I’ve about $50 in my steam wallet and I’m wondering what this community would think are must-haves. I’m currently eyeing Satisfactory and Potion Craft and am worried I’m missing out on any great deals.

Resident Evil 7 is $8 its really fun but I can only play like an hour at a time or I feel like my heart will pop out of my chest.
Subnautica is $10 I haven’t gotten it yet but heard it’s really good.
Deep Rock Galactic $10
Valheim $12
Hollow Knight $8
Fallout New Vegas $7
Slay the Spire $9 rogue like deck builder
Castle Crashers $3
Batman Arkham Collection $9 four great games for that price is an amazing deal
Spyro Trilogy $10
Undertale $3
Sleeping Dogs $3
Death’s Door $8
Slay the Spire is SO worth it. There’s so many hours of entertainment in that little gem.
Sleeping dogs is a great game. I never liked any GTA games or anything else in that style but I fell in love with that game. Great combat, fun story, great atmosphere and and beautiful representation of Hong Kong.
Same, Sleeping Dogs was just so much more fun to me than other open world games. The martial arts combat was a lot more fun than the typical gun combat most open world games have, and Hong Kong felt more interesting and interactable than the typical open world city, and it just looking fantastic. Only thing is that it runs out of content way before something like GTA, but I’d rather have more fun with fewer hours than endless padding. Wish it had been more successful so we could have gotten a more expansive sequel.
+100 to Sleeping Dogs! Seconding everything you say - plus it has the pork bun vendor.
A man who never eats pork buns is never a whole man!
Subnautica is so much fun. I spent hours and my wrists on Sub 1 and 2.
PC version has an ‘keep going forward’ button, takes the strain off. But yes; one of the finest games ever made, I think - do yourself a favour and go in blind.
I got to a point and then had no idea what to do next and stopped playing. I really want to finish it however
Seems like it from what I’ve heard, it’s currently sitting in my cart because I’m trying to decide which games I’m gonna have time for over ones that I can wait for the next sale.
Haven’t played Castle Crashers / Death’s Door, but otherwise that is a phenomenal selection of games - can’t go wrong with any of those.
Castle Crashers is a fun indie coop beat em up style game up to 4 players and is also couch coop. Deaths Door is a really fun action rpg but a bit short, def worth it tho when on sale.
Great list, fnv, hollow knight, valheim, slay the spire, subnautica and sleeping dogs are probably all in my top 20 pc games ever and maybe top 10 for single player.
If you could only play one of the rest which would you pick?
I just picked up Spider-Man: Remastered and I am having a ton of fun.
Still kinda expensive if I’m honest.
Yeah, it’s $40 right now. I think I’ll wait until it dips to $20 or $15.
Same I have been putting off all playstation games (besides horizon don’t remember when I bought that one) because they are just to expensive for how old they are. I do t care when u ported it to PC you “made” it years ago Also got a back log of games for years to come.
Agreed. I think Horizon and Days Gone are a reasonable price atm, but the rest are too expensive compared to their price on console.
Signalis is $16 for 7-10hrs of Silent Hill/Resident Evil creepiness. Has a similar aesthetic to Evangelion too!
Lucky for me I got it with Humble Bundle free. Haven’t had a chance to play it because of my backlog. I saw some of it through a streamer and it looked great.
Well, I didn’t even notice that the various DLCs (or in this case, games) for Halo: The Master Chief Collection are all on sale - you can get them all for $10. I’d been meaning to pick up the ones I didn’t have (I had them all on Xbox One, so its been on the backburner) which is awesome.

Lots of great deals on high-profile games this sale, and I highly recommend everything on this list.
Isn’t there something with disco elysium and whoever is profiting off of it now is not the original creators?

