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
Good idea, the Total War Warhammer 3 DLC are appealing (when you just want to own all those factions), but base price is just too steep for individual expansions
Been picking up hot wheels games for my son recently. The monster truck game just came up for 70% off, putting it right in the zone I’m willing to pay.

Hi-Fi Rush has been at $17.99 for about a week now, didn’t know that the winter sale was live so I thought DekuDeals was lying to me and jumped on that purchase.
Probably talking about the 1, 2 & 3 remastered set that just came out as I just grabbed it too. Original trilogy.
You can switch between the original and remastered graphics instantly, at any time, by pressing start. You can also use tank controls if you’re a masochist
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.
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:
That doesn’t hurt BG3, and Larian has been adding free content to BG3 over time, so really the longer you wait the better it’ll be. Still, it’s definitely worth the price. It’s a pretty long game, and good for the entire duration. Its also pretty replayable.
Depends on what you’re looking for. I’d confidently recommend against buying it if you’re looking for an action game. There’s at least 10 better, cheaper candidates on Steam.
The fact that Tropico 5 was NOT the free game from epic today along with several other different ones not on the list previously should tell you that this list was fake
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
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.
Workers & Resources is such a cool idea for a game, but man it’s intense. You don’t just paint roads, you have to buy the machinery and materials, and pave them manually. As just one example
Hades is definitely right down my alley, even though I’d never played anything quite like it before. It’s one of the games that reignited my enjoyment for gaming, a hobby that I mostly set aside for about 20 years. It’s one of the very few games I can fire up when I have a bit of spare time and even though I’ve played through the levels a hundred times, it’s still so much fun.
I’ve tried to get into Hades 2 and so far it hasn’t captured that same level of enjoyment. I think I prefer the relative simplicity of the original and the fact that it takes much less time to start feeling powerful in the original. Much more rewarding. Of course, my opinion on that might change.
I put it down after about 20 hours, then came back after a few months and 100% it. Honestly that I gotta escape 10 times slog was demoralizing but worth it and very gratifying
I bought it for Switch years ago after being peer pressured from the massive amount of glazing and regretted it. It’s a good game, I just don’t like roguelikes. The constant “I hate roguelikes but this was the best game I’ve played in years!” comments pushed me to do it.
I am actually among the “don’t like roguelikes but this was an amazing game” crowd. Sorry it didn’t work out for you. I can’t say exactly what it is, but something about how they nailed the roguelike formula is perfect. Always new dialogue to unlock, new things to buy, resources to farm, prophecies to fulfill, there was just so much perfectly aligned for me. Probably helps that I also love Greek mythology.
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.
Maybe, sorta. But there are a zillion games it can’t play, it’s expensive AF ($42€/yr for premium), and it’s not nearly as immersive since it’s not actually a simulator.
It’s a cool site if you just want to pop into a casual game, but not so great if I want to play something even medium heavy like Clank!
Edit: That looks aggressive… The game is called “Clank!”
You don’t need premium membership to play premium-only games; you only need 1 person at the table to have a subscription and then everyone else can enjoy the game for free. There are usually tables open looking for players, and if there is no open table to join, free participants can even put out a request for a subscriber to make a new table for strangers to join.
You can get 1 month of premium membership at a time for every 100 gift points that you acquire (which gradually expire if left unused). You can gain 5 gift points for winning for your first time at any game, so you can even rig it with someone else to just win at Battleship, Chess, etc. You can also acquire more gift points by contributing to tutorials, wiki entries per game (rules, strategies, etc.), or I think even filing bug reports or improvement ideas per game that get approved by the developers.
TTS and Tabletopia are 100% manual so you must already know the rules really well per game, whereas BGA holds your hand through all legal moves, so my circle of friends and I have even used it to learn new games blind (even though they also often have a tutorial). It also has a note system so you can type notes for yourself to remember things between rounds, if you choose to play in the optional turn-based mode (make your move whenever you’re next able to, versus real-time in which all players must be online simultaneously).
Loads of games in TTS are fully scripted. As both a BGA and TTS fan, I still lean towards TTS. It’s more fun and supports way more types of play and with the Community Workshop, there’s so many fun custom games on there too.
There’s also a digital adaptation of Clank, though I haven’t tried it myself. I know the same developers made Root Digital for Leder Games and that adaptation is well-received.
I only played it for about 10 hours myself. The castle is awesome but I lost interest once I unlocked the broom. It took all the wonder out of the game. If I were to compare it to Witcher 3, at least on your horse you would find all these nooks and crannies to discover and investigate between point A and B. In HL you can zip around like nothing once flying is unlocked and there are more side markers than a full Assasins Creed map out of the gate. I dunno, it just killed it for me for some reason at that point.
Please don’t give money to people who explicitly use it to perscuit, harass and restrict the rights of a minority group. There are so many other games, give your business to anyone else.

A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. 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.

Been picking up hot wheels games for my son recently. The monster truck game just came up for 70% off, putting it right in the zone I’m willing to pay.
The Hot Wheels Unlimited games are great!
Horizon 5 has one heck of a Hot Wheels expansion, if y’all don’t already have it.

I got Survivor recently and it’s really good so far.
I had fun with Hellblade 2. Doesn’t overstay its welcome. Not sure how I felt about the ending but it was memorable
Half way through my second Hi-Fi Rush playthrough. Game is fantastic.
So fucked that the company that developed Hi-Fi Rush was disbanded. Great game.
Hi-Fi Rush has been at $17.99 for about a week now, didn’t know that the winter sale was live so I thought DekuDeals was lying to me and jumped on that purchase.
Palworld. Even though it never goes below 20€
2 days ago snatched Tomb Rider trilogy for under 6 euro.
Today got Slay the Spire, Witcher 3 and Detroit: Become Human for under 10.
The original trilogy, or the reboot trilogy?
Reboot. But Was thinking to get remastered too
Probably talking about the 1, 2 & 3 remastered set that just came out as I just grabbed it too. Original trilogy.

