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.

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

[–] Kalabasa@programming.dev 8 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Same. The critical mass being the amount of unplayed games...

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.

Satisfactory.

Seems neat so far.

My entire wishlist is on sale, so pretty much everything!

[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 9 points 2 years ago

My wishlist has 134 games on it.

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

[–] philz@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] SSUPII@sopuli.xyz 15 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Likely, tje Steam Deck itsself

[–] Underwaterbob@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

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 think I'm going to pick up control.

I've been toying with the idea for a while now and 75% off is really hard to argue against.

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"

Ordered the steam deck. Pretty excited about it. Also been looking at Dark Souls 3, and R-Type 2.

I’m grabbing Nier Automata finally. I have it on disc in ps4, but my ps5 is digital only. So it’s going to be great to play this absolute classic on sd

  • 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.

I bought Subnautica and ended up playing it all day

[–] ttimebomb@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm jealous. Wish I could play that for the first time again.

left 4 dead 2 and team fortress classic. I really love valve games and they are both fun games to play!

[–] CTLA4@vlemmy.net 7 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Necesse. It's like top-down Terraria with colonists that organize your chests for you. Great early game content, anyway.

FF games are a solid choice. The Pixel Remasters have been very well received and anything that makes the early games more approachable is a solid win in my book. That said, I personally found the 3D version of FFIII (actual 3, not 6) to be phenomenal.

I’m going to try out Pizza Tower, my first new platformer in a long time

[–] ScreaminOctopus@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago

Played through it a couple months ago, I felt like a kid playing warioland 4 again. Amazing game. If you're a completionist it'll last you a while, max ranking the stages is super difficult

ATS and ETS are such chill games. Nothing but endless roads and your foot on the pedal.

I finally picked up Subnautica and its sequel. Really liking the game so far, though I tried to play it twice on Hardcore and ended up forgetting that I need to breathe both times, lol.

I only bought games I plan on playing on the Steam Deck. Those are:

  • Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition
  • Mark of the Ninja Remastered
  • RimWorld
  • Rune Factory 5

Never played any of them before.

Last night I picked up: Hollow Knight, Deus Ex Mankind Divided, Monster Sanctuary, Pillars of Eternity, Guardian’s of the Galaxy, Journey to the Savage Planet, and a Vampire Survivor DLC. Not bad for ~$60.

Probably gonna pick some more out for an even $100 lol Cult of Lamb is high on the list.

Just now I got three low-priced titles: Verlet Swing | Levelhead: Platformer Maker | Solo

I'm not looking to buy anything specifically. I'll probably check my Steam wishlist at some point with low price and high discount filters and decide if I want anything else.

I don't need anything new though. My library backlog with unplayed great games is big enough.

Picked up Darkest Dungeon, these rogue lite turn based games seem to work the best with steam deck

[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The Entropy Centre and Risk of Rain 2, bought more but those are the two I'm gonna play first.

[–] Evolushan@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Ror 2 is such a treat

[–] fennec@feddit.de 5 points 2 years ago

I got Lake and The Long Dark, both of which had been on my wishlist.

[–] the16bitgamer@programming.dev 5 points 2 years ago (6 children)

Didn't get it on Steam but it is deck compatible (and on steam), The Outer Worlds. Nice no nonsense Fallout Stylus RPG, without the Bethesda jank
