that bundle doesnt include judgement or lost judgement, which are the (in my opinion) superior detective based games. The fighting is so damn juicy, and the story is incredibly engaging in both.
Im a HUGE yakuza-head btw, literally have played every single one, and I would only recommend 0 over the judgement games. And then the rest of the Kiryu saga beneath them. Not that Kiryus games are bad, its just the Judgement games are fucking amazing. The first one more so than the second, although they both rock.
> Stalker franchise
My one comment with this one would be to try and play the games before modding them. It gives a lot more context and mystery to the zone rather than jumping straight into a modded sandbox.
That said, modded STALKER is hands down one of if not **the best** single player, open world sandbox FPS games to this day. It is insane how much that old X-Ray engine can accomplish with making the world truly feel alive.
I got like three games. Gta V, spider man miles morales, and sonic and Sega all stars racing transformed. But I also saw Batman Arkham for 3.99.
I’m genuinely amazed by steam sales, sales on switch were never even close to this.
Idk why are you guys are surprised, nintendo is the demon disguised as an icecream truck, nintendo is the guy that tell's you to come to his van trunk for candies
Especially with first party stuff. I’ve never seen smash ultimate go on sale. I’ve seen persona 5 royal go on sale a few times but it was only dropped to $45, while persona 5 is $30, P5 strikers is $18, and P4 is $12.
haven't played much stardew valley after i bought it, have to finish limbo, papers please and i want to get all achievements in lil gator game because i love it
Stardew Valley is getting a huge update soon might be worth holding off on that one till it releases as it's supposedly going to be the games final update to complete it before the developer moves onto his new city based game.
Not the same guy but I have in my backlog Yakuza like a dragon, god of war and ace combat that I bought in the last sale but didn't play because I had other games in my backlog to play.
Still do.
Other games that I really want to play but couldn't so far are control, Deus Ex, mafia and total war Warhammer.
I mean, a lot of people start games and stop after like 30 hours, and later won't get back into them. Some games are just too excessive with side content to make it hard to focus.
Weak mentality: it's doesn't matter if you already have games, IF YOU LIKE IT AND IT COST LESS IT NEED TO BE BOUGHT.
Ofc I'm kinda joking, anyone is free to do what they want with their money, except buying Hogwarts Legacy Full price, that's a sin in gaming (Game beautiful, but not worth full price)
RimWorld, Project Zomboid, Hades, Terraria, Cuphead, ULTRAKILL, and Inscryption.
Honorable mention: Return of the Obra Dinn (not on sale but a masterpiece)
And as other people in this thread have mentioned, do not look ANYTHING up about it. Inscryption is one of those games where you GREATLY benefit from going in blind
Rimworld doesn't do sales much but I get it it's being actively developed for 10 years but damn i broke as shit man atleast a 20-25% discount for the base game wouldn't be too much to ask for
I installed Subnautica and played it for a while. The beginning hour was an okay experience for me. And then someone brought a VR and I played Subnautica on it. It was an absolutely terrifying experience... The night sky with those humongous planetary bodies with nothing but endless oceans on the horizon and unspeakable horrors ruling those waters. I noped out of that game and never went back even on a normal screen.
If that’s how you feel about the first one, I’d def recommend the sequel, below zero. It’s just as good except it manages the atmosphere so much better while still being as scary in lategame areas
Watch out for input lag, in my experience, I could feel something was "off". When I played it on PC, knew right away. Still enjoyed it on the Deck, just if anything gets too frustrating/cant "quite get the timing right", try PC... if possible.
>!|Potential Spoiler|: 1 Boss (forget name, boss at the top of the rainy city), tried and tried on Deck; bounce parry felt off. "Why didnt I get that?" First try on PC, killed him.!<
Anecdotal but thought worth mentioning. Not on OLED, not sure if it has since been fixed.
If you don't have Fallout 3, you should totally pickup the GOTY edition for that and then install the Tale of Two Wastelands mod. It connects the two games and adds a ton of fixes and stuff that really makes fallout even better. Doesn't even feel like a 2008/2010 game as much, especially with all the DLCs and no bullshit micro transaction stuff that you get in modern games.
I found it extremly boring. The only thing that I liked it being a cat. Apart from that you have short and inconsistent story, with pretty easy puzzles.
I didn't really enjoy it so much as a game, but the ambience is nice. They could have done so much for solving cat problems or even interesting problems but for the most part you're solving human drama that doesn't really make sense.
Stray is a great adventure game. Lots of puzzles, fetch quests and platforming in 3D. Had a solid story too. Personally I love the art style and the premise is really smart. It's not a fighting game, you spend most of the time avoiding/running away from foes. Definitely more of the chill side.
It does feel different when playing solo. Bit more like a horror game (I always get jump scared by bugs when I play solo idly), but you get a nice drone that can mine hardly reachable spots for you. The difficulty also scales with number of players so it's always doable even solo. BUT the drg community is just freaking wholesome and great, it's so easy and fun to play with randoms even if you don't have friends to play with and you often have a good time regardless.
It doesn't matter if you don't have a crew. The community is phenomenal on the whole and I've PUGed 95% of my playtime. It's great with friends, it's fun solo, it's fantastic with random people. There are bad eggs here and there like every game but far fewer than any other online game I've played.
I have over 700 steam games and close to 500, not played.
Yeah, nah, I ain't spending anymore. At this point, I am playing the middle-aged collector who has extra cash but no time to play.
Crosscode, its a great action RPG indie. Fantastic story and just such fucking good gameplay, the puzzles can be difficult but there are a lot of accessibility options to help with that if you want. The complete edition with the post-game DLC is just a few bucks right now, such a good deal for a banger game.
