I went ahead and bought a bunch of indie games, picked up Darkchaser, Oxygen Not Included, and UFO50, and also grabbed Cities: Skylines. Got used to the launch prices of some AAA games, buying these discounted low-priced games really doesn’t hurt much.
Haven’t bought yet but I’m thinking of getting Old School Rally. I played a few racing games that looked just like this when I was a child so the visuals are giving me intense nostalgia
This game is fun! It’s still early access, but it is worth the regular price. There’s a decent amount of courses and the driving physics are fun. If you are talking about the old Colin McCrae games this will be your jam.
I played this one and wasn’t super impressed with it. It’s fine but the levels are very simple and don’t have that dangerous rally style to them. It felt more like you’re just driving on casual dirt roads.
Slime Rancher for $2 is 100% worth it! It’s one of those games where gameplay becomes kind of meandering once you’ve seen the sights and built the things, but it’s a very unique experience.
Edit. I’m not sure what the difference is between deluxe and ultimate but for a couple more dollars i got the ultimate. Might as well while it’s still available.
I bought this last time it was on sale, and while the game is fun I have a word of warning for people looking to buy this to play with friends: The online is NOT stable!
It often hangs while connecting to a race and waits for the server upwards of multiple minutes. That’s bad since a race itself can be a minute or two long. Also, you can’t race against each other with AI cars, the options are either playing co-op which is piss easy or face each other alone. Races are just a bit lonely with 2 or 3 players.
Multiplayer aside, Forza is a really fun time, I just wouldn’t buy it if you’re mainly looking to play with friends.
Also, if it gets delisted, you will be unable to play single player or multiplayer. I found this out the hard way with Forza Motorsport 7 and Gran Turismo Sport.
I have the physical DVDs or BluRay disks for both games. Neither will work even for single player because you have to download the tracks from the server every single race. No server means no tracks.
Man I’m the same. I have a couple hours screen time after work but often I’m tired an just wanna read a book.
I’ve only just started gaming again after a twenty year gap so I’ve got a big wishlist. I get excited about games that I want to play, buy them on sale - and then don’t have time to play them.
I started gaming when pong and space invaders were cutting edge. There’s just so much cool stuff out there these days, damn we’re lucky, I just wish I had more playtime!
FF7 Remake. I tried a “demo” and have been waiting for a sale. It’s still more than I’d like to spend on the game, but I want to go back and continue my saved game.
The only thing I care about on the store right now is the factorio dlc, and that’s never gonna go on sale. I’ll probably buy that once I finish all the achievements for satisfactory.
I can only recommend it. After about 60 hours I finally landed on vulcanus and I’m now experiencing the feeling of how it is to getting used to all of these long and complex Ressource chains.
After 60 hours I finally left Gleba. As soon as I got “home” had to head back to Gleba. Still stuck there. In the beginning I hate Gleba, now I love it. It gave me back the feeling of playing Factorio for the first time, running around and know nothing (and I I have over 3.5k hours).
10/10 would recommend the DLC.
After 200 hours I have a “factory” on Vulcanus, Fulgora, and Gleba. I need to redesign all four factories, including Nauvis, at this point to use Foundries, and Electromagnetic Plants at scale, oh and Biological Science Labs. I have finally started learning circuit networks and train scheduling.
I had over 3000 hours in the game previously, got all the achievements that didn’t require a time limit, and had beaten Pyanodon, SeaBlock, Bob’s and Angel’s overhaul, and several other overhaul mods that I don’t remember, but I never managed to fully finish Space Exploration because of randomly generated items, and a complete inability to comprehend how the old circuit network worked.
Space Age is absolutely the best of all the overhaul mods combined into one single expansion pack. I cannot wait to get to the Shattered Planet and find out what no one has shown yet. I’ll be weeks behind them when I get there, I’m sure
Get it as soon as you can afford it. As you have already noticed, the price only goes up, and it never goes on sale. The people that made this game know that they made digital crack, and aren’t inclined to spread the addiction.
I already played Haven on GamePass a few years ago, but I wanted to own it because it’s very good (also to support the developers). As for Talos, I played the original twice and absolutely loved it, so I’m eager to play the sequel.
I played Talos principal 2 this year and it honestly blew me away. It goes without saying the puzzles were intriguing but the story, world building, atmosphere and dialogue are the real stars of the experience.
Sorry to hear that. Sail the high seas with no worries. You can still contribute to digital preservation of games by seeding. But don’t worry if you can’t do that.
Yeah I got the steam deck in the early spring this year and am still trying to get through Witcher 3 and fallout 4. I have a handful of games I got for PC back 15 years ago on steam that I still need to work on after that
My only word if caution is that the game will start you on Scout, and it feels miserable. You’ll unlock Gunner pretty quickly, so it doesn’t hurt for too long. The Warthog is completely cracked. If you see it, take it. Have fun, miner!

