Let’s share some good deals!
I haven’t really found anything, hence why I’m curious to what everyone else is picking up.

Zero. I’ve too much already unplayed and unfortunately working now (sucks to be adult).
Buying a steam deck significantly increased by gaming time. The ability to immediately suspend and resume my gameplay, and not have to go over to my desktop helped a lot. I’ve played more this past year than I have in the last 3 years combined.
unfortunately working now
Try also have some kids
No thanks
I’m not a masochist, why would I do that?
Good thinking, I love my kids but they suck your time/energy and money like a blackhole.
Nothing. My backlog is insane
This is the way. Why would I hoard 5 more games just because there is a sale? The next one will come shortly. Only buy games you plan to play in the next 2 weeks.
- Colony Ship: A Post-Earth Role Playing Game
- Pentiment
- Subnautica
- Dune: Spice Wars
- Atomic Heart
When I see Subnautica, I upvote
I have to upvote your upvote. Subnautica is one of the greatest games ever made. Gave me serious Mal de Debarquement Syndrome when I finally pulled myself away to go to bed.
How is Pentiment, it is also in my wishlist but I have a huge list of backlog.
I loved Pentiment! I found the story really engaging and the setting felt pretty unique.
Didn’t have time to play. Playing Atomic Hearts now and so far it is good.
Inscryption. What a masterpiece!
Play The Hex next! Go in blind, and don’t mind the graphics—they’ll make sense.
It’s by the creator of Inscryption and I think it’s his finest work yet.
Hah, I even got the pack with Pony Island because it was a few cents cheaper lol! Will check it out, thanks :D
Pony island is a hoot! I knocked it out in a couple hours.
I SAVORED The Hex though. After 50-some hours of Inscryption I thought there’s no way The Hex could compare… I have a lot more play time in Inscryption, but overall I thought The Hex was fucking brilliant. Hard recommend to anyone who likes Mullins’ games.
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.
How is the dlc? I had a tough time with outer wilds. At the time I played it, I found it to be very frustrating. I needed a spoiler to get past two or three major points. But in hindsight I think it’s really an impressive game. I’m thinking about picking up the dlc, but I’m not sure about it and I don’t want to search about it to avoid spoiler.
It started off a little slow, but imo it was better than the main game. It’s both a little more streamlined and better story-wise. You probably should play the main game first
It was too spooky for me, I couldn’t finish the DLC… :(
There’s a setting to make it less scary in the menus now!
Yea… I enabled it before even trying 😬
It’s really good. Amazingly fits inside the first games story seamlessly.
It can be challenging sometimes too and I’m happy to help with soft hints if you ever find you need them
I thought you meant The Outer Wilds, and spent a solid two minutes on a routine sanity check. Hadn’t heard of this game though, so we’ll call it even 😸
If you are considering picking up Outer Wilds, by god, go in blind. It’s all about finding out.
It was a bit of a slow burner on release so I’m not surprised you didn’t hear about it. People had access to the beta years before the official release, so when it came out essentially nothing really changed and there wasn’t this big announcement.
I bought Satisfactory and Back 4 Blood for myself and Monster Hunter World for my daughter.
You have a family and you bought Satisfactory? Well I’m sure it was nice while it lasted.
Lol, I would have bought factario, but I have trouble spending that much on a game, and I would have had to buy two copies (one for partner). However first person games give her motion sickness, so satisfactory was about 1/4 the price overall. And she’s hooked on monster hunter world herself, so I have time…

And you know what sucks? I’m probably gonna only play two of them (Amid Evil and Balatro).
I highly recommend Amid Evil. I wasn’t even a big Hexen/Heretic fan, but it’s fantastic. It has the record for highest screenshots->playtime of any game I’ve played on steam.
I actually started that on Friday and the architecture of the levels is straight gorgeous. They do feel long, but they are gorgeous.
I refuse to spoil anything, but I think I took a screenshot every 30 seconds on the last map. It helps you manage to traverse every single square foot of space in the map over the course of completing it.
YEAH CrossCode!! 🥳 🥰 \ö/
I bought dune spice wars for a friend, and he seems to be enjoying it.