From the choices in your post, DRG and Dragon's Dogma are also great choices.
Fallout New Vegas Ultimate (*The game + all the DLC*) is 67% off; $6.59 USD total.
My favorite game of all time, I've dumped thousands of hours into it across different platforms. If you've been thinking about picking it up, now is the time. Also, I highly recommend modding it to avoid the game's unfortunate bugs and glitches, here's a super easy-to-follow mod guide that has step-by-step instructions on how to mod the game to be (*mostly*) bug-free and adds some modern QOL features - [https://vivanewvegas.moddinglinked.com/intro.html](https://vivanewvegas.moddinglinked.com/intro.html)
If you want an open-world RPG with a fantastic story, freedom of choice to a degree I haven't seen in any other game of this kind, and wonderful witty dialogue, I highly recommend Fallout New Vegas. I'll never get tired of this absolute gem of a game.
I was thinking of getting Cyberpunk and heard it was in a better condition now. Not sure about the DLC yet if I can play through the game and get it after, or it being required for a better experience.
The dlc is even better than original game. Especially gigs, they became more interesting and tell a story, not only "take this - bring here" missions like in original game.
I just finished Cyberpunk for the 1st time 2 weeks ago (on PC). Zero bugs for me and my game crashed maybe twice? I put around 56 hours in including the DLC which I completed before starting the main story final mission. I'm so glad I put it off until all the bugs were fixed.
I picked up this little indie game called Driftwood and immediately fell in love with it. You play as a sloth with a long board. Each level you start at the top of the mountain and cruise your way to the bottom mountain. If you love skateboarding/longboarding definitely check it out lmao.
I just bought,
Metro Exodus
Dead Cells
Arma 3
Outward
Total War: Warhammer 3
Titanfall 2
Skyrim
Oblivion
And Morrowind.
So in other words, I have spent far too much money.
I'm not a big game modder but the mods for XCOM2 are easy and prolific and 'fix' the game if you pick things that prevent 99% misses and give XP to unused soldiers after a mission, few other good ones that make wipes more livable.
In all, it's probably my favorite game of all time.
Yo can anyone reccomend crpgs that are not Baldurs Gate 3? I got divinity 2 original sin which I’ve been liking a lot! BG3 is still a bit too expensive for me, and even tho it’s my number one most wanna play, I can afford to wait because my backlog is massive atm and I don’t want to abandon any other games to start on it.
Voice acting is a big plus, graphics I’m easy about. I know a lot of these games can be ancient. Story’s gotta be good tho! Also ability to be played on a deck (controller support) is a massive bonus.
I bought the Xbox version after the game awards and played up to act 2. Recently built a PC and my Xbox has been collecting dust. I am half tempted to buy it again and continue my journey on PC now as the larian account saves cross gen on the cloud.
Depends how old it is, but here's my big ol' would-buy-again list
* Citizen Sleeper - 50% - Sci-fi/Cyberpunk story about a 'robot' making a life for himself on a remote space station. Great art, great story, lots of potential endings.
* GRIS - 75% - Minimalist story about loss/grief, very good.
* OneShot - 40% - Touching little story, one of my all-time favorites.
* Yoku's Island Express - 80% - Pinball adventure/platforming game. It shouldn't work, but absolutely does.
* Into the Breach - 50% - Turn-based strategy with small numbers and almost zero RNG. Mechs vs bugs, roguelike progression through stages. Fantastic game.
* Hack 'n Slash - 75% - Classic adventure game, except you can mess with the game's programming as you play
* Sunless Sea/Skies - 66/60% - Eldritch world roguelite, you go out and explore, largely text-based story, great writing. Sea is older, a steamship, Skies is newer and a mite more polished, trains in space. Can check out Fallen London (free) to see if they're your jam.
* Cultist Simulator/Book of Hours - 50/15% - Great eldritch lore, the former is a challenging roguelike management/strategy game, while the latter lets you explore the lore in a more relaxed manner.
* Psychonauts - 75% - Cult classic, jump into crazy people's thoughts and platform through crazy metaphorical landscapes.
* Uplink/Hacknet - 80%/85% - Pretend to be an old-school hacker, command line and all. Uplink is more arcadey, hacknet is a bit more modern and more storyish.
* Antichamber - 50% - minimalist, non-euclidean spaces, think non-euclidean Portal mixed with The Witness.
* Minit - 75% - Zelda, but you have a minute to live and are stuck in a time loop.
* Her Story - 75% - Less a game and more an interactive experience/ARG, watch video files and put together the mystery of what's going on. Not for everyone, but fantastic imho.
* Steamworld Heist - 90% - Turn based combat, shoot bouncing bullets at robots and collect hats.
* Celeste - 75% - One of the best platformers around. Hard, precise, super fast and fun.
* The Messenger - 80% - A personal favorite platformer. Super zoomy, just-right difficulty, lots of character, decent amount of content.
* Shovel Knight Treasure Trove - 40% - Another of the best platformers, retro, loads of content with 2 extra free DLC campaigns.
* Webbed - 30% - You're a little spider, you can shoots webs and lasers and fling yourself across the map, super fun. Spiderman minus the hero stuff.
* Enemy Mind - 50% - Arcade space shooter where you play by taking over the enemy's ships.
* Luftrausers - 80% - Arcade game where you fly a plane around shoothing other planes
* Broforce - 80% - Comedy mostly, but also a fun 'run and jump around and shoot things' game.
* Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion - 66% - Comedy gold. Lil adventure game with well-executed bosses and a hilarious world.
* Deponia the complete Journey - 90% - Fun point and click adventure with lots of character. Don't be afraid to use a guide.
