- Keep talking and nobody explodes: incredible fun with friends, even better if the help has the documents physically printed, there’s this magic that happens when you frantically search for the right page and try to keep calm
- Titanfall 2 : worth it just for the campaign, I don’t know about the state of multiplayer anymore, I last played it last year, people were understandably sweaty
- Vermintide 2 : in its best state ever it seems, hours of fun and great challenges
- Firewatch : nice story, beautiful art direction
- Metro Exodus : superb open world

Titanfall 2 multiplayer is still up and running! Both PvP and Co-op!
inlandempire@jlai.lu 4 months ago
Oh yeah coop was my favourite, the difficulty always felt right
Narauko@lemmy.world 4 months ago
All excellent recommendations, and I’ll triple down on the Vermintide 2 recommendation. One of the best bang for buck indi games out there. Darktide has similarly hit a state where I can recommend it as well finally, even if it took an embarrassingly long time to get to a Vermintide 2 level of playability. If you like the -tide games, give it a go.

Ballionaire is a pretty great stoner game. It’s a pachinko roguelite–excuse me, autobonker
Lojcs@lemm.ee 4 months ago
Shamelessly copying my comment:
In order,
Chorus - AA paranormal 3d spaceship combat game
Cyber Hook - First person grapple hook platform racer
Tangle Tower - Charming point and click detective game
Patch Quest - Bullet hell roguelike
Subsurface Circular - Robot murder mystery visual novel
Yes Your Grace - Addictive story driven king resource management game
They Bleed Pixels - Brutal 2d action platformer
Devil Daggers - Single arena fps where you try to survive 500 seconds (and fail)
Loop Hero Soundtrack - Cheating here because the game is pretty well known, but its soundtrack is amazing enough to buy or pirate even if you don’t want to play itSurp@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Grim dawn is the best arpg of all time imo even better than d2
AlphaOmega@lemmy.world 4 months ago
It’s like $2.50
weew@lemmy.ca 4 months ago
But the DLC is 10x that
etchinghillside@reddthat.com 4 months ago
And it works offline.
Macaroni_ninja@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Cant go wrong with Grim Dawn. One of the best modern arpgs with regular huge updates, expansions and modding support.
tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 4 months ago
I played through it again a couple months ago but when I went to check the DLC it looks like they haven’t ever done more than 35% discount even though they came out in 2017 and 2019. Meanwhile the base game has done 90% off in the past (also the current price). Guess they figure if you like it enough to go looking for DLC you’ll probably pay more.
bobotron@sh.itjust.works 4 months ago
Just when I thought I kicked that game they bringing out a new expansion
Blackmist@feddit.uk 4 months ago
Picked up Firewatch and Divinity Original Sin 1&2.
FW is a short and sweet walking sim. Well worth the £1.60 or whatever I paid for it.
No opinion on DOS yet because I doubt I’ll play that before the new year.
Maalus@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Divinity 2 is great, it’s similar to BG3 (since the same studio made it) just not as long / expansive. The main gimmick of the game is you can spill shit on the floor to change how the next battle plays out, barrelmancers will love it.
camr_on@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Xcom 2 complete for like 10 or so. Excellent deal
grandkaiser@lemmy.today 4 months ago
Gonna shill for war of the chosen real quick:
WotC fixes a lot of serious integral problems in the base game. In my opinion, XCOM enemy unknown is better than XCOM 2, but WotC easily beats both.
ragica@lemmy.ml 4 months ago
My suggestion for the steam winter sale is chech out the GOG winter sale. But maybe that’s just me.
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 4 months ago
Maybe make a separate post for it?
Retro_unlimited@lemmy.world 4 months ago
These are the ones I was interested in.
I went for a few bundles because I already owned thief sim and one of the metro games, so the bundles were an even better deal.
I checked the steam dab website and a lot of these were all time low.
Lojcs@lemm.ee 4 months ago
Yay for state of decay 2!
Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 months ago
At first I thought you had “CHANGED” and immediately thought “ah, fellow degenerate”
That game is way too hard tho
donio@lemmy.world 4 months ago
The Binding of Isaac Rebirth Complete Bundle as well as its individual components are at a new all time low. The game is an absolute classic and (to me) it’s still the best at what it does. It’s perfect on the Steam Deck too.
If you like the base game I highly recommend all the DLCs. Besides a ton of new content they also add many quality of life changes that make the game even more enjoyable.
Gutless2615@ttrpg.network 4 months ago
Patient in that it came out way back at the beginning of twenty ‘ought twenty-four, cheap in that its fifty percent off; the new prince of Persia game is precisely correctly priced at twenty dollars and fun as hell.
TwoBeeSan@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Pillars of eternity series. $25.
Europa Universalis Ultimate is like $45 Gonna see if i have the patience for that map game madness.
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 4 months ago
Europa Universalis Ultimate
It’s my favorite game, but you really need to put in a ton of time to really get much out of it.
That said, EU5 is probably going to be announced sometime next year given the dev diaries we’ve had, which means this will probably get another steep discount (and maybe a Humble Bundle or something) and you may want to just get the next game after a year or so. It’s a good price IMO, but I only recommend getting it if you’ll play it in the next few months.

