I went ahead and bought a bunch of indie games, picked up Darkchaser, Oxygen Not Included, and UFO50, and also grabbed Cities: Skylines. Got used to the launch prices of some AAA games, buying these discounted low-priced games really doesn’t hurt much.

    I have too much of a backlog of games i haven’t played yet. I did not buy anything. Friendly reminder to play your playlist before buying a new game.

      Yeah I got the steam deck in the early spring this year and am still trying to get through Witcher 3 and fallout 4. I have a handful of games I got for PC back 15 years ago on steam that I still need to work on after that

      This is truth, although i did pick up Cities:Skylines. I’ve got to get through all the other Paradox games from the time they had the bundle sale

    The only thing I care about on the store right now is the factorio dlc, and that’s never gonna go on sale. I’ll probably buy that once I finish all the achievements for satisfactory.

      Get it as soon as you can afford it. As you have already noticed, the price only goes up, and it never goes on sale. The people that made this game know that they made digital crack, and aren’t inclined to spread the addiction.

    Not on steam, but I bought Haven and The Talos Principle 2 on GoG.

    I already played Haven on GamePass a few years ago, but I wanted to own it because it’s very good (also to support the developers). As for Talos, I played the original twice and absolutely loved it, so I’m eager to play the sequel.

      I played Talos principal 2 this year and it honestly blew me away. It goes without saying the puzzles were intriguing but the story, world building, atmosphere and dialogue are the real stars of the experience.

    Absolutely nothing, like in the past like 5 years.

    Currently (re)playing all Half-Life and Portal games in order they were released.

    Deep Rock Galactic Survivor. I like to play casual games after work to de-stress a bit. Mostly tower defense games. Hoping this one will work well

      I bought that Saturday morning at full price. No regerts. In 5 days, I dumped about 30 hours into it.

        Found myself doing “tips and tricks” research already, so I think it’s safe to say I’ll be dumping a lot of time into the game

      The blue demi-human vendor in Marbule. Not the guy at the entrance, the one you want is closer to the tavern, in an alleyway. Ignore the dog fighting arenas in the area. You aren’t high enough level to take on the entirety of The Mob at one time.

      Man I’m the same. I have a couple hours screen time after work but often I’m tired an just wanna read a book.

      I’ve only just started gaming again after a twenty year gap so I’ve got a big wishlist. I get excited about games that I want to play, buy them on sale - and then don’t have time to play them.

      I started gaming when pong and space invaders were cutting edge. There’s just so much cool stuff out there these days, damn we’re lucky, I just wish I had more playtime!

    Haven’t bought yet but I’m thinking of getting Old School Rally. I played a few racing games that looked just like this when I was a child so the visuals are giving me intense nostalgia
