Valve have launched the latest mini festival, this time it's a Creature Collector Fest bringing in lots of games that get you to collect little monsters in some form. Showing just how diverse this genre has become, there's a lot more to it than Pokémon-likes.

As usual it showcases games currently available with discounts, demos and upcoming games.

Some of the good deals going include these Native Linux games:

Monster Sanctuary - 75% off
Slime Rancher - 75% off
Paleo Pines - 60% off
Siralim Ultimate - 50% off

There's not many in the category that have a Linux version and on sale.

As for those that are at least Steam Deck Playable here's some separate picks for you:

Tinykin - 80% off
Temtem - 70% off
Bugsnax - 60% off
Cult of the Lamb - 50% off
Slime Rancher 2 - 30% off
Palworld - 25% off

Personally, I'm quite looking forward to Aethermancer, the next game from the developers of Monster Sanctuary. Worth keeping an eye on that one.

See the festival on Steam. It runs until May 19th at 5PM UTC.

Did Steam just unintentionally curate a list of games for Nintendo’s lawyers?