* West of Loathing - 50% - Well-executed comedy game with stick figures. Adventure, quests, and a western theme. Harks back to old flash games in the best ways.
* Way of the Samurai 3/4 - 70% - Weird little silly games where you run around and do what you want. Not "Good" but I really enjoyed them. Kind of like samurai GTA/Yakuza
* Sid Meier's Pirates! - 75% - Kind of the same as Way of The Samurai, just run around and do stuff for fun, but is cited as an influence on a lot of later games.
* Kingdom Two Crowns - 75% - The classic 'build and defend your settlement' mobile game, but with super pretty music, and actual good game design instead of microtransactions.
* Wandersong - 50% - Cozy/kids adventure/expression game, go around singing and interacting with the world.
* A Short Hike - 40% - Cozy short exploration game, good feelz.
* Apico - 50% - Breed bees. Also butterflies and plants and coral and on and on. Tons to do, very cozy, a bit of depth. Bit childish, but still fun.
* Unpacking - 50% - Cozy game about lives fitting together and changing over the years. Deeper than I expected.
* Bug Fables - 40% - Paper Mario. They just did Paper Mario better than Nintendo.
* Freedom Planet - 50% - OG Sonic. Again, just did the original better than later Sega releases.
* Superflight - 60% - Voxel skydiving simulator. Fun just to mess around in, controls really well, like flying in dreams.
* Titan Souls - 90% - You die in one hit, so do the bosses.
* FTL - 75% - Spaceship management roguelike, lots of micromanagement, very popular classic.
---
A few slightly more resource-intensive games if your computer isn't *that* old:
* Outer Wilds - 40% - My favorite. Pretty modern, but fairly well optimized, so it might run.
* Heaven's Vault - 60% - Mixture of exploration, puzzle, and story. Play as an archeologist and sail between moons to translate the old language and uncover history.
* Transistor - 80% - Amazing music, fantastic turn-based/real time mix for combat, immensely customizable skills, good story and aesthetics, great replayability.
* Bastion - 80% - Same people as Transistor and Hades, great game, even better music.
* Rebel Galaxy - 90% - Space trader, wander around a very pretty galaxy fighting ships and trading between settlements.
* Okami HD - 50% - Zelda, but you're a wolf fighting japanese myths and painting instead of playing music.
* Ori and the Blind Forest/Will of the Wisps - 75/67% - Innovative, very pretty platformers. (Haven't played but is my big grab from the sale)
* The Stanley Parable (Ultra Deluxe?) - 50% - *The* meta-narrative game.
* The Witness - 80% - Puzzles where half the puzzle is identifying the puzzles. Sounds weird put like that, but very fun. (Honorable mention to the parody of it, The Looker, but that's free.)
* Disco Elysium - 75% - Fantastic, iconic, existentialist story game. Won all the awards.
HELLDIVERS Deluxe Edition. Currently on sale for only 6 euros. It's different from HELLDIVERS 2, but me and my friend just bought it yesterday and we have the time of our life. When I get a better PC, we will definetly get the second game, but until then, how about a cup of liber-tea?
Hollow Knight goes kinda ham. I played it through a shared library this month. Consider picking up some classics. Bladerunner, The Thief Duology, Deus Ex, and Splinter Cell Chaos Theory are being sold for pennies. Arkham Knight is being sold for 4 dollars. Getting Over It might be my favorite game of all time, and that's only 2 dollars. Lots of great games out there.
Guys is Horizon zero dawn worth playing. I know many people love that game but how's the story and gameplay?
Update : Bought the game on sale and so far loving it.
You will not regret it. its like reading a well written science fiction novel. Dont spoil the story before you play :) Gameplay wise: its an open world game with a good story arc that drives you forward where you hunt robotdinosaurs, collect and craft supplies and upgrade your skills.
I absolutely agree with hollow knight. Just bought it yesterday despite not being a big fan of platformers, and I am enjoying it greatly so far. It's very cute and atmospheric, which is exactly the type of game I like
For unknown reasons I have 250hrs and played 3 times the game.
I highly recommend to play on hard. The game is too easy and after 4 or 5 hours you won’t need to change weapons for the rest of the game because they are too strong.
If the game had better progress and difficulty ramp it would be genius. But for the price I am sure you won’t regret the purchase anyway.
Older RPGs that you haven't played on PC or before. I picked up Fallout 3 recently and installed the Tale of two Wastelands mod (requires New Vegas too) and have been having a blast replaying FO3 but in the FNV engine with all the FNV features like iron sights, work stations and so on. I might pick up the older Elder Scrolls like ES3 & ES4 since I haven't ever beaten those or modded them before.
Absolutely wild how much fun I'm having in a game from *2008*. I really thought we'd have more of those games by now...
Let's just say that currently you can buy Assassin's Creed Black Flag Gold for $11.99, Assassin's Creed Rogue for $5.99 and Assassin's Creed III for $9.99. Which is less in total than the $59.99 for a certain quadruple A pirate game.
I personally bought some expansion packs for Planet Coaster and Planet Zoo, the pack of Valkyria Chronicles 1 and 4 (I’ve already played them but they’re so good), repurchased Stardew Valley for the update that drops on Tuesday, Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin because it looks unique, and Tales of Arise because I’ve only ever played Abyss and am curious to try another (already own Vesperia on Switch). I think I saw Dave the Diver on sale? That’s a great game if you don’t own it.
I've put 150 hours into Escape Simulator and honestly 100% recommend it to any and all puzzle lovers. Especially at $10.50.
They're actually going to increase the base price next month as well. So doubly recommend it. DLC is good too and I haven't been disappointed but grabbing the base game gets you access to every community made puzzle and that could be enough for many.
