I haven't played PZ but the rest are great choices! Easily 30+ hours in each. ONI, over 100 hours.
I bought Anno 1800 and am really enjoying it, it's great that they modelled it closer to Anno 1404 but still innovated
Elden ring (finally!)
Marvel's Midnight Suns Legenday Edition. I'm 30 hours in and LOVING it. I mean, I like XCOM, Marvel, Persona and deck-building games, so I feel like this was created for me.
It's a shame the game flopped though.
Quiet hit, perhaps? Won't really go out of date.
I grabbed Terraria and Tiny Tina's Wonderland. Looking forward to them both! Gonna boot up Terraria now, Tiny Tina's Wonderland will have to wait until some friends are free.
Raft. I'm getting reeeeeal sick of Bruce.
I've bought more this sale than the last 3 years combined.
Nier Replicant 1.123905814908(or whatever), Nier Automata, Dave the Diver, Raptor: Call of the Shadow and Crisis Core: Reunion.
I have Automata for the PS4 but wanted to play it on the SteamDeck.
I wasn't really interested in anything new until I saw that Dave the Diver trailer and it just clicked for me. I haven't played it yet.
The Steamdeck sale is tempting. I have been trying to decide if I need one (I don't need one, but that's not important).
Building off what the other guy said, you'll want to upgrade the hard drive when you can, I got the 64gb one and got two 500+ gb sd cards, but the shaders needed for the games can only be stored on the internal memory from what I've seen, and even having a few larger games installed has filled up the majority of my internal storage, to a point where I couldn't download updates for flatpacs or run some games due to so LITTLE storage. I'm going to look into upgrading my drive because it became such a problem for me
I didn’t need one but I wanted one and it was a good idea.
Dooooo it
I've had mine since launch, I've used it less this year since my company cut all travel, but I'd definitely recommend it.
Mainly I use it as a home console, since I don't have another console and it's great having all the Steam library right there. I set up Heroic Games Launcher and play Rocket League quite often.
I'd thought of getting an Xbox before as it's also okay with Game Pass for just playing something on the TV to relax. But it seems that's really going to end up like Netflix with the decreasing quality and increasing price, and paying 500+ EUR to be locked into that doesn't seem great.
Then what really sealed the deal was when I visited my brother and we couldn't watch the World Cup on the Xbox. Like you have some of the best hardware in the world, and can't stream video because they lock it down so much. Whereas the Steam Deck is so versatile.
If you consider, consider also to buy the one with the lowest storage. It is not that hard to upgrade it yourself. You end up with even more storage than the most expensive model (if you're planning to buy that one). You only miss the anti-glare etched glass and a custom profile background. But you can buy a anti-glare screenprotector if needed.
Return of Obra Dinn. Actually bought it from GoG sale. Heard tons of hype about it.
A quick note to set you up to possibly enjoy it best: Most of the gameplay is intended to go on in your head, as you mentally assemble clues and go and re-check things. Don't be discouraged if it takes you a long time to progress part some scene.
Red Dead Redemption 2. I couldn't pass it up any longer!
Avoid spoilers if it hasn't already been spoiled for you. Story mode is a masterpiece!
Witcher 3 and all DLC's :) it is my second time playing it and I love it as much as I did the first time
RDR2 and the second expansion pack to Pathfinder WOTR
Not sure if you've played RDR2 yet but if not, you're in for a treat!
I have but on the ps4, got it on sale so I could try out mods this time
I bought slay the spire, i have only been able to go on 1 run which was very fun, now waiting for some peoper time off to play again.
Here's my decent haul. Some of them aren't really in the "Sale" as they just launched but have launch discounts.
- Control Ultimate Edition: Already own it on Epic, but was cheap enough to re-buy for easier Steam Deck play.
- Crab Champions: The meme song that become a really competent roguelike shooter!
- Dave the Diver: What if Lucasarts made a mini-game filled roguelike?
- DROP - System Breach: Sleeper hit for me. Intense puzzle/pattern recognition game with a great, simplistic hacking theme/style.
- The Entropy Centre: Big Portal vibes, but using time!
- Humanity: What if Lemmings, but you're an omniscient Shiba Inu. Plays great in VR too.
- Prey: Loved Deathloop but never had a chance to play Prey.
- Shogun Showdown: Crypt of the Necrodancer meets Slay the Spire - SIGN ME UP!
Good reviews and suggestions. Added a few to my wishlist for better sale prices later! Shogun looks like one to keep an eye on.
Bought Battlebit Remastered, Crab Champions, Code Vein. Already got my money's worth out of the first 2. Both shooters feel great to play and mess around in with friends. Haven't actually started Code Vein yet but having fun just making waifus in the character creation menu.
Thinking of buying Half Life Complete (better late than never), the Steins;Gate VN, and Nier Automata. Also looking for more singleplayer autobattlers like Astronarch but this genre is surprisingly small. Doesn't help that searching by the 'autobattler' tag also shows you bullet heavens (or Vampire Survivors-likes if you prefer) in the results.
X4: Foundations - though I probably won't get around to playing it til later in the year...
Potion craft: alchemy simulator.
Fun little game so far
I thought it had the best "craft potion from various ingredients" minigames I've seen in an alchemy game in a long time. That's basically all it tries to be, it knows it, and it works. My biggest gripe is that the UI is borderline unplayable on console. My wife would LOVE this, but she's a console gamer from the couch 20 ft away, and it just wouldn't work.
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 went big, mostly indie games I’ve wanted to try for awhile, mainly for playing on Steam Deck
ELDEN RING, Escape Simulator, Vampire Survivors, Mini Motorways, Only Up!, The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe, Celeste, TMNT: Shredder's Revenge, Rogue Legacy 2, Ace Attorney Turnabout Collection, Spelunky 2, Super Meat Boy, Pogostuck, Persona 3 Portable & 4 Golden, Kindergarten 1 & 2
I bought about 30 games. Only ones I remember offhand are Lego Hobbit and Lego LOTR. There were many more though.
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.
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.
I’m still on the fence for buying Hogwarts Legacy. 20% off is still more than €40..
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.
Have a look on greenman gaming. It's 32% off. £33.99 in the UK.
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.
Pinned the post as long as the Summer Sale lasts. Handy overview for everyone to discuss it.
