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.

The Mafia Trilogy is $15 for the whole shebang, or $7.50 for any one of the individual games. I grabbed Mafia 3.

Celeste is 75% off and is a near-masterpiece of a game.

Portal 1 and Portal 2 are on sale again of course on the chance you haven't yet hit these absolutely classic legendary games.

Persona 4 Golden is 40% off and is awesome, and Persona 5 Royal is 60% and is even more awesome.

Metal: Hellsinger is 70% off and while it isn't a GOTY type game, it's a hell of a lot of fun if you're a contemporary metal music fan.

but my biggest recommendation is probably gonna be

Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale at 80% for only $3.99 (US) which is an completely underrated hidden gem of a game and a huge recommendation for anyone who likes quirky cozy-hybrid games or who, like me, spent way too long on the shopkeeper segments in RPGs like Torneko Taloon's chapter in DQIV.

edit: why in the world would anyone ever downvote a personal recommendation comment? Weird behavior, fam

Recettear

This game rocks. 'Nuff said.

That's...weird. When I checked the price yesterday Fallen Order was 18.99? Did they do a deeper discount?

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

You sure you didn't get the price for Survivor?

[–] Bosht@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

Yeah this is probably it. Getting my titles mixed up or something.

Maybe? I see it at $3.99, $4.99 is for the deluxe version. I don't see it at $18.99 on Is There Any Deal, but who knows!

Mass Effect legendary edition (all 3 games + all DLCs) is on for 6 Euro.

That's a great deal IMO

On the third game myself, I can't believe I didn't play these sooner. I understand the hype this series generated now.

[–] Bosht@lemmy.world 5 points 16 hours ago

They may not have lived up to the hype when initially released, which was understandable as there were a lot of promises that weren't keeps, but they are undoubtedly still absolutely amazing games.

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

We picked up Journey and Star Traders Frontier. I've wanted to play Journey since it came out but I didn't have the proper console. Well, I forgot I put it on the wishlist, and that's a real good price so.

I've (sung? musically yelled at?) another person already.

Noita is currently 60% off and is hands down the best game I have ever played (kind of). It is ridiculously brutal and you will die very often but you have the potential to get ludicrously powerful as well. The game will cheese you so don't be afraid to cheese it back. In has so much content that beating the final boss for the first time is considered beating the tutorial.

Also if the some aspects are too bullshit for you there is a variety of mods to fix these, and there is absolutely no shame in using them.

[–] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 13 points 1 day ago (8 children)

Outer Wilds is on sale. Great game if you like space, puzzles or platforming!

[–] MarcomachtKuchen@feddit.org 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

My personal greatest game of all time. Do go on blind tho.

If you are the simmy type or like space, Elite Dangerous is insanely good, but has a learning curve up front. It's the only game I've put over 1,100 hours in and still haven't explored everything.

Subnautica is another game I can highly recommend.

If you wanna play games with friends (Elite is also MP), The Forest is a great game to bond over.

Black mesa is another banger.

[–] _core@sh.itjust.works 6 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

X4 is on sale as well, if you want something similar to Elite

Solasta Crown of the Magister for $8.99.

For me it's the best game ever to capture the D&D feeling. The custom Warlock subclass, Timekeeper, is ridiculously fun.
