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.
Probably Persona 5 at 60% off. I liked 4 and 5 has an incredible reputation.
Wasteland 3 is $8. Seems like a great value.
P5 is sooo good.
If you like P4, you should be in a good spot. Just note its style is like P4 got struck by lightning when drinking Mountain Dew Code Red.
And then, get P3 Reload when it drops in price. My favorite Persona, given a significant glow up.
Im probably only going to get few newer DLCs for American Truck Simulator. Their price finally dropped to -50%
Tactical Breach Wizards
You're in for a treat! I picked it up at launch and loved every second of it. Heat Signature was pretty fun, but the writing and level design in Breach Wizards was just all around top notch.
Nothing yet
Tempted to get Hades for $10, but it's a game that makes me angry.
If dying over and over again is what's making you angry, turn on God Mode. The story is amazing. Without God Mode, I would have thrown it on the heap of games started that never hooked me. It was worth setting aside my pride to see a beautiful, intriguing set of stories and relationships unfold.
I kinda wish I had. Maybe I still will... 50 hours in I finally got my first escape and I now find I'm struggling to go back to it because it just keeps getting harder lmao. I just wanna tell Dusa how great she is.
I got, for $40.86:
Need for Speed Unbound, Far Cry 5, Halo Master Chief Collection, Memoriapolis
I loved FC5. Ubisoft gets a lot of crap because they make the same game over and over but there's a reason they started doing that. Good characters, and the pacing is pretty solid unless you're a completions (which is your own fault). There's some weird mechanics that progress the story that kind of break immersion that they chose because of the open world setting, but it's a solid game. Enjoy!
If you like it, "new dawn" is pretty OK. Wait for it to be cheap, it's basically really meaty DLC.
Just bought Riven, I'm liking it quite a lot so far. I see why it's a classic. Love the feeling of being dropped into a completely alien world.
Great game! Just be glad you don’t have to swap the cd every 20 clicks. Riven was basically 1 disc per cutscene when it first came out and I remember getting very frustrated as a kid when I accidentally triggered an island switch and knew it’d be 10 minutes until I could get back.
The langolier has caught much attention. Please share its purpose...
I bought "Inside". Was told it was basically predecessor to Little Nightmares and I'm really loving it so far
Went for the Hitman WOA deluxe edition. Good discount and was eyeing it for a while.
I love Oxygen. It’s such a fun game. I can spend hours on just one save
I also got it last sale but I think I had grown out of it and didn't realize it until I was watching the tutorials. Maybe it's one of those games I enjoy watching others play instead? I should've pirated it first before buying as I usually do...
Tiny Tina's Wonderland, Age of Mythology: Retold, Northgard, and Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order.
UFO 50, In Other Waters, Planet of Lana, The Last Game, Genome Guardian, La-Mulana 2, Stacklands DLC...And a steam deck. I decided to finally get the deck before we might get tariffs and UFO 50 was my main purchase for handheld play.
Lastly, I really enjoyed Moonring during this sale period but that is available for free. Thought I should give it some cred despite not fitting your prompt.
