If anybody is into vr, a lot of vr stuff is on sale right now… And keep in mind, when the steam frame comes out next year, you’ll probably want some games to play.
I grabbed a bunch of adventures over at GOG: Beyond the Edge of Owlsgard, The Last Door, Black Mirror, Quern, and newly rereleased JRPG classic Breath of Fire IV.
Okay, no spoilers, but I personally really liked Beyond the Edge of Owlsgard a fair bit. It was the first point and click adventures I’ve played, unless I’m mistaken, and it’s amazing IMO.
No spoiler to a certain scene but my favorite line in the game comes from one of the many game overs and it’s just the English voice actor for Finn kinda doing an angry adlibbing right before it happens. Absolute gem of dialogue.
As far as I can remember, yeah. They skipped me because I was mainly a console and flash game kid in a time when point and click adventure games were becoming less popular as a genre.
Might be time to grab Psychonauts 2 at -85% (C$12). The first game was great. Not too much else I’ve been tracking is at a price I’d go for at the moment, though I haven’t looked past my wishlist for now.
Not sure if it’s part of Winter Sale, but I’ll get Mandragora Whisper of the Witch Tree (I’ll get it on Switch though where it’s also on sale). A work colleague heartily recommended it to me and it looks like a cool game; 2d platformer with hard “soulslike” combat, but doesn’t look like it’s going too hard on the “soulslike”. Supposedly very good exploration.
I’m getting a 4-pack of Tabletop Simulator. Not sure if that counts, since I already did that once—I have new people to try to rope into playing boardgames digitally with me, lol.
Maybe, sorta. But there are a zillion games it can’t play, it’s expensive AF ($42€/yr for premium), and it’s not nearly as immersive since it’s not actually a simulator.
It’s a cool site if you just want to pop into a casual game, but not so great if I want to play something even medium heavy like Clank!
Edit: That looks aggressive… The game is called “Clank!”
I seem to already have all the deep discounts I‘d be interested in… I currently only buy 80%+ discounts (if anything) since experience has taught me that anything lower than this will get there again very soon, so I’m not missing out by skipping now. I have like 200 untouched games anyway so I‘d probably just be throwing more on the pile… Gifts for friends are in the cart tho
I think it’s been 3 consecutive years now that ive been waiting on a deep sale for some titles, but they have yet to reach lower than 10 bucks (max I’m willing to pay).
Some of them aren’t particularly old releases so I dont mind waiting more:
Maybe Wolfenstein 1 or Bloodstained, my list is super long and there’s like tons of game i wanna play. Bang for buck wise i’d go for Wolfenstein 1 & 2 probably.
Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic is usually around $20 and seems worth it at that price and it is at $10 which seems like a genuinely great deal for a city builder/transit game.

A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it’s price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don’t meet the system requirements, or just haven’t had the time to keep up with the latest releases.
I bought a bunch of discounted CRPGs on Steam and GOG last month, I don’t want to buy anything this time. Let’s see if I can resist…

Well, be patient and buy it next year with frame
You and your good advice.

Like, your first ever point and click adventure?

I have a lot of games I haven’t played yet in my library, so I will patiently wait for another sale

Board Game Arena is so good already, though!

Ghost of Tsushima for me

I might get those:
At first I read “Wired West” and got hopeful for a new person experiencing Dust for the first time.
I assume I still got a few years until Baldur’s Gate 3 dips below $20.
If you wait too long, larian’s new game will be out
Yeah! I’m wanting that game.
I have about $15 in steam credit, so I’m thinking of just pulling the trigger even though I have other games I’m actively playing.
i wanna get it as soon as I’m done with divinity 2!
but i need to get a total of 4 copies for the partner and the youngins, and gosh.
i do wanna support them though!
I decided to pull the trigger on bg3 maybe today or next week.
Depends on if I have time to play today.
Maybe Wolfenstein 1 or Bloodstained, my list is super long and there’s like tons of game i wanna play. Bang for buck wise i’d go for Wolfenstein 1 & 2 probably.
The one that looks tempting which I might actually get around to playing some day if I buy it is Hades.
Played Hades 1, it’s super good when it clicked, if not it will feels like any other roguelike.
Hades 1 & 2 are so good!
Slay the spire ringed is the lowest its ever been
One of my favorite games
So far just dlc for games I already own. Maybe I’ll get Slime Rancher.
I love Slime Rancher! Highly recommend.

Riftbreaker at $11 is tempting too
