What is everyone getting this Steam sale?
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.

Thinking of picking up Stray. My GF loves cats and has been waiting for a sale.
Absolute must play!
Do it! Brilliant game! 😸
Terrific game! Recommend it.
She will love it
I picked up Stray yesterday. Very good so far!
Definitely should! Just make sure to take your time in each area. So much detail to explore :)
One of my favorite games of the last years, and also fun to watch someone else play.
My new Steam Deck.
An excellent choice. Which model did you opt for?
Heck you could upgrade the screen later if you are feeling daring enough!
https://www.ifixit.com/products/steam-deck-512gb-screen
Hmm, did not know this. That is definitely a bit more work. But that is cool.
If you have someone with the etched screen around, go have a look at it before you embark on this adventure, I was very disappointed in the matte-ness of the screen.
What is a bit easier and relatively easy is to upgrade the ssd https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Steam+Deck+SSD+Replacement/148989
Have fun with your deck!
The most wallet-friendly choice is getting the 64gb model and a SD card or a bigger 2230 SSD.
Steam deck babaay!
Ayy nice, I got mine during the spring sale and I'm love everything about it!
Very hyped for this, has anyone splashed for the top end anti glare one? Is it any good?
If you plan on using a screen protector, don’t get the anti glare screen. The anti glare causes a slight blur, and the protector will just add glare back giving you the worst of both. They make etched glass protectors that have the same anti glare effect, but if you put that on the anti glare screen you get double the blur effect.
If you don’t mind popping your deck open, you can get the 64gb version and a 1 or 2tb drive for less than the price of the 512gb model. Watch a video on how to swap the drive first to make sure you feel comfortable. Otherwise, I think going for the 256 and getting a large SD card is your best option. The 64gb model doesn’t really have a lot of space for shaders which can’t be installed on the sd card without installing some mods.
Sick, thanks!
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.
How is it on the deck?
It’s so good and so well balanced. I’ve gone through three calculators and two whiteboards. I wish I could do it for a job.
The most fun I've ever had drawing flow diagrams and doing math in a notebook ignoring the screen lol
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.
Definitely go for bugsnax!
My entire wishlist is on sale, so pretty much everything!
My wishlist has 134 games on it.
And that's after I bought some of the games I had wishlisted.
I just picked up a steam deck!
Likely, tje Steam Deck itsself
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!
Beem thinking about it also. The discount is solid and it's still a good option even compared to the competitors.
Dark Souls 1-3
been waiting for these to go on sale for what feels like forever!
After 1,5 years, they finally stopped trying to milk the Elden Ring hype. Bought DS3 too.
Last time I played a bit via family sharing though, my saves went and got wiped after a few hours... the game says it has cloud saves but the others don't actually work (this one neither, probably), so I'm mildly afraid. It does work great on Deck though.
Wasn't the reason they stopped going on sale was because the servers went down?
Oh. I didn't know that.
But, who actually would be bothered by that? Going on sale while game doesn't fully function, that is. Like, you're still selling the game, sale or not.
You won't regret it. Ds3 is one of my favorite games of all time. The music and atmosphere are too notch. Praise the sun!
Hades :)
Thinking of getting Stray.
Do it! Such an enchanting and unique game 😸
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.
Probably Satisfactory. Made by the same folks doing Valheim, which I've really loved playing. Also thinking about getting High on Life. Supposed to be a good game but the full-price tag has made me hold off until now.
Same publisher, different devs. Great game though.
Didn't realize that. But yeah, looks great, going to try it out.
Its so much fun! My bro got it for me for Xmas. I work as a maintenance electrician in a factory so it's kinda fun combining my work with a sci fi game. It's really chill and you can even pet a little lizard doggo.
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
Fantastic game, just know that after you beat the game and they say you should play it again. They really really mean it lol. Most of the content comes after the first ending
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"
You know about Abzu? Also on sale atm an very clearly inspired by Journey, has very similar energy. Even got the same composer for the soundtrack.
Already have it on Steam ^^
Great choice! It "touches my soul" in funny ways that I can't fathom. Recommended it to a friend with depression and it brought him to tears.
