Raft. I'm getting reeeeeal sick of Bruce.
I went big, mostly indie games I’ve wanted to try for awhile, mainly for playing on Steam Deck
ELDEN RING, Escape Simulator, Vampire Survivors, Mini Motorways, Only Up!, The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe, Celeste, TMNT: Shredder's Revenge, Rogue Legacy 2, Ace Attorney Turnabout Collection, Spelunky 2, Super Meat Boy, Pogostuck, Persona 3 Portable & 4 Golden, Kindergarten 1 & 2
I've bought more this sale than the last 3 years combined.
Nier Replicant 1.123905814908(or whatever), Nier Automata, Dave the Diver, Raptor: Call of the Shadow and Crisis Core: Reunion.
I have Automata for the PS4 but wanted to play it on the SteamDeck.
I wasn't really interested in anything new until I saw that Dave the Diver trailer and it just clicked for me. I haven't played it yet.
Elden ring (finally!)
I grabbed Terraria and Tiny Tina's Wonderland. Looking forward to them both! Gonna boot up Terraria now, Tiny Tina's Wonderland will have to wait until some friends are free.
I got Sekiro because I'm a sadist.
Here's my decent haul. Some of them aren't really in the "Sale" as they just launched but have launch discounts.
- Control Ultimate Edition: Already own it on Epic, but was cheap enough to re-buy for easier Steam Deck play.
- Crab Champions: The meme song that become a really competent roguelike shooter!
- Dave the Diver: What if Lucasarts made a mini-game filled roguelike?
- DROP - System Breach: Sleeper hit for me. Intense puzzle/pattern recognition game with a great, simplistic hacking theme/style.
- The Entropy Centre: Big Portal vibes, but using time!
- Humanity: What if Lemmings, but you're an omniscient Shiba Inu. Plays great in VR too.
- Prey: Loved Deathloop but never had a chance to play Prey.
- Shogun Showdown: Crypt of the Necrodancer meets Slay the Spire - SIGN ME UP!
I bought Anno 1800 and am really enjoying it, it's great that they modelled it closer to Anno 1404 but still innovated
I bought about 30 games. Only ones I remember offhand are Lego Hobbit and Lego LOTR. There were many more though.
Nothing. There are better sales all year round.
Not much. I bought Sea of Thieves and the newest DLC of China: Mao's Legacy. I'm having a blast with the first one, while the latter is very frustrating but really fun anyways.
Witcher 3 and all DLC's :) it is my second time playing it and I love it as much as I did the first time
Bought Battlebit Remastered, Crab Champions, Code Vein. Already got my money's worth out of the first 2. Both shooters feel great to play and mess around in with friends. Haven't actually started Code Vein yet but having fun just making waifus in the character creation menu.
Thinking of buying Half Life Complete (better late than never), the Steins;Gate VN, and Nier Automata. Also looking for more singleplayer autobattlers like Astronarch but this genre is surprisingly small. Doesn't help that searching by the 'autobattler' tag also shows you bullet heavens (or Vampire Survivors-likes if you prefer) in the results.
X4: Foundations - though I probably won't get around to playing it til later in the year...
I only got Supraland: Six Inches Under.
Tunic, Elden Ring, Ori and the Will of the Wisps and others are still on muy waitlist, mostly because of my lack of time. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Pinned the post as long as the Summer Sale lasts. Handy overview for everyone to discuss it.
Nothing. Partially because I already have too many games between PC and Switch, and partially because the sales are kinda shit since Valve stopped doing flash sales.
I got T.A.B , Rise of the Tomb Raider, and Doki Doki Literature Club
No games (so far) because I have enough of a backlog to play but went for a Steam Deck (512 GB version because I like anti-glare and don't want to upgrade it right away) and dock. I rarely feel like playing at my desk lately but enjoy playing on my Switch on the couch, so the deck should help me work thorugh my backlog.
I wanted to pick up the Washington and Oregon DLCs for American Truck Simulator, a game I almost never play but it always there waiting for me to pop back in for one run then uninstall lol.
Also picked up Made in Abyss: Binary Star Falling Into Darkness (whew, that's a name alright) because I was just turned on to the show (which is awesome!) and wanted to play it, but full price seems like a total ripoff for such a jank niche game.
Now both are on my Deck for less then I spent at lunch yesterday, and I can get back to slowly poking at my backlog!
I'm thinking about buying a few games to play on Steam Deck, probably 2 or 3 of that list:
- Yakuza: Like a Dragon
- Dark Souls 1
- SD Gundam G Generation Cross Rays
- DJMax Respect V
- Digimon Survive
- Rivals of Aether
I resisted the temptation, as I don't have the time and space to play the 5 games I already own.
Nothing. It's the same sale for the past 5 years. I've already got anything I wanted.
Mechwarrior 5! I've always liked the series, but this one fell off my radar with an Epic exclusive deal that also had some pretty big problems at launch. It looks like it's in a good place now, though, so I'm looking forward to exploring the coop with a friend.
So far only Blasphemous, but that'll probably change. My wishlist is huge, and nothing's ever stopped me from growing my backlog before, so why stop now?
I'm a huge fan of metroidvanias, I've played almost all of the heavy hitters in recent years: Hollow Knight, Dead Cells, Ori 1 & 2, Dust, Guacamelee, the list goes on. Blasphemous seemed right up my alley despite some positive reviews with heavy caveats. I'm mostly enjoying it but I really really hate all the insta-death pits. Nice that you don't drop all your currency on death but now I've gotta walk all the way back there, avoiding all the enemies and traps, and oop I've fallen in the same pit again and turned the game off. Besides that, the difficulty is somewhere between easy and challenging but fair. Recommended while cautioning patience.
I've been getting into Warhammer lately so picked up boltgun and battlefleet gothic armada 2. Both very fun actually and definitely recommend
So far I've picked up Cassette Beasts and Nier Replicant. The former is a monster tamer game which I really enjoyed. Mechanics were fun, and the world exploration was superb. You unlock abilities for movement kind of like BOTW/Hollow Knight.
Nier Replicant has hot androids
I got
High on Life
Ys IX Monstrum Nox
Stranger of Paradise FF Origin
Toukiden 2
Tales of Symphonia
DBZ Kakarot
Lost Ruins, Ender Lilies, Halls of Torment
I got Cloudbuilt, the Deus Ex series (minus the first title,) Disco Elysium, Furi, Halls of Torment, Killer7, Lego Indiana Jones, Serious Sam 3 and The Walking Dead Telltale game.
Total was under 60 bucks. That's about 11 titles for less than the price of a new game. Steam Sale memes really didn't sugarcoat it, this shit hits DIFFERENT.
Megaquarium, Big Pharma, Bus Simulator 21.
All of them are solid.
Lumencraft
Yes, Your Grace
The Final Station
Now to actually play them!
So far:
- Metro Exodus
- Super Blood Hockey
- Zero Sievert
- Grounded
- Biped
Not on sale but also got BattleBit
Even though it wasn't on sale, I got Battlebit Remastered. It's like Battlefield but the graphics style is simpler kind of like roblox but that doesn't mean the shooting isn't as realistic. It's a cheap game and it's still early access but I feel it's going to be a pretty fun shooter as it gets worked on and improves.
Post Void and A Short Hike. Also thinking about buying either Terraria or Don't Starve Together for me and my friend, but not sure which one
Nothing
Probably nothing, there's no huge sales on anything I want.
Maybe Bugsnax as it's cheap though.
Nothing, because my PC’s hard drive died and I haven’t brought a new one yet.
Black Mesa. Been waiting to grab it before I play HL2
