Satisfactory- project zomboid - valhiem - oxygen not included
I haven’t played PZ but the rest are great choices! Easily 30+ hours in each. ONI, over 100 hours.
Elden ring (finally!)
Marvel’s Midnight Suns Legenday Edition. I’m 30 hours in and LOVING it. I mean, I like XCOM, Marvel, Persona and deck-building games, so I feel like this was created for me.
It’s a shame the game flopped though.
Quiet hit, perhaps? Won’t really go out of date.
I grabbed Terraria and Tiny Tina’s Wonderland. Looking forward to them both! Gonna boot up Terraria now, Tiny Tina’s Wonderland will have to wait until some friends are free.
I bought Anno 1800 and am really enjoying it, it’s great that they modelled it closer to Anno 1404 but still innovated
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)_/¯
Return of Obra Dinn. Actually bought it from GoG sale. Heard tons of hype about it.
One of my favourite games. Great choice if you like puzzles!
A quick note to set you up to possibly enjoy it best: Most of the gameplay is intended to go on in your head, as you mentally assemble clues and go and re-check things. Don’t be discouraged if it takes you a long time to progress part some scene.
Red Dead Redemption 2. I couldn’t pass it up any longer!
Avoid spoilers if it hasn’t already been spoiled for you. Story mode is a masterpiece!
Here’s my decent haul. Some of them aren’t really in the “Sale” as they just launched but have launch discounts.
- Control Ultimate Edition: Already own it on Epic, but was cheap enough to re-buy for easier Steam Deck play.
- Crab Champions: The meme song that become a really competent roguelike shooter!
- Dave the Diver: What if Lucasarts made a mini-game filled roguelike?
- DROP - System Breach: Sleeper hit for me. Intense puzzle/pattern recognition game with a great, simplistic hacking theme/style.
- The Entropy Centre: Big Portal vibes, but using time!
- Humanity: What if Lemmings, but you’re an omniscient Shiba Inu. Plays great in VR too.
- Prey: Loved Deathloop but never had a chance to play Prey.
- Shogun Showdown: Crypt of the Necrodancer meets Slay the Spire - SIGN ME UP!
Good reviews and suggestions. Added a few to my wishlist for better sale prices later! Shogun looks like one to keep an eye on.
oh, Prey is amazing as an immersiv sim!
Great list, and I appreciate the short summary for each game. I’m definitely sold on Shogun Showdown now, but I better wait a bit to get it since it’s not discounted and I bought enough games this sale already lol.
I bought about 30 games. Only ones I remember offhand are Lego Hobbit and Lego LOTR. There were many more though.
X4: Foundations - though I probably won’t get around to playing it til later in the year…
Potion craft: alchemy simulator.
Fun little game so far
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.
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
Raft. I’m getting reeeeeal sick of Bruce.
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.
