Let’s share some good deals!

I haven’t really found anything, hence why I’m curious to what everyone else is picking up.

      Play The Hex next! Go in blind, and don’t mind the graphics—they’ll make sense.

      It’s by the creator of Inscryption and I think it’s his finest work yet.

        Hah, I even got the pack with Pony Island because it was a few cents cheaper lol! Will check it out, thanks :D

          Pony island is a hoot! I knocked it out in a couple hours.

          I SAVORED The Hex though. After 50-some hours of Inscryption I thought there’s no way The Hex could compare… I have a lot more play time in Inscryption, but overall I thought The Hex was fucking brilliant. Hard recommend to anyone who likes Mullins’ games.

    I’m very tempted to get Dead Cells’ Castlevania DLC, but I haven’t been in the mood for metroidvanias lately. The base game is fantastic, though, and I absolutely recommend.

    Last summer I got one year of gamepass for free with the MS rewards program (before it was nerfed into oblivion), and I played a grand total of… Three games on it. Maybe four? Gaming doesn’t excite me like it used to. It’s not that good games aren’t released anymore. I guess I just got older and my taste changed.

    I bought Golf with Friends and gifted another copy to a friend of mine, just to spend some good time with them. Nothing else really excites me.

      Maybe an unpopular opinion but I liked DOS2 more than BG3. Not to say I don’t love BG3, but I love DOS2

        I’ve read this opinion a few times actually which is great news for me. Bg3 was the game that pulled me back from a long hiatus from gaming and after finishing it I was kinda lost about what to play next. Lookin forward to playing it.

      Dunno if it’s on sale, but Solasta Crown of the Magister is a great dnd game made by a small studio. It’s much shorter, but imo the general mechanics are really good and the use of height in combat is better than in bg3.

          As they are a small studio, they did not have the money to buy all dnd licensed content upfront (Wizard if the Coast makes it quite expensive). When the game was a success, they added dlcs for additional races/classes they could now afford.
          Lost Valley and Palace of Ice add new campaigns (they are ok but I enjoyed the base campaign more).

          If having all the races and classes from official dnd content matters to you, I would recommend the Unfinished Business mod (you can find it on nexusmods). Personnally I played the first campaign with the limited options from the base game and I still had a real blast :)

        It is! 7€ on steam now. I have never heard of this one but it looks awesome. Into the cart it goes. Thanks for the rec!

        Also not to mention workshop support! There’re a few campaigns that come with the game already, but people can make their own and add them through the steam workshop

      I have a feeling you’ll really enjoy it! DOS1 is also awesome but rough around the edges in comparison. The story is super whimsical though. I really loved the story in dos 1 lol

        Ah thanks for the recommendation! Due to kids and life in general I am about 7-8 years behind when it comes to gaming. It’s nice being able to get back to playing every now and then. Also, no need to get latest and pay full price which is also nice.

      Whilst we’re recommending… >:3 points at Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, grins :D

      Character creation is the first boss 😅 Took me… many hours to beat that one. Good luck! :D

    Likely nothing, too much backlog from last sale still. I wish there was a deeper discount on bg3 though

      It’s unfair how fun Balatro is. You’d think someone would’ve thought of the concept years ago.

      Night in the Woods is an okay story/adventure game, but man the soundtrack for that game is a real earworm. Years later now and some of the town jingles still pop into my head randomly. RIP to the composer who passed away way too young.

      I’m not going to elbow drop Owlboy, but I think you should try it within the refund window because in my opinion it’s way overhyped, and does not deliver much mechanically.

      Rdr2 I bought full price and don’t regret so if you can get it for cheaper it is worth if you like slower paced games. I know some people can find it boring especially the beginning parts but the story is great.

      RDR2 has been the most immersive game I played in years. It’s to beautiful and the world is built really well.

        I’m considering pirating the game, since I bought it 2 years ago and have been unable to login to my rockstar account or receive any help from support. I bought the game, just can’t play it because of the launcher. I’ve only played about 1hr through, I know the game has so much more to offer

    I considered getting TW Warhammer III … at least until I saw the scandalous prices for it’s DLCs.

      Yea…

      If that’s any consolation, I bought the game before the DLCs came out, and it was more than enough to have fun with it.

        I bought the deluxe version so I think I have it. I just found out you know who got the BIG C.
