Trying to find some last second purchases i may have overlooked during my browsing
What Remains of Edith Flinch. Short 2-3 hour game. I got it for $5 bucks and didn’t regret it.
It’s one of those indie gems.
Age of Wonders 4. It’s like a high fantasy civilization with a combat focus. I’ve never been into this style of game but it’s definitely sucked me in.
I’ve been having a blast with Voidigo, twinstick roguelike. Feels like a slower, less hard Nuclear Throne. Highly recommend!
I’ve been playing the hell out of Approaching Infinity and The Last Spell.
The former is a turn-based space rpg, and the latter is a turn-based pressure-cooker horde-survival base-building rpg.
For rts fans, especially ones that like competing online: age of empires 2 definitive edition. It’s like 5 euros rn. Regularly updated, with welcoming, healthy community.
Lies of P
Amazing soulslike.
Steam sale nearly over
What are you talking about? The winter sale is nearly here!
Guilty Gear XX: Accent Core Plus R
Zappa <3
Testament <3 Equally fucked up characters.
Ohh, I really like Testament actually!
I don’t play Zappa myself but he came to mind because he’s such a unique character that never made it to the later games.
I love them both but they are truly menaces in +R
RIMWORLD! Tynan has said he would NEVER put the game on sale, so these sales (even as small as it is) is crazy!
Bro what? Rimworld on sale? If Factorio gets put on sale then this is surely a sign of the endtimes
Factorio won’t, in fact they increased the price 😕
Always gotta recommend risk of rain 2 and Titanfall 2
If I took a shot every time someone on Reddit implied Titanfall 2 was underrated in any way, I’d be dead.
And Returnal and The outer wilds
Disco Elysium
I have never felt so gripped by or so seen by the opening 5 minutes of a piece of media, game or not.
Polar opposite. I had no clue what was going on. Gave up on it about 30min in.
Paint the Town Red, good game to take out all your anger
VR version releasing soon as well
It’s only 20% on sale and is fairly popular (though not mainstream), but I’ve put 80 hours into Dave the Diver over the past month, and find the $15.99 sale price tag well worth it for fans of games like Stardew Valley. Bought it for a friend of mine.
It mixes up two portions - a rogue-lite day/afternoon cycle where you explore a random undersea area to catch fish and gather materials, and an evening cycle where you work at a sushi restaurant turning those fish and materials into tasty food to get money and upgrade your gear (and restaurant). Great “just one more day” energy. Like many of these kinds of games, you can try to loot goblin/min-max each day, but honestly it’ll lead to burnout. Set some goals each day, focus on those while chipping at secondary objectives, and enjoy the ride. Lots of whacky cut scenes in fun pixel art, and lots of references (Pokemon, Tamogachi, Michael Bay, Simpsons, Friday the 13th, One Punch Man, anime/weeb culture, etc.). It’s cute and fun and addicting.
Goddamn 80 hours? Don’t get me wrong I played it and very much enjoyed it but I have no idea how I’d get 80 hours out of it. Is there a lot of game left after you finish the story or something that I’m not aware of?
Time gated content and 100%ing stuff. Also accidentally deleted my first save file around chapter 5, so about 10-15 hours lost there.
I’d say there’s a good 30-40 hours of content if you’re slow like me, with an extra 20 or so if you’re a completionist.
Ahh okay gotcha, I thought maybe I’d missed a ton of stuff by not continuing to play after I finished the story. And definitely 30-40, I actually looked at my save file after making the other comment and saw I was at 39 hours lol.
Age of empires 2! I know I know seems like a bad idea to most but I never liked an rts before until few weeks ago when I got this game and it’s amazing and a steal at 5 bucks!
Do you prefer the DE or the regular / hd version?
I personally think even the hd version sucks because it breaks compatibility with scenarios
I’ve only played DE so not really sure I’ve heard DE is best and just stuck to it honestly
I’ve been recommending this game every time I get the chance.
CrossCode
It’s an amazing game that has beautiful pixel art, an amazing story, zelda esque dungeons and an amazing combat system.
Sometimes I wish I could wipe my memory just to replay this game.Best game I ever played, video or otherwise.
I very often wish I could do a memory wipe for tis game specifically
