I love this Steam Sale tool that discovers hidden PC gaming gems

Almost 19,000 new games were posted to Steam last year. That’s a lot to comb through, even if combing through Steam games is your job. When the Steam Spring Sale hit, I was looking for something new to check out… but basically paralyzed by the discounts for thousands of PC games. I needed a little help—and I found it with an online tool.

It’s called We Love Every Game, more specifically its Steam Sale browsing tool. It’s made by Totally Human Media, a Boston-based company that also has some interesting long-form articles on the subject. But the Steam Sale tool is what you should check out if you’re trying to sift through the mountains of discounts on Steam right now.

The tool is deceptively simple. Just select one or more genres from nine categories, then press the button. You’ll get an endless scroll of recommendations, each with a bit of video, some screenshots, and a paragraph of description text. There’s a link to Steam that shows the price, the current discount, and the review rating from players.

The tool doesn’t need you to log into Steam to see it, so it doesn’t use your personal library or play history to generate recommendations. Which, for my purposes, is a good thing—I want it to show me lots of games I haven’t seen before. The tool also seems to be weighted to select games that have above 80 percent positive reviews and with deeper discounts, bypassing a lot of titles that only shave a dollar or two off their base prices just so they can be included in the “sale.”

It’s an incredibly straightforward and useful way to browse. Though it’s not doing much that you couldn’t do with Steam’s built-in tools, the focus on nine broad categories opens it up a lot, as does the inclusion of many older games (as in more than five years old) that you might’ve missed.

Give the We Love Every Game sale tool a try if you’re looking for something fresh to check out. I’ve already found Shoulders of Giants (a combat action game where you’re both a little alien frog guy and the robot they’re riding around on), Nerd Survivors (a Vampire Survivors-style game where you can shoot fidget spinner boomerangs), and Stories: The Path of Destinies (a gorgeous action-RPG from almost a decade ago).
