I was looking at getting some roguelikes / lites (already have ToME, CoQ), unfortunately Cataclysm DDA is not on sale.

Krone Hotel at 90% off looks like a decent choice too. Then there’s Jupiter Hell, which I recently stumbled upon and looks great too.

I’d also like to get some of the FF games, though I’ve played VI, VII, IX and a bit of XII, it would be nice to revisit some of the older ones I haven’t played almost since the PSX era.

Just picked up Hi Fi Rush and Dave the Diver. I'm going to Amsterdam for a conference in a few weeks and both will be nice on the long plane ride

I went for High on Life. It looks fun and has some reasonably good reviews.

I picked up Sun Haven. I was thinking of playing it the other day, and the steam sale reminded me it existed. (I'm having fun with it, but the play experience is somewhat janky.)

Other items on my wishlist on much bigger discounts are just sitting there because I don't have the mental space for them.

I picked up the FEAR complete pack, Alan Wake, Hades, it takes two, CoH2, and the Valve collection. First sale where I've owned a steamdeck, excited to play

Didn't get it on Steam but it is deck compatible (and on steam), The Outer Worlds. Nice no nonsense Fallout Stylus RPG, without the Bethesda jank

Good news if you are holding off playing CDDA because of the price: it's free on their official website. You can play now, and then buy later if you want to support development.

[–] Blaze241@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If I could I would by myself some time to play games

Picked up Darkest Dungeon, these rogue lite turn based games seem to work the best with steam deck

[–] fennec@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago

I got Lake and The Long Dark, both of which had been on my wishlist.

[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The Entropy Centre and Risk of Rain 2, bought more but those are the two I'm gonna play first.

i'm debating finally trying la noire -- would have been up my alley like 25 years ago, but never got around to it...

[–] phi1997@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

I've been playing a lot of fighting games lately, so I picked up UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH Exe:Late[cl-r] bundled with its DLC.

Yes, I copied the title from the store page to make sure I formatted it right.

[–] seaneoo@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

I just picked up Detroit Become Human to play with my partner. Its one of her favorite games and I know nothing about it

[–] thelsim@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I still have to work my way through the pile of games I bought from the last three steam sales. For the first time, I don't feel the urge to add more.

Going to have to check my wishlist and see... So tempted to get a Steam Deck rather than a Switch. Might have to actually pull the trigger....

ZOMBIE ROLLERZ: Pinball hero is an essential steam deck rouge like pinball game. Only $3. I've been screaming to the rooftops about this game, it deserves so much more love. It runs amazing on deck and looks great when ballooned to full screen due to the artstyle.

[–] SgtAStrawberry@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I got Hearts of Iron 4, Gotham Knights, Peglin, and Growing up. I'm very happy with it.

Not sure if I'll buy anything, my backlog is terrible already and I recently bought some games like Tales of Arise through Fanatical sales. Main game I was hoping would get a sale was Shadows of Doubt but it's still full price.

Finally decided to pick up Persona 5 Royal after having completed the original on PS4 when it first came out.

I got Doom Eternal, but damn it’s 91 GB and I have only 89 free. (Yes, RDR2…) Now I wait for my SD card that I purchased afterwards…

[–] MartianInAHumansBody@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

Just recently got a steam deck. But not bitter about missing that sale.

However, very happy with the 75% off Halo MCE, which other than some occasional stutter, is lots of fun on the SD handheld mode

[–] skullsquadzero@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

just picked up Nba2k, and Left 4 dead 2. I still have a back log of games to play from last year's summer sale:(

[–] Error@lemmy.fmhy.ml 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I snagged Elden Ring and all the souls games

you may be able to find them for a few bucks cheaper on isthereanydeal.com

So far picked up Pillars of Eternity Bundle, Stalker Bundle and Mass Effect Legacy. Probably won't get much else, if anything been debating on Sea of Thieves but I wouldn't have anyone to play that with so I'm being realistic if id enjoy it solo or not.

Recommend looking at Sales on GOG as well. All the games there are DRM free, meaning you actually own the games you buy there, also there are loads of great deals 🤘

[–] Pherenike@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The Sinking City, because I love Lovecraftian games and also I'm a masochist

I got a cheap projector on Amazon to pair with my steamdeck. I set up the projector in the yard, had a few friends over, and played some 4 player games I grabbed on steam sale. Neurovoider, helldivers, crawl, ninja turtles... Had a good time.

You know that Cataclysm DDA is Free software, right ?

Just open the terminal and execute

sudo pacman -S cataclysm-dda
