IMO this link on DekuDeals is a much better way to check for interesting games: https://www.dekudeals.com/hottest?filter[store]=eshop

Personal recommendation: Mr. Driller Drill Land is an excellent, underrated puzzle game that is less than $5 right now.

Ys VIII. A surprise hit for me after impulse buying years ago. It’s an action jrpg where the action is very arcade-y (in a good way). The story starts out about a group of people getting shipwrecked on a deserted island. Part of the fun in the early game was finding the castaways and building up your little base on the island. The story eventually develops into something really ridiculous, but by the time it got there I was along for the ride. Worth a try for jrpg fans.

If you enjoyed this game and want more, looks like Ys IX is also on sale. The sequel has a more urban setting as it takes place around this huge city and includes some really fun magical-powered parkour for exploring the place. I like the scenario and story of VIII more, but still had quite a bit of fun with this one too.

Good recommendation! I own the sequel in steam,I just haven't gotten around to playing it yet. It's definitely on my list though
