To cash in on Japanese gamers during the Golden Week holiday, Steam is running a massive Golden Week Sale featuring tons of Japanese games. It’s also a great chance for all of us to snag some quality titles from the Land of the Rising Sun. Here’s part two of 10 standout games you should check out.
Doraemon Story of Seasons (60% off, now 220,000 VND)
If you’re a Doraemon fan, this game is a must-play. You join a group of friends and simulate life in a charming town.
You’ll plant crops, raise fish, explore inside and outside the village, chase flowers and catch butterflies, and much more. It’s sure to stir up nostalgic feelings from your childhood.
Of course, the game has a clear storyline with events unfolding throughout. The highlight remains Doraemon’s iconic gadgets from his magic pocket, which help friends in hilarious and tricky situations.
Mega Man X Legacy Collection 1 & 2 (50% off, now 276,000 VND)
No need to say much, this game is a childhood classic for many Vietnamese gamers.
You play as Mega Man X or Zero hunting down and defeating bosses called Mavericks. The Legacy Collection includes two volumes, each with four games. After defeating bosses, you gain their special moves to use against tougher enemies later, especially the notoriously tough Sigma.
This collection adds new features like the X Challenge mode, where you face two bosses at once, cranking up the difficulty. It also includes rare behind-the-scenes content about the series’ development and a film explaining Sigma’s origins.
Okami HD (50% off, now 138,000 VND)
Okami blends Japanese folklore and mythology into a unique experience. Think of it as a 3D Zelda with visuals inspired by traditional Japanese ink wash paintings.
Playing feels more like watching art come to life than a typical game. Combat, exploration, and gameplay all get a boost thanks to the stunning watercolor-style graphics.
While it has some flaws, Okami is a bold AAA title that’s incredibly captivating. It combines an adventurous campaign with artistic visuals and unique gameplay. You play as Amaterasu, the Sun Goddess in wolf form.
Your mission is to defeat demons using the Celestial Brush, which also helps solve puzzles throughout the game.
The Evil Within 2 (50% off, now 450,000 VND)
The Evil Within 2 is a wild and twisted horror game. You return as Sebastian Castellanos, diving back into the STEM system to find your daughter Lily, who is believed dead, in the town of Union.
Building on the stealth-action survival horror formula of the first game, The Evil Within 2 expands the setting to a larger world. You have to constantly run and strategize to avoid grotesque monsters wreaking havoc on the streets, turning every moment into intense terror.
The story’s climax comes late, but in a world where anything can happen, you’re never truly safe. The game features unforgettable tense moments that stick with you long after finishing.
If anything chills players to the bone, it’s the presence of Amina, a wild-haired ghost who relentlessly haunts Sebastian throughout the game.
Little Nightmares (80% off, now 108,000 VND)
Little Nightmares is a horror puzzle game centered on a little girl named Six trapped on an underwater ship called the Maw.
Like Inside or Limbo, Little Nightmares has no dialogue. Instead, it tells its story through atmosphere, music, and eerie visuals. Your job is to guide Six to escape the Maw, solve puzzles, and avoid or confront the terrifying residents who prey on anything they can.
But why is Six on the Maw? What’s happening to the world? And why have the ship’s guests turned into ravenous monsters? The answers await you as you uncover the dark secrets.
Code Vein (67% off, now 264,000 VND)
If you’re into Soul-Like games (think super challenging titles from FromSoftware), Code Vein is for you.
This game feels like a dark anime, similar to Tokyo Ghoul, but you’re the main character living out the story. The combat is smooth and stylish, with satisfying combos that make it easy to sink hundreds of hours in. The vibrant graphics and striking character designs deliver stunning anime-style visuals.
Code Vein also lets you fully customize your character’s appearance, which easily beats the difficult and sometimes frustrating character creation in Dark Souls.
