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).
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.
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)
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.
Xcom 2 has been on my list for years… hit 97% in this sale, figured it’s finally time.
I recommend getting the bundle with all the DLC, slightly more expensive but very worth it esp. for the big content expansion War of the chosen.
$3.88, only about $0.50 more than just the standalone game. If the reviews are any indication, this is a damn steal!
I would say that’s a steal. I love that game, it has tons of replay ability, and a huge modding community.
Holy smokes what an incredible deal. I loved the first XCOM (which I believe is actually a remake). Gonna have to pull the trigger
If you don’t get War of the Chosen then you will be missing out on one of my most played games of all time.
There is an XCom joke in there: 97% to hit… and you missed.
Nothing. My backlog is insane
- 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.
Didn’t have time to play. Playing Atomic Hearts now and so far it is good.
Bought halo MCC for my brother, very excited to coop those campaigns. Very sad no split screen
I have so many Steam Sale games in my library that I haven’t played yet that I don’t know if I could justify buying more. My backlog is just too long. By the time I get around to playing any purchases for this dale, 2 more Steam Sales could have already passed.
I started playing each game in my library for about 10 min and then moving on. Some games catch me playing longer but otherwise I check them off as played. With recent Steam sales I’d buy 5-6 games, immediately install them all, and play each right away. Feels good man.
How the hell do you find fulfillment in that (unless they’re super small games)? I don’t think I could speedrun something like Cave Story in 10 minutes, much less roguelikes - Dead Cells, Darkest Dungeon, Balatro etc, where the gameplay loop takes hours and hours.
Finishing doesn’t matter. I’ll play something for maybe a few hours and drive on. It fills fulfilling to me. Better than never playing it. 👍
Bought DOS2 because I finished bg3 and is going through withdrawal
Dunno if it’s on sale, but Solasta Crown of the Magister is a great dnd game made by a small studio. It’s much shorter, but imo the general mechanics are really good and the use of height in combat is better than in bg3.
Also not to mention workshop support! There’re a few campaigns that come with the game already, but people can make their own and add them through the steam workshop
That looks okay. What’s with all the DLC?
As they are a small studio, they did not have the money to buy all dnd licensed content upfront (Wizard if the Coast makes it quite expensive). When the game was a success, they added dlcs for additional races/classes they could now afford.
Lost Valley and Palace of Ice add new campaigns (they are ok but I enjoyed the base campaign more).If having all the races and classes from official dnd content matters to you, I would recommend the Unfinished Business mod (you can find it on nexusmods). Personnally I played the first campaign with the limited options from the base game and I still had a real blast :)
Thanks, I don’t really have any attachment to the DnD brand so doesn’t bother me. Will go for the base game.
I hope you’ll have fun :)
It is! 7€ on steam now. I have never heard of this one but it looks awesome. Into the cart it goes. Thanks for the rec!
Edit: 9€ not 7
I’m looking at Disco Elysium.
That game is a true gem and you should definitely play it, just … don´t buy it.
If you’re looking for context about why the other commentors recommend pirating it : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGIGA8taN-M
It’s… without a doubt one of the best games I’ve ever played. Just hope you won’t buy it, publishers don’t deserve it.
- Amid Evil
- Balatro
- CrossCode
- Echo
- Creeper World 4
- Unsighted
- Metallic Child
- Dune Spice Wars
- Atomic Heart + DLC
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.
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.
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.
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 System Shock remake.
the forest, them’s fightin herds
Forza Horizon 4 Ultimate. Good deal for game and DLC bundle. Hoping it’s a chill game with the open world.
Untitled Goose Game. Wanted since it came out and cheap enough not to pass it up.
Cult of the Lamb. Let’s see what the fuss is about.
KIGHTFALL. So it’s horses with go kart phstics. Only a couple bucks. I’m in.
Cult of the lamb was fun for me! I wish you a healthy cult little lamb
That reminder that the cult is just expendable resources made me love the game. I name them after my family and friends, and after I ran out of names, started adding numbers. So sacrificing Mom 4 and Sister 5 to the Outer Gods, only to save a new cult member and naming them Mom 5 and Sister 6 makes me laugh.
I was surprised to see two games called Knightfall. Not the one you’re referring to (assuming it was a typo), is a 2D dungeon crawler, and came out in 2017, with 13 reviews.
Huh, interesting that it’s OK to have such a similar name. Maybe it’s all OK until someone complains.
