I was looking at getting some roguelikes / lites (already have ToME, CoQ), unfortunately Cataclysm DDA is not on sale.

Krone Hotel at 90% off looks like a decent choice too. Then there’s Jupiter Hell, which I recently stumbled upon and looks great too.

I’d also like to get some of the FF games, though I’ve played VI, VII, IX and a bit of XII, it would be nice to revisit some of the older ones I haven’t played almost since the PSX era.

      Very hyped for this, has anyone splashed for the top end anti glare one? Is it any good?

        If you plan on using a screen protector, don’t get the anti glare screen. The anti glare causes a slight blur, and the protector will just add glare back giving you the worst of both. They make etched glass protectors that have the same anti glare effect, but if you put that on the anti glare screen you get double the blur effect.

        If you don’t mind popping your deck open, you can get the 64gb version and a 1 or 2tb drive for less than the price of the 512gb model. Watch a video on how to swap the drive first to make sure you feel comfortable. Otherwise, I think going for the 256 and getting a large SD card is your best option. The 64gb model doesn’t really have a lot of space for shaders which can’t be installed on the sd card without installing some mods.

    I’ve reached a weird sort of critical mass where steam sales no longer provide me with dopamine

    It is unlikely that Cataclysm ever goes on sale, because the steam release basically is just a donation. You can get the game for free on the official website: https://cataclysmdda.org

    There you can also donate other amounts than the Steam price.

      My wishlist has 134 games on it.

      And that’s after I bought some of the games I had wishlisted.

      Highly recommended! I picked one up last December, and I spend more time with it than I do with my desktop. I can game on the couch, in a hammock, in the car before work. It’s great!

    I received BattleBit Remastered as a birthday gift, it’s great. I hope they don’t drop Linux support.

    Other than that I might buy Bugsnax.

      After 1,5 years, they finally stopped trying to milk the Elden Ring hype. Bought DS3 too.

      Last time I played a bit via family sharing though, my saves went and got wiped after a few hours… the game says it has cloud saves but the others don’t actually work (this one neither, probably), so I’m mildly afraid. It does work great on Deck though.

          Oh. I didn’t know that.

          But, who actually would be bothered by that? Going on sale while game doesn’t fully function, that is. Like, you’re still selling the game, sale or not.

      Stardew Valley is the GOAT. I’ve bought it 4 times (one for me and my ex on Android and again for each of us on PC) and would happily buy it again because it’s worth every penny.

      I wonder if Stardew’s mods work on the Steam Deck? I’m not certain. But the game has amazing mods that completely change the focus of the game and add a ton of content.

    • Ori and the Blind Forest, after recently completing WotW.
    • GTA IV
    • Stanley Parable: ultra deluxe. Loved the first one.
    • The Beginner’s Guide

    Some local multiplayer games to play with my partner on the dock:

    • It Takes Two
    • Unravel 1 & 2
    • ibb and obb
    • Pummel Party
    • Sonic All-Stars Racing

    I also considered Hollow Knight and Dead Cells, but prefer to get games on GOG when available.

      It takes two is a phenomenal co-op experience. We did a couple of runs and enjoy the whole thing each time.

        The gameplay was good, the story is awful.

        We quit after a certain scene. It made us feel sick and we had no desire to continue. I had just recommended a friend to play it with their kids the day before and immediately told them not to.

        Just awful.

          Now I’m curious which scene you’re talking about. The storyline in my opinion was a bit shallow and at times cringy, but not sickening.

            It involves an elephant and I’m definitely not the only one who felt this way about that scene and it’s a very common thread for people to quit playing the game after this scene.

        I gave up after ~2 hours, since I didn’t enjoy driving around the world, but in that time it performed great on the Steam Deck.

    I took journey for the third time (1st time I will play the pc version, hope it’s the most gorgeous version) and the quantic dream complete collection. The leitmotiv for this summer is “chill and cinematographic games to play outside”

      You know about Abzu? Also on sale atm an very clearly inspired by Journey, has very similar energy. Even got the same composer for the soundtrack.