I'm thinking of getting outer wilds, it's been recommended to me so many times, might just pull the trigger
Some local multiplayer games to play with my partner on the dock:
I also considered Hollow Knight and Dead Cells, but prefer to get games on GOG when available.
It takes two is a phenomenal co-op experience. We did a couple of runs and enjoy the whole thing each time.
The gameplay was good, the story is awful.
We quit after a certain scene. It made us feel sick and we had no desire to continue. I had just recommended a friend to play it with their kids the day before and immediately told them not to.
Just awful.
Did you kill all elephant?
Now I’m curious which scene you’re talking about. The storyline in my opinion was a bit shallow and at times cringy, but not sickening.
It involves an elephant and I'm definitely not the only one who felt this way about that scene and it's a very common thread for people to quit playing the game after this scene.
ibb & obb is a fantastic game
I gave up after ~2 hours, since I didn't enjoy driving around the world, but in that time it performed great on the Steam Deck.
Ordered the steam deck. Pretty excited about it. Also been looking at Dark Souls 3, and R-Type 2.
Congrats. I got it as a gift and it's easily the best thing I've had in years. It's going to change the way you enjoy games.
Picked up Darkest Dungeon, these rogue lite turn based games seem to work the best with steam deck
DD 1 plays pretty decently on the deck, and DD2 works pretty well from my experience. Almost all of my DD2 playtime is on deck at this point, definitely enjoying it quite a bit
Darkest Dungeon 1 is a 10/10 experience and a great fit for the steam deck. DD2 I'm a little more on the fence about, I enjoy it personally but I can understand how others don't.
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.
FF Pixel Remasters on SD are an absolute blast.
Holdup, are any of the FF pixel remasters on Steam? I thought they were only on PlayStation?
The Pixel Remasters were on Steam and mobile before they came to Switch and PS4.
They aren't part of the Summer Sale though.
They were originally released on PC. On Steam they're just listed as "Final Fantasy (I-VI)" but it's the pixel remasters AFAIK.
Skyrim (again, this time Anniversary Edition) and the Castlevania Advance Collection
I feel the Skyrim purchase. I have about 4 or 5 different versions - all the different platforms it’s been released on!
My god did I love that game. I wish I could play it again with new eyes.
Has anyone played the 2nd one, was it any good?
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
I very much enjoyed this game. I don't think it has a ton of replay value tho. It's a bit too on-the-rails.
The remastered version or the original? Might wanna refund if it's the former. Humble Choice (at July 4th) will contain at least the remastered version (the Space's Choice edition).
Got it from GOG so....
My bad, didn't read the part you didn't get it from Steam but some other place. Then I understand wanting to stick with the DRM-free version for sure. Have fun with it!
Honestly didn't know there was a difference. I got the DLC and the game individually since it was cheaper. Based on the comments I appeared to have made the better decision. (Though my poor laptop struggles to run it)
From what I read - there's a remastered version that includes the DLC which is prominently advertised since March this year (which is also the version coming to Humble Choice). The remaster apparently had huge performance issues, but those have been (recently) resolved after few patches. Seems like typical AAA "We'll fix it" behaviour, sadly.
Remarkably is that buying that remastered version doesn't provide a copy to the original (probably due to IP ownership lying with Obsidian/Microsoft than Private Division themselves).
Dark Souls I and III.
As a noted Dark Souls II evangelist, you should give that one a shot, too.
I've played every Fromsoft game multiple times, except DS2. Just got SOTFS and I'm excited to give it a go.
Is the Scholar of the First Sin version the one to get?
I think it's the only version available now. It's the comprehensive version with all the DLC, but it's also got a few minor changes from the original base game.
Ok, thanks.
100% honestly dark souls 2 gets a weird amount of hate but it's the one I come back to the most and it plays beautifully on the steam deck!
I just bought Subnautica
Oh boy, you're in for a treat. Try not to look things up too much and get too far ahead. This is one of those rare games I wish I could experience for the first time again.
This game is great and scary!! I went into it blind, and am loving it. There was a just jaw-dropping moment I got to witness, and just stood there for a while in silence. It runs great on the deck too
Necesse. It's like top-down Terraria with colonists that organize your chests for you. Great early game content, anyway.
