Disco elysium and hades.
Disco Elysium shouldn't be bought because the devs won't get a cent from the sale, pirate it, that's what they want you to do.
Can you cite a source for the devs requesting it be pirated? I can't find one.
Don't buy Disco Elysium. Pirate it.
The original devs got screwed over by the publisher ZA/UM. The devs actively encourage people to pirate the game so the scumbag publisher won't get to profit off what they created.
It's a great game and the OG devs want you to play it for free by pirating :>
I encourage everyone here who hasnt played Celeste to pick it up for $2. One of the goats
Thanks for the recommendation! It's not necessarily something that would jump out at me, but it seems people really like it.
My backlog has reached that point where I need to be a responsible adult and finally beat some games, so this time I'll pass.
But the PS games like Horizon: Zero Dawn are tempting.
You're an inspiration to us all. Well done, sir!
I on the other hand may have crossed the threshold where I have more games than time to live. I'd better get a move on.
no i still have a huge backlog to go through and i still have to pray i dont contract skyrimitis and play that for the 400th time
Baldur's Gate 3. Currently 20% off on steam, but I want to wait for at least 50% or something, especially for a $60 game.
I'm keeping an eye on it as well, but I'm waiting for a major price drop/bigger sale. Divinity Original Sin 2 didn't really click with me, and BG3 reminds me of it a little too much. Fantasy isn't really my favorite setting, so it may just not be the game for me.
I finally picked up Witcher 3 for like 4 bucks. Excited to start playing that. I also got Euro Truck Simulator because it was like 1.99 and seems like a chill space out game.
Witcher 3 was great even though the pacing almost lost me. I'm the kind of player who plays one main story mission and then has to complete all available side quests, before continuing the main quest. It's the reason the only Bethesda Game I have ever finished is Oblivion.
That's why I recommend people to stick with it and finish some main quests if you ever feel like the game loses yo.
The Witcher 3 is pretty good. I normally don't like a lot of fantasy games, but the Witcher and Elder Scrolls games are two that I like for some reason! I finished the whole game and both dlcs once. I started a second playthrough, but that is mostly running around and playing gwent! 😂
Both Euro and American Truck Simulator are really good games. I like to just put on a podcast or some music and drive for a while. If you find you like it, the dlc states are worth the price in my opinion. Especially since they go on sale pretty often!
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, Dying Light, and Hades. $10 a piece on Steam.
I put a ton of hours into Bloodstained RotN when it was on gamepass, but never beat it. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is a game I end up replaying every few years, so I really enjoyed its spiritual succesor back then (around when it first released), and they've only added more content (three new playable characters, a few game modes) to it over time.
For Dying Light, I love the Dead Rising series, but the moment to moment moving around is nothing to write home about. Dying Light has a focus on movement, and got a lot of good reviews, so I figured I'd give it a try.
For Hades, I've always loved Supergiant Games since their first game, Bastion, and I never picked up Hades because it was never priced low enough when I had money to burn. Now that Hades 2 is in early access, I watched some gameplay of that and the first shot up on my list to buy. I've been craving an isometric real time combat game too.
Mostly the sub $5 games since if I don't play it, its fine. Like Celeste
I already have a lot of unplayed games, so I'm keeping my list small. I also really like indies, so here you go:
These are all <$5.
And some other games I might get if I finish an in-progress game:
These are from larger studios and are at historical lows (I think). I just need to finish some longer games before I get even more.
Picked up Shadow of War. Only ever played Shadow of Mordor so interested to check it out especially given the 90%+ discount.
Finally picked up Dave the Diver.
Hey me too! Put around three hours in so far and am absolutely loving it!
Just got Stardew Valley. I'm a little reluctant to start it though- it seems like one of those games I could sink hundreds of hours into and I have a huge backlog. But I'm excited to try it.
So I've just bought a PC. I haven't had a new computer for 12 years. The newest game I've played is Subnautica (and Below Zero). I've basically missed everything from the last 15 years.
