Let's share some good deals!

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

Over 600 games so there's not much I don't have but I grabbed that new ratchet and clank to throw at my 4090, and I got some stupid idle game I'm addicted to. Thinking of grabbing the halls of torment/brotato combo

Last summer I got one year of gamepass for free with the MS rewards program (before it was nerfed into oblivion), and I played a grand total of... Three games on it. Maybe four? Gaming doesn't excite me like it used to. It's not that good games aren't released anymore. I guess I just got older and my taste changed.

I bought Golf with Friends and gifted another copy to a friend of mine, just to spend some good time with them. Nothing else really excites me.

Despite a sizeable backlog I still bought stuff. American Truck Simulator, The Longing, and Subnautica.

The Talos Principle 2. After spending nearly all day on it yesterday, I am hooked. It really does it justice to the first one, I just wish they would release a VR version as the original in VR made the game much more intimate for me—I never played the pancake version.

Works great on my Steam Deck, too.

The Talos Principle 2. It's a cerebral, first person puzzle game by the makers of Serious Sam. The first one was amazing! One of my favorite games. The reviews make it sound like this one is at least just as good. It's not even that old and already 40% off.

Nothing for me this go round. Had to take a 30 day unpaid medical leave from work due to some health issues, and my leave started a week before the steam sale. 😂 I have bad timing, but there's always summer sale 🤷.

Not a thing.

I was starting to get nostalgic for an old game called Riddle of the Sphinx, found out there's a remaster of it on Steam...that is apparently put out by one of those shady fucking churches, so nope.

I've been playing the hell out of Satisfactory lately, I've had the game beat for awhile but I'm buying all the trophies. I want to FULL CLEAR the game in early access before the 1.0 release and I'm building up coupons for the Golden Nut.

I bought We Were Here Too and Assassin's Creed: Valhalla.

I'm very tempted to get Dead Cells' Castlevania DLC, but I haven't been in the mood for metroidvanias lately. The base game is fantastic, though, and I absolutely recommend.

I'm tempted to get Risk of rain 2 at last but have some other games I already own in the back burner so will see.

Ror2 is great and has solid mod support.

Playing Goku and Vegeta is a blast on that game.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

I like the chef robot mod myself.

So far I've picked up:

  • Dead Cells
  • Signalis
  • Owlboy
  • Starship Titanic
  • Balatro
  • BORE BLASTERS
  • Melvor Idle
  • Night in the Woods
  • Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Ultimate Edition
  • Dome Keeper
  • Pentiment
  • Blackshift
  • Ouroboros

Having a blast with Balatro to the exclusion of all else.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

I'm not going to elbow drop Owlboy, but I think you should try it within the refund window because in my opinion it's way overhyped, and does not deliver much mechanically.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Night in the Woods is an okay story/adventure game, but man the soundtrack for that game is a real earworm. Years later now and some of the town jingles still pop into my head randomly. RIP to the composer who passed away way too young.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

It's unfair how fun Balatro is. You'd think someone would've thought of the concept years ago.
