Let’s share some good deals!

I haven’t really found anything, hence why I’m curious to what everyone else is picking up.

    Ended up grabbing Jupiter hell and wizordum. Jupiter hell is a Doom adjacent top down turn based rogue like. Wizordum is a retro fps of the hexen variety. Both games evoke nostalgia in different ways for me.

    I ran across a metroidvania called Feudal Alloy set in a medieval world where you and all the enemies are low-tech robots with fish bowls as heads. There’s an interesting mechanic where swinging your sword generates heat and if you’re overheated you can’t attack temporarily. You can upgrade different parts of your body to fit the situation or your play style (more armor/damage/health, slower overheat, faster cooldown, etc), and the art is nice.

    Felt like a lucky find for me because I just found out about it last week from an old vid on one of the yt gaming channels I follow (Let’s Game It Out if anyone likes watching a dude try to break games by essentially QA testing the hell out of them), and when I checked the steam sale this week it came up for under 2 bucks.

        Spoilers haha. But yeah, seems like a bit more of a casual experience from the couple hours I’ve put in so far. Glad it was like a buck fifty

      Controls felt a little janky to me, but I loved the game. I would recommend it to anyone wanting a shorter Metroidvania experience, especially if the art style is appealing to you.

    Likely nothing, maybe one title if it’s shorter and I’m done with Balatro for a while.

    Zero. I’ve too much already unplayed and unfortunately working now (sucks to be adult).

    Still playing Divinity Original Sin 2. The sale will be over by the time I finish.

      Enjoy it. If you haven’t tried dos1 yet it’s also great but a bit rougher around the edges.

      How good is it? I’m on the fence about buying it, since I’ll probably not play for a while.

    I just chip away at my list every time there’s a sale. This time I got God of War, Spiderman, Jedi Survivor, and Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen.

    DD was an impulse buy since I don’t know anything about it, but the reviews were good. It was $4.79 and I see there’s a sequel coming later this month, so that’s probably a good deal and a good time to catch up.

    But I’ll probably still be “ahh, suffering…” through Elden Ring when the summer sale rolls around…

      Dragons dogma is a fantastic game that I thoroughly enjoyed. The sequel is looking amazing so getting into the world now through the first game is a good idea

      Dragon’s Dogma is a great game that was ahead of its time when it came out. I can’t help but wonder how much of a hit it could have been if Capcom marketed it better (or at all).

          It’s incomplete in certain areas, inventory management is a nightmare, and the mini bosses in dlc areas (gorecyclops, undead dragons, wargs I think they were called) take ten minutes of healthbar whittling and they respawn when you rest.

          But the true test is whether the game is fun to play, and it is! Regardless of which class you’re playing, the game lets you feel like a badass. I’d just recommend playing with some QOL mods.

          Definitely, assuming you like the fantasy action RPG style games. Some enemies are too tough to even damage until you level up and get better equipment, so keep that in mind if you find some sections too difficult. Magic actually feels POWERFUL, more so than other games like Skyrim and Elden Ring. Even with the sequel coming out soon, I couldn’t recommend the first one more; its in my most favorite games of all time.

          Can confirm, started playing Dark Arisen for the first time yesterday myself and I am also shocked at so r of the things that were implemented in this game. Took me by surprise. I struggled a lot to get my ps5 controller working with it, as you need mods to make it visually be correct. The start is a little rough as mentioned, but just gotten past that now and it keeps getting better!

          Heck yeah, it feels very meh for the first couple hours, if you’re doing all the side quests and stuff.

          I recommend either sticking with it, or skimming through till you get to the main city (Grand Soren) and then see if you like it from there.

          I know that’s like telling someone the show gets good after the first 4 hour long episodes, but it’s actually really good and nothing has really matched it since.

          Man I’m hyped for the new game.

            Same! I’m even excited for the lack of fast travel. Which is crazy I figured I’d be annoyed. The ox carts seem fun though and I think will give the world size and depth

      Halls is great, I need to go back and check if they’ve added anything else.

        I’ve only heard good things and watched a Streamer playing it last year, and I want to play it eventually myself.

        While I generally like Souls-like games, I never got into most Fromsoft games, except Elden Ring, so we’ll see how it goes.
