I only got Supraland: Six Inches Under.

Tunic, Elden Ring, Ori and the Will of the Wisps and others are still on muy waitlist, mostly because of my lack of time. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm thinking about buying a few games to play on Steam Deck, probably 2 or 3 of that list:

  • Yakuza: Like a Dragon
  • Dark Souls 1
  • SD Gundam G Generation Cross Rays
  • DJMax Respect V
  • Digimon Survive
  • Rivals of Aether

Don't really see any must have deals (other than steam deck). Maybe Dark Souls III. 30 still seems kinda steep for such an old game, is it worth getting at that price?

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

It's a solid game (and I feel like it's the easiest one to get into for someone new out of the three), but for a few bucks more Elden Ring is stellar.

Have fun! Protip: if things seem way too hard head SE across the big stone bridge on your mount riding past everything without stopping. Feel like that area is easier to get a grip on things then the actual starting area. 😁

Just dropped a crisp fiver on Oblivion, figured 17 years of people telling me to play it was reason enough to give it a shot

[–] nivenkos@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

It's one of the best games ever made. Especially the Thieves' Guild missions.

[–] sevan@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

While I love Skyrim, I think most of the guild quest lines are much better in Oblivion, especially the thieves guild (as mentioned). I generally prefer to play with a leveling system mod that replaces the weird system they built, but it's a great game either way.

[–] speedstriker858@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Halo infinite, hollow knight, dead cells, and the orange box. Already played dead cells on switch a bunch so I know I'll love it (though a couple new dlc's have released since I last played, yay!). As a fan of the metroid series I'm also super excited for hollow knight.

[–] LetMeEatCake@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I fucking loved Hollow Knight. One of my absolute favorite games of the past several years. I hope you enjoy it!

[–] nivenkos@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Probably nothing, there's no huge sales on anything I want.

Maybe Bugsnax as it's cheap though.

[–] DownloadFLD@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

So far only Blasphemous, but that'll probably change. My wishlist is huge, and nothing's ever stopped me from growing my backlog before, so why stop now?

I'm a huge fan of metroidvanias, I've played almost all of the heavy hitters in recent years: Hollow Knight, Dead Cells, Ori 1 & 2, Dust, Guacamelee, the list goes on. Blasphemous seemed right up my alley despite some positive reviews with heavy caveats. I'm mostly enjoying it but I really really hate all the insta-death pits. Nice that you don't drop all your currency on death but now I've gotta walk all the way back there, avoiding all the enemies and traps, and oop I've fallen in the same pit again and turned the game off. Besides that, the difficulty is somewhere between easy and challenging but fair. Recommended while cautioning patience.

[–] DoakSteezy@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Black Mesa. Been waiting to grab it before I play HL2

[–] Repprd25@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Nothing really. I have 1000+ games owned that I have never played. Though it is always tempting. I might buy the outer wilds.

[–] NOPper@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I wanted to pick up the Washington and Oregon DLCs for American Truck Simulator, a game I almost never play but it always there waiting for me to pop back in for one run then uninstall lol.

Also picked up Made in Abyss: Binary Star Falling Into Darkness (whew, that's a name alright) because I was just turned on to the show (which is awesome!) and wanted to play it, but full price seems like a total ripoff for such a jank niche game.

Now both are on my Deck for less then I spent at lunch yesterday, and I can get back to slowly poking at my backlog!

[–] Taliesin@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Mechwarrior 5! I've always liked the series, but this one fell off my radar with an Epic exclusive deal that also had some pretty big problems at launch. It looks like it's in a good place now, though, so I'm looking forward to exploring the coop with a friend.

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

I’m still on the fence for buying Hogwarts Legacy. 20% off is still more than €40..

[–] JeffVanGundy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

If you've yet to buy it, go take a look at GG.Deals; it's a great price comparison tool that lets you look at prices across a bunch of online stores.

[–] Wardacus16@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Have a look on greenman gaming. It's 32% off. £33.99 in the UK.

[–] ChriskiV@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I got T.A.B , Rise of the Tomb Raider, and Doki Doki Literature Club

[–] MomSpaghetti@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

So far:

  • Metro Exodus
  • Super Blood Hockey
  • Zero Sievert
  • Grounded
  • Biped

Not on sale but also got BattleBit

[–] RisingGrace@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I've been getting into Warhammer lately so picked up boltgun and battlefleet gothic armada 2. Both very fun actually and definitely recommend

[–] Ace_of_spades@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Lumencraft

Yes, Your Grace

The Final Station

Now to actually play them!

[–] Clueless_Guy29@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Even though it wasn't on sale, I got Battlebit Remastered. It's like Battlefield but the graphics style is simpler kind of like roblox but that doesn't mean the shooting isn't as realistic. It's a cheap game and it's still early access but I feel it's going to be a pretty fun shooter as it gets worked on and improves.

[–] clovernorth@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I’ve been obsessed with Battlebit, it’s such a blast. Even solo, which is rare for me in a squad based shooter.

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

Got myself Fallout 4 for on my deck

[–] SPOOSER@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Let me know how it runs, for some reason I can never get Fallout 4 to run smoothly on any system.

[–] CosmicFlowchart@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

No games (so far) because I have enough of a backlog to play but went for a Steam Deck (512 GB version because I like anti-glare and don't want to upgrade it right away) and dock. I rarely feel like playing at my desk lately but enjoy playing on my Switch on the couch, so the deck should help me work thorugh my backlog.

[–] Azgrel@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Nothing. Partially because I already have too many games between PC and Switch, and partially because the sales are kinda shit since Valve stopped doing flash sales.
