I went ahead and bought a bunch of indie games, picked up Darkchaser, Oxygen Not Included, and UFO50, and also grabbed Cities: Skylines. Got used to the launch prices of some AAA games, buying these discounted low-priced games really doesn't hurt much.

You're in for a treat! I picked it up at launch and loved every second of it. Heat Signature was pretty fun, but the writing and level design in Breach Wizards was just all around top notch.

Tempted to get Hades for $10, but it's a game that makes me angry.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

If dying over and over again is what's making you angry, turn on God Mode. The story is amazing. Without God Mode, I would have thrown it on the heap of games started that never hooked me. It was worth setting aside my pride to see a beautiful, intriguing set of stories and relationships unfold.

I kinda wish I had. Maybe I still will... 50 hours in I finally got my first escape and I now find I'm struggling to go back to it because it just keeps getting harder lmao. I just wanna tell Dusa how great she is.

Probably Persona 5 at 60% off. I liked 4 and 5 has an incredible reputation.
Wasteland 3 is $8. Seems like a great value.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

P5 is sooo good.

If you like P4, you should be in a good spot. Just note its style is like P4 got struck by lightning when drinking Mountain Dew Code Red.

And then, get P3 Reload when it drops in price. My favorite Persona, given a significant glow up.

I got, for $40.86:

Need for Speed Unbound, Far Cry 5, Halo Master Chief Collection, Memoriapolis

I loved FC5. Ubisoft gets a lot of crap because they make the same game over and over but there's a reason they started doing that. Good characters, and the pacing is pretty solid unless you're a completions (which is your own fault). There's some weird mechanics that progress the story that kind of break immersion that they chose because of the open world setting, but it's a solid game. Enjoy!

If you like it, "new dawn" is pretty OK. Wait for it to be cheap, it's basically really meaty DLC.

Just bought Riven, I'm liking it quite a lot so far. I see why it's a classic. Love the feeling of being dropped into a completely alien world.

I love Oxygen. It’s such a fun game. I can spend hours on just one save

The langolier has caught much attention. Please share its purpose...

I bought "Inside". Was told it was basically predecessor to Little Nightmares and I'm really loving it so far

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

UFO 50, In Other Waters, Planet of Lana, The Last Game, Genome Guardian, La-Mulana 2, Stacklands DLC...And a steam deck. I decided to finally get the deck before we might get tariffs and UFO 50 was my main purchase for handheld play.

Lastly, I really enjoyed Moonring during this sale period but that is available for free. Thought I should give it some cred despite not fitting your prompt.

Tiny Tina's Wonderland, Age of Mythology: Retold, Northgard, and Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I did like Fallen Order. It's not particularly challenging for the most part and it being compared to Dark Souls is overblown, but it definitely "gets" Star Wars.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, I'm a total Souls junkie. My favorite game ever was Bloodborne. I was on like NG+6 when I stopped playing it. That said, I never expect any game to come anywhere close to a Fromsoft Soulslike. There's a reason they're all called Soulslike, IMO; they can imitate, they can't be a Souls game.

I bought it mainly because all my friends won't stop giving me shit for not playing Fallen Order, and it does look interesting.

I'm giving Yakuza: Infinite Wealth a hard look.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It's a great game and you should buy it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Nice! I got the previous entry for free on Playstation, and I really liked it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Dark souls remastered, sekiro, and cities skylines

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Fuck, fam.

I legit dropped $100. I have a Steam Deck now so it's like I can have ANY OF IT.

So far, LOTR Moria, For Honor, Barotrauma, and Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance.

I had Dark Alliance on my OG Xbox when I was younger and I'm really looking forward to playing it again as like an idle game.
