No Man’s Sky is down to $23.99. I remember the launch was poor but they kept working on it and improving it. I picked it up a couple years ago on Xbox and have enjoyed it
It is way more of an enjoyable experience now than it was on launch. I just still find it sort of flawed on a core level. The exploration is clearly supposed to be a primary focus of the game, but I just find it incredibly bland after a bit. After I finished with that, I don’t really know what to do with the game aside from… keep flying around trying to find something worth finding.
I put 40hrs into it. I don’t regret that, but I also have zero interest in continuing to play it past that.
Noita is currently 60% off and is hands down the best game I have ever played (kind of).
It is ridiculously brutal and you will die very often but you have the potential to get ludicrously powerful as well.
The game will cheese you so don’t be afraid to cheese it back.
In has so much content that beating the final boss for the first time is considered beating the tutorial.
Also if the some aspects are too bullshit for you there is a variety of mods to fix these, and there is absolutely no shame in using them.
They may not have lived up to the hype when initially released, which was understandable as there were a lot of promises that weren’t keeps, but they are undoubtedly still absolutely amazing games.
We picked up Journey and Star Traders Frontier. I’ve wanted to play Journey since it came out but I didn’t have the proper console. Well, I forgot I put it on the wishlist, and that’s a real good price so.
I’ve (sung? musically yelled at?) another person already.
Lingo ($6.99/$9.99) is an incredible exploration and word puzzle game. It also has a few excellent custom maps such as Duolingo and Liduongo.
A sequel (Lingo 2 $9.99) just released and is also excellent. It changes how puzzle rules are presented, making them playable in either order. It’s a more polished experience though, so playing the first game after would probably feel like a step backward.
I have the A10 Warthog set up but have to screw around for side thrusters because they’re replicas of the A10 warthog controls which obviously doesn’t have side thrusters.
You can play without it all but it does make flying more fun and imersive and afterall thats what it’s all about
I keep trying to get into Elite but it never clicks for me. I was flying around earlier trying to dock into a station but everyone was refusing me so I closed the game. I’ll probably look up a new players guide before giving it another attempt later.
Was it Elite Dangerous? Stations grant docking clearance if you’re within range when you request it; I think it’s about 7500 meters. Check out the in-game the tutorials. One of them teaches this.
Unfortunately it was due to being “friends only.” Player fleet I guess? I just couldn’t figure out how to filter them out before I got there and kept coming across them.
That range one caught me out once but I figured that one out since it tells you to come closer. I’m going to take that tutorial suggestion though. Cheers!
If they were playing online, it’s likely all of the pads were full. You can either wait for someone to leave, or super cruise out and back in to load a new instance with available pads.
Good point. I forgot about that possibility because I don’t spend much time playing in Open mode.
The same thing tends to happen on stronghold carriers in Solo mode, I suspect because Frontier programmed the game to spawn a bunch of NPC ships eager to dock with those carriers when a mini-instance is created. You can be the only player within light years, and still have to wait several minutes for all those NPCs to leave before you can dock.
I just bought Suicide Squad (I know, I know, but it was on sale and I want to experience it at least a little); Pine; and Sniper Elite 2R, 3 and 4.
I’m very excited to get into the Sniper Elite games. I played 5 back when I had Game Pass, but never finished. I figured the others might be just as good.
I’m making myself finish Fell Seal before I start it, but I picked up Triangle Strategy at what gg.deals says is the record low price. As an FFT fanboy, it looks great (and so is Fell Seal for that matter).

Whether it’s price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don’t meet the system requirements, or just haven’t had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

NMS was such a mixed bag for me. I spent over a hundred hours on it yet still walked away wondering what there was to do in the game.
Solasta Crown of the Magister for $8.99.
For me it’s the best game ever to capture the D&D feeling. The custom Warlock subclass, Timekeeper, is ridiculously fun.
I don’t see it mentioned elsewhere - but if we’re going down the CRPG route and enjoying it I’d recommend to others Divinity Original Sin 1&2.
I’d also recommend Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition. But it’s age might scare some people away – so I typically don’t lead with that.

I use the mod that respawns you at the last checkpoint. It’s SOO nice to have.
I picked up civilization VI (for my PC), hades and outer wilds for my deck.
Mass Effect legendary edition (all 3 games + all DLCs) is on for 6 Euro.
That’s a great deal IMO
On the third game myself, I can’t believe I didn’t play these sooner. I understand the hype this series generated now.
They may not have lived up to the hype when initially released, which was understandable as there were a lot of promises that weren’t keeps, but they are undoubtedly still absolutely amazing games.
Just a reminder that while we all love Steam, they run an underage gambling ring in the form of CS skins, which they refuse to address.
Caves of Qud has a small discount. I’ve been playing it a lot lately on the Steam Deck.

Elite Is a space flight economics simulator.
Fly around buy here sell there look at stuff for fun and get into battles
Great game but you will want a hotas set up if you really get into it
Hotas?
“Hands On Throttle And Stick;” i.e. flight sim gear
Like el_psd said flight sim gear.
Ideally one with rotation in the stick too.
I have the A10 Warthog set up but have to screw around for side thrusters because they’re replicas of the A10 warthog controls which obviously doesn’t have side thrusters.

Ah… Yes, it was most likely a fleet carrier, then. Those are owned by players, and not always open to the public.
If they were playing online, it’s likely all of the pads were full. You can either wait for someone to leave, or super cruise out and back in to load a new instance with available pads.

Doom (2016), Doom Eternal, Helldivers 2, Broforce
I’m enjoying Railway Empire. It’s on for 75% off the base game and pretty good deal for the entire DLC & Japan collections.
If you love time-wasters with some challenges, then I’d recommend it.
I liked it until the timed missions kicked in. It was a free game on EGS years ago.
I’m making myself finish Fell Seal before I start it, but I picked up Triangle Strategy at what gg.deals says is the record low price. As an FFT fanboy, it looks great (and so is Fell Seal for that matter).
Ooh thank you for mentioning Triangle Strategy. It’s been on my mind because it seems it’ll scratch that FFT itch but I didn’t have it in my wishlist.