I like this game a lot. Played the Colin McRae and Sega Rally games as a kid, this game captures that feeling.
Normally play rally sims in my sim pit, it’s nice to have something very casual to play on Steam Deck
I played this one and wasn’t super impressed with it. It’s fine but the levels are very simple and don’t have that dangerous rally style to them. It felt more like you’re just driving on casual dirt roads.
I’m gonna grab slimerancher.
You’re not alone, seems like the game has its moment now :)
Slime Rancher for $2 is 100% worth it! It’s one of those games where gameplay becomes kind of meandering once you’ve seen the sights and built the things, but it’s a very unique experience.
Forza Horizon 4 has 80% discount and it will get delisted this December.
All DLCs are now on simple Deluxe and Ultimate edition.
Might as well grab it before gone.
Yeah I grabbed that too! Also Mad Max for like $3
That game was great. I might pick it up…
Edit. I’m not sure what the difference is between deluxe and ultimate but for a couple more dollars i got the ultimate. Might as well while it’s still available.

Nothing, I got more than enough games left to play:
… and actually a bunch more I can’t even recall right now…

Not on steam, but I bought Haven and The Talos Principle 2 on GoG.
I already played Haven on GamePass a few years ago, but I wanted to own it because it’s very good (also to support the developers). As for Talos, I played the original twice and absolutely loved it, so I’m eager to play the sequel.
I played Talos principal 2 this year and it honestly blew me away. It goes without saying the puzzles were intriguing but the story, world building, atmosphere and dialogue are the real stars of the experience.
Nothing, I’m from Argentina and now if I buy a game I can’t eat for a weak.

I hope things get better for you!
Im seeding as no one with my 4tb disk and 30mb of upload 💪
Oh, shit, there’s a sale?
https://store.steampowered.com
Hmmm… old games I already own, games I won’t bother downloading…
Epic Mickey Rebrushed for $30 isn’t bad.
Space Marines II for $47.99 needs a bigger discount…
Space Marine II came out only a few months ago, expect a deeper discount mid '25.
They’re on no traffic lights, crossing points, or bicycles in that image.
I have too much of a backlog of games i haven’t played yet. I did not buy anything. Friendly reminder to play your playlist before buying a new game.
Yeah I got the steam deck in the early spring this year and am still trying to get through Witcher 3 and fallout 4. I have a handful of games I got for PC back 15 years ago on steam that I still need to work on after that
This is truth, although i did pick up Cities:Skylines. I’ve got to get through all the other Paradox games from the time they had the bundle sale
I haven’t played any game I bought last autumn sale ¯_(ツ)_/¯
🤣
Deep Rock Galactic Survivor. I like to play casual games after work to de-stress a bit. Mostly tower defense games. Hoping this one will work well
My only word if caution is that the game will start you on Scout, and it feels miserable. You’ll unlock Gunner pretty quickly, so it doesn’t hurt for too long. The Warthog is completely cracked. If you see it, take it. Have fun, miner!
I bought that Saturday morning at full price. No regerts. In 5 days, I dumped about 30 hours into it.
Found myself doing “tips and tricks” research already, so I think it’s safe to say I’ll be dumping a lot of time into the game
I’m really tempted to pick up Psychonauts 2 which is currently 90% off.
Do yourself a favor and do it. It’s honestly an actual masterpiece of gaming imo.
I got it full price and it was worth it
Thank you for the heads up, been wanting to play this for quite a while. Absolutely loved the first game.
Sorry but I don’t see any bikes nor traffic lights on your captcha.
