Gaming

We all have hundreds of games that are $0, it's called "all the games in your steam account you already own that you haven't played yet".

Wandersong is $7 USD right now and it's a real gem if you like more casual games. It's a 2D adventure game where you interact with the world by singing. It's cozy and heartwarming, and I'd recommend it to anybody who might be into that kind of experience.

Also Prey is the opposite of heartwarming but it's one of my all time favorite games (easily top 5) and it's somehow $3 right now.

Same goes for the whole Dishonored series.

Might finally pick up Risk of Rain 2...

Meh. I'm seeing a lot of prices that aren't even that close to historical lows. e.g. Mass Effect Legendary was $10 somewhere recently but now it's $12 on Steam (though I'm not giving EA any money for it until they fix the stupid launcher for good on Steam Deck).

Prototype is like $4 though, might snag that if I don't already own a copy elsewhere.

Chants of Sennaar is on sale. Found out about it here.

I suspect there's a limited target demographic, but I was a linguistics major for a time.

Just picked up Kenshi.. becasue I'm a masochist.

Not exactly hidden gems, but I finally bought Stray. Also decided to pick up Xenonauts. I can't decide whether I should grab Phoenix Point though. I keep eyeing up Terra Invicta too, but I'm almost positive it's going to be a bit too much micromanagement for me to enjoy it.

Disco Elysium is a good one but I know I don't have the time right now.

Maybe I get me another Metroidvania.
I have Blasphemous (which I think was already on sale), Bloodstained RotN or Sundered EE on my wishlist, but again I would probably just make the pile of shame grow.

Unfortunately not at all. I was excited for Persona 5 Royal and was prepared to purchase it again (got it on PS5). Wanted to play it with a Trainer for fun.

However the discount is meh for an rebuy, it’s like €35(?). Was more hoping for €15-20.

I snagged a bunch of Williams pinball tables already. Very excited to be able to play No Good Gophers in the comfort of my own home.

May also finally pull the trigger on Cyberpunk now.

I got besiege for 5$CAD, had been waiting for a sale to finally buy it

Got:

Halo: master collection for €10 Broforce €3 Prey €3

Not a hidden gem but whenever it's on sale I personally recommend: Enter the Gungeon!

A rogue-lite/like? Game that has puns for everything gun and bullet related.

See if you can survive the Gungeon and kill your past!

"Kill your past, you already damned your future!"

I see darkest dungeon 2 is on sale. I remember being excited to play it on release before seeing it was an exclusive, so I might pick it up on sale now.

I'm debating whether to get "Total War: Warhammer" (just part 1) and/or "V rising". They both appeal to me but I'm a frugal/patient gamer and the deals don't appear to be that special

Mighty Gunvolt Burst is a great Mega Man-style platformer

Project Highrise was like $3.60

Just got 'Metal: Hellsinger' It's pretty fun take on the Doom-like Shooter genre.

Also got 'Dredge'. Very chill, while being a creepy lovecraftian fishing game.

Both games are really good, if a bit short. But for the discounted price, the length of them is just fine.

I got one of those new Steam Deck OLEDs today and am thinking about getting some casual games for that (even though I got a ton of stuff in my backlog).

Dave the Diver is currently the forerunner, and maybe Mega Man Battle Network. I might just wait until the Steam Winter Sale though, since the prices won't be worse, and maybe even a tiny bit better.

surprisingly switch has a better sale than steam for once (at least for my wishlists)

I picked up Bonelab. Going to play it as soon as I'm home from work. I just hope it won't cost me $300 in controllers.