How do you like the controller support? Well. If you've tried it.
Not the guy you responded to, but I have experience with the game and stream deck.
The controller works fine, although I can't help but think some buttons for actions are incorrect. Like cancel on one menu is one button, but a different button elsewhere. I believe controller support was somewhat recently added though so maybe it's just not fully baked.
I suppose I could contact the author and let them know my feedback.
I’m going to try out Pizza Tower, my first new platformer in a long time
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
Phenomenal game. Probably my game of the year.
I bought Subnautica and ended up playing it all day
I snagged Elden Ring and all the souls games
you may be able to find them for a few bucks cheaper on isthereanydeal.com
just bought American Truck Simulator and Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA
ATS and ETS are such chill games. Nothing but endless roads and your foot on the pedal.
Definitely, when I opened ETS2 I would forget about time and play it for hours; ATS right now is 75% off so it's definitely a good time for me to try it
ATS and ETS are pretty much on sale for $5 during every sales event.
That's not meant to be dismissive though, they are great games, a few years old, and definitely a great value. DLC can be a bit more expensive, but the base games allow for plenty of fun on their own.
However, the DLC does get discounted often - so there is that. They tend to keep the prices higher on the more recent DLCs and lower it substantially for the older DLCs - purchasing the older DLCs first is a good way to build them up.
The developers also listened to user input/complaints about the distance scale of ATS vs ETS2 when it came out and completely redid the content/game for free. I think they are on their 3rd revamp of California, and often rework or improve existing content.
Pretty cool developers IMO and I appreciate and support their business practices. The game is good with a controller, but way better with a wheel!
I appreciate the built in mod support, custom game settings (no speed enforcement! - thank you very much!), ability to quick save before passing at 90Mph on a blind mountain curve, custom music,etc. Fun and chill game!
Hmmm, good to know
So far picked up Pillars of Eternity Bundle, Stalker Bundle and Mass Effect Legacy. Probably won't get much else, if anything been debating on Sea of Thieves but I wouldn't have anyone to play that with so I'm being realistic if id enjoy it solo or not.
Not sure if I'll buy anything, my backlog is terrible already and I recently bought some games like Tales of Arise through Fanatical sales. Main game I was hoping would get a sale was Shadows of Doubt but it's still full price.
Why play, if you can buy?
Tales was on sale through fanatical? Damn, I missed it
Base game was $17, I think ultimate edition was $37 which seemed really high for costumes.
It was one of their star deals, limited time and limited stock.
Shadows of doubt has a great concept but the cases get repetitive really fast I must say and the option to customize your apartment aren't really that great to justify grinding through the repetition.
What makes interesting solving mysteries is the backstory and motive behind it and SoD really don't have any option to get to that, taking with npc have only the same generic questions that gives you just the generic responses and even going through emails have the same template messages repeated.
The case available in the demo/tutorial is great because it's hand made but after that, you quickly see behind the curtains to be honest.
i'm debating finally trying la noire -- would have been up my alley like 25 years ago, but never got around to it...
Nothing, cuz I'm broke 😂
Good news if you are holding off playing CDDA because of the price: it's free on their official website. You can play now, and then buy later if you want to support development.
I only bought games I plan on playing on the Steam Deck. Those are:
Never played any of them before.
Mark of the ninja is the greatest stealth game of all time
Might I suggest Neverwinter Nights as well. The online community is very robust and it offers an experience unlike any other game that I've played to date. It's text based and most of the populated servers are roleplay servers. This means tons of typing and would probably be better played on PC. But they do have a mobile version so it may run decent on steam deck. It's $5 and worth that anyhow.
Rim World is not a game it's a time travel app. Starting playing after dinner, blink, then it's 6 in the morning.
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 went for High on Life. It looks fun and has some reasonably good reviews.
Thinking about buying Elden Ring and RE2,
RE2 is so cheap but I'm a pussy who could hardly stand a horror game. Can only play 2 levels of Dead Space a day.
Is ER fair if I don't plan to do coop or use summons?
I thought ER was on par with or easier than other souls games solo, I actually had a harder time playing in co-op than solo. It's quite fun and has a ton of replayability on PC with the modding community. I'm in the same vein with the spooky games being a no-go, so I have nothing to offer on RE2 vs ER.
