Marvel's Midnight Suns Legenday Edition. I'm 30 hours in and LOVING it. I mean, I like XCOM, Marvel, Persona and deck-building games, so I feel like this was created for me.
It's a shame the game flopped though.
Quiet hit, perhaps? Won't really go out of date.
Return of Obra Dinn. Actually bought it from GoG sale. Heard tons of hype about it.
A quick note to set you up to possibly enjoy it best: Most of the gameplay is intended to go on in your head, as you mentally assemble clues and go and re-check things. Don't be discouraged if it takes you a long time to progress part some scene.
One of my favourite games. Great choice if you like puzzles!
I've bought more this sale than the last 3 years combined.
Nier Replicant 1.123905814908(or whatever), Nier Automata, Dave the Diver, Raptor: Call of the Shadow and Crisis Core: Reunion.
I have Automata for the PS4 but wanted to play it on the SteamDeck.
I wasn't really interested in anything new until I saw that Dave the Diver trailer and it just clicked for me. I haven't played it yet.
Here's my decent haul. Some of them aren't really in the "Sale" as they just launched but have launch discounts.
Good reviews and suggestions. Added a few to my wishlist for better sale prices later! Shogun looks like one to keep an eye on.
I bought Anno 1800 and am really enjoying it, it's great that they modelled it closer to Anno 1404 but still innovated
Elden ring (finally!)
I went big, mostly indie games I’ve wanted to try for awhile, mainly for playing on Steam Deck
ELDEN RING, Escape Simulator, Vampire Survivors, Mini Motorways, Only Up!, The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe, Celeste, TMNT: Shredder's Revenge, Rogue Legacy 2, Ace Attorney Turnabout Collection, Spelunky 2, Super Meat Boy, Pogostuck, Persona 3 Portable & 4 Golden, Kindergarten 1 & 2
Raft. I'm getting reeeeeal sick of Bruce.
I grabbed Terraria and Tiny Tina's Wonderland. Looking forward to them both! Gonna boot up Terraria now, Tiny Tina's Wonderland will have to wait until some friends are free.
I got Sekiro because I'm a sadist.
Nothing. There are better sales all year round.
Bought dave the diver, just fought first boss and game feels fun for now.
Bought Battlebit Remastered, Crab Champions, Code Vein. Already got my money's worth out of the first 2. Both shooters feel great to play and mess around in with friends. Haven't actually started Code Vein yet but having fun just making waifus in the character creation menu.
Thinking of buying Half Life Complete (better late than never), the Steins;Gate VN, and Nier Automata. Also looking for more singleplayer autobattlers like Astronarch but this genre is surprisingly small. Doesn't help that searching by the 'autobattler' tag also shows you bullet heavens (or Vampire Survivors-likes if you prefer) in the results.
Potion craft: alchemy simulator.
Fun little game so far
I thought it had the best "craft potion from various ingredients" minigames I've seen in an alchemy game in a long time. That's basically all it tries to be, it knows it, and it works. My biggest gripe is that the UI is borderline unplayable on console. My wife would LOVE this, but she's a console gamer from the couch 20 ft away, and it just wouldn't work.
I only got Supraland: Six Inches Under.
Tunic, Elden Ring, Ori and the Will of the Wisps and others are still on muy waitlist, mostly because of my lack of time. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The Steamdeck sale is tempting. I have been trying to decide if I need one (I don't need one, but that's not important).
Building off what the other guy said, you'll want to upgrade the hard drive when you can, I got the 64gb one and got two 500+ gb sd cards, but the shaders needed for the games can only be stored on the internal memory from what I've seen, and even having a few larger games installed has filled up the majority of my internal storage, to a point where I couldn't download updates for flatpacs or run some games due to so LITTLE storage. I'm going to look into upgrading my drive because it became such a problem for me
X4: Foundations - though I probably won't get around to playing it til later in the year...
Not much. I bought Sea of Thieves and the newest DLC of China: Mao's Legacy. I'm having a blast with the first one, while the latter is very frustrating but really fun anyways.
I bought about 30 games. Only ones I remember offhand are Lego Hobbit and Lego LOTR. There were many more though.
Red Dead Redemption 2. I couldn't pass it up any longer!
Avoid spoilers if it hasn't already been spoiled for you. Story mode is a masterpiece!
Witcher 3 and all DLC's :) it is my second time playing it and I love it as much as I did the first time
I got Subnautica for £8.24, original Alan Wake for £4.64 and Surviving Mars deluxe edition for £8.74. Not bad!
I bought slay the spire, i have only been able to go on 1 run which was very fun, now waiting for some peoper time off to play again.
Great game, I am very impatient though so I die a lot of times.
I reached till the end but lost to the spire. It reminds me a lot of FTL in that regard.
There's a lot of replayability even in vanilla. I've put a hundred hours in after doing it a few times and uninstalled so I could play other games!
I love that you can calculate things as you go along, and understand if it's going to come off.
Sound good, i tend to play games with high replayability value more, some of my favourites are, enter the gungeon, cultist simulator, binding of isaac, darkest dungeon and spleunky. STS was on my list for a long time, i knew i would love it!
If you want to learn how to play better Jorbs' videos are a good resource
Yes, thanks, ill check out his channel!
RDR2 and the second expansion pack to Pathfinder WOTR
Not sure if you've played RDR2 yet but if not, you're in for a treat!
I have but on the ps4, got it on sale so I could try out mods this time
Don't really see any must have deals (other than steam deck). Maybe Dark Souls III. 30 still seems kinda steep for such an old game, is it worth getting at that price?
Probably nothing, there's no huge sales on anything I want.
Maybe Bugsnax as it's cheap though.
Halo infinite, hollow knight, dead cells, and the orange box. Already played dead cells on switch a bunch so I know I'll love it (though a couple new dlc's have released since I last played, yay!). As a fan of the metroid series I'm also super excited for hollow knight.
I'm thinking about buying a few games to play on Steam Deck, probably 2 or 3 of that list:
