Here's my decent haul. Some of them aren't really in the "Sale" as they just launched but have launch discounts.

  • Control Ultimate Edition: Already own it on Epic, but was cheap enough to re-buy for easier Steam Deck play.
  • Crab Champions: The meme song that become a really competent roguelike shooter!
  • Dave the Diver: What if Lucasarts made a mini-game filled roguelike?
  • DROP - System Breach: Sleeper hit for me. Intense puzzle/pattern recognition game with a great, simplistic hacking theme/style.
  • The Entropy Centre: Big Portal vibes, but using time!
  • Humanity: What if Lemmings, but you're an omniscient Shiba Inu. Plays great in VR too.
  • Prey: Loved Deathloop but never had a chance to play Prey.
  • Shogun Showdown: Crypt of the Necrodancer meets Slay the Spire - SIGN ME UP!

Good reviews and suggestions. Added a few to my wishlist for better sale prices later! Shogun looks like one to keep an eye on.

[-] newH0pe@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

oh, Prey is amazing as an immersiv sim!

Return of Obra Dinn. Actually bought it from GoG sale. Heard tons of hype about it.

[-] Deestan@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

A quick note to set you up to possibly enjoy it best: Most of the gameplay is intended to go on in your head, as you mentally assemble clues and go and re-check things. Don't be discouraged if it takes you a long time to progress part some scene.

[-] niels@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

One of my favourite games. Great choice if you like puzzles!

[-] sevan@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

The Steamdeck sale is tempting. I have been trying to decide if I need one (I don't need one, but that's not important).

[-] quinten@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

If you consider, consider also to buy the one with the lowest storage. It is not that hard to upgrade it yourself. You end up with even more storage than the most expensive model (if you're planning to buy that one). You only miss the anti-glare etched glass and a custom profile background. But you can buy a anti-glare screenprotector if needed.

Marvel's Midnight Suns Legenday Edition. I'm 30 hours in and LOVING it. I mean, I like XCOM, Marvel, Persona and deck-building games, so I feel like this was created for me.

It's a shame the game flopped though.

I got Subnautica for £8.24, original Alan Wake for £4.64 and Surviving Mars deluxe edition for £8.74. Not bad!

[-] Boiglenoight@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I picked up Surviving Mars and played through the tutorials. Fascinating game.

I've bought more this sale than the last 3 years combined.

Nier Replicant 1.123905814908(or whatever), Nier Automata, Dave the Diver, Raptor: Call of the Shadow and Crisis Core: Reunion.

I have Automata for the PS4 but wanted to play it on the SteamDeck.

I wasn't really interested in anything new until I saw that Dave the Diver trailer and it just clicked for me. I haven't played it yet.

[-] maidenless_prawn@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I bought CrossCode because I heard great things about it and I'm enjoying it so far. The movement and combat is sooo fun and the main character's expressions are pure gold

[-] namelessdread@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Raft. I'm getting reeeeeal sick of Bruce.

[-] DownloadFLD@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

So far only Blasphemous, but that'll probably change. My wishlist is huge, and nothing's ever stopped me from growing my backlog before, so why stop now?

I'm a huge fan of metroidvanias, I've played almost all of the heavy hitters in recent years: Hollow Knight, Dead Cells, Ori 1 & 2, Dust, Guacamelee, the list goes on. Blasphemous seemed right up my alley despite some positive reviews with heavy caveats. I'm mostly enjoying it but I really really hate all the insta-death pits. Nice that you don't drop all your currency on death but now I've gotta walk all the way back there, avoiding all the enemies and traps, and oop I've fallen in the same pit again and turned the game off. Besides that, the difficulty is somewhere between easy and challenging but fair. Recommended while cautioning patience.

Pinned the post as long as the Summer Sale lasts. Handy overview for everyone to discuss it.

Lost Ruins, Ender Lilies, Halls of Torment

[-] Git3m@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

So far I've picked up Cassette Beasts and Nier Replicant. The former is a monster tamer game which I really enjoyed. Mechanics were fun, and the world exploration was superb. You unlock abilities for movement kind of like BOTW/Hollow Knight.

Nier Replicant has hot androids

[-] Argurotoxus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I grabbed Terraria and Tiny Tina's Wonderland. Looking forward to them both! Gonna boot up Terraria now, Tiny Tina's Wonderland will have to wait until some friends are free.

[-] MrSusan@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I got Sekiro because I'm a sadist.

[-] cosmiccowboy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Red Dead Redemption 2. I couldn't pass it up any longer!

I bought Anno 1800 and am really enjoying it, it's great that they modelled it closer to Anno 1404 but still innovated

[-] FunnyFondue576@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Post Void and A Short Hike. Also thinking about buying either Terraria or Don't Starve Together for me and my friend, but not sure which one

[-] neurosnail@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Elden ring (finally!)

[-] majere@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Thinking about a steam deck just for Diablo 4. I'd pick up fallout 4 and borderlands 3 / Tina and possibly elden ring / sekiro too. Any thoughts?

[-] Molecular0079@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

D4 runs fantastically on the Deck, can't recommend it enough...as long as wherever you're taking the Deck has a good wifi connection of course.

[-] speedstriker858@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Halo infinite, hollow knight, dead cells, and the orange box. Already played dead cells on switch a bunch so I know I'll love it (though a couple new dlc's have released since I last played, yay!). As a fan of the metroid series I'm also super excited for hollow knight.

[-] LetMeEatCake@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I fucking loved Hollow Knight. One of my absolute favorite games of the past several years. I hope you enjoy it!

I resisted the temptation, as I don't have the time and space to play the 5 games I already own.

Not much. I bought Sea of Thieves and the newest DLC of China: Mao's Legacy. I'm having a blast with the first one, while the latter is very frustrating but really fun anyways.

[-] notun@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Nothing. There are better sales all year round.

[-] pwnstar@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

Nothing. It's the same sale for the past 5 years. I've already got anything I wanted.

[-] CosmicFlowchart@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

No games (so far) because I have enough of a backlog to play but went for a Steam Deck (512 GB version because I like anti-glare and don't want to upgrade it right away) and dock. I rarely feel like playing at my desk lately but enjoy playing on my Switch on the couch, so the deck should help me work thorugh my backlog.

Megaquarium, Big Pharma, Bus Simulator 21.

All of them are solid.

[-] vgfn@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I got Cloudbuilt, the Deus Ex series (minus the first title,) Disco Elysium, Furi, Halls of Torment, Killer7, Lego Indiana Jones, Serious Sam 3 and The Walking Dead Telltale game.

Total was under 60 bucks. That's about 11 titles for less than the price of a new game. Steam Sale memes really didn't sugarcoat it, this shit hits DIFFERENT.

[-] LetMeEatCake@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I have some bigger games I intend to get later, but I bought Halls of Torment early. It's a "[X] Survivors" game like Vampire Survivors, with a heavy Diablo theme/atmosphere to it. It has some fun little changes on the genre and I'm having fun with it. Always funny how these $3-$5 games can be so entertaining.

[-] NOPper@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I wanted to pick up the Washington and Oregon DLCs for American Truck Simulator, a game I almost never play but it always there waiting for me to pop back in for one run then uninstall lol.

Also picked up Made in Abyss: Binary Star Falling Into Darkness (whew, that's a name alright) because I was just turned on to the show (which is awesome!) and wanted to play it, but full price seems like a total ripoff for such a jank niche game.

Now both are on my Deck for less then I spent at lunch yesterday, and I can get back to slowly poking at my backlog!
