I bought a bunch of discounted CRPGs on Steam and GOG last month, I don’t want to buy anything this time. Let’s see if I can resist…
Steam winter sale is live. What patient games are you picking up?

Anything in particular?

I think it’s been 3 consecutive years now that ive been waiting on a deep sale for some titles, but they have yet to reach lower than 10 bucks (max I’m willing to pay).
Some of them aren’t particularly old releases so I dont mind waiting more:
- Signalis
- Caravan SandWitch
- UFO50
- Season
- System Shock (remake)
- No Man’s Sky
- Red Dead Redemption 2
- Nier Automata
I might get those:
- Rain World
- Weird West
- Card Shark
- OlliOlli World

I assume I still got a few years until Baldur’s Gate 3 dips below $20.

If you wait too long, larian’s new game will be out

Yeah! I’m wanting that game.
I have about $15 in steam credit, so I’m thinking of just pulling the trigger even though I have other games I’m actively playing.

At first I read “Wired West” and got hopeful for a new person experiencing Dust for the first time.

I grabbed a bunch of adventures over at GOG: Beyond the Edge of Owlsgard, The Last Door, Black Mirror, Quern, and newly rereleased JRPG classic Breath of Fire IV.
AceFuzzLord@lemmy.zip 1 hour ago
Okay, no spoilers, but I personally really liked Beyond the Edge of Owlsgard a fair bit. It was the first point and click adventures I’ve played, unless I’m mistaken, and it’s amazing IMO.
No spoiler to a certain scene but my favorite line in the game comes from one of the many game overs and it’s just the English voice actor for Finn kinda doing an angry adlibbing right before it happens. Absolute gem of dialogue.

Like, your first ever point and click adventure?

I seem to already have all the deep discounts I‘d be interested in… I currently only buy 80%+ discounts (if anything) since experience has taught me that anything lower than this will get there again very soon, so I’m not missing out by skipping now. I have like 200 untouched games anyway so I‘d probably just be throwing more on the pile… Gifts for friends are in the cart tho

I’m getting a 4-pack of Tabletop Simulator. Not sure if that counts, since I already did that once—I have new people to try to rope into playing boardgames digitally with me, lol.

Board Game Arena is so good already, though!

So far just dlc for games I already own. Maybe I’ll get Slime Rancher.
Nemo@slrpnk.net 9 hours ago
I love Slime Rancher! Highly recommend.

I have a lot of games I haven't played yet in my library, so I will patiently wait for another sale

Slay the spire ringed is the lowest its ever been
Cheems@lemmy.world 4 hours ago
One of my favorite games
Thalfon@sh.itjust.works 3 hours ago
Might be time to grab Psychonauts at -85% (C$12). The first game was great. Not too much else I’ve been tracking is at a price I’d go for at the moment, though I haven’t looked past my wishlist for now.

The one that looks tempting which I might actually get around to playing some day if I buy it is Hades.
belastend@lemmy.dbzer0.com 30 minutes ago
Dooooo iiiiiiit, Hades is so fucking gooooood
psx_crab@lemmy.zip 5 hours ago
Played Hades 1, it’s super good when it clicked, if not it will feels like any other roguelike.
tactoid@lemmy.world 5 hours ago
Hades 1 & 2 are so good!

Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic is usually around $20 and seems worth it at that price and it is at $10 which seems like a genuinely great deal for a city builder/transit game.

Riftbreaker at $11 is tempting too

Darksiders bundle and Halo Master Chief Collection.
Sifu. Not that old but cheap enough
psx_crab@lemmy.zip 6 hours ago
Maybe Wolfenstein 1 or Bloodstained, my list is super long and there’s like tons of game i wanna play. Bang for buck wise i’d go for Wolfenstein 1 & 2 probably.
Vizzerdrix@lemmy.world 3 hours ago
Not sure if it’s part of Winter Sale, but I’ll get Mandragora Whisper of the Witch Tree (I’ll get it on Switch though where it’s also on sale). A work colleague heartily recommended it to me and it looks like a cool game; 2d platformer with hard “soulslike” combat, but doesn’t look like it’s going too hard on the “soulslike”. Supposedly very good exploration.

Ghost of Tsushima for me

I am an fpv rc plane and quad dude and love flying games with fun arcade like physics that make flying more exciting but still retail the the ability to pilot with advanced controls like a pro. Most flying games the controls are either too dumbed down to be fun or too slow place and realistic and the combat feels like you are flying a 747.
Sooo that being said I’m gonna get one of the X4 bundles. I loved Everspace 1 & 2 and saw that X4 was bundled with it cause they were similar games. So at $5 I figure I’ll give it a try.
If you are like me and enjoy this tiny niche of flying games, I recommend Everspace 2, it’s is a great game and it’s only $10 the controls are kinda dumbed down but it’s a blast to play, if you are an experienced fpv done pilot Firehawk FPV is such a badass concept and game and only $15 right now.
If anyone has any other of these type games they would recommend, id love to hear them.
Maestro@fedia.io 1 hour ago
X4 is great! But it's not really a flying game. You start off flying in a space ship yes, but by mid-game you it turns into a grand strategy game. You'll probably spend more time on the map screen and hire an AI pilot to do the flying for you. Still a great game though!

None of my wishlist games were under 10€ so I skipped all of the deals there. Instead I bought (or put to the cart as I wanna sleep over my decisions) lots of DLCs to Total War Warhammers, Powerwash Simulator and other games I already own and like to play.
One new game I want to purchase is the Case of the Golden Idol which looks really interesting
