a brilliant and balanced challenge for those looking for something harder to play.<\/p>\n<p>Its sequel is also fast approaching, so trying out the first game isn&#8217;t a bad idea.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UAO2urG23S4\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Hades &#8211; R90.00<\/h3>\n<p>A godlike-roguelike, to quote the game\u2019s trailers, Hades very much lives up to its divine setting.<\/p>\n<p>Brilliant writing, excellent combat and a core gameplay loop ideal both for hours-long sessions or twenty-minute breaks make Hades perfect for any situation.<\/p>\n<p>Hades is perhaps one of the best, if not the best, isometric roguelikes currently on Steam and getting it for less than R100 is a Promethean steal.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/91t0ha9x0AE\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth &#8211; R52.50<\/h3>\n<p>The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth is a roguelike known for its gruesome visuals and challenging combat.<\/p>\n<p>It is a great game to play whenever you have a free moment but can&#8217;t afford to devote several hours to gaming.<\/p>\n<p>You can pick it up for thirty minutes, try a few runs and then come back later without issue.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_0f1jfq1H1U\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Disco Elysium &#8211; The Final Cut &#8211; R76.65<\/h3>\n<p>This is a game that, while technically centred around solving a murder, it is actually more about solving the mystery of who you are.<\/p>\n<p>Its massive amount of voice dialogue, skill-based checks and a vast array of interactions will keep you playing, provided you&#8217;re not averse to a lot of text.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yCBAkg3cLP0\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Metal Gear Rising: REVENGEANCE &#8211; R79.75<\/h3>\n<p>Not the most serious title on this list, but for less than R100, the entirely over-the-top action of Revengeance is well worth it.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a game that any action game fan worth their salt needs to play at least once &#8211; even if only to get some context for all the Senator Armstrong memes.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EMCkbDnaTDM\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Fallout: New Vegas &#8211; R32.70<\/h3>\n<p>The legendary Fallout 3 spinoff game made by Obsidian is often considered to be the crowning jewel of the Fallout games.<\/p>\n<p>So for R32.70, there aren&#8217;t many reasons not to give the RPG a chance.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/l-x-1fm2cq8\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt &#8211; R79.99<\/h3>\n<p>While Cyberpunk 2077 has tarnished the reputation of CD Projekt Red, no one can dispute that Wild Hunt is a masterpiece of story, gameplay, visuals, and world-building.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of your opinions on Cyberpunk, if you like RPGs and fantasy, you should play The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XHrskkHf958\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Stellaris &#8211; R71.25<\/h3>\n<p>Stellaris offers everything you could hope for if you&#8217;d like to build an intergalactic empire and craft and manage its planets, peoples and fleets.<\/p>\n<p>This game has tons of DLC &#8211; so you enjoy it, it could keep you occupied for hundreds of hours.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Unl15Vl0btI\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Cities: Skylines &#8211; R99.75<\/h3>\n<p>If you enjoy city builders and the challenge of ordering streets and making sure everyone has electricity (insert Eskom joke), then Cities: Skyline is an excellent choice.<\/p>\n<p>Building your ideal city has always been an enjoyable way to spend an afternoon.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CpWe03NhXKs\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Frostpunk &#8211; R43.75<\/h3>\n<p>If you enjoy building a city but would prefer something that has more dire challenges than power cuts and water shortages, then the icy steampunk dystopia of Frostpunk is the ideal option.<\/p>\n<p>Frostpunk tasks players with building and managing the last city in the world and keeping it alive as the temperature continuously drops. This requires careful planning and hard choices.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qqEpSOFDXGA\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Subnautica &#8211; R87.50<\/h3>\n<p>If survival games are your thing and you enjoy managing your resources, building a base, and dealing with giant monsters trying to kill you, then you should try Subanutica, which does all that with the added twist of being underwater.<\/p>\n<p>If you enjoy it and finish it, its sequel, Subnautica: Below Zero, is also on sale for less than R100.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Rz2SNm8VguE\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">The Forest &#8211; R32.50<\/h3>\n<p>The Forest is another brilliant survival base builder where you&#8217;re stranded on an island and must struggle to survive as you unlock the secrets tucked away in its depths.<\/p>\n<p>This involves foraging for food, supplies and the materials necessary to build your base while fending off attacks from ghoulish, malformed monsters.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/G6l09tvwt1A\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Solasta: Crown of the Magister &#8211; R87.60<\/h3>\n<p>DND is fun, but not everyone has the time or friends interested in it to experience its party-based fun.<\/p>\n<p>If you would like to play DND but lack the time and\/or friends, then Solasta is one of the best adaptions of the board game to a digital format.<\/p>\n<p>If you enjoy the base game, you&#8217;ll also be pleased to know it&#8217;s constantly getting new content.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bInJgt-DQc8\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Stardew Valley &#8211; R95.40<\/h3>\n<p>If you enjoy the gentle, peaceful process of slowly building up resources and buildings while forming relationships with NPCs, and prefer to avoid fast-paced, hard-hitting combat, then Stardew Valley is a brilliant choice for you.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s simple yet engaging gameplay will see you go from owning one run-down house and a weed-ridden field to helming a massive automated farm and a mansion-sized house that will keep you playing longer than you&#8217;d expect.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s the definition of &#8216;just one more hour&#8217; gaming that&#8217;s always so dangerous to curfews.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ot7uXNQskhs\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">The Sims 4 &#8211;
