What are y'all buying on the steam sale?
Let's share some good deals!
I haven't really found anything, hence why I'm curious to what everyone else is picking up.
Outer Wilds. For a few friends who don’t have it yet. I’ve already bought it a couple times.
I already own it… but it’s just that good. So good I vicariously try to relive the game by watching livestreams and Eelis’ recaps of other live-streamers.
It really is something you have to experience blind. Since the entire game progression is knowledge based and pulling threads on the mysteries until the mosaic of the story and experience unfolds is truly something you can experience once.
Heaven's Vault, Hardspace Shipbreaker, and both Subnautica games.
Heaven's Vault is a puzzle game where you have to learn to translate an unknown language. Haven't gotten too deep into the game yet, but I picked it up because I liked Chants of Sennaar, which has a similar premise. Chants is 25% off right now, so I think that's a decent recommendation
Hardspace Shipbreaker is a casual game where you break down spaceships for parts. It seemed fun, and I wanted to have something casual to balance out my library, which currently has more intense games than I would like.
Subnautica is a survival game where you're stuck on an ocean world. I'm honestly not too sure if I would like this one too much, since I'm not too much of a fan of survival games. It just seemed unique enough from the other survival games, and it had a decent deal, and it was in my wishlist for a while. So I acted a bit on impulse and bought both games (Subnautica and Subnautica Below Zero)
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…
Bought halo MCC for my brother, very excited to coop those campaigns. Very sad no split screen
I got the System Shock remake.
I got the Vampire Survivors DLC. I try not to buy Steam stuff anymore unless it's either a deep discount on something I kind of am interested in, or it's something I badly wanted.
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.
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.
Forza Horizon 4 Ultimate. Good deal for game and DLC bundle. Hoping it's a chill game with the open world.
Untitled Goose Game. Wanted since it came out and cheap enough not to pass it up.
Cult of the Lamb. Let's see what the fuss is about.
KIGHTFALL. So it's horses with go kart phstics. Only a couple bucks. I'm in.
Likely nothing, too much backlog from last sale still. I wish there was a deeper discount on bg3 though
Poly Bridge if you've played World of Goo and similar games.
- 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
the forest, them's fightin herds
Probably nothing unless a really good deal from my wish list shows up.
I'm a victim to good looking games
Way of the Hunter, just a peaceful hunting game.
I've bought Witch Spring R to play on Steam Deck while I do memory OC and testing on my PC
Hadean tactics. It's a combination of slay the spire and tft. It's sucked me in.
The only things I currently want are Helldivers 2 and Shadow of the Erdtree. Neither of which are likely to go on sale soon. 😞
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
Missing Euro Truck Similator 2 Map DLC's :)
I'm on the fence about Arizona Sunshine 2. I understand it's quite short relative to its price. I might wait for a deeper discount.
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.
Nothing. isthereanydeal wrote me there's something off on GoG.
Hidden Through Time 2 and Monument Valley 2. Just small games where I liked the first game, I‘m still far from done with my Xmas purchases so no need to go harder for me.
Despite a sizeable backlog I still bought stuff. American Truck Simulator, The Longing, and Subnautica.
Shadow Empire - best strategy game I've ever played.
Sims 3 baby!!
I bought We Were Here Too and Assassin's Creed: Valhalla.
I recommend getting critically-acclaimed game "Half-Life", it's great with mods like Action Half-Life and They Are Hungry.
I'm considering Bomb Rush Cyberfunk but I reckon it has a decent chance of ending up in Humble Choice so I may wait for that. Definitely a game I will enjoy, but I have a big backlog so eh.
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 🤷.
The only one that really grabs me is Eggcelerate for some reason.
I'm eyeing Disco Elysium but dunno if I should buy it after that whole Studio takeover drama
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.
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.
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.
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.
Have played everything good that’s out there so nothing…