I've never done any soulsborne with co-op and I think Elden Ring is one of the best games I've ever played. Can't recommend highly enough. When you say summons do you mean spirit ashes?
I've been playing a lot of fighting games lately, so I picked up UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH Exe:Late[cl-r] bundled with its DLC.
Yes, I copied the title from the store page to make sure I formatted it right.
Can't blame you. There's a reoccuring joke in the UNI community that no one actually knows the title of their favorite game.
I have found a lot of the anime fighters a bit dull, but UNI is so good. Enjoy!
I got Lake and The Long Dark, both of which had been on my wishlist.
ZOMBIE ROLLERZ: Pinball hero is an essential steam deck rouge like pinball game. Only $3 right now. I've been screaming to the rooftops about this game, it deserves so much more love. It runs amazing on deck and looks great when ballooned to full screen due to the artstyle.
Just recently got a steam deck. But not bitter about missing that sale.
However, very happy with the 75% off Halo MCE, which other than some occasional stutter, is lots of fun on the SD handheld mode
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.
Levelhead is woefully underrated. I like it better than Mario Maker.
Awesome devs, too.
Verlet swing is pretty fun, definitely a unique game.
Recommend looking at Sales on GOG as well. All the games there are DRM free, meaning you actually own the games you buy there, also there are loads of great deals 🤘
I figured out a while back that it's just not healthy for me (I stress 'me' because it's my experience) to collect games to play later just because they're on sale. I have a few hundred games just on Steam bought all the way back to sales in the 2000's. I've spent hours scrolling through them and realising they don't interest me and probably never will. Sales will usually come again so I'll just get a game when I actually want to play it.
I'm deciding between the Witcher 3, RE2 or Disco Elysium.
The Entropy Centre and Risk of Rain 2, bought more but those are the two I'm gonna play first.
Ror 2 is such a treat
Just picked up Hi Fi Rush and Dave the Diver. I'm going to Amsterdam for a conference in a few weeks and both will be nice on the long plane ride
Dark souls 3. A lifetime of shitposting about the series and I just now get the third one.
I've been watching other people play Deep Rock Galactic for a while now, might be time to actually get my feet wet lol.
Had a bigger haul at GOG, but for Steam I got:
I picked up Sun Haven. I was thinking of playing it the other day, and the steam sale reminded me it existed. (I'm having fun with it, but the play experience is somewhat janky.)
Other items on my wishlist on much bigger discounts are just sitting there because I don't have the mental space for them.
I enjoyed it for awhile, but it definitely feels like one to wait on and return to it later when it's more developed.
left 4 dead 2 and team fortress classic. I really love valve games and they are both fun games to play!
Got a few smaller ones from my wishlist: Sword & Sworcery, To The Moon, Antichamber, Her Story, Undertale, Sorcery! 1-4, Reigns, Call of the Sea and Overboard!
I got a cheap projector on Amazon to pair with my steamdeck. I set up the projector in the yard, had a few friends over, and played some 4 player games I grabbed on steam sale. Neurovoider, helldivers, crawl, ninja turtles... Had a good time.
I picked up the FEAR complete pack, Alan Wake, Hades, it takes two, CoH2, and the Valve collection. First sale where I've owned a steamdeck, excited to play
Make sure you try Alan Wake American Nightmare and Control as well. Brilliant games.
I played Control and loved it, kind of why I wanted Alan Wake actually. The Alan Wake DLC for control was so spooky
Finally decided to pick up Persona 5 Royal after having completed the original on PS4 when it first came out.
Looks like this is when I finally buy Dead Cells, kinda surprised it took this long
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.
Monster sanctuary is hella underrated, great pick It has such a unique combat system compared to other monster collecting games I've played. The skill trees are super fun.
Another vote for Monster Sanctuary. It's such a good game and the latest expansion is also a lot of fun. It's one of the few games I've finished lately.
I still have to work my way through the pile of games I bought from the last three steam sales. For the first time, I don't feel the urge to add more.
Same. Lots of games to pay attention too, so little time to actually do it.
