There are some insane deals this year
I wish the sales were as awesome as they were a decade ago.
That said, I’m thinking about picking up Balatro, but I feel no urgency to care since it’s only 10% off. Like, that $1.50 difference isn’t all that compelling.
balatro is totally worth it imo, absolute banger i got like 60 hours of completely addicted gameplay out of it and it’s a one guy game so idm paying up for it
I’ll put it on google drive if you want, it’s like 150mb.
I miss the more frequent 90% sales
the deep discounts page is pretty nuts this year, too bad i have everything i want off the list
i picked up terra invicta for 30% off, it’s pretty neat. the mod team that did Long War for XCom 2 built a 4x grand strategy with an alien invasion layer to give you a long-term goal beyond simple ‘turn map my color’ domination. get your research pumping, mine asteroids and the moon, develop a defense fleet to repel the aliens camping out beyond pluto’s orbit, all while turning the whole solar system your color!
I haven’t picked up Terra Invicta yet, but as a project, it seems super ambitious.
Bought Disco Elysium and BG3 for my gf, and Tavern Master and Colony Ship for myself
Dead Space 2 is currently discounted to 3.99€ which is fair but I distinctly remember gifting it to someone a couple of years back and it costing less than 2 euros in whatever sale that was. Then you have the original 2008 Dead Space at 7.99€, twice as expensive, and they list a 5.99€ EA Play sub above the fucking game itself on the store page
The pessimist in me wants to say we’re going to see less and less of deep discounts on old games in the future in favour of this fucking subscription bullshit
This might be the most mundane game I’ve bought so far, but I picked up Supermarket Simulator and liked it enough to mod it.
It’s so fucking tedious, but I can’t pull myself away once I get through the first day.
i got the Vicky DLC, fallout 1, 2, and tactics bundle, probably gonna pull the trigger on workers and resources too. also I’m gonna get divinity 2 and try out the co-op with my gf
If I used my immunity-from-contracting-and-transmitting diseases wish on myself and my partner, I would mask anyways because explaining that I don’t need to wear a mask because a supernatural force granted me 3 wishes is harder than just showing people that hot gamers should mask too
nothing. since steam neutered the turkish and argentinian local prices everything’s unaffordable for me now. I’m destined to sail the high seas whether i want it or not.
I might buy the metal gear collection and some indie titles. Kinda want to buy more but I’ve already got such an insane backlog.
You can get some great indie games for a cheap price right now. Here’s some that you might not have heard of:
- One night, hot springs. A cute, free game about a trans girl going to a hot spring together with her friends. There’s an expanded version of this game called A Year of Springs, which is currently 30% off.
- Tails of Iron. Cool game about anthro rats vs frogs in a medieval setting. Currently 88% off.
- Spirit of the North and Seasons after Fall. In both of these you play as a fox, exploring the world and solving puzzles to progress. Currently 85% and 80% off.
- Exo One. A beautiful game that takes you on a journey through many different planets. There’s no puzzles, you can just relax, enjoy the wonderful scenery and try to get your ball to the highest momentum possible. Currently 70% off.
I actually played Tails of Iron this year and finished it. It’s a great game, I’m looking forward to the sequel. Glory to the Moleshevik Republic!
Heaven will be mine is on sale so I’m prob gonna grab that
What kinds of genres are you interested in? I can make some recs.
As for personal pickups, got MGR and Pizza Tower. I also bought Fear and Hunger 1 and 2, I am sus of them but a Survival Horror JRPG sounds too interesting to overlook at their prices. Grabbed Tunic as well, Crow Country, and Hylics 2. Also grabbed Faith: The Unholy Trinity and Crosscode with New Home for easier Steam Deck use.
My favourite genres are action RPG (Skyrim, Gothic, The Witcher, New Vegas), turn based tactical games (Divinity Original Sin, XCOM) and roguelikes (Cobalt Core, Hades, Slay the Spire, Monster Train). I play other genres as well but those are my favourite. I assume your favourite genre is horror?
For RPGs, Disco Elysium is fantastic, but I would pirate it like the devs asked. Morrowind, Fallout 1 and 2, Underrail, and Elden Ring are other great buys. Crosscode is another banger.
Not too versed on turn based tactical.
As for roguelikes, check out Caves of Qud, Path of Achra, and Project Zomboid. Dwarf Fortress is great too, but it’s more city sim, same as Kenshi and Rimworld.
My favorite genre is probably RPG, haha, but I have been woefully missing out on horror bangers and am making up for lost time.
Nothing… I probably would have bought some games, but I am unable to. Also I’m ok with only having one game (xonotic), since I do need to limit my distractions.
Before I buy any games I first need to find a person with a Kazakhstan bank account, and have them buy the games for me in exchange for RUB.
i always wait until the last days because some stuff isn’t discounted until then
Square Enix fucking sucks at sales. I am not paying $22 for the anime pantyshot sequel to Yoko Taro’s Wild Ride.
