This is the way. Why would I hoard 5 more games just because there is a sale? The next one will come shortly. Only buy games you plan to play in the next 2 weeks.
Lol, I would have bought factario, but I have trouble spending that much on a game, and I would have had to buy two copies (one for partner). However first person games give her motion sickness, so satisfactory was about 1/4 the price overall. And she’s hooked on monster hunter world herself, so I have time…
Heaven’s Vault, Hardspace Shipbreaker, and both Subnautica games.
Heaven’s Vault is a puzzle game where you have to learn to translate an unknown language. Haven’t gotten too deep into the game yet, but I picked it up because I liked Chants of Sennaar, which has a similar premise. Chants is 25% off right now, so I think that’s a decent recommendation
Hardspace Shipbreaker is a casual game where you break down spaceships for parts. It seemed fun, and I wanted to have something casual to balance out my library, which currently has more intense games than I would like.
Subnautica is a survival game where you’re stuck on an ocean world. I’m honestly not too sure if I would like this one too much, since I’m not too much of a fan of survival games. It just seemed unique enough from the other survival games, and it had a decent deal, and it was in my wishlist for a while. So I acted a bit on impulse and bought both games (Subnautica and Subnautica Below Zero)
I’m considering pirating the game, since I bought it 2 years ago and have been unable to login to my rockstar account or receive any help from support. I bought the game, just can’t play it because of the launcher. I’ve only played about 1hr through, I know the game has so much more to offer
Rdr2 I bought full price and don’t regret so if you can get it for cheaper it is worth if you like slower paced games. I know some people can find it boring especially the beginning parts but the story is great.
Aside from FTL (which I’m glad to see is well-represented here), my top ones would probably be Papers, Please and Disco Elysium. Papers, Please manages to pair a good narrative leading to many endings with oddly fun gameplay. Disco Elysium simply has some of the best writing ever in a video game and world lore that I can’t get enough of.
I also really liked The Binding of Isaac (Rebirth and later), Don’t Starve, Shovel Knight, and Hollow Knight.
It’s one of the simplest games possible, the controls are “clockwise” and “counterclockwise”, and there are no distracting characters, setting, or story.
And yet the easiest level is – quite accurately – labeled as difficulty “Hard”. The next 5 levels (6 total) go way up in difficulty (and labelling) from there.
Each level lasts 60 seconds. If you can survive that long. I’ve never unlocked the final level myself, so I don’t even know what it is like, but I can guess.
Terraria is the easy pick for me. I believe the only game that comes even close to the amount of hours I have in it would be Minecraft. I doubt I need to say much about this game, so I’ll leave it at 3 words: near infinite replayability.
Melvor Idle is an amazing game if you like the “idle” in idle games. And if you like the idea of leveling up a multitude of different skills like in RuneScape but don’t like the idea of walking back to a town every time you’ve chopped down 12 trees, Melvor Idle has you covered. It’s a long grind but I had fun the whole way. I’ve 100%'d it and all the DLCs and still love playing it.
Cassette Beasts… I’m genuinely surprised I haven’t seen this game mentioned here. An absolutely amazing creature collector with a very unique twist on things, a great story, beautiful pixel art, and hands down the best game soundtrack I’ve ever heard.
Melvor Idle is a great call. The base game is a solid idle game and there’s a load of mods too.
I did a HCCO12B (Hardcore combat only, 12 bank slots only) run when the game first released.
Reinstalled the game yesterday and started another HCCO run using the new mod, it adds some QoL and tweaks.
My only negative about it is that when playing normally, I always feel like there’s a perfect/optimal strategy and I should figure it out before playing.
I just chip away at my list every time there’s a sale. This time I got God of War, Spiderman, Jedi Survivor, and Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen.
DD was an impulse buy since I don’t know anything about it, but the reviews were good. It was $4.79 and I see there’s a sequel coming later this month, so that’s probably a good deal and a good time to catch up.
But I’ll probably still be “ahh, suffering…” through Elden Ring when the summer sale rolls around…
Dragon’s Dogma is a great game that was ahead of its time when it came out. I can’t help but wonder how much of a hit it could have been if Capcom marketed it better (or at all).
It’s incomplete in certain areas, inventory management is a nightmare, and the mini bosses in dlc areas (gorecyclops, undead dragons, wargs I think they were called) take ten minutes of healthbar whittling and they respawn when you rest.
But the true test is whether the game is fun to play, and it is! Regardless of which class you’re playing, the game lets you feel like a badass. I’d just recommend playing with some QOL mods.
Definitely, assuming you like the fantasy action RPG style games. Some enemies are too tough to even damage until you level up and get better equipment, so keep that in mind if you find some sections too difficult. Magic actually feels POWERFUL, more so than other games like Skyrim and Elden Ring. Even with the sequel coming out soon, I couldn’t recommend the first one more; its in my most favorite games of all time.
Heck yeah, it feels very meh for the first couple hours, if you’re doing all the side quests and stuff.
I recommend either sticking with it, or skimming through till you get to the main city (Grand Soren) and then see if you like it from there.
I know that’s like telling someone the show gets good after the first 4 hour long episodes, but it’s actually really good and nothing has really matched it since.
Same! I’m even excited for the lack of fast travel. Which is crazy I figured I’d be annoyed. The ox carts seem fun though and I think will give the world size and depth
Can confirm, started playing Dark Arisen for the first time yesterday myself and I am also shocked at so r of the things that were implemented in this game. Took me by surprise. I struggled a lot to get my ps5 controller working with it, as you need mods to make it visually be correct. The start is a little rough as mentioned, but just gotten past that now and it keeps getting better!
If you’re going to play DD1 you can 100% fail side quests for going too far into the story before completing them, but don’t worry! Quest anxiety can ruin the game, there’s a new game plus if you really want to 100% it, but with DD2 coming this week I’d say just have fun with it.
From what I understand the only thing that connects DD1 & DD2 is that there’s a dragon. Lol
Dragons dogma is a fantastic game that I thoroughly enjoyed. The sequel is looking amazing so getting into the world now through the first game is a good idea
Fight N Rage was my favorite beat’em up before Streets of Rage 4 released, made by mexicans I think, very stylish and manga influenced, tons of juggling and branching paths.
Valdis Story was the hollow knight of it’s generation, awesome metroidvania with great bosses and combat with good combos, but it didn’t get tiresome like castlevania mirror of fate because regular enemies weren’t health sponges, bosses were where you let loose.
I got the Vampire Survivors DLC. I try not to buy Steam stuff anymore unless it’s either a deep discount on something I kind of am interested in, or it’s something I badly wanted.
