The Steam winter sales are here, up to the 4rth of January.

What game did you enjoy playing and want to share with the community, and why?

It's like a mini (or a bit larger) review for the people in the community to discover your loved game, and get it for a smaller price. Also remember to share a link to the store page to help people find the game.

The game must be on sale currently and must not be a free to play game, or what would be point of this post.

The release date doesn't matter. Neither the sale amount. If you enjoyed the game, it should be shared.

You can put the game type/tags at the beginning of your comment if you wish so, it may help other people.

Please a single game per comment if you post a review.

I'll start in the comments.

I know this game has gotten a lot of attention but Sea of Stars was my favorite game of the year, the story and art was charming and well done, and the gameplay was great and about the perfect length IMO. Its only been out 4 months and I'm already itching to do a replay

Reminds me I need to get around to playing more. Got to the like first real city and then got busy with a lot of things but it’s cool for sure.

The start is painfully slow though

[–] Altomes@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

Fair enough, I think it helped that I'd been awaiting the game for so long that I was willing to forgive a slow start

I didn't get far in it because the characters seemed very bland to me, and the story setup generic, but perhaps that could improve over time? I know some games leverage their length to pull off slow character development well, even if the basic character templates are straightforwardly tropey. But this one didn't grab me enough at the beginning to justify investing my time in it, personally.

I'm glad it exists for the people who do like it, though!
