I picked up Total War: WARHAMMER III and Pennon and Battle, both strategy games. I'm thinking of getting Baldur's Gate 3 as well. This should keep me busy for a while. My holiday plan is to stay home and game!

I got Life is Strange: Double Exposure. It was meh. Not super bad but had enough bugs to push it in that direction.

After that I played The Excavation of Hob's Barrow which was phenomenal.

I still haven't worked my way through the deals I got during last year's sales, and despite that I bought another dozen games on GOG this black week. So I'm trying to stay away from the Steam winter sale this year lest my backlog becomes such a behemoth it gives me uncontrollable anxiety.

  • Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
  • Expeditions: A MudRunner Game
  • Fear Effect Sedna
  • Grim Dawn
  • Keep Taking and Nobody Explodes
  • RIDE 5
  • REKA
  • Bomb Rush Cyberfunk
  • Old World
  • Atlas Fallen: Reign of Sand
  • Crime Boss: Rockay City
  • Moonstone Island
  • Inkulinati
  • Monster Prom 3: Monster Roadtrip
  • Venba

And I gifted Freedom Planet 2 to a friend.

The Winter Sale isn't over until January 2nd, so I might buy some more games before it ends. Problem is, I own most of the games on the Steam front page, so finding new and interesting games is getting difficult.

I didn't pick up any of the deep discount items but I did pick up a few items on my wishlist. I picked up Mouthwashing, WitchSpring R, Little Kitty Big City, the Nonory game collection and Okami HD. I already have the last two but I wanted them in the Steam library so I can play them on my deck.

I got 30XX and it's been a blast so far. Probably gonna keep me busy for a while.

A bunch of EA games they‘re practically giving away considering the 90% discounts (Mass Effect etc.), and a bunch of indie puzzle games (Cats Organized Neatly etc.) as well as some steeply discounted Devolver Digital games (Hotline Miami 2 etc.).

I think I paid the price of one full price game (70 bucks nowadays) for like 20+ titles, but also yet again lost the battle of the ratio of games purchased vs games played this year… Damn you, Gaben!

Now I‘ll just wait for Monster Hunter Wilds which is easily my most anticipated game at the moment and probably the first triple-A game I‘ll be getting on launch since Elden Ring.

Same here.

FYI, Monster Hunter Wilds is available on Green Man Gaming and Fanatical for -18%, taking its price down to a normal triple A price of 57€.

Divinity 2: Original Sin, because I'm 30hrs into BG3 and it's really good

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago

I envy you. I’ve got 1400 hours in Bg3. I love the game but i wish i could forget it to play it fresh again.

The beginning of D:OS2 felt like a cheat code to get more BG3 after I'd already finished BG3, but as time went on, I found that everything from RPG systems to pacing of combat/non-combat is leagues better in BG3, to say nothing of the production value that's obviously better in BG3. Still a good game, but the improvement between each of their RPGs is immense.
