I was looking at getting some roguelikes / lites (already have ToME, CoQ), unfortunately Cataclysm DDA is not on sale.

Krone Hotel at 90% off looks like a decent choice too. Then there’s Jupiter Hell, which I recently stumbled upon and looks great too.

I’d also like to get some of the FF games, though I’ve played VI, VII, IX and a bit of XII, it would be nice to revisit some of the older ones I haven’t played almost since the PSX era.

It is unlikely that Cataclysm ever goes on sale, because the steam release basically is just a donation. You can get the game for free on the official website: https://cataclysmdda.org

There you can also donate other amounts than the Steam price.

Satisfactory.

Seems neat so far.

I received BattleBit Remastered as a birthday gift, it's great. I hope they don't drop Linux support.

Other than that I might buy Bugsnax.

I think I'm going to pick up control.

I've been toying with the idea for a while now and 75% off is really hard to argue against.

I’m grabbing Nier Automata finally. I have it on disc in ps4, but my ps5 is digital only. So it’s going to be great to play this absolute classic on sd

Probably Satisfactory. Made by the same folks doing Valheim, which I've really loved playing. Also thinking about getting High on Life. Supposed to be a good game but the full-price tag has made me hold off until now.

I'm thinking of getting outer wilds, it's been recommended to me so many times, might just pull the trigger

I took journey for the third time (1st time I will play the pc version, hope it's the most gorgeous version) and the quantic dream complete collection. The leitmotiv for this summer is "chill and cinematographic games to play outside"

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

You know about Abzu? Also on sale atm an very clearly inspired by Journey, has very similar energy. Even got the same composer for the soundtrack.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

Picked up Darkest Dungeon, these rogue lite turn based games seem to work the best with steam deck

FF games are a solid choice. The Pixel Remasters have been very well received and anything that makes the early games more approachable is a solid win in my book. That said, I personally found the 3D version of FFIII (actual 3, not 6) to be phenomenal.

Ordered the steam deck. Pretty excited about it. Also been looking at Dark Souls 3, and R-Type 2.

  • Ori and the Blind Forest, after recently completing WotW.
  • GTA IV
  • Stanley Parable: ultra deluxe. Loved the first one.
  • The Beginner's Guide

Some local multiplayer games to play with my partner on the dock:

  • It Takes Two
  • Unravel 1 & 2
  • ibb and obb
  • Pummel Party
  • Sonic All-Stars Racing

I also considered Hollow Knight and Dead Cells, but prefer to get games on GOG when available.

Didn't get it on Steam but it is deck compatible (and on steam), The Outer Worlds. Nice no nonsense Fallout Stylus RPG, without the Bethesda jank

Necesse. It's like top-down Terraria with colonists that organize your chests for you. Great early game content, anyway.

I went for High on Life. It looks fun and has some reasonably good reviews.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I've been playing a lot of fighting games lately, so I picked up UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH Exe:Late[cl-r] bundled with its DLC.

Yes, I copied the title from the store page to make sure I formatted it right.

i'm debating finally trying la noire -- would have been up my alley like 25 years ago, but never got around to it...

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Not sure if I'll buy anything, my backlog is terrible already and I recently bought some games like Tales of Arise through Fanatical sales. Main game I was hoping would get a sale was Shadows of Doubt but it's still full price.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

Why play, if you can buy?

I only bought games I plan on playing on the Steam Deck. Those are:

  • Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition
  • Mark of the Ninja Remastered
  • RimWorld
  • Rune Factory 5
  • Clive 'n' Wrench

Never played any of them before.

I got Lake and The Long Dark, both of which had been on my wishlist.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

Just recently got a steam deck. But not bitter about missing that sale.

However, very happy with the 75% off Halo MCE, which other than some occasional stutter, is lots of fun on the SD handheld mode