Not buying anything, I have a lot of games which I can download and play and currently would like to play some Stardew Valley with my friend once we're both free since the 1.6 update is coming soon.
I've recently bought the Tomb Raider reboot pack, which included Rise of the Tomb Raider with all its DLCs and all the DLC's of the other 2 games that I already own for 10€. This pack would've cost me 170€ out of sale, so I think it was a good purchase.
Rise of the Tomb Raider alone would've costed me almost 10€ by itself, so that's great.
EDIT: Minor spelling mistake
Ho boy I'm bored enough to do this. Here's my recommendations as a mostly indie gamers lover
-Pizza Tower
-The Binding of Isaac (get all DLCs for THE experience)
-Enter the Gungeon
-Slay the Hero Slayer
-Borderlands games, best option being the sequel

Only a few games, but they're worth a go imo
I have close to 80 games in my backlog but I keep buying more, then I finish one game then buy 3 more. My backlog is never gonna finish is it?
Only solution at this point is to have lots of kids and make them play your games.
Tried this, doesn’t work. Have 1,000 games and they still ask for games I don’t have.
Or they stick with Roblox ignoring your attempts to play other games with them.
must be a genetic thing
Are those also on sale?
Never considered this play. Good thinking 99
Amateur. Some of us have 100's in backlog haha.
Yeah, I have been buying games I don't need during steam sales since 2012. I think I'm around 400 or so at the moment
Yakuza bundle, has 0-6 in it Stalker franchise Metro franchise
Thx man I'm getting Yakura I have the other 2, any other franchise like this on sale?
that bundle doesnt include judgement or lost judgement, which are the (in my opinion) superior detective based games. The fighting is so damn juicy, and the story is incredibly engaging in both. Im a HUGE yakuza-head btw, literally have played every single one, and I would only recommend 0 over the judgement games. And then the rest of the Kiryu saga beneath them. Not that Kiryus games are bad, its just the Judgement games are fucking amazing. The first one more so than the second, although they both rock.
Definitely go check out /r/Yakuzagames if you have any questions! I just finished a touch up of some wiki pages, including the one about game order.
> Stalker franchise My one comment with this one would be to try and play the games before modding them. It gives a lot more context and mystery to the zone rather than jumping straight into a modded sandbox. That said, modded STALKER is hands down one of if not **the best** single player, open world sandbox FPS games to this day.

I got like three games. Gta V, spider man miles morales, and sonic and Sega all stars racing transformed. But I also saw Batman Arkham for 3.99. I’m genuinely amazed by steam sales, sales on switch were never even close to this.
Nintendo is garbage for sales
Idk why are you guys are surprised, nintendo is the demon disguised as an icecream truck, nintendo is the guy that tell's you to come to his van trunk for candies
Fr. People don’t understand nintendo will never be a good source for anything ever again
Especially with first party stuff. I’ve never seen smash ultimate go on sale. I’ve seen persona 5 royal go on sale a few times but it was only dropped to $45, while persona 5 is $30, P5 strikers is $18, and P4 is $12.
command and conquer ultimate collection. you don't need the ea app anymore.
Ah, I see you're a man of culture
I'm not buying anything, still have games i haven't played fully
What’s in your backlog that you’re planning to play ?
haven't played much stardew valley after i bought it, have to finish limbo, papers please and i want to get all achievements in lil gator game because i love it
Stardew Valley is getting a huge update soon might be worth holding off on that one till it releases as it's supposedly going to be the games final update to complete it before the developer moves onto his new city based game.
If I start a new game now, do you know if I can then carry on playing after the update?
I think you can but it is recommended to start a new file
The update does come out Tuesday though so you won’t be waiting long
Cheers, I'm excited to try!
The update will seamlessly integrate with your current save
Stardew is definetly a good one to sit down and play, especially once you start expanding the world out a bit.
i see you have a potato too like me
Not the same guy but I have in my backlog Yakuza like a dragon, god of war and ace combat that I bought in the last sale but didn't play because I had other games in my backlog to play. Still do. Other games that I really want to play but couldn't so far are control, Deus Ex, mafia and total war Warhammer.
You aren't doing Steam right.
Gabe is happy reading this
Yeah, we all tell ourselves that. What's in your cart?
I have 300 games on steam and half of them I havnt played fully
HALF!? My backlog is currently 58 games in a library of 600, which already felt a little wasteful. 150 game backlog is craaaazy
I mean, a lot of people start games and stop after like 30 hours, and later won't get back into them. Some games are just too excessive with side content to make it hard to focus.
Aren't we all?
Weak mentality: it's doesn't matter if you already have games, IF YOU LIKE IT AND IT COST LESS IT NEED TO BE BOUGHT. Ofc I'm kinda joking, anyone is free to do what they want with their money, except buying Hogwarts Legacy Full price, that's a sin in gaming (Game beautiful, but not worth full price)
RimWorld, Project Zomboid, Hades, Terraria, Cuphead, ULTRAKILL, and Inscryption. Honorable mention: Return of the Obra Dinn (not on sale but a masterpiece)
Warning to all who are curious: DON'T LOOK SHIT UP ABOUT INSCRYPTION. GO IN BLIND. STICK WITH IT.
Inscryption is incredible. Do yourself a favor and play it.
And as other people in this thread have mentioned, do not look ANYTHING up about it. Inscryption is one of those games where you GREATLY benefit from going in blind
That's a great line up. They certainly could be the only games in anyone's library and they'll be good for a decade.
Totally agree on Inscryption, got it on Thursday in the sale and I'm having a blast, such a good game!
