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

None, because I bought everything on the store I wanted in the last 50 seasonal sales. 😫

Sorry but I don't see any bikes nor traffic lights on your captcha.

I have too much of a backlog of games i haven't played yet. I did not buy anything. Friendly reminder to play your playlist before buying a new game.

Yeah I got the steam deck in the early spring this year and am still trying to get through Witcher 3 and fallout 4. I have a handful of games I got for PC back 15 years ago on steam that I still need to work on after that

[–] kalpol@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

This is truth, although i did pick up Cities:Skylines. I've got to get through all the other Paradox games from the time they had the bundle sale

Nothing, I'm from Argentina and now if I buy a game I can't eat for a weak.

[–] ouch@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Sorry to hear that. Sail the high seas with no worries. You can still contribute to digital preservation of games by seeding. But don't worry if you can't do that.

I hope things get better for you!

Absolutely nothing, like in the past like 5 years.

Currently (re)playing all Half-Life and Portal games in order they were released.

[–] wilsnat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 days 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.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 23 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Oh, shit, there's a sale?

https://store.steampowered.com

Hmmm... old games I already own, games I won't bother downloading...

Epic Mickey Rebrushed for $30 isn't bad.
Space Marines II for $47.99 needs a bigger discount...

Space Marine II came out only a few months ago, expect a deeper discount mid '25.

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 16 points 6 days ago (2 children)

The only thing I care about on the store right now is the factorio dlc, and that's never gonna go on sale. I'll probably buy that once I finish all the achievements for satisfactory.

[–] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 9 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I can only recommend it. After about 60 hours I finally landed on vulcanus and I'm now experiencing the feeling of how it is to getting used to all of these long and complex Ressource chains.

[–] Socket462@feddit.it 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

After 60 hours I finally left Gleba. As soon as I got "home" had to head back to Gleba. Still stuck there. In the beginning I hate Gleba, now I love it. It gave me back the feeling of playing Factorio for the first time, running around and know nothing (and I I have over 3.5k hours). 10/10 would recommend the DLC.

Get it as soon as you can afford it. As you have already noticed, the price only goes up, and it never goes on sale. The people that made this game know that they made digital crack, and aren't inclined to spread the addiction.

I'm really tempted to pick up Psychonauts 2 which is currently 90% off.

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

Do yourself a favor and do it. It's honestly an actual masterpiece of gaming imo.

Nothing. Hoarding resources for the apocalypse.

[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

None, I told myself that I have to first play my last paid games at least once before I buy a new one.

Forza Horizon 4 has 80% discount and it will get delisted this December.

All DLCs are now on simple Deluxe and Ultimate edition.

Might as well grab it before gone.

Not on steam, but I bought Haven and The Talos Principle 2 on GoG.

I already played Haven on GamePass a few years ago, but I wanted to own it because it's very good (also to support the developers). As for Talos, I played the original twice and absolutely loved it, so I'm eager to play the sequel.

I played Talos principal 2 this year and it honestly blew me away. It goes without saying the puzzles were intriguing but the story, world building, atmosphere and dialogue are the real stars of the experience.

Deep Rock Galactic Survivor. I like to play casual games after work to de-stress a bit. Mostly tower defense games. Hoping this one will work well

They're on no traffic lights, crossing points, or bicycles in that image.

[–] Carighan@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Nothing, I got more than enough games left to play:

  • Xenoblade Chronicles 3 DLC
  • Shadow Gambit DLC
  • Tactical Breach Wizards
  • AI2 Nirvana Initiative
  • Unicorn Overlord
  • Mario&Luigi Brothership
  • Against The Storm

... and actually a bunch more I can't even recall right now...

FF7 Remake. I tried a "demo" and have been waiting for a sale. It's still more than I'd like to spend on the game, but I want to go back and continue my saved game.

[–] koncertejo@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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.

Haven't bought yet but I'm thinking of getting Old School Rally. I played a few racing games that looked just like this when I was a child so the visuals are giving me intense nostalgia

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

[–] TempermentalAnomaly@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days 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.

[–] Echolynx@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 days ago

I did turn on God Mode... still suffering. I suppose I've just gotta keep dying until I don't, but I haven't had the energy for that lately.

[–] BluesF@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

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.

Went for the Hitman WOA deluxe edition. Good discount and was eyeing it for a while.

[–] RedAggroBest@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Finally got Witcher 3 on my PC so I can play that again.

Me and the (long distance) gf bought It Takes Two

Kingdom Come: Deliverance

Death's Door, cute souls like

Spider-Man: Miles Morales

And God of War Ragnarok wasn't on sale but I was waiting to see if it would be, so I technically bought it during the autumn sale
