Looking through the sale trying to find ANY game that holds an interest for me... Any suggestions? Seems like a lot of trash lately.

Great games that came out in 2024:

  • UFO 50
  • Peglin
  • ANIMAL WELL
  • Balatro

2024 games that I haven't tried yet but seem promising:

  • Pepper Grinder
  • Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom
  • Lorelei and the Laser Eyes
  • Rabbit and Steel
  • Another Crab's Treasure
  • Felvidek

All are in no particular order. Dunno if you'll like those but these ones come to mind :)

Rabbit and Steel

I haven't had a chance to properly play it in coop, but I tried Rabbit and Steel and it is really fun.

Thanks! Bought and played a lot of UFO50 already, I liked it. Bought and loved Balatro as well! I'll have to look into the others. Thanks again!

No worries! I've just realized you were asking for games on sale (reading is hard ugh...) so hopefully the ones you want will be discounted mb ^^'

Another Crabs Treasure.

Oof. Wanted to love it. Wanted it to be SpongeBob like but with dark souls but timing is weird. The game is buggy. Fights don't feel satisfying and it's somehow too fast and too slow but people keep telling me to just turn on God mode and it will be fun... But then it's not a game it's a power trip.

I would skip it. I think it got hyped up the way that Stray did without being a great game just a great concept to talk about.

Damn, that's sad. Since I already have tons of games I want to play I'll probably never end up getting it then. Thanks for telling me :/

I know, I was so disappointed. But hey there is not a shortage of other fun games to play!