I own a few games that I haven't been able to play until now (Fallout 4, Star Wars Squadrons, Witcher 3, few others). Thinking I probably have enough games in my backlog to play those and maybe look at new stuff next sale.
I'm up to about 30 unplayed games in my Steam library. I really need to stop buying more.
Those are rookie numbers! I don't want to think about how much money I have wasted. Stay strong.
I bought like 20 games within the last year on sales and played maybe 4 of them, this time I try to be strong.
I bought Deus Ex: Human Revolution for 2.99€ and I've been enjoying it. I've always heard good things about the series, but never tried it before. Definitely feeling that Cyberpunk had some inspiration from Deus Ex.
I also bought Firewatch for 4.99€ and beat it in a day. I wasn't spoiled about the story, but I had read a bit about it. At the end of the day, I'm glad I played it, but I'm not sure that I would necessarily recommend it.
All the Deus Ex games go for ridiculously cheap and are such a great fun-per-dollar ratio IMHO.
Yes, even Invisible War, if one embraces its weird consoley quirks. XD (bias: I enjoyed it on my OG Xbox back in the day. Universal ammo is so stupid though.)
Still gotta play Mankind Divided. I hope they finish the series one day. They absolutely nailed it with the iconic aesthetic, and Adam Jensen is just so freaking cool. :)
After a while I finally picked up Parkitect. I've been having a blast with OpenRTC2 lately, and everyone says if you like Rollercoaster Tycoon, Parkitect really follows that idea.
Still burning through the old school games, but I'm excited to play this one! Especially with workshop support.
I'm waiting for helldivers 2 to go on sale but I think that's gonna take a while.
I have never played a From Software game. Sekiro is really tempting to get, because I never could see myself dodging/rolling around the big enemies and bosses. Mostly human-sized enemies and parrying sounds much more appealing to me. But the difficulty has scared me off thus far and it never went below 50% off
Think of it as more a rhythm game then a souls like, probably better you don't have to unlearn any dark souls habits
Bought Icarus and State of Decay 2 today. One was 50% off and the other 66%. I almost bought them last night. Glad I waited. Always on the lookout for more co-op games to play with the wife. Can't wait for Ark 2!
A little PSA: buying a game just before a sale, is a legitimate reason for a refund according to their Refund FAQ
Icarus looks interesting but I've been eyeing Enshrouded. My wife liked playing Volcanoids, Astroneer, Drake Hollow, Smalland, Conan Exiles, Dinkum, Palworld, and of course Stardew Valley, among others. Not sure which of those are on sale but check them out.
I just got the pack with Tunic and Death's Door. I had Tunic in my wishlist for a while and finally bit the bullet. Yay! 2 more games into the backlog!
I'm kinda offended with these deals. They were great when games were $50. Now that they're trying to charge $70, the deals are just getting prices down to the old regular price, not seeming like a deal at all to me. Now I have to be even more patient. Oh well...
Plus most sales are the same deal as past sales, and they happen often.
To be honest though, if the price of games kept up with inflation over the decades, then they'd cost like $120-200 today.
There's a Pacific Drive + Techtonica bundle I'm looking at and might grab.
Part of the problem is I'm obsessed with Satisfactory which scratches a lot of the itches Terraria did but in 3D.
Last night for $4.99 and $2.99 I got Worms W.M.D. and Worms Armageddon on Steam since I haven't played any worms games outside of Worms 2: Armageddon on xbox360.
Tried Armageddon last night and it was pretty fun. Only gripe I have with it is that I had to plug in a mouse and keyboard to my deck dock.
Have yet to try W.M.D. yet and don't know if it has an offline singleplayer player vs computer mode, but I've seen enough videos of people playing it for me to think I'd have a good time playing it.
I bought the entire spiderweb software catalogue and now I will just play spiderweb software games for the rest of my life I guess.
Dead Space (remastered, I guess?). Only played a demo version that had 5 minutes of play, way back in the aughts, and have been meaning to try it since.