Planetcoaster for 1,89€ is hard to beat
tauonite@lemmy.world 4 months ago
I rarely buy games even on sale (don’t remember when I last bought a game, must not have been this year) but I’m definitely getting that one! That’s a steal. Just… how do I set a reminder to buy it in the morning? (okay I added an event in my calendar, I think I’m good)
Blaze@sopuli.xyz 4 months ago
Here’s another reminder just in case!
CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 4 months ago
Hey, it’s me, your reminder. Did you buy your game?
M0oP0o@mander.xyz 4 months ago
From The Depths.
Half off, stupid time sink.
Maalus@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Incredibly hard an unintuitive though. Expect to need to watch countless tutorials before you build something usable. Defo not really for people who game like 3hrs a week.
M0oP0o@mander.xyz 4 months ago
Oh yes, the learning curve is almost a wall.
mke@programming.dev 4 months ago
I wish there was something between World of Warships and Mr. Here’s Literal Hours Worth of Interactive Presentations to Learn my Bespoke Mechanics. I haven’t found the time, nor the strength, to have another go at it.
M0oP0o@mander.xyz 4 months ago
Thats the joy of the time sink the game is. I wish to find at least one more game like it I can really get into.
Rose@lemmy.zip 4 months ago
The Last Case of Benedict Fox being around 90% off was the only one with an acceptable price tag for me. Got it even cheaper via a bundle because I already owned Arise.
jacksilver@lemmy.world 4 months ago
I thought the game was okay. Combat was a bit wonky and the story a bit hard to follow, but do to the length it may be worth it. Especially if your into occult magic/cthulu themes.
SolOrion@sh.itjust.works 4 months ago
The Owlcat Pathfinder CRPGs aren’t on the deep discounts list, but Kingmaker is 85% off ($2.99) and Wrath Of The Righteous is 70% off ($11.99). Both are solid games.

[deleted]Wimopy@feddit.uk 4 months ago
Do you have any sources for this? I tried to look into it, but I can’t find them making any political statements and they seem to be mostly centred in Cyprus, so how much do they actually support Russia besides being (originally?) Russian and thus at risk if speaking out against Putin?
SolOrion@sh.itjust.works 4 months ago
Well, shit. TIL. That sucks.
asret@lemmy.zip 4 months ago
Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous is an amazing game if you can look past the politics though. Also, the spyware thing is pretty standard now - it’s usually called “telemetry” in most EULAs. I haven’t read it closely enough to know if they’re overreaching any worse than others, but they did walk back including the AppFlyer tool after pushback from users.
MagicalHammer@lemmynsfw.com 4 months ago
Diablo 4 is 40$cad, but it’s working really well on the steam deck.
neon_nova@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 months ago
I have been considering this. Is it a fun solo game? Any problems on the deck, like small text? I also wonder if there are any problems with it being always online.
MagicalHammer@lemmynsfw.com 4 months ago
Yeah it’s fun if you like games with a dark atmosphere. The text is perfect and the game is fully voiced over as well. The interface gets some time getting used to. It’s a lot of features crammed on the screen.
CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 4 months ago
I’d recommend Last Epoch, lots of interesting customization options but not overwhelming like PoE.
I did not expect when I created a rogue to be using 2 handed maces, but zipping around swinging the heaviest weapon I could find 5 times a second was very satisfying.
sj_zero 4 months ago
I picked up scribblenauts unmasked for like 90% off, I've always loved the series (though I find unlimited has fewer puzzles...)
stevedice@sh.itjust.works 4 months ago
Can someone recommend some good 3-player games? Already bought Aliens: FE and I’m sick of Apex and DOOM.
SolOrion@sh.itjust.works 4 months ago
It’s not very patient gamer of me, but if you want specifically 3-player games Space Marine 2 comes to mind immediately. Kinda pricey, though.
mossy_@lemmy.world 4 months ago
The Trine series comes to mind
loanrangerofpeanuts@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Any of the classic valve games (half life, portal, and their sequels). If auto shooters are your thing, vampire survivors is less than a small coffee. Dead space (the remake) is $15. Halo MCC is $10. Titanfall 2 is $3. The “new” tomb raider trilogy are all less than $5 each or get the bundle. Alan wake is $5. Prey is $3. And Batman Arkham origins is $2.
Just a handful of good games for cheap. There’s many more out there.
Montagge@lemmy.zip 4 months ago
I wish Halo MCC had split screen on PC
Qkall@lemmy.ml 4 months ago
there’s a mod that works pretty well for that… nucleuscoop (it might have rebranded… haven’t loaded it in a bit)
SolOrion@sh.itjust.works 4 months ago
Lot of great suggestions here- I grabbed MCC myself. Was kinda stunned that it’s… five? I think five games ranging from absolutely era defining (at least for me) to solid games for $10 is an excellent deal.
Albbi@lemmy.ca 4 months ago
I got the new Tomb Raider games free on Epic, but it seemed more like torture porn than a game. Had to turn it off.
stevedice@sh.itjust.works 4 months ago
lol, yeah. The animators definitely have a kink. They’re still pretty fun games, though.