I’m thinking about getting Hogwarts Legacy
It's enjoyable even if you aren't an HP fan.
I really enjoyed combat and the puzzles even if the dialog was a bit much for me.
I missed KOTOR when it was current so I'm catching up now.
I got Doom Enternal, but damn it’s 91 GB and I have only 89 free. (Yes, RDR2…) Now I wait for my SD card that I purchased afterwards…
If I could I would by myself some time to play games
That's called a "vacation." Unfortunately, those generally come with other activities...
I just picked up Detroit Become Human to play with my partner. Its one of her favorite games and I know nothing about it
I went crazy on some colony sims like 'Foundation' and 'Kingdom's & Castles'. Loving them both!
@[email protected] If you buy the oldest FFs, 1-3, keep in mind that the versions on Steam have massive changes to game mechanics to make the games easier and more like FF7. I don't think it does FF1 any favors because the difficulty was a lot of what the game had going for it on replays, but if you just want to say you beat FF1 the Steam version does the job.
I'm thinking of picking up SaGa Frontier myself. Does it seem worth $15 to people?
Going to have to check my wishlist and see... So tempted to get a Steam Deck rather than a Switch. Might have to actually pull the trigger....
I was really hoping to pick up some of the Stellaris DLC's that I'm missing, but of the 5 I don't have, 4 aren't on sale at all, and the last 1 is only 20% off. Pretty bummed tbh.
How’s Stellaris like on the steam deck? I have the game, but haven’t tried it on the deck yet.
OCTOPATH TRAVELER II, Sonic Adventure 2, and Valheim so far for me
For Sonic Adventure 2, like Sonic Adventure 1, there were many graphical effects in the Dreamcast version that simple got dropped in later ports and were never brought back. They can be restored with mods
That's good to know, thanks!
Octopath Traveler 2 it is for me too. First one is already great.
It wasn’t good for me to buy the steam deck 2 weeks ago, this sale has made me want to try so many games on it.
So far I have grabbed Cult of the Lamb, Vampire Survivors, Little Nightmares 1 and 2, Inscryption, Aliens: Fireteam Elite, Aliens: Dark Descent, Dredge, Hades, Bendy and the Ink Machine…and I’m still looking. Fuck.
Hades was the first game I played when I bought my Steam Deck. It works flawlessly and looks great. Definitely a good game to pick up for something on-the-go.
I got Hearts of Iron 4, Gotham Knights, Peglin, and Growing up. I'm very happy with it.
Hell yeah peglin is fucking fantastic!
Love this game so much
I fully agree to that.
Peglin is phenomenal and the Deck is still the only good way to play it on a living room TV. I will say my Steam (deck) playtime on Peglin absolutely cratered when it came out for Android though. It's a perfect phone game.
Jupiter Hell is actually a really weirdly good little DOOMRL clone, I can recommend it highly. It deserves more attention than it has gotten from rl fans.
whoops. I cleared out the <$10 bin...
Figured would be good Steamdeck:
VR Games:
Other:
Me: "Blasphemous, huh, I wonder what that's about? Let me go look."
Steam: "It's in your library."
Really debating finally going after Fallout 4 GOTY, Dredge, and Rift Wizard as they're all on my wishlist.
I know a lot of series diehards didn't like it, but I really enjoyed Fallout 4
That's kind of why I held off but the price is pretty low now
Dredge is a solid 8-10 hours of fun, but not much beyond that
I was a little worried about that tbh. No real replayability then?
I can wholeheartedly recommend DREDGE for Steam Deck playthrough, even if the game is the kind you play once and move on. 🙂 The game works really well with the Deck control scheme, its mechanics lend themselves to playing a bit at a time, and if you're into Lovecraftian horror, it's the cosiest one I've ever encountered. 😁
Not at all, for me at least. Interesting story and gameplay though.
I got wrestling empire. In my first match I rode a skateboard and knocked ppl over. I found a gun. Goldust died I think, he just laid there for like 10 min. 10/10. Also ita fun to play, kinda like the old n64 wwf games.
Those were some of the few recommended Steam Deck games I didn't own yet :)
Some other games I bought I don't really plan on playing on my Deck:
Getting Over It is on sale for practically pocket lint, so I picked that up
I hope you have a lot of patience lol
The Sinking City, because I love Lovecraftian games and also I'm a masochist
Ok that was a pretty freaky trailing. I'm intrigued.
