I picked up Total War: WARHAMMER III and Pennon and Battle, both strategy games. I'm thinking of getting Baldur's Gate 3 as well. This should keep me busy for a while. My holiday plan is to stay home and game!

Bustafellows (95% sale). I have a huge backlog of !otomegames@ani.social to play, and Bustafellows is not on it. But it was also like $2 so… worst comes to worst, I play the game some day, hate it, and my purchase serves to signal "hey, English-speaking ladies who do not live in Japan also like otome games, localizing them is a good business choice". Which means more otome for me! I have heard of so many Japan-only games that sound so cool but also I cannot play them because I won't understand a damn thing the characters say, and they are usually super story-based.

The Magic Circle. I forget what recommendation list I saw it on to be honest, but it still seems to hold up as something I would like and think is cool.

I like !tycoon@lemmy.world games, so I was going to grab Parkitect, saw it in a bundle with more tycoon games, grabbed the bundle to also collect Project Hospital and Game Dev Tycoon. (I already had Parkasaurus.)

I also like automation games. I think its community might be on a dead instance… maybe I'll make a new one. Finally grabbed myself Factorio (will never be on sale) along with Satisfactory (finally out of Early Access. I will never buy an EA game, I will always wait for it to exit EA).

Finally, Sun Haven. Stardew Valley fan, from what I have seen of SH it seems like something I'd like, and price dropped.

Aside from Factorio, everything I grabbed was on sale. Aside from Satisfactory, all the sales were 50% or more.

Might get more. We will see.

I've been playing Parkitect over the last months, it's pretty fun! Usually I don't stick with Tycoon games for long, but I did >10 campaign levels there.

Only bummer is that the tooling around blueprints is pretty underdeveloped (can't sort/tag them, very inflexible), and it gets tiring to recreate all the basic decorations around food courts etc.

I haven't bought anything. We've still got another week to go though, so I might pick up something. I'm a patient gamer so I'm still waiting for Cyberpunk and expansion to come down in price. Otherwise there isn't a whole lot that interests me right now.

I'm mostly waiting on updates for a few games I already own: Balatro is getting a big update in the new year, Enshrouded, Against the Storm, and Timberborn. I should get back in to BG3 too. I bought it on release and put 20 hours in and then just... stopped playing.

lockdown protocol and astroneer is pretty solid

Finally playing Battlefield 1 and Battlefront 1, cause $3 is a good price to wait for. Only for the single player. I don't care about multi-player. Streamed from my PC to Steam Deck is great.

[–] sith@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

Also went for BG1! Seemed like a really good deal.

Newest creaper world

[–] DudeDudenson@lemmings.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Did they release a fifth installment?

[–] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2257010/Creeper_World_IXE/

I've watched a couple gameplay videos by the dev and it looks good.

[–] DudeDudenson@lemmings.world 2 points 1 week ago

I bought it and I'm a bit disappointed, it scratches the creeper itch a bit but it kinda does away with the creeper world formula of making massive bases

[–] Juvyn00b@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Grabbed the mass effect series for under a fiver. Played for a few hours and realized I was not enjoying it at all.

[–] HipsterTenZero@dormi.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

a few games i pirated earlier in the year, heh, and Pathologic 2, Lunacid (as of a few seconds ago), Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 (to check out the openrct2 mod), dwarf fortress, & Odallus the Dark Call.

[–] M137@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Wayfinder, Gothic and Blades of Time so far.

[–] atrielienz@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Neva and Plucky Squire. Oh and Islets.

[–] ExtraMedicated@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I don't remember if it was on sale, but I got 10 Dead Doves on a whim and I'm not dissapointed so far.

[–] Retreaux@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

I ended up getting Metal Gear Rising: Revengence, Sonic Adventure 2, Prey, Daemon X Machina, and Dragon Age 2. I have no regrets in my eclectic sale impulses hahaha

Spiritfarer: Farewell edition, Celeste and Stardew valley.

[–] enshu@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I got

Nightmares I and II
Firewatch
Never Alone

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 2 points 2 weeks ago

I got Life is Strange: Double Exposure. It was meh. Not super bad but had enough bugs to push it in that direction.

After that I played The Excavation of Hob's Barrow which was phenomenal.

[–] Aviandelight@mander.xyz 2 points 2 weeks ago

I didn't pick up any of the deep discount items but I did pick up a few items on my wishlist. I picked up Mouthwashing, WitchSpring R, Little Kitty Big City, the Nonory game collection and Okami HD. I already have the last two but I wanted them in the Steam library so I can play them on my deck.

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

I got:

Saints Row 2022 Not actually that bad honestly. I think we were too harsh on them. It's still fun, the characters are likeable, and it's got all the stuff you expect for a saints row game.

CP Phantom Liberty Not gonna be able to get this played for a bit but I'm hopeful.

Anemoiapolis I like backrooms and I got Pools a few weeks ago but got kind of bored so hopefully this one is better since it has actual puzzles.

I'm spoilering these. You know what that means. Don't fucking @ me.

spoiler

Mage Kanade's Futanari Dungeon Quest

Midnight Castle Succubus

Tower and Sword: Succubus These last two are part of a series, and I already played Castle in the Clouds. Even without the porn it's still a competent side scroller action platformer so I have good hopes for these two.

Might get more idk.

[–] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 1 points 2 weeks ago

I recently learned about "From the depths" because of Martincintopants Video about it. Yesterday evening I saw, that it was 50% off and bought it immediately.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 1 points 2 weeks ago

Outpost Infinity, Executive Assault and something that was cheap and on my wishlist for a long time, totalling BRL 89 (~15 dollars)

[–] Ozymandias1688@feddit.org 1 points 2 weeks ago

Thaumaturge. Very atmospheric I think. Also, I think the setting is quite fresh, and I think that should be rewarded.

[–] sith@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Lots of CRPG and TRPG. A few experimental indie RTS. And a few indie auto-battlers. Plus a few casual co-op shooters. Oh, and some indie horror as well.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Caves of Qud or Path of Achra (I got them both). Aren't we hipster enough?