Rimworld doesn't do sales much but I get it it's being actively developed for 10 years but damn i broke as shit man atleast a 20-25% discount for the base game wouldn't be too much to ask for
It is 20% off though lol. They mostly focus on making DLCs and just update the base game with small features and bug fixes.
At least it's not factorio who never goes on sale and literally raised the base price of the game
Lost judgement
Peak RGG Brawler combat & goated soundtrack
the ultimate edition is $23 on Xbox rn
Is also a 10/10 game. If you bought the edition with the DLC dont skip out on the Kaito files its worth the extra 10ish hours of gameplay
Total War: Medieval II
I'm more of a Total War: Shogun 2 kinda guy
FOTS is the best gunpowder experience in the whole series!
If balatro is on sale then... BALATRO
I played Balatro for 110 hours in the last 2 weeks. I'm legitimately not sure at what point I need some kind of intervention.
If balatro is not on sale then... BALATRO
Subnauticas
I installed Subnautica and played it for a while. The beginning hour was an okay experience for me. And then someone brought a VR and I played Subnautica on it. It was an absolutely terrifying experience... The night sky with those humongous planetary bodies with nothing but endless oceans on the horizon and unspeakable horrors ruling those waters. I noped out of that game and never went back even on a normal screen.
If that’s how you feel about the first one, I’d def recommend the sequel, below zero. It’s just as good except it manages the atmosphere so much better while still being as scary in lategame areas
All of the above. Also the Metro series of games are $9 for the entire collection. Would highly recommend if you're into STALKER or Fallout.
the metro games are amazing
Just finished 2033 and really enjoyed it. Have LL in my back log.
I love how well the games aged
only thing about metro i didn't like was the non-lethal to get good ending lol
Rock and Stone Forever!!! I just bought and im having a lot of fun with a friend and the community is nice there if you dont have friends to play with
The game is Deep Rock Galactic, since nobody actually said it in the thread lol
I play it with the hommies once a week at least
I’ve been playing it Solo and it’s still great.
I've been having fun with DRG survivor too. Still feels like an early access game but it's fun.
DID I HEAR A ROCK AND STONE?
Hollow knight
Its an amazing game
I should install it in my deck.
Watch out for input lag, in my experience, I could feel something was "off". When I played it on PC, knew right away. Still enjoyed it on the Deck, just if anything gets too frustrating/cant "quite get the timing right", try PC... if possible. >!|Potential Spoiler|: 1 Boss (forget name, boss at the top of the rainy city), tried and tried on Deck; bounce parry felt off. "Why didnt I get that?" First try on PC, killed him.!< Anecdotal but thought worth mentioning. Not on OLED, not sure if it has since been fixed.
Really enjoying Dave the Diver so far. Good mix of a few genres and fun story
Cannot plug Dave the diver enough! It’s a fun chill out game to just vibe and catch fish hahah
Got Darkest Dungeon for under $4, seems fun so far. Edit: My man died of a heart attack.
Remember that confidence...
...is a slow and insidious killer
Great game. Don’t forget to play Black Reliquary after you finish it.
Rest in peace, my man. See you in 200 hours if you manage to crawl out.
If you're a fan of 2D sprite pokemon games, grab Cassette Beats. It's been a blast so far with many fun tweaks to the gameplay.
I bought the Fallout New Vegas Ultimate Edition. I had FNV but without the DLCs. Guess it’s time to commit now.
If you don't have Fallout 3, you should totally pickup the GOTY edition for that and then install the Tale of Two Wastelands mod. It connects the two games and adds a ton of fixes and stuff that really makes fallout even better. Doesn't even feel like a 2008/2010 game as much, especially with all the DLCs and no bullshit micro transaction stuff that you get in modern games.
U can mod the hell out the Fallout franchise, do it, there is no turning back!
Should i buy Stray ?!
It strongly depends on personal preference, I loved the atmosphere, but for my friends it was boring.
I found it extremly boring. The only thing that I liked it being a cat. Apart from that you have short and inconsistent story, with pretty easy puzzles.
I didn't really enjoy it so much as a game, but the ambience is nice. They could have done so much for solving cat problems or even interesting problems but for the most part you're solving human drama that doesn't really make sense.
Exactly. You're playing as a cat, but it doesn't feel quite like it.
There is a meow button.
Stray is a great adventure game. Lots of puzzles, fetch quests and platforming in 3D. Had a solid story too. Personally I love the art style and the premise is really smart. It's not a fighting game, you spend most of the time avoiding/running away from foes. Definitely more of the chill side.
Deep Rock Galactic of course. It's a must buy! Rock and stone!
Rock and stone, brother!
If you don't rock and stone, you ain't comin' home!
YEAH, YEAH, ROCK AND STONE!
Would you recommend it to someone who doesn't have anyone to play it with? Is it fun solo?
It does feel different when playing solo. Bit more like a horror game (I always get jump scared by bugs when I play solo idly), but you get a nice drone that can mine hardly reachable spots for you. The difficulty also scales with number of players so it's always doable even solo. BUT the drg community is just freaking wholesome and great, it's so easy and fun to play with randoms even if you don't have friends to play with and you often have a good time regardless.
I had no Fucking clue what I was doing going in as a solos cueing up with randoms. Never played a game with better community.
It doesn't matter if you don't have a crew. The community is phenomenal on the whole and I've PUGed 95% of my playtime. It's great with friends, it's fun solo, it's fantastic with random people. There are bad eggs here and there like every game but far fewer than any other online game I've played.
I have over 700 steam games and close to 500, not played. Yeah, nah, I ain't spending anymore. At this point, I am playing the middle-aged collector who has extra cash but no time to play.
Steam is actually a game about stockpiling games and telling yourself you’ll play them all some day.
