RimWorld and High on Life both have my eye. Praying for my wallet that’s the only damage I do this year
Rimworld is fantastic if that genre of game interests you.
Dwarf Fortress is also on sale if you want something a little more intense and clunky, the QOL changes for the Steam version modernize it quite a bit.
Probs going to get Elden Ring finally. I have a lot of good games to play through this summer.
I stopped for a while after hitting a wall 140 hours in, and there’s still a silly amount of map left. I finally got to the capitol a few hours after that. It’s crazy how big the world is.
Plenty of others have finished significantly faster if they wanted to, so it doesn’t have to take that long. I’m not a completionist in terms of quests or collectibles or anything, but I do enjoy exploring every inch of the map, and have no need to rush. There’s a lot of game there.
Same with me, maybe 105 hours played, finally reached mountaintop of the giants, the difficulty just keeps increasing. One way to make the game fresh is switch up your tactics by changing your armor and weapons and strats. I rocked the golden halberd for quite a while, then some greatsword, then switched to a 1hs holy sword. I like the game to Diablo
It’s really a great game.
Got it earlier this year man and didn’t expect to enjoy it, but it’s truly an awesome experience. Dropped it for a bit to play totk, but I’ll for sure be back on it when I finish.
Time to get Boltgun. Wish it was a little cheaper but that’s ok
This was my purchase too. I’ve been really into the boomer shooter renaissance that’s been going on.
Also got the hammer watch four pack for me and some friends.
I’m so far behind on my games backlog, but I’m sure I’ll buy something. Steamdeck is on sale and well worth the money.
Steam has a Top 100 on Steam Deck list that highlights some great games: https://store.steampowered.com/sale/decktop100
It’s also worth checking out http://gg.deals/ and http://www.isthereanydeal.com to make sure you’re getting the best deal.
My wife and I don’t need steam decks, my wife and I don’t need steam decks…
Edited to add: bought two >_>
Do you want one? Will you use it? Could that money bring you more happiness in the long run used in some other way?
These are the kinds of questions I ask myself before spending >$50, usually prevents me from regret.
High on Life seems like a good, fun piece, now for 50% off. Considering it is still fairly recent (December 2022 release) and well rated, not a bad deal at all in my eyes.

Anyway, I am going for Hogwarts Legacy. I was holding back until they introduce some patch fixes, and now I can even save some sweet cash.
HL is a ton of fun. Honestly I haven’t even finished it yet, I tend to take games pretty slowly and since have gotten D4 and TotK so there’s been a lot on my plate, but it’s been fun.
Enjoy Hogwarts Legacy! I’m by no means a Harry Potter fan, but I had an absolute blast with it.
I think High On Life is on Gamepass, so you could probably check it out there for a month, for less than 50% off.
Hogwarts Legacy was worth it alone for the beautiful reconstruction of the school; there’s so much detail in it. Felt magical exploring it after having read it as a child.
Going to let things gel in my head a bit, but I’m pretty sure I will get:
- Uncharted
- Cassette Beasts
- Persona 5
I generally don’t bite on games until they hit $35 or so. Waiting for Spiderman and Returnal to go lower. There’s a bunch of smaller games I’ve been contemplating for a while that I will pick through when I get around to buying stuff, might get one or two extras.
I’m just so surprised that dark souls finally went on sale again.
I picked up the Yakuza Collection. I played 0 on PS4 and loved it, but never got around to the others. It’s one of the few games where I spent the time to complete side quests and mini games and actually enjoyed doing it.
Also got The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky - I’ve heard good things about the Legend of Heroes series, and want to start at the beginning.
I’ve been very tempted to try Steins;Gate and Stray, but I’m not likely to get around to them until the next sale so will probably just leave them until then.
