    • The Yakuza games aren’t individually on sale (which is weird), but the Bundle and Collection are 70% and 75% off. Yakuza Zero is definitely worth playing, so for 30 bucks (in Canuck dollars), you basically get two more games for free in the bundle.
    • RDR2 is 67% off and absolutely worth every penny.
    • AC Origins is 85% off and AC Odyssey is 80%. I know some people have mixed opinions about Odyssey, but I honestly loved both of these games even if the historical accuracy…dips…in Odyssey.

        Depends on your specs, I guess. I have a top end GPU for the first time in my life (3rd world is tough), it’s glorious seeing it in full ultra, 1440p@60FPS. If you won’t be able to bruteforce it, the One X version should be fine, I guess.

    I’ll put a nomination in for Dragon’s Dogma @ $5. I first played it on the vita, so it’s great for portable (Deck) playing. It’s a fun enough RPG/fantasy and I quite liked the pawn system. There’s a sequel on the way so if it’s something you enjoy there’ll be more :)

      Dragons Dogma is phenomenal. And the DLC is perfect too. Highly recommend it for any fans of Soulslikes, Monster Hunter or The Witcher series

    I highly recommend playing Disco Elysium, but I’d recommend pirating it like the creators requested.

    Amazing game though.

    Rude to list transistor and hades but not Pyre

    Pyre is basically Fantasy NBA Jam with a visual novel story that adapts to if you win or lose. Very good story. Very good art. Very good music. Very good game.

    Thank you! Finally picked up FTL after absolutely loving the Jumplight Odyssey demo during NextFest. I need more space survival sim in my life

    I grabbed the XCOM2 bundle and Gears Tactics.

    I played both years back when I was on console but playing the new Aliens Dark Decent game has me ready to dive into the genre again.

    The original Deus Ex is 86% off at 0,97€. Definitely worth it if you have yet to play this masterpiece! Just finished it myself on Steam Deck and worked like a charm.

      The mod Deus Ex: Revision is available on Steam as well for free, which makes it extremely easy to install and use on Steam Deck. GMDX is another good mod, but it’s not on Steam so you’d have to install it the old fashioned way.

      Vanilla is great if it’s anyone’s first play-through, though

    Anyone else feeling like they’ve already picked up most of these over the years of summer sales and there’s really not anything worth picking up this year?

      The most recently released game on the list is Hades, which came out three years ago. Most are much older. Chances are if you play PC games you’ve gotten most of these in past sales.

    I am tempted to buy transistor - is it pretty similar to Bastion? Pyre was amazing, but Im not sure if I need another straight forward RPG style game. Does it have some kind of unique hook?

    Into the Breach, Talos Principal, and Ori also look interesting. Although they’re all slightly different than things I usually play so not sure.

      I tried transistor right after Bastion and didn’t really like it in comparison… Then I went back to it loved it!

      It plays a lot different because of the whole action economy thing, but it’s definitely worth a try.

      I might pick up into the breach too, it looks like the sort of “puzzle” game I can get into

      • @[email protected]
        2•2 years ago

        Into the breach is amazing, it definitely plays like a puzzle game, the kind where you play the moves in your head to make sure the move you’re making now won’t come back and bite you in the ass 2 turns later :)

      I would say it’s easier than bastion but has some interesting combo mechanics.

      supergiant knocked the story/art/music out of the park, as they normally do

      Although I finished Bastion five times and Transistor twice, I’d still say Transistor is the better of the two while being comparable to their best game Hades.

        I ended up grabbing transistor and into the breach. I’ve had a beer too many to be any good at into the breach ATM, but loving transistor so far

            Oh I have played a ton of Hades. Hades II will be a game I pick up when it comes out. No idea how I missed transistor

      The only bad thing I have to say about Into the Breach is that the final level is insanely hard on anything but the easiest difficulty - which is kinda on par with the creators of FTL. Either way, I highly recommend it!

    Thanks for reminding me that *left 4 dead 1 & 2 *were in sale for 90% and other old valve games… I bought them as soon as i can!

      I didn’t want to fill out the list with extra info, but L4D2 is both games in one engine.

    Risk of rain 2 if you’re into FPV rouge likes (I love zombies and any wave shooter game really)

    One of my favorite games of all time. The music is 10/10 epic. I’m trying to get 100% completion. Especially amazing with friends to just chill and slay. Mercenary is my go to character. Hard to learn, but rewarding.
