I picked up Total War: WARHAMMER III and Pennon and Battle, both strategy games. I’m thinking of getting Baldur’s Gate 3 as well. This should keep me busy for a while. My holiday plan is to stay home and game!

I don’t remember if it was on sale, but I got 10 Dead Doves on a whim and I’m not dissapointed so far.
Skyrim VR! Just got a headset and it’s neat!
I still haven’t worked my way through the deals I got during last year’s sales, and despite that I bought another dozen games on GOG this black week. So I’m trying to stay away from the Steam winter sale this year lest my backlog becomes such a behemoth it gives me uncontrollable anxiety.
A bunch of EA games they‘re practically giving away considering the 90% discounts (Mass Effect etc.), and a bunch of indie puzzle games (Cats Organized Neatly etc.) as well as some steeply discounted Devolver Digital games (Hotline Miami 2 etc.).
I think I paid the price of one full price game (70 bucks nowadays) for like 20+ titles, but also yet again lost the battle of the ratio of games purchased vs games played this year… Damn you, Gaben!
Now I‘ll just wait for Monster Hunter Wilds which is easily my most anticipated game at the moment and probably the first triple-A game I‘ll be getting on launch since Elden Ring.

Same here.
FYI, Monster Hunter Wilds is available on Green Man Gaming and Fanatical for -18%, taking its price down to a normal triple A price of 57€.
Even cheaper if you have max discount at Humble.

Everspace for 99 Cents. :)
Same, not tried it yet
It’s great.
An excellent choice, and the sequel is also great, although the gameplay is very different.
Game was hard for me to get into but once it clicked, it was awesome
Divinity 2: Original Sin, because I’m 30hrs into BG3 and it’s really good
The beginning of D:OS2 felt like a cheat code to get more BG3 after I’d already finished BG3, but as time went on, I found that everything from RPG systems to pacing of combat/non-combat is leagues better in BG3, to say nothing of the production value that’s obviously better in BG3. Still a good game, but the improvement between each of their RPGs is immense.
I have to say I very much prefer the combat system in OS as it feels much more natural and less restrictive than the DnD combat in BG3. Of course the latter has far more content, but I’m looking forward to Larian’s next game where they can finally go wild again and do things they want exactly the way they want.
I felt far more restricted by D:OS2’s armor system. Freeform classes sound great on paper, but it also means you kind of naturally end up at a spot where you’ve got everything instead of making meaningfully difficult choices in classes or multiclassing. Learning abilities from books leads to a lot of money bottlenecks and leveling decisions that I didn’t care for. The way that the combat usually doesn’t have any chance to hit, but then does very occasionally, makes missing an attack feel like bullshit rather than a calculated risk. I’m also looking forward to whatever they do next, maybe even a sci-fi interstellar RPG, but I hope they don’t go back to the Divinity well too often for RPG mechanics.
money bottlenecks
Laughs in Thievery Skill
D:OS2 is one of the very few games that made me cry with the emotions I had for my characters. I hope you like it, great game.
I envy you. I’ve got 1400 hours in Bg3. I love the game but i wish i could forget it to play it fresh again.
Caravan Sand Witch
I got 30XX and it’s been a blast so far. Probably gonna keep me busy for a while.
Good choice! Been a fan of that one since the Next Fest demo. It’s changed a lot since then.

And I gifted Freedom Planet 2 to a friend.
The Winter Sale isn’t over until January 2nd, so I might buy some more games before it ends. Problem is, I own most of the games on the Steam front page, so finding new and interesting games is getting difficult.
Fear Effect Sedna
Pain.
I have absolutely no idea what it’s about, but it’s only $2 (90% off) and I’m a sucker for steep deals, so I couldn’t pass it up.
It’s not fear Effect that’s for sure. You’re better off spending the time emulating (since they are hella expensive physical) Fear Effect 1 and 2: Double Helix.
Resident evil camera angle and gameplay but with super spy lesbians
Problem is, I own most of the games on the Steam front page, so finding new and interesting games is getting difficult.
This. I feel totally underwhelmed by the sale this year because everything on the front page I already either own or have no interest in. I know the discovery queue exists, but it primarily tries to feed me the same jank I already know exists.
I didn’t pick up any of the deep discount items but I did pick up a few items on my wishlist. I picked up Mouthwashing, WitchSpring R, Little Kitty Big City, the Nonory game collection and Okami HD. I already have the last two but I wanted them in the Steam library so I can play them on my deck.
Wanted to play It Takes Two with my gf when it launched. Hoping to convince her now that she’s my wife
It Takes Two is an amazing couples game that my girlfriend refuses to play again because of one scene lol
That damned elephant?
Aye, that’s the one.
This is my favorite game ever!!! Enjoy the experience.
Played it with my wife. We both agreed the gameplay is great but the story is awful. We disagreed that they should stay together in the end.
Oh It Takes Two is a good one! Played it with my partner a while back and had a great time!
I haven’t bought anything. We’ve still got another week to go though, so I might pick up something. I’m a patient gamer so I’m still waiting for Cyberpunk and expansion to come down in price. Otherwise there isn’t a whole lot that interests me right now.
I’m mostly waiting on updates for a few games I already own: Balatro is getting a big update in the new year, Enshrouded, Against the Storm, and Timberborn. I should get back in to BG3 too. I bought it on release and put 20 hours in and then just… stopped playing.
lockdown protocol and astroneer is pretty solid
I will vouch that even without the Phantom Liberty expansion Cyberpunk 2077 is fantastic. Phantom Liberty is awesome though, the story is intriguing and the new area is really well done. Everytime I visit Dogtown in that game I’m always like “damn this place is a fucking trash warzone,” the devs really nailed the vibes.
Anyways absolutely amazing game, and it’s half off it probably won’t go below half off for another year I’m guessing. Like you, I got into it after some major updates so I didn’t experience all the crap at release - to me the game is a masterpiece.
I got Life is Strange: Double Exposure. It was meh. Not super bad but had enough bugs to push it in that direction.
After that I played The Excavation of Hob’s Barrow which was phenomenal.
Worshippers of Cthulhu
Firewatch
I picked that up too and the first 5 minutes I was not prepared for.
I played it yesterday for the first time and i was having a mental crisis with those initial choices
