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.

I was really hoping to pick up some of the Stellaris DLC's that I'm missing, but of the 5 I don't have, 4 aren't on sale at all, and the last 1 is only 20% off. Pretty bummed tbh.

How’s Stellaris like on the steam deck? I have the game, but haven’t tried it on the deck yet.

The Sinking City, because I love Lovecraftian games and also I'm a masochist

I grabbed octopath Traveler 2, avorion, Carrier Command 2, Spiderman Miles Morales, and thr biggest find was the Metro collection. Looking to play through all 3 games.

Never finished Last Light, got stuck on a section and didn't want to go all the way back to an earlier save to make sure I was in a better situation.

Getting Over It is on sale for practically pocket lint, so I picked that up

It wasn’t good for me to buy the steam deck 2 weeks ago, this sale has made me want to try so many games on it.

So far I have grabbed Cult of the Lamb, Vampire Survivors, Little Nightmares 1 and 2, Inscryption, Aliens: Fireteam Elite, Aliens: Dark Descent, Dredge, Hades, Bendy and the Ink Machine…and I’m still looking. Fuck.

[–] ante 4 points 1 year ago

Hades was the first game I played when I bought my Steam Deck. It works flawlessly and looks great. Definitely a good game to pick up for something on-the-go.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I ended up getting New World since it’s the lowest price I’ve seen. I’m also hoping that the game has improved since launch. Going to keep browsing this thread to see what other deals people share!

[–] finestnothing 4 points 1 year ago

I grabbed atomicrops (with all dlc), 20 minutes til dawn, Dave the diver, and elite dangerous for ~$40. haven't had time to touch atomicrops yet, but I'm thoroughly pleased with the other 3 already

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (6 children)

Really debating finally going after Fallout 4 GOTY, Dredge, and Rift Wizard as they're all on my wishlist.

Kinda pretty sad that Dark Souls 3 is still so expensive... ever since Elden Ring blew up, its price has also skyrocketed. It finally got a sale today, but I remember many years ago it had a discount that was much lower.

Nevertheless, I got Alien Isolation, Dark Souls 3, and I'm hoping I can finally get some DAVE THE DIVER, but money is tight at the moment. This Steam Sale arrived at a pretty bad time for me :(

OCTOPATH TRAVELER II, Sonic Adventure 2, and Valheim so far for me

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

For Sonic Adventure 2, like Sonic Adventure 1, there were many graphical effects in the Dreamcast version that simple got dropped in later ports and were never brought back. They can be restored with mods

I got wrestling empire. In my first match I rode a skateboard and knocked ppl over. I found a gun. Goldust died I think, he just laid there for like 10 min. 10/10. Also ita fun to play, kinda like the old n64 wwf games.

[–] PointyDorito 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm considering Civ 6 for my steamdeck. Have to watch some reviews first

I'll probably pick up the Judgment games. I don't have Yakuza 4, 5 or 6 yet either, but the main series isn't on sale this time around unfortunately.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I tried to get Powerwash Simulator, twice. The payment failed both times, through 2 different payment methods (and not because I don't have the money). I'm taking that as a sign that I'm better off without it.

Slashers Keep, Lego Builder (the puzzle one), and some indie VR titles. I'm really tempted to get Sparky the Electric Jester 3, it looks so cute!

Has anyone played Void Bastards? What's your elevator pitch on why I should (or not) play it?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ended out with Death Trash and the new Power Wash Simulator DLC that dropped today (Terrible timing that.)

I ended up getting Faith, Cruelty Squad and finally the Dark Souls 3 season pass. I'm really looking forward to playing Cruelty Squad. It's going to be nuts just going off the trailer.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I got Life is Strange 2 which I've been meaning to play for a while now. I also got Prototype 2, which is easier to run on Linux than on Windows.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I have Battle Reals, Last Spell and Nioh 2 in my cart and will see tomorrow after I slept about it what I am going to get. Maybe all, maybe none

I bought X4 and it wouldn't start. So I refunded it and now I'm on the hunt again.
