I shouldn‘t buy anything, cause God knows I have enough, but I‘ll probably get a couple DLCs (for Risk of Rain 2) and hopefully that‘s it (Narrator: „It wasn‘t“)

I just got:
JoJo's All-Star Battle R, Strobophagia, Arkham Origins: Blackgate
I'm not really into fighting games, but I got pretty into the JoJo anime and played the demo for All-Star Battle R before and I really liked it, so I got the deluxe edition or whatever for $20.
Strobophagia popped up on my homepage one time and caught my eye cause I like EDM, and mixing it into a game about a rave with a horror twist seemed pretty cool.
I've heard rough things about Blackgate as it's a 3.5D side scrolling brawler, but I'm hoping it'll play similar to those Assassin's Creed Chronicles games, cause I really liked those when they came out. Also I just want to experience more of the Arkham story/universe. At some point I'd like to play Arkham Shadow as I watched a bit of gameplay and heard a lot of positive things about it.
I bought: Drova - Forsaken Kin, Kamiko, Spiritfarer, & Beseige
I think I'm going to get the Dead Space remake (90% off currently), Granny: Escape Together (I like horror), and Escape the Mad Empire to start.
Might pick up more later in the sale, but this will keep me busy.
Remember you can get things refunded if you don't end up liking a game.
I enjoyed the remake well enough. It's nice that they added in some of the quality of life improvements from the later games and an updated zero gravity system (you can fly in 3 dimensions like you can in DS2).
uh, I was just about to buy the dead space based on your message here but then I saw it has denuvo, so no buy :(
What a bummer. Might get it second hand then instead.
Yeah denuvo is such a buzzkill. I used to dislike it on performance grounds alone.... But dude, when I went to play dead space on a plane for the first time, and that lil fucker told me it required internet to allow single player gameplay? 😤 fuuuuuck that. Never again.
Sadly nothing as I'm kinda broke. Got enough in my backlog to see me through though.
Was hoping for a discount on Spilt Fiction. Nothing so far.
Split Fiction is worth the MSRP. Ideally it’s great if you can get it on a discount, but this is one of the few games I’d pay full price for. My spouse and I loved it.
I think it's still a bit too new for that.
Finally picked up a legit version of Rain Word, yay!
All of the Batman Arkham games are bundled for $9 too. With season passes and dlcs.
Major let down Kingdom Come 2 is only 10% off. That's just taking tax off and nothing else.
4mo out I wouldn’t expect a deep discount off the bat.

I think I will get:
- The Caligula Effect: Overdose
- Death end re;Quest
- Death end re;Quest 2
- Fate/EXTELLA
- Fate/EXTELLA LINK
The problem is I have many games unplayed in my backlog.
Alright already have it but for my VR bros, Into the Radius is half price at 15 right now. It's has its own story but it's heavily inspired by stalker. Probably the best shooter/scavenger game on VR period.
Picked up: Supreme Commander Collection, Rider's Republic, Rakugaki, The Stone of Madness, Look Outside, and Sol Cesto.
Not a bad sale imo...

Elden ring only 40% off? I feel betrayed
Since Elden Rings success, fromsoft games don't get deep discounts, really. They raised prices for the Dark Souls games, as well.

I wish Expedition 33 was more than 10% off. I get why, but still.
My wishlist has some sub $5USD games so I'll probably drop 20 or so. I really don't need the extras though. According to SteamDB, I've only played about 41% of my 714 games - and that doesn't include all the GOG and free Epic/Amazon games I've snagged over the years.

Seems like the store is down or not loading, at least for me. My bank account is happy at least.

I got gnome jigsaw puzzles and the frog DLC for against the storm
Lossless Scaling. Worth it
Didn't go too overboard since I have a lot of other unplayed games and money is tight. But I picked these up:
- Sapo 3D (3D Platformer)
- ATLYSS (Action RPG)
- Lunacid (Dungeon Crawler)
- Kaze and the Wild Masks (2D Platformer)
- Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy (3D Platformer)
- Anodyne (Action Adventure)
I'm planning to buy:
As I mainly play on the Steam Deck.
Any other recommendations?
I made the indie game INK INSIDE, which is based on a lost cartoon pilot I pitched to Nickelodeon in 2015.
Instead, I turned it into a cartoon show action RPG staring Brian David Gilbert.
It has a completely unique combat mechanic that's a combination of beat-em-ups and bust-a-move. It's big on narrative, loot, and world building and even has live action segments.
We're on sale at 50% for only $10.
Would love for you to check it out, as it seems like you might really enjoy it based on the other games in your cart!
PS - Game works great on Steam Deck! (We just don't have the green check yet because it takes Valve forever to provide them)
I have Valkie 64, and I say save your money. Last I played it, it was VERY rough, unpolished, and felt unfinished. It didn't properly replicate N64 graphics, looking more like an emulator from 2005 with the internal resolution cracked way up and only basic bilinear texture filtering. The controls are clunky, and I don't mean like in an N64 game way, I mean they just feel bad.
Even for $5 USD or whatever, I say its not worth it. I was disappointed because the trailer seemed to make it look like an attempt to recapture the magic of Ocarina of Time, but it doesn't do that at all. Like, not even close.
Pseudoregalia is insanely good
It is very good. Nails the style.