Thinking about Grim Dawn, anyone tried it?
Grim Dawn is the most fun I’ve had with an ARPG in years. The class system is very interesting and, as far as I know, unique to this game. Rather than just being a barbarian or necromancer or whatever other typical ARPG class you can think of, your class is determined by selecting any 2 archetypes. For instance, maybe you like being a pet class like necromancer, but you want to have a slightly more active play style than just watching your skellingtons paint the map red. So, you mix in the Nightblade (melee rogue) class at level 10. Your new, combined class is called a Reaper, and you have access to both skill trees, free to mix and match as you wish. Very interesting playstyles can emerge from creative pairings.
I am a casual player so I can’t offer any perspective on the endgame or anything like that, but if you’re looking for something to scratch the Diablo 2 itch with a fun twist on classes,you cant go wrong with Grim Dawn.
It’s actually a spiritual successor to a game called Titan Quest, which had the same dual class system. It’s a ton of fun, though pretty dated in terms of quality of life for ARPGs.
I played it for 440 hours and I still don’t feel done with it.
Amazing arpg. My only gripe is that it feels dated in some aspects, but other than that it’s fantastic.
It’s a VERY good spiritual successor to titan quest. I’ll recommend last epoch too, if you like the genre and are interested also in multi-player (it has an offline mode as well)
I have played it for a while, albeit shorter than some true veterans, and I am a little bit torn in my opinion about it. The customizations options are great and the story is cool and engaging. However, the game feels very much grindy overall and you have to win the game to unlock higher difficulty settings, which is a bit boring in my opinion. Also, the loot from some early bosses are better than what comes later for certain builds, meaning you have to return back to areas you have passed through and grind the same bosses again for better versions of the same loot that you already have, which is also a tad boring. I’ve also had some weird stuttering issues on Linux. Otherwise, great game and I recommend trying it!
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.
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and X-Plane 12. Maybe also Forza Horizon 5.
FH5 definitely worth it, especially half off. Premium edition adds a lot too
I’m also considering getting Forza Horizon 4 and Forza Motorsport. Can you recommend these?
I’ve only played Horizon 2, Horizon 5, and Forza 6 so i don’t know anything about those. I liked the ones I played though.
I’ll probably get FH4, but Motorsport is out for me, since it’s broken on Linux.
Well, I was going to buy the Star Wars Battlefront Remaster…
What happened?
it sucked. i don’t even know how you could get it wrong, but they sure as hell went above and beyond to do it
Ouch, that’s a shame.
From what I read, it didn’t even just suck, it was practically fraud. They knew how many sales they had and only stood up enough servers to support around 200 players.
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.
It’s unfair how fun Balatro is. You’d think someone would’ve thought of the concept years 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.
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)
For me subnautica is in my top 5. The survival elements aren’t very important, it’s more of an exploration game.
Subnautica is a treasure. (Despite the bugs.) I recommend playing with a good sound setup and dim lights.
Are you sure whatever it is you are doing is worth it?
Subnautica
I’ve had this game for years but I thought it was a VR-only game. Got it in a Humble bundle for cheap.
Dunno why it’s so popular all of a sudden or why it’s still $30 normally. Maybe I should try playing it.
I’ve played Hardspace and Subnautica and love them both. Solid pics.
Hardspace is really nice once you get into a good flow.
Or even just taking your time to break down the ships in ways you find satisfying is awesome.
I picked up Solasta. Pretty decent, but awfully linear with no real RPG choices. Worth $8
It’s more of a tactics game than an RPG really.
Like D&D X-COM.
I’ve never been so interested, so fast, as when you combined those two names.
It’s good, but I wish it were even more like X-COM with loads of deaths and managing a roster of heroes rather than just a small party.
Especially since BG3 has done the small party adventure thing so well.
Have a ton of games already, but I picked up Nuclear Blaze and Streets of Rogue on the cheap.
A week prior to the steam sale, got a good deal on River City Girls 2 and Mechwarrior 5 Mercenaries on Fanatical, $15 for both together.
Streets of Rogue is amazing, especially with friends. Absolutely bonkers game.