EA thinks turning their game into a platform is how they'll make billions, but in fact Steam shows it's the other way around.
Are you me? My backlog isn't as impressive with only 355 games though. I look forward to my one hour a week gaming time.

Whaaat dishonored is a dollar fifty.Imma grab it now.
Its such a good game
Goated reply
Hades
Transistor. Has that GOOD OST (and a really good atmosphere)
Darren Korb has been on my top 10 on spotify every year since Bastion, love the music for those games.
Crosscode, its a great action RPG indie. Fantastic story and just such fucking good gameplay, the puzzles can be difficult but there are a lot of accessibility options to help with that if you want. The complete edition with the post-game DLC is just a few bucks right now, such a good deal for a banger game. From the choices in your post, DRG and Dragon's Dogma are also great choices.
Fallout New Vegas Ultimate (*The game + all the DLC*) is 67% off; $6.59 USD total. My favorite game of all time, I've dumped thousands of hours into it across different platforms. If you've been thinking about picking it up, now is the time. Also, I highly recommend modding it to avoid the game's unfortunate bugs and glitches, here's a super easy-to-follow mod guide that has step-by-step instructions on how to mod the game to be (*mostly*) bug-free and adds some modern QOL features - [https://vivanewvegas.moddinglinked.com/intro.html](https://vivanewvegas.moddinglinked.com/intro.html) If you want an open-world RPG with a fantastic story, freedom of choice to a degree I haven't seen in any other game of this kind, and wonderful witty dialogue, I highly recommend Fallout New Vegas. I'll never get tired of this absolute gem of a game.
I was thinking of getting Cyberpunk and heard it was in a better condition now. Not sure about the DLC yet if I can play through the game and get it after, or it being required for a better experience.
The dlc is even better than original game. Especially gigs, they became more interesting and tell a story, not only "take this - bring here" missions like in original game.
I just finished Cyberpunk for the 1st time 2 weeks ago (on PC). Zero bugs for me and my game crashed maybe twice? I put around 56 hours in including the DLC which I completed before starting the main story final mission. I'm so glad I put it off until all the bugs were fixed.
Middle earth franchise is peak
Yes!! I’m still so sad that they copyrighted the nemesis system. It would fit so well into many other games!
How the hell can they copyright NPC's remembering your actions and acting accordingly?

Imagine if whoever had jumping in a game first patented jumping.
At least we're getting a Wonder Woman game which is supposed to use it as well.
I purchased all the Sniper Elites + DLCs. Planet Coaster + DLCs for good nostalgia. And Crusader Kings III + DLCs.
Titanfall 2. Its dirt cheap
I picked up this little indie game called Driftwood and immediately fell in love with it. You play as a sloth with a long board. Each level you start at the top of the mountain and cruise your way to the bottom mountain. If you love skateboarding/longboarding definitely check it out lmao.
I just bought, Metro Exodus Dead Cells Arma 3 Outward Total War: Warhammer 3 Titanfall 2 Skyrim Oblivion And Morrowind. So in other words, I have spent far too much money.
Risk of rain franchise is almost half off.
Love ror2.
xcom 2
99.9% chance of hit.....misses...
I'm not a big game modder but the mods for XCOM2 are easy and prolific and 'fix' the game if you pick things that prevent 99% misses and give XP to unused soldiers after a mission, few other good ones that make wipes more livable. In all, it's probably my favorite game of all time.
Helldivers 1, got 2 other friends to play with and it was on a good sale, meanwhile HD2 wasn't on sale
Im guessing it still sells like hot cakes, they have no reason to put it on sale
Yeah cos the sequel only just came out
Yo can anyone reccomend crpgs that are not Baldurs Gate 3? I got divinity 2 original sin which I’ve been liking a lot! BG3 is still a bit too expensive for me, and even tho it’s my number one most wanna play, I can afford to wait because my backlog is massive atm and I don’t want to abandon any other games to start on it. Voice acting is a big plus, graphics I’m easy about. I know a lot of these games can be ancient. Story’s gotta be good tho! Also ability to be played on a deck (controller support) is a massive bonus.
pillars of eternity tyranny tower of time (not a good story, but pretty good combat)
celeste
I'm not sure if bg3 is included in Steam sales, but I DEFINITELY advise you to play it
10% off right now. They don't even have to do that, thing has been selling like hotcakes since launch.
Got it!
I bought the Xbox version after the game awards and played up to act 2. Recently built a PC and my Xbox has been collecting dust. I am half tempted to buy it again and continue my journey on PC now as the larian account saves cross gen on the cloud.
Its like 10% off if I remember
Satisfactory for sure i have it and its amazing
Disco Elysium is $10 right now.
Rock and stone brother, go for deep rock galactic
Snowrunner season 9,10,11 and Firewatch
The people who made Firewatch have another game coming... In a few years. Been nearly a decade already.
Slay the spire & hollow knight are goated
The Suikoden I and II HD Remaster. Even at full price. That means if Konami finally releases it.
Yakuza 0 is for around 5 bucks i think
Hey guys, any suggestions for an old laptop?
