Noita is currently 60% off and is hands down the best game I have ever played (kind of). It is ridiculously brutal and you will die very often but you have the potential to get ludicrously powerful as well. The game will cheese you so don’t be afraid to cheese it back. In has so much content that beating the final boss for the first time is considered beating the tutorial.
Also if the some aspects are too bullshit for you there is a variety of mods to fix these, and there is absolutely no shame in using them.
Solasta Crown of the Magister for $8.99.
For me it’s the best game ever to capture the D&D feeling. The custom Warlock subclass, Timekeeper, is ridiculously fun.
Can someone explain videogames sales to me? How can a game be 12$ and 8.99$ the day after?
Its for the people that only buy when its a “good deal”. Its usually for old games that are well liked or for newer games that are maybe a year old now. The non sale price is for people who can’t wait for the discount. Sorta like waiting for a movie to go to video/streaming rather than go to the theater.
If you are the simmy type or like space, Elite Dangerous is insanely good, but has a learning curve up front. It’s the only game I’ve put over 1,100 hours in and still haven’t explored everything.
Subnautica is another game I can highly recommend.
If you wanna play games with friends (Elite is also MP), The Forest is a great game to bond over.
Black mesa is another banger.
How does Elite Dangerous compared to starfield? I’m 20 hours into starfield but finding it quite fun.
Different genres. Starfield is mostly you running around on foot, having shootouts, and interacting with people and human-sized environments. The space combat is basically an elaborate mini-game.
Elite Dangerous is mostly about flying space ships around.
Personally, I liked Starfield, though I think that it’s weaker than most prior Bethesda offerings. I stopped playing Elite Dangerous, though I have enjoyed some past space-combat-and-trading games, like Escape Velocity. Just never really hooked me. I didn’t like the Elite Dangerous “faux online multiplayer” thing at all — multiplayer breaking immersion in crafted environments is one thing that I’m not a fan of, and unnecessarily adding that just seemed obnoxious to me. The cockpit UI felt like it was more-oriented towards VR use to me, which may be good if you have a VR headset.
The entire Creeper World series is on sale- Creeper World 1 and 2 are $2.49, Creeper World 3 is $4.94, and Creeper World 4 is $9.99. Personally, I don’t like Creeper World 2 so I would suggest any of them but that one. CW2 is side on and I’m not a fan. CW1 and 3 are top down, and CW4 is properly 3D.
The first couple of Creeper World games used to be flash games you could play in browser, but after the age of Java games they ported them to Steam and kept making more and better games.
The basic concept is that it’s a cross between a very simplified RTS and a tower defense game, with the added curveball that the enemy is just a liquid that won’t stop showing up everywhere.
He also recently released IXE which is a bit like 2, but with mobile units instead.
Doom 2016 for 2$, Titanfall 2 for 3$ and battlefield games from BF3 through BF1 also go for 2$
Outer Wilds is on sale. Great game if you like space, puzzles or platforming!
My personal greatest game of all time. Do go on blind tho.
No Man’s Sky is down to $23.99. I remember the launch was poor but they kept working on it and improving it. I picked it up a couple years ago on Xbox and have enjoyed it
Undertale is at a new all time love at $0.99. It’s not really my jam but it’s the time to pick it up if you always wanted to play it but never did.
The inability to resize the Undertale window without using a third-party program like Sizer continues to be INFURIATING to me.
Undertale is a good game, but it just makes me so goddamn angry every time I open it to not have control over the sizing on my own goddamn monitor that I haven’t been able to finish it.
It’s not really my jam
I watched someone’s entire playthrough of it on YouTube, which I find to be a decent middle ground. In fact, someone else I know doesn’t even game any more and just watches playthroughs; better to see an expert do it with insightful or fun commentary than to get frustrated from not knowing what to do, etc. when we have such limited time in our lives anyway. Maybe that’s why I generally prioritize roguelites nowadays; if I’m gonna play something, I wanna ensure it’s a unique challenge that possibly not even the devs have ever exactly seen, and not simply be treated like a rat in a fixed maze to figure out precisely or struggle otherwise when other people have done it.
Anyway, I digress; Infested Planet is $1.94 USD for another recommendation, and it’s awesome. The trailer undersells it if anything.
There’s a truly great indie beat-em-up RPG with Brian David Gilbert that just released called: INK INSIDE and it’s on sale for $15.
Well i enjoy snowrunner on my steamdeck quite well… Think i will get the year one pass
That will get me through till the next sale xD
If it’s your thing btd6 is on sale for $3
Bang the donkey 6? Didn’t know they continued after 3
btd6
I believe it’s “Bloons Tower Defense 6”.
I added Cyberpunk to the cart. We’ll see if I actually purchase it.
Buy it, dude! You won’t regret
Do it!
I’m in the same boat. Got it in the cart, unsure if I’ll hit buy
I bought it a couple of months ago and oh boy this game is amazing. The story is really well written. I am not much of a first person shooter guy but this game is definitely worth it. The story is great, the atmosphere is amazing, it is a really well made game and especially now with the overall international state of affairs and the rise of AI, its depressively dystopian story feels even more relatable and even the fighting is fun and versatile.
Rain World and its DLC Downpour are 50% off (just above 11 bucks)
This is my son’s favorite game. Seems to have decent replay value.
Going to vouch for this game. I’ve been really enjoying it.
Best experienced without spoilers. Don’t even look up the creatures if you can resist.
You are not a hero, you’re are a small animal in a living ecosystem.
Love this game conceptually but I’m going to have to try again when I have mental bandwidth to get absorbed into it
Dead cells bundle
