The first Puzzle Quest is $0.99 on Steam right now

As is Galactrix, if you're into that sort of thing

I made it through the Puzzle Quest craze relatively unscathed, but others weren't so lucky. (Or, maybe they were, depending on your outlook.) If it's sheer hours of entertainment per dollar spent you're concerned with, this 48-hour Steam deal on Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords is quite the bargain. At 90 percent off, the game is down to $0.99.

The arguably less-good -- and certainly more divisive -- Puzzle Quest: Galactrix is also $0.99 in this promotion. As much as Marvel Puzzle Quest has my attention, its free-to-play hooks have me cautious to invest my time. Then again, Marvel. Hmm.

Disclosure-bot: Just in case the editor neglected to mention it, we have zero control when deals start and end. Deals can sometimes be gone within minutes (please don't shoot the messenger). Trying deal links even hours after this article's time stamp may lead to self-punching, so maybe bookmark our video game deals if you're on the hunt. Also, it goes without saying, but some shopping links do directly support the author. If you've spotted any inaccuracy please let us know asap.