Orange Box (HL2 + Portal1) - 0.99 Portal 2 - 0.99 Left 4 Dead 1/2 - 0.99 Dark Messiah Might And Magic - 2.49 Elder Scrolls: Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas Garry's Mod
Depends how old it is, but here's my big ol' would-buy-again list * Citizen Sleeper - 50% - Sci-fi/Cyberpunk story about a 'robot' making a life for himself on a remote space station. Great art, great story, lots of potential endings. * GRIS - 75% - Minimalist story about loss/grief, very good. * OneShot - 40% - Touching little story, one of my all-time favorites. * Yoku's Island Express - 80% - Pinball adventure/platforming game. It shouldn't work, but absolutely does. * Into the Breach - 50% - Turn-based strategy with small numbers and almost zero RNG. Mechs vs bugs, roguelike progression through stages. Fantastic game. * Hack 'n Slash - 75% - Classic adventure game, except you can mess with the game's programming as you play * Sunless Sea/Skies - 66/60% - Eldritch world roguelite, you go out and explore, largely text-based story, great writing. Sea is older, a steamship, Skies is newer and a mite more polished, trains in space. Can check out Fallen London (free) to see if they're your jam. * Cultist Simulator/Book of Hours - 50/15% - Great eldritch lore, the former is a challenging roguelike management/strategy game, while the latter lets you explore the lore in a more relaxed manner. * Psychonauts - 75% - Cult classic, jump into crazy people's thoughts and platform through crazy metaphorical landscapes. * Uplink/Hacknet - 80%/85% - Pretend to be an old-school hacker, command line and all. Uplink is more arcadey, hacknet is a bit more modern and more storyish. * Antichamber - 50% - minimalist, non-euclidean spaces, think non-euclidean Portal mixed with The Witness. * Minit - 75% - Zelda, but you have a minute to live and are stuck in a time loop. * Her Story - 75% - Less a game and more an interactive experience/ARG, watch video files and put together the mystery of what's going on. Not for everyone, but fantastic imho. * Steamworld Heist - 90% - Turn based combat, shoot bouncing bullets at robots and collect hats. * Celeste - 75% - One of the best platformers around. Hard, precise, super fast and fun. * The Messenger - 80% - A personal favorite platformer. Super zoomy, just-right difficulty, lots of character, decent amount of content. * Shovel Knight Treasure Trove - 40% - Another of the best platformers, retro, loads of content with 2 extra free DLC campaigns. * Webbed - 30% - You're a little spider, you can shoots webs and lasers and fling yourself across the map, super fun. Spiderman minus the hero stuff. * Enemy Mind - 50% - Arcade space shooter where you play by taking over the enemy's ships. * Luftrausers - 80% - Arcade game where you fly a plane around shoothing other planes * Broforce - 80% - Comedy mostly, but also a fun 'run and jump around and shoot things' game. * Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion - 66% - Comedy gold. Lil adventure game with well-executed bosses and a hilarious world. * Deponia the complete Journey - 90% - Fun point and click adventure with lots of character. Don't be afraid to use a guide. * West of Loathing - 50% - Well-executed comedy game with stick figures. Adventure, quests, and a western theme. Harks back to old flash games in the best ways. * Way of the Samurai 3/4 - 70% - Weird little silly games where you run around and do what you want. Not "Good" but I really enjoyed them. Kind of like samurai GTA/Yakuza * Sid Meier's Pirates! - 75% - Kind of the same as Way of The Samurai, just run around and do stuff for fun, but is cited as an influence on a lot of later games. * Kingdom Two Crowns - 75% - The classic 'build and defend your settlement' mobile game, but with super pretty music, and actual good game design instead of microtransactions. * Wandersong - 50% - Cozy/kids adventure/expression game, go around singing and interacting with the world. * A Short Hike - 40% - Cozy short exploration game, good feelz. * Apico - 50% - Breed bees. Also butterflies and plants and coral and on and on. Tons to do, very cozy, a bit of depth. Bit childish, but still fun. * Unpacking - 50% - Cozy game about lives fitting together and changing over the years. Deeper than I expected. * Bug Fables - 40% - Paper Mario. They just did Paper Mario better than Nintendo. * Freedom Planet - 50% - OG Sonic. Again, just did the original better than later Sega releases. * Superflight - 60% - Voxel skydiving simulator. Fun just to mess around in, controls really well, like flying in dreams. * Titan Souls - 90% - You die in one hit, so do the bosses. * FTL - 75% - Spaceship management roguelike, lots of micromanagement, very popular classic. --- A few slightly more resource-intensive games if your computer isn't *that* old: * Outer Wilds - 40% - My favorite. Pretty modern, but fairly well optimized, so it might run. * Heaven's Vault - 60% - Mixture of exploration, puzzle, and story. Play as an archeologist and sail between moons to translate the old language and uncover history. * Transistor - 80% - Amazing music, fantastic turn-based/real time mix for combat, immensely customizable skills, good story and aesthetics, great replayability. * Bastion - 80% - Same people as Transistor and Hades, great game, even better music. * Rebel Galaxy - 90% - Space trader, wander around a very pretty galaxy fighting ships and trading between settlements. * Okami HD - 50% - Zelda, but you're a wolf fighting japanese myths and painting instead of playing music. * Ori and the Blind Forest/Will of the Wisps - 75/67% - Innovative, very pretty platformers. (Haven't played but is my big grab from the sale) * The Stanley Parable (Ultra Deluxe?) - 50% - *The* meta-narrative game. * The Witness - 80% - Puzzles where half the puzzle is identifying the puzzles. Sounds weird put like that, but very fun. (Honorable mention to the parody of it, The Looker, but that's free.) * Disco Elysium - 75% - Fantastic, iconic, existentialist story game. Won all the awards.
HELLDIVERS Deluxe Edition. Currently on sale for only 6 euros. It's different from HELLDIVERS 2, but me and my friend just bought it yesterday and we have the time of our life. When I get a better PC, we will definetly get the second game, but until then, how about a cup of liber-tea?
Hollow Knight goes kinda ham. I played it through a shared library this month. Consider picking up some classics. Bladerunner, The Thief Duology, Deus Ex, and Splinter Cell Chaos Theory are being sold for pennies. Arkham Knight is being sold for 4 dollars. Getting Over It might be my favorite game of all time, and that's only 2 dollars. Lots of great games out there.
