A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Caves of Qud has a small discount. I’ve been playing it a lot lately on the Steam Deck.

Anno 1800 is 5 bucks. I love it, but you need to deal with Uplay as well

in all seriousness, you can't go very wrong with games made by valve, portal especially.

Good Old Games.

Borderlands 3, if you somehow missed it, for under £5 is just a good value.

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world -1 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

Idk why you got downvoted. Borderlands 3 for $6 is a pretty good deal. And $16 for the complete edition isn't bad either. I already own the full collection on steam so I can't see the price of that, but when I bought it during the last sale I wanna say I spent like maybe $50 on the entire Borderlands series.

There really is a "Lemmy hive mind" starting to form, just like reddit.

there's an option to split the updown vote display on Lemmy

[–] Bloodyhog@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

I don't think there were downvotes, just me myself removing 1 upvote (as I am a shy person). I bought it at full price myself, and have no regrets.

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

I just bought Suicide Squad (I know, I know, but it was on sale and I want to experience it at least a little); Pine; and Sniper Elite 2R, 3 and 4.

I'm very excited to get into the Sniper Elite games. I played 5 back when I had Game Pass, but never finished. I figured the others might be just as good.

I got myself and can recommend:
Returnal (29.99€) (Rogue-like shooter),
Wisper (6.99€) (Open world exploration) and Crossroads OS (3.74€) (Puzzle game).
I can further recommend:

Studio System (8.84€) (Horror),
With My Past (6.59€) (Puzzle),
Signalis (13.99€) (Horror).

I fucking loved Returnal on ps5 and it’s a steal for the sale price right now!!

[–] sudneo@lemm.ee 1 points 6 hours ago

I picked up civilization VI (for my PC), hades and outer wilds for my deck.

[–] MortUS@lemmy.world 11 points 14 hours ago

Talos Principle is $5

Talos Principle 2 is $15

Highly recommend both games!