GrimBeard does a pretty solid dive into it.
Kinda pretty sad that Dark Souls 3 is still so expensive... ever since Elden Ring blew up, its price has also skyrocketed. It finally got a sale today, but I remember many years ago it had a discount that was much lower.
Nevertheless, I got Alien Isolation, Dark Souls 3, and I'm hoping I can finally get some DAVE THE DIVER, but money is tight at the moment. This Steam Sale arrived at a pretty bad time for me :(
Already had Metro 2033 Redux, now I've bought Last Light and Exodus. Next I'll probably buy Rimworld or Project Wingman.
Rim world is amazing, highly recommend
I've gotta second this. RimWorld is fantastic. I'm not sure if the dlcs are also on sale but they are great as well.
Also, there are some really great mods for the game on the steam workshop that would definitely be worth checking out.
I love the metro series.
I've replayed them a couple of times. Such a great atmosphere.
I got a bunch of stuff from my wishlist: Stray, Rain World, Stardew Valley, Subnautica, SEASON, and Kena: Bridge of Spirits.
I grabbed octopath Traveler 2, avorion, Carrier Command 2, Spiderman Miles Morales, and thr biggest find was the Metro collection. Looking to play through all 3 games.
Never finished Last Light, got stuck on a section and didn't want to go all the way back to an earlier save to make sure I was in a better situation.
I picked up Mechanicus. Considering looking for a CRPG I haven't played before
I ended up getting New World since it’s the lowest price I’ve seen. I’m also hoping that the game has improved since launch. Going to keep browsing this thread to see what other deals people share!
I eventually picked up Wreckfest. It's good fun and runs very well on the deck.
I picked up Octodad and Unititled Goose Game for my kids because they were cheap ($5, $10). We're having fun with them.
I'm considering Civ 6 for my steamdeck. Have to watch some reviews first
I’m grabbing Cult of the Lamb, and maybe Ori and Dead Space Remake. I’m tempted to grab Persona 5 Royal, but I don’t know if I’ll have time for it until around the New Year, and by then we’ll have had the Fall and Winter sales. There are just way too many games I’m more excited about coming out in the next few months. I just a need a game or two to get me through July.
I bought X4 and it wouldn't start. So I refunded it and now I'm on the hunt again.
I got Life is Strange 2 which I've been meaning to play for a while now. I also got Prototype 2, which is easier to run on Linux than on Windows.
I got the original system shock games to play before I do the remake! 5 bucks for the bundle! 😁
I did one of those “complete the bundle” to get most of steamworld games. They seem like very good fit for the deck.
I’m looking into Rogue, the game that founded rogue-likes! It’s a part of my mission to enjoy some genera defining games so I can understand gaming and it’s history more.
I’m also looking at the System Shock remake, the demo is a lot of fun on the SteamDeck!
I have Battle Reals, Last Spell and Nioh 2 in my cart and will see tomorrow after I slept about it what I am going to get. Maybe all, maybe none
Nioh 2 kicks ass. If you ever plan on playing the first one though play it first, 2 adds enough QOL that it becomes impossible to go backwards and have it feel good.
Nioh 2 is a solid choice. I didn’t like it as much as the first one but the ability to play through the entire campaign with friends is definitely a plus. This is the only series to come close to the experience found in FromSoft titles IMO
I ended up getting Faith, Cruelty Squad and finally the Dark Souls 3 season pass. I'm really looking forward to playing Cruelty Squad. It's going to be nuts just going off the trailer.
Ended out with Death Trash and the new Power Wash Simulator DLC that dropped today (Terrible timing that.)
Death Trash is such a weird little game. I enjoyed it immensely.
Slashers Keep, Lego Builder (the puzzle one), and some indie VR titles. I'm really tempted to get Sparky the Electric Jester 3, it looks so cute!
Has anyone played Void Bastards? What's your elevator pitch on why I should (or not) play it?
just picked up Nba2k, and Left 4 dead 2. I still have a back log of games to play from last year's summer sale:(
Ozymandias
Dome Keeper
DAVE THE DIVER
Poly Bridge 1&2
I needed something more casual. I've just stopped playing Dome Keeper, I like it.