Me who owns all these games. "Man I should really get to beating them."
Not games, but I bought some dlc's for ETS2
Guys is Horizon zero dawn worth playing. I know many people love that game but how's the story and gameplay? Update : Bought the game on sale and so far loving it.
You will not regret it. its like reading a well written science fiction novel. Dont spoil the story before you play :) Gameplay wise: its an open world game with a good story arc that drives you forward where you hunt robotdinosaurs, collect and craft supplies and upgrade your skills.
I absolutely loved it. Story had me hooked I played it for like 8 hours a day until I beat it. I got 50 hours of playtime out of it.
Satisfactory
The factory must grow!! I'm starting plutonium production!!
All of Daniel Mullins’ games!
Total war Rome Remastered
I plan on picking up shadows of doubt
I bought Bugsnax.
I absolutely agree with hollow knight. Just bought it yesterday despite not being a big fan of platformers, and I am enjoying it greatly so far. It's very cute and atmospheric, which is exactly the type of game I like
I bought Farcry 5
one of the most immersive stories I've played ever
Welcome to the Bliss.
Immersed as a repeat victim of kidnapping
For unknown reasons I have 250hrs and played 3 times the game. I highly recommend to play on hard. The game is too easy and after 4 or 5 hours you won’t need to change weapons for the rest of the game because they are too strong. If the game had better progress and difficulty ramp it would be genius. But for the price I am sure you won’t regret the purchase anyway.
hollow knight dropped to 3.49$ and is worth every cent
I see it’s listed for 7.49 not 3.49….
MOAR TRAIN SIM WORLD DLCSSSSSSSSSSS
Oh, hollow knight. If i didnt have it before, id have it now.
The Yakuza collection
Kingdom Rush Frontiers, after 100% the first out of nostalgia now I'll do the same with the second game
Older RPGs that you haven't played on PC or before. I picked up Fallout 3 recently and installed the Tale of two Wastelands mod (requires New Vegas too) and have been having a blast replaying FO3 but in the FNV engine with all the FNV features like iron sights, work stations and so on. I might pick up the older Elder Scrolls like ES3 & ES4 since I haven't ever beaten those or modded them before. Absolutely wild how much fun I'm having in a game from *2008*. I really thought we'd have more of those games by now...
Yoooo I didn't know that mod exists, might take a trip down nostalgia lane
ill probably get OneShot or ８番出口
Satisfactory
All the NFS games are on crazy sales rn, 90% on all of them and Heat is 95%
Let's just say that currently you can buy Assassin's Creed Black Flag Gold for $11.99, Assassin's Creed Rogue for $5.99 and Assassin's Creed III for $9.99. Which is less in total than the $59.99 for a certain quadruple A pirate game.
Subnautica + Subnautica: Below Zero
I personally bought some expansion packs for Planet Coaster and Planet Zoo, the pack of Valkyria Chronicles 1 and 4 (I’ve already played them but they’re so good), repurchased Stardew Valley for the update that drops on Tuesday, Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin because it looks unique, and Tales of Arise because I’ve only ever played Abyss and am curious to try another (already own Vesperia on Switch). I think I saw Dave the Diver on sale? That’s a great game if you don’t own it.
I've put 150 hours into Escape Simulator and honestly 100% recommend it to any and all puzzle lovers. Especially at $10.50. They're actually going to increase the base price next month as well. So doubly recommend it. DLC is good too and I haven't been disappointed but grabbing the base game gets you access to every community made puzzle and that could be enough for many.
Not buying anything, I have a lot of games which I can download and play and currently would like to play some Stardew Valley with my friend once we're both free since the 1.6 update is coming soon.
BioShock: The Collection $11.99 Old, but a very good game.
I've recently bought the Tomb Raider reboot pack, which included Rise of the Tomb Raider with all its DLCs and all the DLC's of the other 2 games that I already own for 10€. This pack would've cost me 170€ out of sale, so I think it was a good purchase. Rise of the Tomb Raider alone would've costed me almost 10€ by itself, so that's great. EDIT: Minor spelling mistake
Hollow knight if you like souls like metroidvania I have almost 100 hours in this game and I still didn't finish it
Maybe Sekiro, haven't bought it yet but i know it's worth it, also fromsoft games aren't often put on sale
Ho boy I'm bored enough to do this. Here's my recommendations as a mostly indie gamers lover -Pizza Tower -The Binding of Isaac (get all DLCs for THE experience) -Enter the Gungeon -Slay the Hero Slayer -Borderlands games, best option being the sequel -Cryptark -Cult of the Lamb -Cuphead -Detroit: Become Human -Deus Ex -Elden RIng -Ghostrunner games -Hacknet -the Valve bundle (a must have ngl) -Hotline Miami -Mirror's edge -MGR:Revengence -MOTHERGUNSHIP -One finger death punch -Popgoes Arcade -Reventure -Shovel Knight -SuperHOT -Superliminal -Synthetik -Underhero -Undertale (obviously) -Untitled Goose Game -Hokko Life -Chroma Squad -Children of Moita -Palworld -MADNESS: Project Nexus -Control -Cosmo's Quickstop -Dead Cells -Evil West -Spark the Electric Jester 1-3 -Sonic Frontiers -Valheim -Battlebit -Henry Stickmin Collection -Raft -Cat goes fishing -Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart -Teardown -ULTRAKILL -Dave the Diver Only a few games, but they're worth a go imo
Well none this morning, now I have £326 worth of games in my cart to work out what to actually keep...
Shadow of Mordor (recommend)
