Zero. I've too much already unplayed and unfortunately working now (sucks to be adult).

MODERATORS
Buying a steam deck significantly increased by gaming time. The ability to immediately suspend and resume my gameplay, and not have to go over to my desktop helped a lot. I've played more this past year than I have in the last 3 years combined.

Outer Wilds. For a few friends who don’t have it yet. I’ve already bought it a couple times.
I already own it… but it’s just that good. So good I vicariously try to relive the game by watching livestreams and Eelis’ recaps of other live-streamers.
It really is something you have to experience blind. Since the entire game progression is knowledge based and pulling threads on the mysteries until the mosaic of the story and experience unfolds is truly something you can experience once.

Heaven's Vault, Hardspace Shipbreaker, and both Subnautica games.
Heaven's Vault is a puzzle game where you have to learn to translate an unknown language. Haven't gotten too deep into the game yet, but I picked it up because I liked Chants of Sennaar, which has a similar premise. Chants is 25% off right now, so I think that's a decent recommendation
Hardspace Shipbreaker is a casual game where you break down spaceships for parts. It seemed fun, and I wanted to have something casual to balance out my library, which currently has more intense games than I would like.
Subnautica is a survival game where you're stuck on an ocean world. I'm honestly not too sure if I would like this one too much, since I'm not too much of a fan of survival games. It just seemed unique enough from the other survival games, and it had a decent deal, and it was in my wishlist for a while. So I acted a bit on impulse and bought both games (Subnautica and Subnautica Below Zero)
Subnautica is a treasure. (Despite the bugs.) I recommend playing with a good sound setup and dim lights.

Xcom 2 has been on my list for years... hit 97% in this sale, figured it's finally time.
I recommend getting the bundle with all the DLC, slightly more expensive but very worth it esp. for the big content expansion War of the chosen.
$3.88, only about $0.50 more than just the standalone game. If the reviews are any indication, this is a damn steal!

I envy you greatly right now, you're about to embark on a beautiful journey. Xcom2 is one of my favorites, especially once mods factor in, of which there are thousands covering so many franchises and ideas you can't possibly play them all.
I wish you nothing but an excellent time and lots of dead aliens.

Nothing. My backlog is insane
This is the way. Why would I hoard 5 more games just because there is a sale? The next one will come shortly. Only buy games you plan to play in the next 2 weeks.
I have so many Steam Sale games in my library that I haven't played yet that I don't know if I could justify buying more. My backlog is just too long. By the time I get around to playing any purchases for this dale, 2 more Steam Sales could have already passed.

Nothing. I only play one game which is over 10 years old and it's still just as good as the day I got it.
Stealth Archer Simulator?
My mind went: "omg is there a stealth archer sim...oh wait"

When I see Subnautica, I upvote
I have to upvote your upvote. Subnautica is one of the greatest games ever made. Gave me serious Mal de Debarquement Syndrome when I finally pulled myself away to go to bed.

I just chip away at my list every time there’s a sale. This time I got God of War, Spiderman, Jedi Survivor, and Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen.
DD was an impulse buy since I don’t know anything about it, but the reviews were good. It was $4.79 and I see there’s a sequel coming later this month, so that’s probably a good deal and a good time to catch up.
But I’ll probably still be “ahh, suffering…” through Elden Ring when the summer sale rolls around…
Dragon's Dogma is a great game that was ahead of its time when it came out. I can't help but wonder how much of a hit it could have been if Capcom marketed it better (or at all).

Thinking about Grim Dawn, anyone tried it?
Grim Dawn is the most fun I've had with an ARPG in years. The class system is very interesting and, as far as I know, unique to this game. Rather than just being a barbarian or necromancer or whatever other typical ARPG class you can think of, your class is determined by selecting any 2 archetypes. For instance, maybe you like being a pet class like necromancer, but you want to have a slightly more active play style than just watching your skellingtons paint the map red. So, you mix in the Nightblade (melee rogue) class at level 10. Your new, combined class is called a Reaper, and you have access to both skill trees, free to mix and match as you wish. Very interesting playstyles can emerge from creative pairings.
I am a casual player so I can't offer any perspective on the endgame or anything like that, but if you're looking for something to scratch the Diablo 2 itch with a fun twist on classes,you cant go wrong with Grim Dawn.

Bought halo MCC for my brother, very excited to coop those campaigns. Very sad no split screen
I’m looking at Disco Elysium.
It's a good game, but you should know ZA/UM (the studio behind the game) was sold under suspicious cirucmstances; the lead designer and other major memebrs are no longer part of the studio (they sued, but it didn't go anywhere). Personally I wouldn't give them any money.

Pirate it, don’t give the thieving publishers a cent.
That game is a true gem and you should definitely play it, just ... don´t buy it.

Considering Red dead redemption 2. Also Heaven's Vault
Having finished my second run through of RDR2 I would totally recommended it if you're planning on adopting a second life as a cowboy
I'm considering pirating the game, since I bought it 2 years ago and have been unable to login to my rockstar account or receive any help from support. I bought the game, just can't play it because of the launcher. I've only played about 1hr through, I know the game has so much more to offer
Fuuuuuuuuuuck Rockstar, sail the seas!

I bought Satisfactory and Back 4 Blood for myself and Monster Hunter World for my daughter.
You have a family and you bought Satisfactory? Well I’m sure it was nice while it lasted.

I ran across a metroidvania called Feudal Alloy set in a medieval world where you and all the enemies are low-tech robots with fish bowls as heads. There's an interesting mechanic where swinging your sword generates heat and if you're overheated you can't attack temporarily. You can upgrade different parts of your body to fit the situation or your play style (more armor/damage/health, slower overheat, faster cooldown, etc), and the art is nice.
Felt like a lucky find for me because I just found out about it last week from an old vid on one of the yt gaming channels I follow (Let's Game It Out if anyone likes watching a dude try to break games by essentially QA testing the hell out of them), and when I checked the steam sale this week it came up for under 2 bucks.

I got the System Shock remake.
I got the Vampire Survivors DLC. I try not to buy Steam stuff anymore unless it's either a deep discount on something I kind of am interested in, or it's something I badly wanted.
