I don’t recommend any games because I purchased a large backlog I can’t complete.
Noita is currently 60% off and is hands down the best game I have ever played (kind of). It is ridiculously brutal and you will die very often but you have the potential to get ludicrously powerful as well. The game will cheese you so don’t be afraid to cheese it back. In has so much content that beating the final boss for the first time is considered beating the tutorial.
Also if the some aspects are too bullshit for you there is a variety of mods to fix these, and there is absolutely no shame in using them.
I use the mod that respawns you at the last checkpoint. It’s SOO nice to have.
If it’s your thing btd6 is on sale for $3
Bang the donkey 6? Didn’t know they continued after 3
They expanded to include alpacas
btd6
I believe it’s “Bloons Tower Defense 6”.
I dont know if I can recommend them yet, but I picked up Enter the Gungeon, Heavy Rain, Undertale, Doom, and Pillars of Eternity.
More capitalism, huh? I hope steam is paying you for that free advertising.
Lmao
Lol
Too true. I’m getting my games from the communist on the corner from now on.
Critiquing capitalism while participating in it and name dropping a brand huh? 🤔

The Witcher 1, 2, and 3 + DLC ;)
Outer Wilds is on sale. Great game if you like space, puzzles or platforming!
My personal greatest game of all time. Do go on blind tho.
I went in blind and gave up after about 3 hours. I have no idea what the fuck is going on, which makes it too easy to die to the same thing over and over again, because I can’t remember which paths lead to progress and which ones lead to death.
Outer Wilds is a game for normies with a good memory and proper motor skills.
If you’re still willing to give the game a shot, there is the expiditon log in your ship which keeps that’s off all your discoveries and keep bulletpoints on the important bits of knowledge. It also allows you to track the corresponding location should you wish to visit it again to dig deeper.
I think it’s expected to be overwhelmed at first. Maybe try to stick to one clue and follow it trough before going out into a another part of the world.
People keep telling me that but my “expedition log” is always empty as far as I can tell.
If it is truly empty, then you have not visited a site of importance yet.
Absolutely, what i would give to play again with no knowledge
I have just picked it up!
I’ve still never beaten it. I’m near the end I’m pretty sure. Great game.
You’re always near the end.
Or just flying around space in a tiny solar system
I picked up civilization VI (for my PC), hades and outer wilds for my deck.
Kenshi is back on sale for 12$. It’s a special kind of special, but someone out there might connect with it. Lots of yt videos to get a feel for gameplay.
This is one of those games that I love the description, love the sales pitches, streamers do a good job of promoting it. In paper I should love this game, but it just doesn’t gel with me. There’s something about video games that just cannot be conveyed through video or text.
Undertale is at a new all time love at $0.99. It’s not really my jam but it’s the time to pick it up if you always wanted to play it but never did.
I think I missed the window on Undertale. Who knows, if I played it when I was 17 I might have a different opinion but the whole “I’m so quirky and random” schtick doesn’t really land with me.
The inability to resize the Undertale window without using a third-party program like Sizer continues to be INFURIATING to me.
Undertale is a good game, but it just makes me so goddamn angry every time I open it to not have control over the sizing on my own goddamn monitor that I haven’t been able to finish it.
Sounds like they should have called it Underscale
I’ll see myself out
It’s not really my jam
I watched someone’s entire playthrough of it on YouTube, which I find to be a decent middle ground. In fact, someone else I know doesn’t even game any more and just watches playthroughs; better to see an expert do it with insightful or fun commentary than to get frustrated from not knowing what to do, etc. when we have such limited time in our lives anyway. Maybe that’s why I generally prioritize roguelites nowadays; if I’m gonna play something, I wanna ensure it’s a unique challenge that possibly not even the devs have ever exactly seen, and not simply be treated like a rat in a fixed maze to figure out precisely or struggle otherwise when other people have done it.
Anyway, I digress; Infested Planet is $1.94 USD for another recommendation, and it’s awesome. The trailer undersells it if anything.
Never heard of it and I can swing $1.94 – thanks.
Rain World and its DLC Downpour are 50% off (just above 11 bucks)
Going to vouch for this game. I’ve been really enjoying it.
Best experienced without spoilers. Don’t even look up the creatures if you can resist.
You are not a hero, you’re are a small animal in a living ecosystem.
Love this game conceptually but I’m going to have to try again when I have mental bandwidth to get absorbed into it
This is my son’s favorite game. Seems to have decent replay value.
I went to check it out and it’s already in my library. Must have snagged it in the last sale.
Rain World is very, very niche in its appeal, but it’s perhaps the best argument for games as art that I’ve ever come across. I’ve never had to rethink what a game even is in order to engage with something before.
Doom (2016), Doom Eternal, Helldivers 2, Broforce
Well i enjoy snowrunner on my steamdeck quite well… Think i will get the year one pass
That will get me through till the next sale xD

There’s a truly great indie beat-em-up RPG with Brian David Gilbert that just released called: INK INSIDE and it’s on sale for $15.
He’s from Pink Floyd, right?
From polygon, and now on Dropout. He’s the new fact checker on Um, Actually.
I added Cyberpunk to the cart. We’ll see if I actually purchase it.
Do it!
The gameplay is boring and the story is confusing; don’t bother unless you just want some eye candy to show off what your 4090/5090 can do. The game is a heavily polished turd.

This game is fun with all the different mission choices it’s good for atleast 2 or 3 full play through.
I’ve added hell divers 2 and Chivalry 2 to the cart so far haven’t purchased.
The game is amazing. It’s not the same game it was at launch, it’s now up there with CDPR’s best.
I was thinking about this one too. Not sure if I’ll buy it, but it’s the only one I’m considering at the moment.
I’m in the same boat. Got it in the cart, unsure if I’ll hit buy
I bought it a couple of months ago and oh boy this game is amazing. The story is really well written. I am not much of a first person shooter guy but this game is definitely worth it. The story is great, the atmosphere is amazing, it is a really well made game and especially now with the overall international state of affairs and the rise of AI, its depressively dystopian story feels even more relatable and even the fighting is fun and versatile.
Good to know. I played a little bit of it at launch and thought it was pretty cool (I didn’t notice many bugs when I played), but never bought it. I know it’s supposed to be much better now and I’ve heard good things about the DLC too. Maybe I will hit that buy button
