Atomic Heart and Cyberpunk 2077 are the only two on my list that are discounted enough.
Maybe, maybe not. I’m not close to running out of unplayed games.
I played Atomic Heart on Game Pass around the time it came out and… I cannot recommend it. The actual game was really rather dreary.
CB 2077 is really good and probably worth it if you enjoy open world games like GTA, skyrim, or RDR.
Atomic Heart I have been having a hard time getting into, for all the commonly cited reasons. The game looks gorgeous and its a fun setting, but you actually spend a lot of time in boring grey hallways fighting the same robots, and the combat just isnt especially great. Performance has been real hit or miss as well (I’m on Linux through proton).
That’s reassuring! The first one has to be my fave game. I’m replaying the first one and my love for it has only intensified. I can’t play for long rn, though. I’ve been anxious lately and can only handle so much of the spooky scary stuff lol.
I’m so excited to play the second. If it’s as good as you say it is, a third game would be awesome if they put the same amount of effort into it
If I had remembered this was coming, I might have waited a little bit to see if Maze Mice was gonna be on sale. Either way, nothing I’m desperately craving to buy, so I’ll probably see if any of the games on my wishlist go on sale for a good deal
Edit:
Might wait and see what’s on sale before making any purchases considering I spent a little more than I was expecting over the weekend.
Though I might splurge if Sonic Lost Worlds is on sale for a good price. Just for mods to make movement in that game actually bearable. Trying to run only to basically be slowed to a crawl by moving left or right is painful.
If you bought Maze Mice not too long before the sale started, you might be able to get the difference refunded to you by taking to Steam Support
It’s not a huge deal. It also gives a little more to the dev, so in the end I don’t mind.
Picked up Rogue Trader, Death Road to Canada, and Doom Eternal for $20. Not bad.
Rogue Trader is excellent. Wife and I have put almost 300 hours into that one with co-op.
Oh waw we bounced off pretty hard on that one playing coop. After spending so much time in BG3, the “look at player 1 when they’re talking to someone” was a major downer. I think we spend one evening in that game. I can totally see it shine as single player, but coop - can’t recommend.
Darktide 67%, X4 at 75% and Hades 75% off are all extremely tempting. I need to start seeding the idea of buying darktide to my friends. I dont even think its worth buying any of these when im so hopelessly addicted to Beyond All Reason.
I already have Balatro, why would I need another game?
Recommend 1000xRESIST if you want a story game.
I have…
Just Shapes & Beats
Nine Sols
Smushi Come Home
CATO: Buttered Cat
Is This Seat Taken?
GRANBLUE FANTASY: Relink
Ballionaire
Pepper Grinder
Like a Dragon: Ishin!
…in my cart, but considering I‘m unlikely to get around to any of them this year, I‘ll let them sit in the cart throughout the sale and see whether I’ll pull the trigger on anything.
Nothing lol, I have bills to pay.
I have room in my budget to buy maybe one game per year, and it’s never when a sale is on… *sigh*
I used my disposable income during the year to drop money in my steam wallet. That’s how I saved for the steam deck the first time around.
Maybe none, maybe a couple; lately I have resisted sales since my backlog is so big. That being said, some of the more interesting ones on my wishlist are on sale this time around. I might pick one or two of these:
First person shooters:
- Trepang2 (F.E.A.R. homage) - 60% off, $12
- Prodeus (boomer shooter) - 40% off, $15
- Metal: Hellsinger (boomer shooter) - 75% off, $8
Indie/puzzle/chill:
- The Talos Principle 2 - 70% off, $9
- Everspace 2 - 70% off, $15
- Ultimate Chicken Horse (casual/party couch co-op) - 65% off, $5
- Spiritfarer: Farewell Edition - 90% off, $3
- Untitled Goose Game - 55% off, $9
- It Takes Two - 75% off, $10
- Kaze and the Wild Masks (2D platformer) - 80% off, $3
- The Forgotten City - 75% off, $6
- Dreamscaper (indie roguelike) - 80% off, $5
Also:
- Persona 4 Golden (JRPGs aren’t really my thing, but I hear that this is literally one of the best games ever) - 50% off, $10
- God of War - 60% off, $20
- Desperados III (isometric tactics) - 90% off, $4
- Ori and the Will of the Wisps (2D platformer) - 75% off, $8
- Sifu - 60% off, $16
Careful about persona 4, game is super homophobic and overall not nice towards minorities. If that’s a dealbreaker to you, Persona 3 or 5 are better experiences. Id argue p5 feels less like a jrpg too
Yeah it was a product of the PS2 era
I played it and don’t remember anything that isn’t typical in JPRGs. I guess you have to be able to withstand a certain amount of cringe if you’re a fan of Japanese games/anime.
No, I played quite a bit of jrpgs myself, and even my anime loving gf who usualy is okay with the usual cringe amount said that it’s just overwhelming in p4.
For context we’re trans and lesbians so it might just be that we’re more aware and concerned by the horrible moments than you.
What if I want the gays AND jrpg?
In stars and time is a wonderful queer jrpg I love a lot. No cis het character in the main cast.
Persona 3 portable has a lesbian romance scene as female MC, or just if you consider the main character as genderqueer, which they kinda are in my headcannon tbh lol.
There’s Super Lesbian Animal RPG which i’ve heard a lot of good from.
Probably nothing, as I’m already kinda busy juggling Silksong and Hades 2 with the occasional Starvaders and Splatoon 3 session. I might end up just getting Cuphead for later though, and would maybe have considered God of War or Spiderman if there weren’t so many other great games to play.
For people who haven’t played it, Ori and the Will or the Wisps is a great buy at 75% off. Probably my favorite metroidvania if you don’t count Tunic as a metroidvania.
Just to throw in a different genre, I’m currently enjoying Car-X Street, Forza racing, and need for speed heat.
Felt a bit too soon, don’t it?
Thought this happened around November.
Yeah, hurry and buy up, Gabe needs a new yacht!
Everyone in this thread: happy with what they have and got bills to pay
Me: ok cool I can actually stay under 400€ nvm the fact my backlog bigger than Beverly Hills
