Disco isnso good. But even the devs said they would rather have it that people pirate the game bacause they got fucked over and don't make money of the game anymore.
Lot of people saying it's Meh but ones that I've been tempted by are:
ATL 53% off for Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate edition
- this passes the $60 AUD threshold which I've been holding out for
Crash Bandicoot Nsane trilogy for 90% off
Stanley parable ultimate edition at lowest price since 2023
- deals for this game have been tepid since December 2023, but this matches the ATL
honestly the only ones I picked up this year are the Crash Bandicoot Trilogy and Jurassic World Evolution 2. that's it.
I don't think it's a matter of the sale is meh but most of the stuff with deep discounts is always on sale with previous sales and thus I already picked that stuff up. You'll constantly see the same games over and over with each sale and when you participate in each sale that number of games to get great deals on becomes less and less.
I'm in the same boat, but that does mean we both already have plenty of games to play. 😅
Btw Jurassic World Evolution 2 is really great.
I purchased a bunch of dlc for Train Sim World (tsw). I only buy dlc for tsw when its on sale, save a small fortune that way.
Bonus savings if you can get one of the bundles on sale for double discount. I got £150 of dlc for about £55. Yeah dlc is super expensive for tsw but it doesn't go out of date and nor is it needed for a multiplayer mode so why rush?
Been after the expansion pack for Germany and the Preston Route for ages.
Train Sim World® 5: West Coast Main Line: Preston - Carlisle Route Add-On Train Sim World® 5: Schnellfahrstrecke Kassel - Würzburg Route Add-On Train Sim World® 5: DB BR 101 Loco Add-On Train Sim World® 5: Maintalbahn: Aschaffenburg - Miltenberg Route Add-On Train Sim World® 5: Hauptstrecke Rhein-Ruhr: Duisburg - Bochum Route Add-On Train Sim World® 5: Ruhr-Sieg Nord: Hagen - Finnentrop Route Add-On Train Sim World® 5: DB BR 363 Loco Add-On
but it doesn't go out of date
That's not necessarily true. There has been DLC for Train Simulator (now classic) that got delisted and at some point no longer worked due to updates to the game and not to the DLC making it incompatible. Then at some point a new version got added as DLC which you had to buy again to get a working train. (8448 Big Boy and 6446 Challenger come to mind)
I keep whining about the lack of new, adventurous action games and dead PS2 franchises, so I figured I put my money where my mouth is and buy Gungrave G.O.R.E.
I love OG Gungrave (wish they port it to Steam)—Overdose not so much because I found it too obtuse in terms of level design and controls.
I'm also looking at Spirit X Strike. It's too reactive for my taste, so I haven't decided yet, but I want to support the developer.
Maybe I'll grab Zone of the Enders 2 as well? I don't remember how much I liked it, gotta revisit the PS2 game first.
Fear & Hunger 1 & 2 for me among others. Stellar Blade not on sale though... I get it but... It's so expensive...
Was hoping for a discount on Spilt Fiction. Nothing so far.
Split Fiction is worth the MSRP. Ideally it’s great if you can get it on a discount, but this is one of the few games I’d pay full price for. My spouse and I loved it.
I think it's still a bit too new for that.
Anything good?
omikron nomad soul is two american dollars
that's the one that david bowie did the soundtrack for right?
Yup! Most of my wishlist is on sale.
They're gonna be in my backlog for a while, but earlier I got Kerbal Space Program 1 ( with DLC ) all for less than $15USD before tax and the Steins;Gate visual novel for something like $3.99 before tax. Would have gotten S;G Zero as well, but I am low on funds as of now.
Oooh I was thinking of grabbing Steins. I know I watched the anime several years ago and enjoyed it, but only have hazy recollections of the plot. Doing the VN seems just enough same, just enough different to be fun.
Still unemployed so I'm not even looking. If capital doesn't want to hire me, they can't have any more of my money.
Looking at how few places are hiring now compared to 2 years ago is honestly terrifying.

Just finished Tyranny and Pilliars of eternity so I'm picking up the sequel Deadfire. Checked out the price history last week and seems like it's regularly 75% off during seasonal sales so I'm pleased to see it at $10.
Love Tyranny and PoE. Think Deadfire would have been an exceptional game if there was about half as much of it, but even as an epic RPG it does go on. Ten bucks for 'three big games' of content is a steal, though.
It isn't that 'successful game has a better-funded sequel that loses the magic due to feature creep' is exactly unheard of - it's a tale as old as time. But Deadfire was a sales disappointment, which it probably wouldn't have been if they'd only spent half as much making it, and so we won't be getting a PoE3 :-(
For whatever it’s worth, I never finished it, as an avid crpg fan. It’s not the hours it takes, it’s the constant feeling that you’ve got so much to do but no real idea where to start, or where to go, or what to do. If it was a world map with clickable places, like the original baldurs gates or even the somewhat intimidating but still much more digestible owlcat’s pathfinders style “railroad” experience, it’d been much nicer. But the free map to roam just makes both decisions harder, and also the seashell collector inside me awaken and suddenly I have to explore each pixel of the map in case I miss something, which is very exhausting on top of the already exhausting freedom.
Bit meah honestly
Been mid for a few years now, in my experience. Most of the games I bought over the past two years I did outside of the Summer sale because most discounts are all the same anyway.
I've been eyeing Okami and it was 50% last week and it's 50% again now.
I pulled the trigger on The Wonderful 101 in March at 55% and I was worried I'll regret it in the Summer sale… it's 55% again.
Been also eyeing Lost Judgment… 70% in March and 70% again now.
gmg and fanatical still cheaper for most titles.
that said I’ve been trying to load my steam wishlist for like an hour now.

I wish Expedition 33 was more than 10% off. I get why, but still.
My wishlist has some sub $5USD games so I'll probably drop 20 or so. I really don't need the extras though. According to SteamDB, I've only played about 41% of my 714 games - and that doesn't include all the GOG and free Epic/Amazon games I've snagged over the years.
Expedition 33 is often high discounted on instant gaming.
It's 40% off now https://www.instant-gaming.com/en/17015-buy-clair-obscur-expedition-33-pc-steam/
Kerbal space program at $4 is such an insane deal.
I get the gist of this game. Build some rockets with lifelike physics, right? Do you think it’d be fun on steam deck?
I have no idea how vehicle construction would work with a joystick, but other than that should be basically the same. Flying/landing might even be better on controller. It also has a native Linux client that isn't just a shitty port.
KSP1 is the bees knees and the modding community is still going as strong as ever. Still worthwhile even at full price.
Still mad that they fucked up KSP2. I realize it was a different studio, but I'm not happy about it.
Let's hope for Kitten Space Agency then! It has dves and modders from the first and second games in its team.
Finally picked up a legit version of Rain Word, yay!
All of the Batman Arkham games are bundled for $9 too. With season passes and dlcs.
Major let down Kingdom Come 2 is only 10% off. That's just taking tax off and nothing else.
4mo out I wouldn’t expect a deep discount off the bat.