I'm getting Paradise Killer and probably the Visual Novel Chaos;Head: Noah.
I got the Dead by Daylight killer pack, but beyond that I'm stumped. I'm itching to spend money, but nothing is super calling to me. Maybe No Mans Sky, I love space but I usually don't enjoy grindy "make your own fun" type games
If you like space games but not grind, grab Outer Wilds (NOT outer worlds, different game). It's an indie game that's got a really cool concept behind it and has a really tight, focussed story.
I love no man's sky, but Im really most interested when they have an expedition going... Otherwise yeah I just waste time flying around
That sounds peaceful
It is, and beautiful. There's also a creative mode where you can truly relax and explore
Hold off then because mote than the grind, NMS has the depth of a puddle.
Lots and lots of things to do, completely unnecessary after you finish the "tutorial" that introduce them.
I bought brotato for a bunch of my friends.
I really want to get Systen Shock remake, and maybe even the Final Fantasy* arpg, stranger something something.
I also ran across these two indies, Fear and Hunger 1&2 that look very interesting and are very affordable.
I tried to get Powerwash Simulator, twice. The payment failed both times, through 2 different payment methods (and not because I don't have the money). I'm taking that as a sign that I'm better off without it.
I’m considering pulling the trigger on several, specifically No Man’s Sky. Anyone have some considerations on how that game runs?
Nms actually runs better on the deck than it does on my desktop. my desktop is a few years old, but it's no slouch. However, I do use fsr to upscale from a lower resolution.
You know that Cataclysm DDA is Free software, right ?
I'll probably pick up the Judgment games. I don't have Yakuza 4, 5 or 6 yet either, but the main series isn't on sale this time around unfortunately.
Is BF2042 worth buying for ~$15?
get Battlebit instead
Buy BattleBit Remastered instead it's the same price but looks like loads more fun.
No. Check out BattleBit instead if you're looking for a classic Battlefield feel.
Not really.
Isn’t that one still considered a massive flop? I remember everyone hating it
Unfortunately, every new Battlefield game is shit on release day. The question is: is it still shit?
It is still shit, and every battlefield game is full of unchecked wall / ESP hackers, with the occasional aimbot for additional spice.
I think it’s a lot of fun. Maps are have been reworked and are good. Typical battlefield at this point. Lots of weapons, gadgets, etc.
I think it is. I wasn't super happy with it when it was launched although I thought it was fun. it definitely got a lot better now. I'd say it's worth it for sure, but BattleBit seems to be the new hype for Battlefield players.
Fear and Hunger 2
Halls of Torment
I've been eyeing:
Chicory: A Colorful Tale
Black Mesa
I've been wanting to try Potioncraft and still on the fence about getting Darkest Dungeon 2
Potioncraft is a fun chill game that you don't need sound for.
As a fellow fan of roguelikes/lites, I've been having fun with Tape to Tape after getting it on sale yesterday.
It's a roguelite hockey game with gameplay that almost reminds me of a more advanced version of those OG Backyard Sports games from the PS1 era.
It's not a roguelike, but Dave the Diver is also really fun, and it just left early access this week.
I've bought:
Heretic/Hexen Pack, Steve Jackson's Sorcery! - The Complete Collection, Gorogoa, Pilgrims, Carrion, The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe, AudioTheory Piano Keys, Doodle Derby, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge.
I bought Signalis, really enjoying it so far
Bit of a spending spree this year ;-; Witcher 3, Darkest Dungeon, Cuphead, RD2, Hades, Control and others. Plz help
I got CrossCode and Fez
You can get CDDA for free, there are even some launchers for it such as catapult, it’s a great game and worth checking out honestly
Probably nothing from the looks of it. I'm still busy with ToTK and inscryption on my Switch.
So far I've gotten Kenshi. I'm having hopes for it but a bit slow ATM.
Poverty
I picked up:
• Dave the Diver • Power Wash Simulator • Old World
Trying to decide if I’m getting Dredge
Already bought Star Wars Squadron's, Bionic Commando Rearmed and CRUMB.
