I went ahead and bought a bunch of indie games, picked up Darkchaser, Oxygen Not Included, and UFO50, and also grabbed Cities: Skylines. Got used to the launch prices of some AAA games, buying these discounted low-priced games really doesn't hurt much.
I’m gonna grab slimerancher.
You're not alone, seems like the game has its moment now :)
Slime Rancher for $2 is 100% worth it! It's one of those games where gameplay becomes kind of meandering once you've seen the sights and built the things, but it's a very unique experience.
Baldurs Gate 3
Project Zombiod and about to buy Portal Knights.
Project Zombiod
Project Zomboid has been in early access for over 10 years. It was released into early access on Nov 8, 2013, and it's STILL not finished!
Factorio was in early access for 8 years. What's your point? Indy games take a while to develop because they gain haters and naysayers, like you, logarithmically compared to the funding that they get.
So far, Dyson Sphere Program has been in early access for 4 years, and they have one hell of a game.
I technically own Project Zomboid, I just don't really have any particular projects to complete in that platform, so I'm not exactly what you would call a fan of the game. I can see potential for an absolutely immersive RPG that could compete with Fallout 1 and 2 once the developers have time and funding to complete what they want to do.
My power supply on my PC died, so don't have any money for games right now.
I wanted to buy Age of Empires 2 but it seems it is not on sale :(
Im probably only going to get few newer DLCs for American Truck Simulator. Their price finally dropped to -50%
Let me know when they're 75% off. I have have a hard limit of $60 when it comes to spending money on games. It used to be $50 but those days are gone.
i picked up 3 games.
Serious Sam Siberian Mayhem. i liked SS4 a lot and have heard good things about Siberian Mayhem.
Alan Wake American Nightmare. i enjoyed the first Alan Wake game so i'm interested in what AN has to offer.
and Push the Cat with WASD. i played the demo during the summer Next Fest and i was intrigued by it. a nice little brain teaser.
I got a steam deck last spring, before that I've not done any gaming since I had a PS2 so I've got a good twenty years of games to catch up on. It's a bit frustrating how crap I am at gaming, particularly with shooters. I'm trying some different things to try and figure out what I'm into. I recently finished bioshock, so I just bought bioshock infinite. Also alien isolation, Alan wake, resident evil, and Uncharted legacy of thieves collection. I don't get a lot of screen time but I'll find time to try em out and see what grabs me.

Since you have a Steam Deck, did you experiment with gyro and trackpad aim? I suck at controller aiming as well but that makes it so much easier.
Hmm no I haven't. Thanks, maybe I should give it a try. I guess trackpad aim is just using the pads instead of the joystick? I've not used gyros at all, does that require tilting the device? Yeah I seem to be enjoying FPS games but I'm frustrated by how shit I am even on easy mode! I used to be good at unreal tournament way back but seems like games have come a long way since then and I've lost the knack.
I guess trackpad aim is just using the pads instead of the joystick?
You can combine as well. I usually use the stick on the left hand and the trackpad on the right one. You can also go back and forth while playing.
does that require tilting the device?
Yep, you can set it to activate only if your finger is resting on the right joystick. Very useful for precise movement, just bring the camera in an approximate direction with the stick and do the rest with the gyro control.
For the more popular games there's usually a few community profiles you can download and try before messing with Steam Input yourself.
Hmm I'm not sure I like the idea of tilting the device - with the steam deck you're tilting the screen too. Doesn't that impact your view of the screen?
But I'm definitely gonna try your trackpad suggestion. Thanks, I'll see how it goes. Do you use it in hectic situations - like doom etc? Or is it better for sniping and stuff where you have time to aim?
Doesn’t that impact your view of the screen?
Depends on the sensitivity you configure, usually you only tilt a few degress. I do prefer it on a Dualsense controller though with no display attached to the controller.
Do you use it in hectic situations - like doom etc? Or is it better for sniping and stuff where you have time to aim?
Usually for instances where I have time to aim. I have seen quite a few people who are really good with the trackpad but I'm more of a mouse or gyro control guy.
Trackpad rules in strategy games though.
Made sure to only buy some Indies.
As I wanna make sure in the future as well.
While I aint moneybags but more stable than the start od the year.
I wanna make sure I buy one indie game a month when in able to.
Probably Persona 5 at 60% off. I liked 4 and 5 has an incredible reputation.
Wasteland 3 is $8. Seems like a great value.
P5 is sooo good.
If you like P4, you should be in a good spot. Just note its style is like P4 got struck by lightning when drinking Mountain Dew Code Red.
And then, get P3 Reload when it drops in price. My favorite Persona, given a significant glow up.
Nothing yet, maybe the Vampire Survivors Castlevania DLC. Otherwise probably nothing and wait for the Winter Sale.
It's pretty good!
I will probably buy Horizon Forbidden West for my son. Told him to wait until it is discounted. But 40 € is still very much the full price of many other games. And we already bought all the Christmas presents this year. Decisions decisions.
At least I've still got a few more days to decide.
FYI, it's 35€ on green man gaming right now.
Not sure what the price is in Euros, but it's also %41 off on Fanatical.
I bought a bike helmet.
Oh, you meant on steam? Luckily my rig is still out of commission, so nothing.
Copied your homework, bought Darkchaser and Skylines. Both are very cheap and seem quite replayable.
Dishonored 2 and Blood: Fresh Supply
I impulse-buyed Atlyss. Never heard of it before.
IronPineapple played through the demo of that one for a video a couple months ago. It seemed like an interesting game that was a mix of singleplayer and MMO elements. At first glance it'll look like a gooner game.
I‘m considering getting Sizeable and the collection of all the games the Hook guy has made - so basically a buncha puzzle games. I‘m also looking at Psychonauts 2 and the „new“ NFS cause both are five bucks so I‘m like what the hell why not. And Hotline Miami 2, I‘m in the mood for some senseless violence. To top it off, Streets of Rogue and The Messenger. All of it together would come in at exactly 29.99 for me lol
There‘s other games I want more, but they‘re all still more expensive (or close to) than this whole bundle so it‘s not really worth it IMO considering the amount of games I still got anyway.