Some of them aren’t particularly old releases so I dont mind waiting more:
I might get those:
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
That doesn’t hurt BG3, and Larian has been adding free content to BG3 over time, so really the longer you wait the better it’ll be. Still, it’s definitely worth the price. It’s a pretty long game, and good for the entire duration. Its also pretty replayable.
I think they said the content updates are done, in the last content update?
I feel the need to clarify that I was half sarcastic teasing
Why would that matter? It will be unrelated to BG3.
Hey, sometimes people are drawn to new games rather than tried and true games.
If they’re waiting due to price, they’re probably not interesting in buying the new game because it’s new.
You prob played them already, but the Divinity: Original Sin games are on deep discount
Also if you wanna go real oldschool, Divine Divinity and Beyond Divinity go for like 70¢ occasionally. :D
Yup - I certainly recommend those any chance I get.
I have Rogue Trader in flight and still have Pillars Of Eternity 2 and Tyranny in my backlog to hopefully tide me over.
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.
i wanna get it as soon as I’m done with divinity 2!
but i need to get a total of 4 copies for the partner and the youngins, and gosh.
i do wanna support them though!
I decided to pull the trigger on bg3 maybe today or next week.
Depends on if I have time to play today.
At first I read “Wired West” and got hopeful for a new person experiencing Dust for the first time.
UFO50 is good value even when it isn’t on sale imo. So much content crammed into it!
No Man’s Sky is fun and worth it
auomata is so so so worth it
Depends on what you’re looking for. I’d confidently recommend against buying it if you’re looking for an action game. There’s at least 10 better, cheaper candidates on Steam.
Rdr2 is free on epic on new years day.
That’s an interesting story there senator, you gotta a source to back that up?
Edit: I looked this up myself. It’s fake
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/940241
The fact that Tropico 5 was NOT the free game from epic today along with several other different ones not on the list previously should tell you that this list was fake
Definitely get Card Shark if you have a gamepad. I bought it a couple days ago, and I’m in love with it.
I actually live close to where that game stars off, so it’s a must play haha

So far just dlc for games I already own. Maybe I’ll get Slime Rancher.
I love Slime Rancher! Highly recommend.

Riftbreaker at $11 is tempting too

To each their own, I bought the game because of that kind of thing!
[email protected]
Wait a great place, thank you!
The one that looks tempting which I might actually get around to playing some day if I buy it is Hades.
Hades is definitely right down my alley, even though I’d never played anything quite like it before. It’s one of the games that reignited my enjoyment for gaming, a hobby that I mostly set aside for about 20 years.

Hades 1 & 2 are so good!
I put it down after about 20 hours, then came back after a few months and 100% it. Honestly that I gotta escape 10 times slog was demoralizing but worth it and very gratifying
Played Hades 1, it’s super good when it clicked, if not it will feels like any other roguelike.
Dooooo iiiiiiit, Hades is so fucking gooooood
deleted by creator
I refunded Hades, I found it dull. To each their own.
I bought it for Switch years ago after being peer pressured from the massive amount of glazing and regretted it. It’s a good game, I just don’t like roguelikes. The constant “I hate roguelikes but this was the best game I’ve played in years!” comments pushed me to do it.
I loved the game but the actual gameplay was probably my least favorite part if that makes sense.
It does, I kind of agree. The visual style, artwork and characters are all fantastic, but the gameplay is super repetitive
I’m also just not very good at fighting games lol
There is just something about Hades that clicked for me as well. I literally never played rougelikes, but Hades just hit different.
I played it right before Hades 2 came out, and bought Hades 2. I have now completed all steam achievements on both games. So I really understand the
Was that way for me too
I just wasn’t lucky enough!
I am actually among the “don’t like roguelikes but this was an amazing game” crowd. Sorry it didn’t work out for you. I can’t say exactly what it is, but something about how they nailed the roguelike formula is perfect.

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!
Maybe, sorta. But there are a zillion games it can’t play, it’s expensive AF ($42€/yr for premium), and it’s not nearly as immersive since it’s not actually a simulator.
It’s a cool site if you just want to pop into a casual game, but not so great if I want to play something even medium heavy like Clank!

There’s also a digital adaptation of Clank, though I haven’t tried it myself. I know the same developers made Root Digital for Leder Games and that adaptation is well-received.
The Harry Potter game probably
pirate that one in particular instead please
You just missed it for free on Epic last week. I do agree with the other commenters though, fuck JKR.
Didn’t miss it, just would rather pay money to get it on steam than free on epic.
I only played it for about 10 hours myself. The castle is awesome but I lost interest once I unlocked the broom. It took all the wonder out of the game. If I were to compare it to Witcher 3, at least on your horse you would find all these nooks and crannies to discover and investigate between point A and B.

I dunno, it just killed it for me for some reason at that point.
Please don’t, Fuck JKR and all the cunts who support her. even those who are happily consuming crap
Please don’t give money to people who explicitly use it to perscuit, harass and restrict the rights of a minority group. There are so many other games, give your business to anyone else.
Too poor to be in this community
Hey, there are always the free games given away by Epic and others…
I feel that. I’ve missed the last couple sales and will probably sit this one out too.
They aren’t as good as they used to be