I'm forsure getting Trombone Champ and all of the DLC for Fire Pro Wrestling World. Who knows what else, but those are definitely happening.
If you're a fan of Fire Pro Wrestling World, check out Wrestling Empire. It feels almost like a spiritual successor to WWF No Mercy for the N64, which, imo, was the best wrestling game ever made. It's got a pretty big roster based on real-world wrestlers. It's not licensed, so you have "Joel and Miles Hardon" instead of Jeff and Matt Hardy or "Ripper Ace" instead of Triple H, but it's immediately obvious who they're basing it on.

Check out Crawl. Roguelike that doubles as a fun party game over Steam Remote Play or Parsec.
3 players have spawn points in the rooms to spawn as dungeon monsters, and 1 player is the hero. If you kill the hero, you get to respawn as the hero and that player becomes a monster. You get to level up both your hero and monsters, your goal is to beat the final boss as the hero.
Remnant: from the Ashes. I do a lot of co-op and "dark souls with guns" appeals to me.
I bought: Jurassic World Evolution 2, Vampire Survival, Hotwheels Unleashed, No Man's Sky, and Terraria.
I will see next wave ahah
I grabbed a bunch of smaller games for my steamdeck that I’ve been wanting to try:
Noita - you’re a wizard in a rougelike physics sandbox environment
Super Meatboy - precision platformer ($1.25)
Cave Story+ - old Metroidvania platformer I never got around to finishing on console years ago
Fez - 2D/3D puzzle platformer
DIG - “Spelunky meets Enter the gungeon & Broforce” action rougelike platformer
Super Blood Hockey - old school arcade style hockey, pixel graphics (and has multiplayer split screen)
Binding of Isaac - never played it, gonna see what all the hype is about. Action rougelike
Tunic - old school LoZ style RPG
Pizza Tower - sonic the hedgehog on crack
Dave the Diver - dive, catch fish, sell fish in restaurant, buy better gear, dive, catch bigger fish, repeat…
Cursed to Golf - deck building rougelike with golf mechanics
Monster Sanctuary - 2D Pokémon platformer
Resident Evil 3 - cause it was $10 and I just finished 2
Binding of Isaac is honestly one of the greatest games I've ever played. Well over 500 hours and I'm only 75% done the game.
Dave the Diver was my first pick up. I’m sure there will be more.
So far I've bought: SOMA, Call of the Sea, FAR: Changing Tides
I finally picked up Graveyard Keeper and all the DLC. Really fun game and plays great on the Steam Deck.
I didn't even know CDDA was on steam!
I got a steamdeck. Should receive it Tuesday or Wednesday.
Honestly, nothing.
I've been consumed by Diablo IV right now.
Get a Steam Deck and play Diablo while lying in the hammock in the garden...
Just picked up Dave the Diver and Coromon and my brother got me state of decay 2 which runs flawlessly on the deck so far. Tempted to also get power wash simulator and dredge but I also have tons of games in my backlog to still play lol
Does anyone have experience playing Cyberpunk on the deck? I saw it was deck verified, but not sure how I feel about it. Just saw it was on sale and was curious
CDDA is Open Source, just visit the devs Website
Buying it on Steam ist just if you want to support the Dev
I got Omori. It gives me very strong Earthbound vibes but also gets really dark a faster. So far I'm hooked.
I keep waiting for Caves of Qud to have a more substantial sale, but since I'm fairly deep into Cataclysm at the moment and it's free I think I'm gonna get some smaller and cheaper ones - Dawn of Mexica and Golden Krone Hotel (check them out, they at least seem very cool if you're into roguelikes), still trying to decide whether to include ADOM or ToME as wel. Also debating Osmos, Myst, Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 or whether to just bite it and get CoQ finally.
I got Last Command, a snake-like bullet hell game and Copy Kitty, which is like Mega Man mixed with Kirby and lots of explosions, so far.
Maybe I will snag Rabi Ribi and I am considering getting the DLC for Dark Souls 2, I am torn between just the DLC and the Scholar of the First Sin Edition. Heard they added more enemies, and that sounds awful. Lost my save files, so it wouldn't matter anyway.
