Let’s share some good deals!
I haven’t really found anything, hence why I’m curious to what everyone else is picking up.
- Sanabi
- PARANORMASIGHT
- The Eternal Cylinder
Playing Sanabi right now which is actually quite long
- Assetto Corsa Competizione with 2023 GT World Challenge Pack, 2020 GT World Challenge Pack, American Track Pack, & Intercontinental GT Pack DLCs
- Dungeon Travelers: To Heart 2 in Another World
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 got the System Shock remake.
Missing Euro Truck Similator 2 Map DLC’s :)
- Colony Ship: A Post-Earth Role Playing Game
- Pentiment
- Subnautica
- Dune: Spice Wars
- Atomic Heart
How is Pentiment, it is also in my wishlist but I have a huge list of backlog.
I loved Pentiment! I found the story really engaging and the setting felt pretty unique.
When I see Subnautica, I upvote
I have to upvote your upvote. Subnautica is one of the greatest games ever made. Gave me serious Mal de Debarquement Syndrome when I finally pulled myself away to go to bed.
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.
Warning. The game only has like 2 bosses. It uses rooms that keep spawning mobs as replacements for normal bosses.
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.
This is awesome. Thanks for the recommendation!
Been having a Metroidvania itch and currently playing Afterimage.
The new Prince of Persia is amazing
Likely nothing, maybe one title if it’s shorter and I’m done with Balatro for a while.
I can’t beat the goddamn black deck, I don’t know what’s wrong with me 😢
Broooo, that black deck is harder than the next stakes on other decks, it’s insane! I need to try again though, it unlocks a new deck and I want them haha
I’ve done it on the Magic Deck; I do think it has a lot of luck involved at the higher stakes, sadly, it could definitely do with a bit of balance or engineering to make each run possible (as Slay the Spire always seems).
There is technically an unwinnable sts seed
Zero. I’ve too much already unplayed and unfortunately working now (sucks to be adult).
unfortunately working now
Try also have some kids
I’m not a masochist, why would I do that?
No thanks
Buying a steam deck significantly increased by gaming time. The ability to immediately suspend and resume my gameplay, and not have to go over to my desktop helped a lot. I’ve played more this past year than I have in the last 3 years combined.
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.
Midnight Suns maybe, haven’t pulled the trigger yet
Just a heads up to those interested, it’s part of this months PS+ Extra too.
I’m the same. It’s sitting in my cart.
The combat and deck building is fun as hell. The story and everything else can fuck off imo lol
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).
Is it worth playing on PC today? Or should one start with two.
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.
Sounds good. Going to buy.
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
Probably nothing unless a really good deal from my wish list shows up.
I bought Project: Snowblind and E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy for a total of 3 Euros. I’ve been replaying the entire Deus Ex Series over the last couple of months and these two games are kinda similar in nature and I’ve been wanting to play them for ages.
You gain brouzouf…
Maybe Lies of P or Star Ocean The Second Story R, plus one or two “Survivors-like” (Halls of Torment, Death Must Die).
Halls is great, I need to go back and check if they’ve added anything else.
+1 for Lies of P. It’s the most Fromsoft-like game of that style not made by Fromsoft I’ve ever played. So if you’re a big Soulsebornering fan, it’s right up there with those.
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.
It’s on Game Pass if that’s of any help
