I didn’t test most of these personally on a touch screen, but they seem like good candidates to check:

  • Pawnbarian
  • Osmos
  • Hexcells (+ Hexcells Plus + Hexcells Infinite)
  • Frog Detective (+ 2 + 3)
  • The Witness
  • Taiji
  • shapez
  • Her Story sorry, it needs a keyboard
  • Eufloria
  • KAMI
  • Hook (+ 2)
  • The Pedestrian
  • Subsurface Circular
  • Dorfromantik

in gaming@beehaw.org•Is there any (single player playable) game with $10 which has made you point any go "haha" or given you an equivalent feeling because it was that enjoyable for every moment you played it?

I completely understand that! It throws you into a mission right from the start, with no easing in. And from the very beginning you can see that the game allows you to choose - do you kill? Do you sneak around? Do you shoot the leader? Do you let him go? What are the consequences of your actions? It’s not all clear from the start.

I played the original Deus Ex around 10 years ago. Once you accept the aged visual side of it, the world, characters and plot can easily immerse you till the end. I’d say play the original (maybe with some modern visual mods), then skip to Human Revolution, then Mankind Divided.

I didn’t bother with Invisible War and The Fall. I tried them for a moment, but the bugs and clunkiness put me off.

There’s also Deus Ex Go, a mobile game that’s actually a really good puzzle with fantastic music.

Sounds like FutureMe is exactly what you’re looking for.

For me, it’s games in the immersive sim genre. The Dishonored series and Prey, both made by Arkane studios, I can replay over and over, enjoying every moment of them, exploring alternate paths I haven’t tried yet. Deus Ex is another one that fits, especially Deus Ex Human Revolution. These games often go well below $10 during sales - here are their historical lows:

  • Dishonored: $2
  • Dishonored 2: $3
  • Dishonored DOTO: $6
  • Prey: $3
  • DXHR: $3

I also loved every second of The Witness - the puzzles are ingenious, hidden things are super enjoyable, and the community made a randomizer that generates new, harder puzzles to add more content to it. The Witness is at $9.99 now, its historical low.

I know a few people who love factory-building games, optimizing the production and even creating spreadsheets to calculate the perfect production rate. But the two major games in this category don’t fit your price criteria (Satisfactory is $15 right now, and Factorio $35 and won’t get any lower).
