I picked up Total War: WARHAMMER III and Pennon and Battle, both strategy games. I'm thinking of getting Baldur's Gate 3 as well. This should keep me busy for a while. My holiday plan is to stay home and game!

I wish I could play through it again with fresh eyes. I've played through it 3 times. Enjoy.
Finally playing Battlefield 1 and Battlefront 1, cause $3 is a good price to wait for. Only for the single player. I don't care about multi-player. Streamed from my PC to Steam Deck is great.
Also went for BG1! Seemed like a really good deal.
Nothing. Everything its too expensive in argentina now
Newest creaper world
Did they release a fifth installment?
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2257010/Creeper_World_IXE/
I've watched a couple gameplay videos by the dev and it looks good.
I bought it and I'm a bit disappointed, it scratches the creeper itch a bit but it kinda does away with the creeper world formula of making massive bases
I didn't pick up any of the deep discount items but I did pick up a few items on my wishlist. I picked up Mouthwashing, WitchSpring R, Little Kitty Big City, the Nonory game collection and Okami HD. I already have the last two but I wanted them in the Steam library so I can play them on my deck.
Spiritfarer: Farewell edition, Celeste and Stardew valley.
a few games i pirated earlier in the year, heh, and Pathologic 2, Lunacid (as of a few seconds ago), Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 (to check out the openrct2 mod), dwarf fortress, & Odallus the Dark Call.
I got
- Nightmares I and II
- Firewatch
- Never Alone
I don't remember if it was on sale, but I got 10 Dead Doves on a whim and I'm not dissapointed so far.
Wayfinder, Gothic and Blades of Time so far.
I got Life is Strange: Double Exposure. It was meh. Not super bad but had enough bugs to push it in that direction.
After that I played The Excavation of Hob's Barrow which was phenomenal.
I ended up getting Metal Gear Rising: Revengence, Sonic Adventure 2, Prey, Daemon X Machina, and Dragon Age 2. I have no regrets in my eclectic sale impulses hahaha
Dragon Age 2 is a bit ooof. Excellent combat, but the story and especially the scenery... you revisit the same parts of town and the same dungeon over and over and over.
DA2 has a solid story and very well written companions. I can understand it is too different from the first game for the fans of DA:O. Full disclosure; I didn't know there was a prior game and DA2 was my entry to the franchise and I love it to pieces.After playing DA:O, it made Hawke's story even more meaningful to me, since Hawke was one of many refugees who just did everything in their power to keep their family alive and well. We played through seven years of that struggle. It's a pretty special game to me.
Veilguard marked a new low in every game aspect of a DA game, so I now consider DA2 a masterpiece, considering it was developed in just 2 years. After the empty world of DA:I, I've come to realize, I'll take reused assets with well written stories and characters any day.
DA:I companions were well written mostly, but there were so many of them and I guess I have a bandwidth of how many companions I'll care about in a game and that's not many (cue Iron Bull betrayal because I forgot to complete his companion quests)

Neva and Plucky Squire. Oh and Islets.
I got:
Saints Row 2022 Not actually that bad honestly. I think we were too harsh on them. It's still fun, the characters are likeable, and it's got all the stuff you expect for a saints row game.
CP Phantom Liberty Not gonna be able to get this played for a bit but I'm hopeful.
Anemoiapolis I like backrooms and I got Pools a few weeks ago but got kind of bored so hopefully this one is better since it has actual puzzles.
I'm spoilering these. You know what that means. Don't fucking @ me.
spoiler
Mage Kanade's Futanari Dungeon Quest
Midnight Castle Succubus
Tower and Sword: Succubus These last two are part of a series, and I already played Castle in the Clouds. Even without the porn it's still a competent side scroller action platformer so I have good hopes for these two.
Might get more idk.
Thaumaturge. Very atmospheric I think. Also, I think the setting is quite fresh, and I think that should be rewarded.
I bought a few, but the one that got me was Microsoft flight simulator 2020. It looks amazing in VR.
I recently learned about "From the depths" because of Martincintopants Video about it. Yesterday evening I saw, that it was 50% off and bought it immediately.
