I picked up Total War: WARHAMMER III and Pennon and Battle, both strategy games. I’m thinking of getting Baldur’s Gate 3 as well. This should keep me busy for a while. My holiday plan is to stay home and game!

I bought a few, but the one that got me was Microsoft flight simulator 2020. It looks amazing in VR.
Grabbed the mass effect series for under a fiver. Played for a few hours and realized I was not enjoying it at all.
Finally got Tunic. I’m pretty happy 6 h in!
Nothing. It was a difficult choice, but it was a necessary sacrifice in favor of the games, collecting dust in my library :*-)
Stardew Valley and Cyberpunk. Never played either one, but I’m starting with Stardew
Divinity 2: Original Sin, because I’m 30hrs into BG3 and it’s really good
The beginning of D:OS2 felt like a cheat code to get more BG3 after I’d already finished BG3, but as time went on, I found that everything from RPG systems to pacing of combat/non-combat is leagues better in BG3, to say nothing of the production value that’s obviously better in BG3. Still a good game, but the improvement between each of their RPGs is immense.
I have to say I very much prefer the combat system in OS as it feels much more natural and less restrictive than the DnD combat in BG3. Of course the latter has far more content, but I’m looking forward to Larian’s next game where they can finally go wild again and do things they want exactly the way they want.
I felt far more restricted by D:OS2’s armor system. Freeform classes sound great on paper, but it also means you kind of naturally end up at a spot where you’ve got everything instead of making meaningfully difficult choices in classes or multiclassing. Learning abilities from books leads to a lot of money bottlenecks and leveling decisions that I didn’t care for. The way that the combat usually doesn’t have any chance to hit, but then does very occasionally, makes missing an attack feel like bullshit rather than a calculated risk. I’m also looking forward to whatever they do next, maybe even a sci-fi interstellar RPG, but I hope they don’t go back to the Divinity well too often for RPG mechanics.
money bottlenecks
Laughs in Thievery Skill
I envy you. I’ve got 1400 hours in Bg3. I love the game but i wish i could forget it to play it fresh again.
Tactical Breach Wizards. It’s a nice little puzzle game with some dry humor that ive actually chuckled too a few times. Its a lot of fun so far.
Firewatch
Outpost Infinity, Executive Assault and something that was cheap and on my wishlist for a long time, totalling BRL 89 (~15 dollars)
I don’t use steam too much, but I did get Minishoot Adventures, and it’s excellent.
It’s like if Zelda was a bullet hell. The base difficulty isn’t too hard, but it’s challenging enough. And you get to explore and do dungeons. It’s really fun.
Thanks for the recommendation! I hadn’t heard of it before but bought it on sale today. Looks pretty good and I appreciate they have options for people who suck at bullet hell games 😆
You’re welcome!
When you die in this game there’s no real penalty other than going back to the last checkpoint. So even if you leveled up or something you keep that, you just might go back a few screens. It’s great!
Oh that sounds right up my alley! Looking forward to this on the Deck
It’ll be perfect on that!
I ended up getting Metal Gear Rising: Revengence, Sonic Adventure 2, Prey, Daemon X Machina, and Dragon Age 2. I have no regrets in my eclectic sale impulses hahaha
A bunch of EA games they‘re practically giving away considering the 90% discounts (Mass Effect etc.), and a bunch of indie puzzle games (Cats Organized Neatly etc.) as well as some steeply discounted Devolver Digital games (Hotline Miami 2 etc.).
I think I paid the price of one full price game (70 bucks nowadays) for like 20+ titles, but also yet again lost the battle of the ratio of games purchased vs games played this year… Damn you, Gaben!
Now I‘ll just wait for Monster Hunter Wilds which is easily my most anticipated game at the moment and probably the first triple-A game I‘ll be getting on launch since Elden Ring.

The Winter Sale isn’t over until January 2nd, so I might buy some more games before it ends. Problem is, I own most of the games on the Steam front page, so finding new and interesting games is getting difficult.
