So far only Blasphemous, but that'll probably change. My wishlist is huge, and nothing's ever stopped me from growing my backlog before, so why stop now?

I'm a huge fan of metroidvanias, I've played almost all of the heavy hitters in recent years: Hollow Knight, Dead Cells, Ori 1 & 2, Dust, Guacamelee, the list goes on. Blasphemous seemed right up my alley despite some positive reviews with heavy caveats. I'm mostly enjoying it but I really really hate all the insta-death pits. Nice that you don't drop all your currency on death but now I've gotta walk all the way back there, avoiding all the enemies and traps, and oop I've fallen in the same pit again and turned the game off. Besides that, the difficulty is somewhere between easy and challenging but fair. Recommended while cautioning patience.

Got Nova Lands. It’s like Forager with a factory

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Uh oh... this looks like exactly my shit.

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

Yeah, Forager is one of the very few games I went out of my way to 100% and I just stumbled into Nova Lands. I’m sorry man.

Post Void and A Short Hike. Also thinking about buying either Terraria or Don't Starve Together for me and my friend, but not sure which one

Harvestella. My wife has like a thousand hours in Stardew. She gets a present and a job offer today. It's a good day for her.

My backlog was getting low (which is rare), so I've stocked up to last a while, or at least until the winter sale.

  • Halo: The Master Chief Collection
  • Slay the Spire
  • Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice
  • Yakuza 3/4/5/6 (bought the collection but I already owned 0/1/2)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Slay the spire is amazing and I cant recommend it enough.

I plan to grab Valheim and potentially Dave the Diver.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I got Subnautica for £8.24, original Alan Wake for £4.64 and Surviving Mars deluxe edition for £8.74. Not bad!

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I wanted to pick up the Washington and Oregon DLCs for American Truck Simulator, a game I almost never play but it always there waiting for me to pop back in for one run then uninstall lol.

Also picked up Made in Abyss: Binary Star Falling Into Darkness (whew, that's a name alright) because I was just turned on to the show (which is awesome!) and wanted to play it, but full price seems like a total ripoff for such a jank niche game.

Now both are on my Deck for less then I spent at lunch yesterday, and I can get back to slowly poking at my backlog!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I bought about 30 games. Only ones I remember offhand are Lego Hobbit and Lego LOTR. There were many more though.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Mortal Kombat 11, Dave the driver, unpacking and PC builder simulator.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I've been getting into Warhammer lately so picked up boltgun and battlefleet gothic armada 2. Both very fun actually and definitely recommend

Raft. I'm getting reeeeeal sick of Bruce.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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)_/¯

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

RDR2 and the second expansion pack to Pathfinder WOTR

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

Not sure if you've played RDR2 yet but if not, you're in for a treat!

Potion craft: alchemy simulator.

Fun little game so far

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Thanks. I am an eager beaver to get mine.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Bought Deathloop. I never was super excited about it, but it looks like it's worth 15EUR. Still thinking about Jedi Survivor, but I'm usually not spending that amount of money on games.

[–] loutr 2 points 2 years ago

I got deathloop in the monthly humble bundle thing, and I loved it. Didn't encounter any bug or technical issue, I really liked the story and atmosphere, and as a big fan of the Dishonored series I found the gameplay really good. I guess it can become a bit repetitive towards the end (which is kinda the point), but if you focus on the objectives and moving the story forward there are always new things to do.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Probably nothing, there's no huge sales on anything I want.

Maybe Bugsnax as it's cheap though.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (4 children)

I just accidentally stumbled onto Dave the Diver and I really want it, though it's not on a particularly great sale. Concept sounds super fun.
