I've about $50 in my steam wallet and I'm wondering what this community would think are must-haves. I'm currently eyeing Satisfactory and Potion Craft and am worried I'm missing out on any great deals.

I grabbed a bunch of smaller games for my steamdeck that I’ve been wanting to try:

Noita - you’re a wizard in a rougelike physics sandbox environment

Super Meatboy - precision platformer ($1.25)

Cave Story+ - old Metroidvania platformer I never got around to finishing on console years ago

Fez - 2D/3D puzzle platformer

DIG - “Spelunky meets Enter the gungeon & Broforce” action rougelike platformer

Super Blood Hockey - old school arcade style hockey, pixel graphics (and has multiplayer split screen)

Binding of Isaac - never played it, gonna see what all the hype is about. Action rougelike

Tunic - old school LoZ style RPG

Pizza Tower - sonic the hedgehog on crack

Dave the Diver - dive, catch fish, sell fish in restaurant, buy better gear, dive, catch bigger fish, repeat…

Cursed to Golf - deck building rougelike with golf mechanics

Monster Sanctuary - 2D Pokémon platformer

Resident Evil 3 - cause it was $10 and I just finished 2

Absolutely loved tunic. It's a blast going in blind.

I finished the game and immediately bought a Tunic T-shirt just so I'd remember how much I liked the game. My only piece of videogame apparel

I played the demo a while back and it seemed pretty generic. What did I miss from only 30 minutes of gameplay?

Oh man... like everything?

I describe the game as "Holy shit, I didn't know I could do that" the game.

The game is all about secrets, did you get as far as looking into the in-game game manual? It's vital, and none of it is obvious.

There's also a lot of NES/SNES Nostalgia, if you don't miss through leafing through game manuals or issues of EGM this might not hit for you as much as it did for me.

A lot of folk bounce off the game because the combat is too difficult, or because the puzzles are too obtuse. Personally I loved it though.
