Steam Winter Sale is coming(Today), along with voting in the Steam Awards
And the full list of nominees is now out!
Nice! It's time to buy some games that I'll never end up actually playing
I bought Rimworld in 2015 on a Steam Christmas Sale and I finally played it this last year.
Breaking news: it's really fun lol
Highly recommend trying dwarf fortress if you like rimworld!
Ive been having a lot of fun with Dyson sphere. Good entry if you're interested in factory games.
Definitely a great game. Recently had a pretty big update adding enemies and combat that has been fun so far but you can also just disable combat mode for a chill time building your swarms/spheres
I knew the sale was here cuz I had a huge email from "isthereanydeal" 😂
Anyone got recommendations for cheap or interesting indie games this sale?
I bought Touhou Artificial Dreams In Arcadia during the October sale and it is a bit of a hidden gem for fans of the old SMT JRPG games on SNES. I also picked up Lunacid but have not got that far in it, but it seems like a strong revival of the classic Kings Field games.
Boneraiser minions. One of my favorite games this year. It's vampire survivors but you raise minions to attack for you.
I'm enjoying the hell out of Cult of the Lamb
Copying a comment I made on the other site;
Recursed, just £1.67. It is a brilliant puzzle game, completely mind bending stuff about recursion and jumping into chests inside of chests while taking another chest with you so you can jump inside it...
Wonderputt Forever - £2.20. Prettiest minigolf game, animated to excess. Less than an hour to beat unless you go for optional challenges. You may have played the original flash game a decade ago.
I am so tempted to pick up BG3 again (already have it on PS5). Anyone have experience with it on the SteamDeck?
Not on steam deck but I play it on Linux pc and ps5. One of the coolest things about it is cross save, you can save your game on pc or ps5 then continue from that same spot on the other platform.
Yah the Cross Save is the reason I want to get it on Deck, so I can play on the go 😊
I played it on Steam Deck. It was great. Act 3 was a bit slow, but I didn't mind.
I am thinking of getting it on console so I can experience it with better resolution
I played at release this year, but stopped midway through Act3. I need to pick it up again to finish it off.
Some things are a bit small and apart from cutscene camera angles or really zoomed in there isn't much detail visible on the characters. I played with kb/m inputs mapped to have better utilization of deck controls. Some low fps bits here and there but generally great.
Do it. Mods can really enhance the game, adding new classes and mechanics.
What’s the one game you guys are def buying?
I think Grim Dawn. Seems like it would be a nice medium between a spastic first person shooter and the slower pace of Divinity Original Sin.
It's great. And it's got a new expansion coming up in the new year. So now is the perfect time to grab it.
Grim Dawn is so good. If you have any interest, just go for it. I don't even play many games like that, and I've put tonsss of hours into it now. Super underrated soundtrack too, imo.
I ran across The Longing just yesterday. Looks unusual, fun, and chill. Seems like a good one to mess with over the holidays.
Btw, GoG has about the same discounts.
And here's a list of over 2000 games supporting Linux: https://www.gog.com/en/games?systems=linux
GOG games are DRM free ladies and gentlemen.
EDIT: Did anyone play Predynastic Egypt? Is it any good? I'm into strategy, economy, etc.
EDIT II: Music in the video of Project Hospital is awesome!
Maybe this will be the actual sale I pull the trigger on Sonic Frontiers I said I wasn't going to spend any money on games for a while but I really sonic and they seemed to have nailed this one.
I also really sonic
I also really sonic
I also really sonic
I picked up GTA 4 , I was going to get rdr2 cyberpunk , hogwarts and sifu if they had hit the right price but I'll leave it for a future sale. I picked up the mass effect trilogy earlier this year for 9.99 now its cheaper. I also picked up a humble spaced out bundle too recently so I have tons to keep me busy.
