Some games to check out
If you love creature collectors and have been itching for a new collection of cute animals or monsters to gather up, then you’re in luck. The event brings significant discounts to a bunch of worthwhile games, but here are just a few worthy mentions:
Palworld
Discount: 25%
I’m sure Palworld needs no introduction at this point. Described as ‘Pokémon with guns’, Palworld is filled with critters of all shapes and sizes to collect. There are hundreds to find and bring back to your base, and the recently announced Tides of Terraria update is set to launch this summer, adding more. Now is a good time to get ahead and set yourself up for the next major update.
Cult of the Lamb
Discount: 50%
When you think of Creature Collectors, Cult of the Lamb might not be the first game that springs to mind, but it does make sense in terms of the genre, albeit done differently. This one’s all about attracting members to your cult, and you’ll end up with a huge variety of different cute critters to keep happy.
Slime Rancher / Slime Rancher 2
Discount: 75% / 30%
If you want something impossibly bright and equally as adorable, then Slime Rancher is an absolute banger of a choice. There are endless expanses of island to explore, new areas to unlock, and countless types of slime to capture and cross-breed. Slime Rancher has a 75% discount, and the more recent Slime Rancher 2 is reduced by 30%.
World of Final Fantasy
Discount: 60%
If you’ve ever played a Final Fantasy game, or even if you haven’t, you’ve probably seen some of the creatures and bosses that are encountered through the games. World of Final Fantasy offers them up to be captured and evolved, and better yet, they’re the cute versions. Whether you want an adorable Floating Eye or a less threatening version of Shiva, you can find them all here.
Yaoling
Discount: 15%
Yoaling is a creature collector with an Eastern fantasy twist. There are over 300 Yaolings to capture and evolve through combat, offering up endless possibilities. There are also shiny versions for certain Yaolings, so this one will appeal to the shiny collectors, and you have the opportunity to build and upgrade your own village with the help of Yaolings you discover along the way.
