I picked up Total War: WARHAMMER III and Pennon and Battle, both strategy games. I’m thinking of getting Baldur’s Gate 3 as well. This should keep me busy for a while. My holiday plan is to stay home and game!

I got Gelatine after forgetting about it being in my wishlist for half a year
Spiritfarer: Farewell edition, Celeste and Stardew valley.

Did they release a fifth installment?
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2257010/Creeper_World_IXE/
I’ve watched a couple gameplay videos by the dev and it looks good.
I bought it and I’m a bit disappointed, it scratches the creeper itch a bit but it kinda does away with the creeper world formula of making massive bases
Wayfinder, Gothic and Blades of Time so far.
Lots of CRPG and TRPG. A few experimental indie RTS. And a few indie auto-battlers. Plus a few casual co-op shooters. Oh, and some indie horror as well.
I’m surprised no one has mentioned Caves of Qud or Path of Achra (I got them both). Aren’t we hipster enough?
Wanted to play It Takes Two with my gf when it launched. Hoping to convince her now that she’s my wife
This is my favorite game ever!!! Enjoy the experience.
Played it with my wife. We both agreed the gameplay is great but the story is awful. We disagreed that they should stay together in the end.
Oh It Takes Two is a good one! Played it with my partner a while back and had a great time!
It Takes Two is an amazing couples game that my girlfriend refuses to play again because of one scene lol
That damned elephant?
Aye, that’s the one.
I haven’t bought anything. We’ve still got another week to go though, so I might pick up something. I’m a patient gamer so I’m still waiting for Cyberpunk and expansion to come down in price. Otherwise there isn’t a whole lot that interests me right now.
I’m mostly waiting on updates for a few games I already own: Balatro is getting a big update in the new year, Enshrouded, Against the Storm, and Timberborn. I should get back in to BG3 too. I bought it on release and put 20 hours in and then just… stopped playing.
I will vouch that even without the Phantom Liberty expansion Cyberpunk 2077 is fantastic. Phantom Liberty is awesome though, the story is intriguing and the new area is really well done. Everytime I visit Dogtown in that game I’m always like “damn this place is a fucking trash warzone,” the devs really nailed the vibes.
Anyways absolutely amazing game, and it’s half off it probably won’t go below half off for another year I’m guessing. Like you, I got into it after some major updates so I didn’t experience all the crap at release - to me the game is a masterpiece.
lockdown protocol and astroneer is pretty solid
Firewatch
I picked that up too and the first 5 minutes I was not prepared for.
I played it yesterday for the first time and i was having a mental crisis with those initial choices
I didn’t pick up any of the deep discount items but I did pick up a few items on my wishlist. I picked up Mouthwashing, WitchSpring R, Little Kitty Big City, the Nonory game collection and Okami HD. I already have the last two but I wanted them in the Steam library so I can play them on my deck.
And I gifted Freedom Planet 2 to a friend.
The Winter Sale isn’t over until January 2nd, so I might buy some more games before it ends. Problem is, I own most of the games on the Steam front page, so finding new and interesting games is getting difficult.
Pain.
I have absolutely no idea what it’s about, but it’s only $2 (90% off) and I’m a sucker for steep deals, so I couldn’t pass it up.
It’s not fear Effect that’s for sure. You’re better off spending the time emulating (since they are hella expensive physical) Fear Effect 1 and 2: Double Helix.
Resident evil camera angle and gameplay but with super spy lesbians
This. I feel totally underwhelmed by the sale this year because everything on the front page I already either own or have no interest in. I know the discovery queue exists, but it primarily tries to feed me the same jank I already know exists.
I got Life is Strange: Double Exposure. It was meh. Not super bad but had enough bugs to push it in that direction.
After that I played The Excavation of Hob’s Barrow which was phenomenal.
I don’t remember if it was on sale, but I got 10 Dead Doves on a whim and I’m not dissapointed so far.
Neva and Plucky Squire. Oh and Islets.
Nothing. Everything its too expensive in argentina now
Some friends and I gift each other some games each year, and I got Cyberpunk. I’ll wait for the new GPU releases before I play it though, since I want to check it out with path tracing.
Also, some Rogue-likes. The latest Vampire Survivors DLC, Bloodshed, and AK-xolotl.
Which rogue-likes?
The ones I mentioned directly afterward, Vampire Survivors DLC, Bloodshed, AK-xolotl.
Cyberpunk with full path tracing is still one of the prettiest games out there. And I also think - in its post 2.0 state - that it’s just a very good game too. I recommend the Ultra+ mod to squeeze out even more performance and visual fidelity from the engine.
