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.

Satisfactory.
Seems neat so far.

I just picked up a steam deck!
@philz Me too, lol. The most expensive version. And with the remaining Wallet balance, I got these 4 gems.
I just picked up a steam deck!
Didn’t get it on Steam but it is deck compatible (and on steam), The Outer Worlds. Nice no nonsense Fallout Stylus RPG, without the Bethesda jank
The remastered version or the original? Might wanna refund if it’s the former. Humble Choice (at July 4th) will contain at least the remastered version (the Space’s Choice edition).
Got it from GOG so…
My bad, didn’t read the part you didn’t get it from Steam but some other place. Then I understand wanting to stick with the DRM-free version for sure. Have fun with it!
Honestly didn’t know there was a difference. I got the DLC and the game individually since it was cheaper. Based on the comments I appeared to have made the better decision. (Though my poor laptop struggles to run it)
From what I read - there’s a remastered version that includes the DLC which is prominently advertised since March this year (which is also the version coming to Humble Choice). The remaster apparently had huge performance issues, but those have been (recently) resolved after few patches. Seems like typical AAA “We’ll fix it” behaviour, sadly.
Remarkably is that buying that remastered version doesn’t provide a copy to the original (probably due to IP ownership lying with Obsidian/Microsoft than Private Division themselves).

Stardew Valley is the GOAT. I’ve bought it 4 times (one for me and my ex on Android and again for each of us on PC) and would happily buy it again because it’s worth every penny.
I wonder if Stardew’s mods work on the Steam Deck? I’m not certain. But the game has amazing mods that completely change the focus of the game and add a ton of content.
I had a lot of fun playing that one.
It is unlikely that Cataclysm ever goes on sale, because the steam release basically is just a donation. You can get the game for free on the official website: https://cataclysmdda.org
There you can also donate other amounts than the Steam price.
I got the original system shock games to play before I do the remake! 5 bucks for the bundle! 😁
I got a steamdeck. Should receive it Tuesday or Wednesday.
I’m looking into Rogue, the game that founded rogue-likes! It’s a part of my mission to enjoy some genera defining games so I can understand gaming and it’s history more.
I’m also looking at the System Shock remake, the demo is a lot of fun on the SteamDeck!
just picked up Nba2k, and Left 4 dead 2. I still have a back log of games to play from last year’s summer sale:(
Honestly, nothing.
I’ve been consumed by Diablo IV right now.
Get a Steam Deck and play Diablo while lying in the hammock in the garden…
I’ve reached a weird sort of critical mass where steam sales no longer provide me with dopamine
Same. The critical mass being the amount of unplayed games…
After Dyson Sphere Program, I don’t need anymore games…
I just bought that too. I’m only afraid to play it because I know I’ll never be able to stop.
Luckily there is an actual end-game, about 100 hours in! Basically when there’s nothing left to exploit haha.
I’m waiting for the combat update before I play a new round.
I don’t understand. Have you tried spending more money?
I finally picked up Graveyard Keeper and all the DLC. Really fun game and plays great on the Steam Deck.
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!)
What’d you snag at GOG?
- Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice (Refunded as it got cheaper during the sale - then got it for even less than the original sale price with the soundtrack on GOG)
- Caesar 3 (Got that recommended along with my earlier purchase of Pharaoh + Cleopatra)
- Deus Ex™ GOTY Edition (Literally 1 buck + I’ve heard it got a great modding community)
- Lollypop (Had my eye on it since it launched on GOG - looks like a neat DOS game)
- Yakuza Complete Series (Already got Yakuza 0 on Steam, but couldn’t pass this. Especially at the all-time low price point. Funnily enough, I believe these games are one of the first to use GOG’s new Steam SDK wrapper to make it easier to port. Denuvo was already ripped out before by SEGA, and only having to recompile the game once to point to GOG’s own .DLL probably made the release a hell lot easier than before.)
- Hypnospace Outlaw (Indie game that’s been on my Steam watchlist for a while.)
- Cuphead with The Delicious Last Course and its Soundtrack (Double-dipping because I got the base game on Switch and the soundtrack through Steam. But didn’t wanna rely on Switch emulation to play the DLC after buying it. So GOG release it is!)
- True Love '95 (An older Visual Novel that got recently re-released on GOG. Seemed interesting enough to give it a shot.)
Persona 5 Royal is gonna suck you in for a month or so, lol. I started that shortly after Christmas, thinking I could finish it on the break. Noooope. Didn’t finish till late January.
I’m doubtful - only because I don’t get sucked in that easily anymore with games. My backlog continues to grow, and I still haven’t even beaten Tears of the Kingdom yet lol. But I got high expectations for Persona 5. I love me some flashy turn-based RPGs.
I got Dragon Quest 11 before as I prefer the turn-based combat in RPG, but that’s no where as flashy and catchy as Persona 5. So P5R definitely would get beaten before DQ11 haha.
Castle crashers is fun, but battleblock is hilarious. I love stamplers narration!
That’s definitely part of the charm that got me to wishlist it so long ago in the first place!
