To be honest I have plenty of games in my backlog to play. Buuuut if there are any really good deals on Tunic, Pizza Tower, Tetris Effect or Cult of the Lamb I maybe consider them.

I should probably reduce my backlog first though...

[–] shadow01@lemmy.legally-berlin.de 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Got cult of the lamb in the last sale. Was really fun and ran well. A bit repetitive with managing the cult in my opinion. But there is an option to stop time while you are on crusade (and cooking without minigane. With that it was worth it :)

Wait what? You have to play your games first before you can buy more? Well, fuck.

[–] OmegaMouse@feddit.uk 3 points 1 year ago

I wish - If that was the case I wouldn't be in this situation :'( My will power is not strong

[–] Hondolor@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

We all do xD, and yet we will still buy more games because steam summer sale!

[–] Flaky@iusearchlinux.fyi 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Same. I'm playing Watch Dogs Legion right now, gonna finish the main story before I choose another game.

[–] OmegaMouse@feddit.uk 3 points 1 year ago (4 children)

I've never tried the Watch Dogs games - what do you think of Legion?

Hoping for a sale on Tunic. I picked it up on my Switch but honestly have been far happier with Deck performance of games I have on both platforms that I'd rather go through it on the Deck

[–] glasslyrata@mander.xyz 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Tunic is also on my wishlist. Crossing fingers!

Yeah I want to play as a cat but Stray is too little content for its full price.

[–] ElkanNixed@programming.dev 13 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Oh darn. Since I have a Steam Deck I've been wishlisting games like a mad man. It's going to hard to not buy new games. One of the reasons I got a Deck is that I want to clear out by backlog.

[–] MartianFox@feddit.de 6 points 1 year ago

I am actually exactly the same 😂 Wishlist is exploding since getting the Deck, sadly time to game is not.

[–] OmegaMouse@feddit.uk 4 points 1 year ago

The endless cycle...

According to protondb, it runs much better now. However, isn't it a bit early to be part of the sale?

[–] plexnose@geddit.social 3 points 1 year ago

They might put it at 20% off maybe

[–] thesanewriter@vlemmy.net 10 points 1 year ago

I'll be honest, I own so many games from the last sale that I'm probably going to sit this one out. I have something like 140 games, and of those the majority are on my backlog, so I won't be running out any time soon.

[–] Fubarberry@lemmy.fmhy.ml 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Probably can't expect much of a sale since it's still in early access, but Shadows of Doubt has captured my attention like few other games and I'm really looking for an excuse to pick it up.

[–] mabd@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

There's nothing else like it, even in its current early access state. Can't wait to see where they go with it.

[–] JCreazy@midwest.social 7 points 1 year ago (7 children)

I've heard Prey is good so I'm hoping that goes on sale.

[–] HiT3k 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

@JCreazy@midwest.social @chri1stian@lemmy.ml Prey is free on GOG via Prime, if you want to give it a shot on Windows or get GOG running on Deck.

It was being given away on Amazon Prime Gaming recently, not sure if it still is. Redeemed as a GOG code.

[–] chri1stian@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I haven't heard much about that one. What excited you about it?

[–] Coeus@coeus.sbs 4 points 1 year ago

It's sci Fi and it looks cool I guess.

All about indies at this point for me! I found these after slashing my wishlist in half!

. Rusted Moss . Roboquest . Protodroid DeLTA

[–] sake@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I'll buy the Dock if it's on sale. I might actually buy it anyways but might as well wait one day to see if I can save a few bucks.

I've put off buying it since honestly it feels a bit overpriced since you can get a hub that does pretty much the same job for 20€.

[–] cron@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

I bought a 3rd party "Deck Dock" that works perfectly fine for 30€ or so.

[–] ElkanNixed@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Looks like it's on sale.. 20% off. I'm in doubt, not sure if I'm going to use it as much as I think.

I've got several games on my wishlist, but I don't know how many of them are available with full support on SteamDeck 🤔

Anyway, God of War could be the only one I would buy this season.

[–] wagesof@links.wageoffsite.com 4 points 1 year ago

Even if it doesn't say it has support if it has controller support and doesn't require anticheat you've got a great chance that it will be fine.

Viva la return policy!

[–] plexnose@geddit.social 4 points 1 year ago

I bought it and runs and looks great - only thing is, I got bored about 1/3 of the way in - its very repetitive.

[–] Flaky@iusearchlinux.fyi 4 points 1 year ago

Hi-Fi Rush, BallisticNG, Klonoa, TMNT: Shredder's Revenge, PowerWash Sim, Symphony, Invector: Rhythm Galaxy. Maybe Marble It Up too.

The rest are games that work better on PC (e.g. supports steering wheels, requires a beefy PC).

[–] xoniq@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Gonna be a though sale for my wallet. In the coming week I’m hospitalized 😂 so I need a few games to burn.

[–] maiskanzler@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

Won't be on sale, but if you like city builders or similar stuff, try Factorio! It looks a bit weird and anachronistic at first but BOY is that ever an addictive game! I already spent over 50 hours in it since I bought it several weeks ago. For comparison: I have about 200 hours in Cities: Skylines, one of my absolute favourite games ever!

Nothing probably. I have WAY too many games already. I had to force myself to cut down on just buying new ones instead of playing the ones I already have. I might treat myself to Baldur's Gate 3 in August tho.

[–] Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago

I don't have any particular games in mind, but I'm sure I'll pick up a few things. I've really been enjoying casual games lately - I just beat Defense Grid 1 and 2, and Monster Train, so I'm looking for something along those lines.

[–] pipariturbiini@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Going to buy Hunt: Showdown with my friend. We're burned out from PUBG and want to broaden our game choices.

I'm really hoping for decent sales on God of War or Kena: Bridge of Spirits.

[–] chungus@thechurchofmemes.com 3 points 1 year ago

I'm hoping Earth Defense Force 5 goes on sale so I can pressure some friends into getting it to play with me.

[–] caffeinePlease@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Hopefully nothing I want goes on sale. I have to cut back on my spending.

Although, I have $30 set aside for games every month, so you never know.

[–] MothrOfChrst@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't even know yet. I finally just got my Deck (showed up at my door yesterday) so it's all a whole new world for me at the moment lol.

Will happily take recommendations from people that have them to give, though!

[–] JowlesMcGee@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I enjoyed Brotato on the deck, it’s a very good pick up and play title that works well with the deck. Vampire survivor is also good, but it has performance issues on the deck by the late game.

Final Fantasy X worked great on deck, so if it’s on sale and you like JRPGs I’d recommend it

[–] MothrOfChrst@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Cool, thank you! I've heard good things about Brotato and am definitely planning to check out both that and Vampire Survivors on Deck.

FFX is one I wouldn't have thought about - might be worth a try!

[–] FrankTheHealer@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Cuphead, Control, Persona 5

Might have to see though, dont have much cash rn
