Good PC games that don't require a massive download?

[Cromulent]

I'm looking for some recommendations while the Steam sale is still on for good PC games that don't require a massive download. I like strategy and RPG the best but am willing to try out other things.

Terraria

 

[GTanny]

Undertale?

I remember The Forest being sub 10gb, depends what you consider a small download I guess?

Stardew valley is only small and well worth a go.

limbo (adventure)
kingdom rush - https://www.ironhidegames.com/Games/kingdom-rush any kingdom game from these guys - 2gb max
darkest dungeon i thinkis 5GB

Valheim
Rimworld - Great game but never gets more than 10% off.
John Wick Hex
Risk of Rain 2

Project Zomboid. It's marmite, but if you like it, you can easily sink dozens of hours into it.

Would probably help if you define "massive", so we know the guiderails to operate in. Based on modern connections speeds, there are very few Steam games I would consider to have a massive download, but obviously people on 4G with data caps etc might feel differently.

Loop Hero / Wildermyth are both cheapish and loads of fun

Defence Grid games are tiny and good fun if you like tower defence.

Rimworld
Dyson sphere program
Noita
Slay the spire

I'm using my 4G mobile phone as a WiFi hotspot. No 5G around here, unfortunately. The connectivity goes from like 2Mbps up to 50Mbps and it just changes completely randomly for some strange reason.

You still haven't answered the question though, what is the file size limit you are working with?
If you don't have any data caps, then that's a pretty fast connection to work with, let's say it averages 23mbit that would let you pull down 10GB an hour, so pretty much any game could be downloaded in under a day.

Battlefield 2, it’s out there for free if you know where to look, still much server support, a great game.

 

[SkodaMart]

Just completed Xcom Chimera Squad
Great game.

 

[Tediore]

Factorio
Gunpoint
Hotline Miami
Another thumbs up for RimWorld and Heat Signature

+1 for rimworld and valheim

Civ4 has gotta be pretty small too, i prefer it to the modern ones
Siralim ultimate has probably a thousand plus hours of gameplay, but it tales a certain typ of person to enjoy it
