    Ive been having a lot of fun with Dyson sphere. Good entry if you’re interested in factory games.

      Definitely a great game. Recently had a pretty big update adding enemies and combat that has been fun so far but you can also just disable combat mode for a chill time building your swarms/spheres

    Anyone got recommendations for cheap or interesting indie games this sale?

    I bought Touhou Artificial Dreams In Arcadia during the October sale and it is a bit of a hidden gem for fans of the old SMT JRPG games on SNES. I also picked up Lunacid but have not got that far in it, but it seems like a strong revival of the classic Kings Field games.

      Copying a comment I made on the other site;

      Recursed, just £1.67. It is a brilliant puzzle game, completely mind bending stuff about recursion and jumping into chests inside of chests while taking another chest with you so you can jump inside it…

      Wonderputt Forever - £2.20. Prettiest minigolf game, animated to excess. Less than an hour to beat unless you go for optional challenges. You may have played the original flash game a decade ago.

          The original predates mobile. Looks like Netflix have put this one on mobile. Still very good so don’t let that put you off.

        Do you know if the DLC is needed to find matches? Do people even use them? Or is it all cosmetic? I too am thinking to come aboard.

          The multiplayer is full of ultra skilled people who have played for years, so a steep curve. Best FPS campaign ever though, so I recommend it for that.

            I have found that some games like this, sometimes I do really well if only because there is such an established way to do things well that my flailing about catches people off guard. Sometimes not following meta is a shock to expectations. I’ll win by sheer incompetence.

          All dlcs are cosmetics, some give alternative models to the titans, so they don’t give any advantage, also you dont need any of them.

          If you join, good luck to you Pilot, may you soar high in your journey (be careful about Viper tho)

      I think Grim Dawn. Seems like it would be a nice medium between a spastic first person shooter and the slower pace of Divinity Original Sin.

        I’ve also been considering grim dawn for a while now. Last game I played like that was titan quest way back then.

          Personally I prefer Last Epoch. Each ability you equip has its own upgrade tree that lets you customize how it behaves.

        Grim Dawn is so good. If you have any interest, just go for it. I don’t even play many games like that, and I’ve put tonsss of hours into it now. Super underrated soundtrack too, imo.

      I ran across The Longing just yesterday. Looks unusual, fun, and chill. Seems like a good one to mess with over the holidays.

      Not on steam deck but I play it on Linux pc and ps5. One of the coolest things about it is cross save, you can save your game on pc or ps5 then continue from that same spot on the other platform.

      I played it on Steam Deck. It was great. Act 3 was a bit slow, but I didn’t mind.

      I am thinking of getting it on console so I can experience it with better resolution

        I played at release this year, but stopped midway through Act3. I need to pick it up again to finish it off.

      Some things are a bit small and apart from cutscene camera angles or really zoomed in there isn’t much detail visible on the characters. I played with kb/m inputs mapped to have better utilization of deck controls. Some low fps bits here and there but generally great.

    I picked up GTA 4 , I was going to get rdr2 cyberpunk , hogwarts and sifu if they had hit the right price but I’ll leave it for a future sale. I picked up the mass effect trilogy earlier this year for 9.99 now its cheaper. I also picked up a humble spaced out bundle too recently so I have tons to keep me busy.

    Maybe this will be the actual sale I pull the trigger on Sonic Frontiers I said I wasn’t going to spend any money on games for a while but I really sonic and they seemed to have nailed this one.
