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.

ZOMBIE ROLLERZ: Pinball hero is an essential steam deck rouge like pinball game. Only $3 right now. I've been screaming to the rooftops about this game, it deserves so much more love. It runs amazing on deck and looks great when ballooned to full screen due to the artstyle.

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

Good news if you are holding off playing CDDA because of the price: it's free on their official website. You can play now, and then buy later if you want to support development.

Just now I got three low-priced titles: Verlet Swing | Levelhead: Platformer Maker | Solo

I'm not looking to buy anything specifically. I'll probably check my Steam wishlist at some point with low price and high discount filters and decide if I want anything else.

I don't need anything new though. My library backlog with unplayed great games is big enough.

Got a few smaller ones from my wishlist: Sword & Sworcery, To The Moon, Antichamber, Her Story, Undertale, Sorcery! 1-4, Reigns, Call of the Sea and Overboard!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The Entropy Centre and Risk of Rain 2, bought more but those are the two I'm gonna play first.

Ror 2 is such a treat

I've been watching other people play Deep Rock Galactic for a while now, might be time to actually get my feet wet lol.

Just picked up Hi Fi Rush and Dave the Diver. I'm going to Amsterdam for a conference in a few weeks and both will be nice on the long plane ride

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Dark souls 3. A lifetime of shitposting about the series and I just now get the third one.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

left 4 dead 2 and team fortress classic. I really love valve games and they are both fun games to play!

Recommend looking at Sales on GOG as well. All the games there are DRM free, meaning you actually own the games you buy there, also there are loads of great deals 🤘

[–] Netglitch 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I figured out a while back that it's just not healthy for me (I stress 'me' because it's my experience) to collect games to play later just because they're on sale. I have a few hundred games just on Steam bought all the way back to sales in the 2000's. I've spent hours scrolling through them and realising they don't interest me and probably never will. Sales will usually come again so I'll just get a game when I actually want to play it.

I'm deciding between the Witcher 3, RE2 or Disco Elysium.

I picked up Sun Haven. I was thinking of playing it the other day, and the steam sale reminded me it existed. (I'm having fun with it, but the play experience is somewhat janky.)

Other items on my wishlist on much bigger discounts are just sitting there because I don't have the mental space for them.

Had a bigger haul at GOG, but for Steam I got:

  • Persona 5 Royal (through Humble because of my Choice discount making it just under 30 bucks)
  • Another World (double-dip on Steam because the GOG release doesn't have the original Amiga ROMs as bonus content)
  • Garbage Pail Kids: Mad Mike and the Quest for Stale Gum (a new NES homebrew game published by Digital Eclipse - always been a decent emulation publisher)
  • NOMAD (another classic emulated title)
  • Castle Crashers (one of my "indie titles to get" games on the old list)
  • Battleblock Theater (same reason as Castle Crashers!)

I still have to work my way through the pile of games I bought from the last three steam sales. For the first time, I don't feel the urge to add more.

I went crazy on some colony sims like 'Foundation' and 'Kingdom's & Castles'. Loving them both!

Going to have to check my wishlist and see... So tempted to get a Steam Deck rather than a Switch. Might have to actually pull the trigger....

I just picked up Detroit Become Human to play with my partner. Its one of her favorite games and I know nothing about it

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If I could I would by myself some time to play games

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

That's called a "vacation." Unfortunately, those generally come with other activities...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Looks like this is when I finally buy Dead Cells, kinda surprised it took this long

[–] inflatablerobot 5 points 1 year ago

I got a cheap projector on Amazon to pair with my steamdeck. I set up the projector in the yard, had a few friends over, and played some 4 player games I grabbed on steam sale. Neurovoider, helldivers, crawl, ninja turtles... Had a good time.

I got Doom Enternal, but damn it’s 91 GB and I have only 89 free. (Yes, RDR2…) Now I wait for my SD card that I purchased afterwards…

Last night I picked up: Hollow Knight, Deus Ex Mankind Divided, Monster Sanctuary, Pillars of Eternity, Guardian’s of the Galaxy, Journey to the Savage Planet, and a Vampire Survivor DLC. Not bad for ~$60.

Probably gonna pick some more out for an even $100 lol Cult of Lamb is high on the list.

@[email protected] If you buy the oldest FFs, 1-3, keep in mind that the versions on Steam have massive changes to game mechanics to make the games easier and more like FF7. I don't think it does FF1 any favors because the difficulty was a lot of what the game had going for it on replays, but if you just want to say you beat FF1 the Steam version does the job.

I'm thinking of picking up SaGa Frontier myself. Does it seem worth $15 to people?

Finally decided to pick up Persona 5 Royal after having completed the original on PS4 when it first came out.

I missed KOTOR when it was current so I'm catching up now.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I picked up the FEAR complete pack, Alan Wake, Hades, it takes two, CoH2, and the Valve collection. First sale where I've owned a steamdeck, excited to play

Already had Metro 2033 Redux, now I've bought Last Light and Exodus. Next I'll probably buy Rimworld or Project Wingman.