Didn’t watch it through. Please come back with summary if you do :)
It’s a clusterfuck really, but yeah the lead writer, designer and artist were all fired and lost the rights to the IP. Litigation is still ongoing I think, and hopefully Kurvitz, Hindpere and Rostov can regain the right to at least produce more work in the IP in the future. Heartbreaking for Kurvitz especially since he’s built the IP with and for his friends from the age of 15.
The original developers were forced out of the studio, allegedly through fraudulent means, but I’m not sure whether they lost royalties from sales as well. I can’t find anything confirming one way or the other, unfortunately.
Yeah, iirc the developers, who’d spent bloody ages developing the world for the game, we’re effectively kicked out during a hostile publisher takeover. They’re seeing none of the money from sales, nor do they hold the rights to their own property.
I might be misremembering some parts here, but the main point is that the devs were fucked over, aren’t profiting off their property, can’t do anything new with the property.
🏴☠️ it is then.
I loved Discord Elysium! Going to pick up Pillars of Eternity because of your comment. Never heard of those games and looks cool.
Going to try these on my Steam Deck, not sure how the controls work with controller yet. ProtonDB gave both a platinum rating, yet Steam says playable lol. If it’s anything like Divinity Original Sin 2 then I’m excited.
ProtonDB gave both a platinum rating, yet Steam says playable lol
Steam’s checkmark rating is based on a very specific set of criteria, like if the game plays well on gamepad, if the UI elements work on small displays, if it requires keyboard input, etc. Yellow check means the game will play, green means it theoretically has an experience which is on par with native console games.
ProtonDB only cares how good the Linux compatibility is in general, not specifically on the Steam Deck.
ProtonDB now has their top results specifically for the Deck, which is annoying since I only care about general Linux compatibility and would like to remove them. I can filter my results to show matching OS / graphics card, which is great, but only once I’ve scrolled passed a whole pile of stuff I don’t care about.
Disco Elysium is Verified. The only reason Pillars is Playable and not Verified is because the game doesn’t always have the correct button prompts.
Control is great!
All time favorite game. Cannot wait for AW2.
I’d recommend Pathfinder over Pillars Of Eternity, it has a massive sale too!
I loaded up Pathfinder, got through the intro and got to the world map, thought, ‘yep, I can see myself spending a lot of time on this game,’ and haven’t played it since lol. I really need to jump into it again.
Owlcat are also doing a Rogue Trader crpg set in the Warhammer 40000 universe. I’ve tried to swear off GW for being evil but it looks really cool from what I’ve seen.
Holy shit a wh40k crpg? Shut up and take my money!
Honestly both are excellent. PF kingmaker has the beneath the stolen lands DLC which is dope, it’s like an infinite dungeon crawl. Pure D&D-style combat in a roguelike!
How does the original dying light hold up in 2023?
Still the better Dying Light imo, but DL2 is catching up due to Techland actually giving a shit.
Cassette Beasts! Amazing monster trainer/Pokemon like with quality of life improvements everywhere, a crazy amount of “shinys” as each monster can spawn as any element, good story and tunes, and awesome art. Definitely worth picking up.
Also Eastward doesn’t get enough love. Touching story, brilliant art and music, solid mechanics and a whole, deep turn based retro rpg within the game.
Never heard of Cassette Beasts! That looks really cool, I’ll check it out.
It is also made in Godot, which is a free and open source engine!
I picked up Tunic and having a blast with it so far.
Got binding of Isaac complete bundle as well, yet to get to that but been on the wishlist for a few months
Tunic is awesome and adorable and I love foxes and soulslike stuff. But man… Tunic has me soooo confused. It’s got a great sense of discovery but I’m extremely stuck, and don’t want to look things up.
I put another few hours in after work today and got slowed down a couple of times, but studying the instruction manual has gave me some pointers and I am loving that aspect of it
How far are you? There are some pretty bullshit puzzles towards the end. I eventually resorted to a guide and didn’t regret it.
Goodness, like… six hours in? Not very far hahaha
Oops. Well. My advice at that point is to just explore literally every nook and cranny on the map.
Thank ya! I’ll do that when I go back. It’ll be a bit now; this Steam sale has really got me. I’ve spent under 50USD the past… five? And this one I’m in for like 600USD. Dave has me on lock, completely.
Divinity Original Sin 2 is 60% off and easily the best RPG I’ve ever played. You get a ridiculous amount of freedom as if it’s a DnD campaign, and you’re on a quest to become god.
+1 for Divinity, Red Prince Theme is a banger
Also, I’ll yield to none!
Outer Wilds
Absolutely
Just a heads up: Humble Bundle posts in like an hour. I’m waiting for that drop so I can make sure I don’t overspend lol.
-Outer Wilds and Return of the Obra Dinn are must plays. About $27
-Definitely recommend the spiderman games.
-I’m looking at a game called Cloudbuilt. It’s $7. This review is selling me “If Mirrors Edge and Sonic decided that they wanted to have a baby but then megaman x was upset cause he always wanted to have a baby with mirrors edge so he inserted nano machines to make the baby a bit more like him this game is what you would end up with!”
I wish I could forget everything about Obra Dinn for a better 2nd play. That game is fantastic.
It’s a brilliant game.
Stardew Valley, Graveyard Keeper, portal 1 and 2, Undertale, Katana Zero, Fallout 4, Skyrim, RimWorld, and if you want nsfw ones I can recommend in private.
I’ll second katana zero! It’s a brilliant little action platformer that reminds me of braid in a few ways, but turned up to 11
Recommend checking sales over at GOG, only DRM free games 👍
Beautiful side scroller. Amazing graphics and soundtrack.
