I was looking at getting some roguelikes / lites (already have ToME, CoQ), unfortunately Cataclysm DDA is not on sale.

Krone Hotel at 90% off looks like a decent choice too. Then there’s Jupiter Hell, which I recently stumbled upon and looks great too.

I’d also like to get some of the FF games, though I’ve played VI, VII, IX and a bit of XII, it would be nice to revisit some of the older ones I haven’t played almost since the PSX era.

An excellent choice. Which model did you opt for?

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

The most wallet-friendly choice is getting the 64gb model and a SD card or a bigger 2230 SSD.

You know that Cataclysm DDA is Free software, right ?

Just open the terminal and execute

sudo pacman -S cataclysm-dda

Hades is sooooo good!

It is unlikely that Cataclysm ever goes on sale, because the steam release basically is just a donation. You can get the game for free on the official website: https://cataclysmdda.org

There you can also donate other amounts than the Steam price.

I finally picked up Graveyard Keeper and all the DLC. Really fun game and plays great on the Steam Deck.

I just picked up a steam deck!

[-] petrescatraian@libranet.de 1 points 1 year ago

@philz Me too, lol. The most expensive version. And with the remaining Wallet balance, I got these 4 gems.

I got a steamdeck. Should receive it Tuesday or Wednesday.

Looks like this is when I finally buy Dead Cells, kinda surprised it took this long

[-] foggenbooty@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Thinking of picking up Stray. My GF loves cats and has been waiting for a sale.

[-] AlphaCenturia@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I went crazy on some colony sims like 'Foundation' and 'Kingdom's & Castles'. Loving them both!

The gridless building system it has is really interesting, and the organic paths really makes it feel like your town is forming rather then being placed down. Managing the town is very like Banished but I loved that game so no issues with that! Would absolutely recommend 👍🏻

[-] Pazuzu@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Nice! Thanks for the deets. I’m gonna go check it out.

[-] MRPP@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

I really want to get Systen Shock remake, and maybe even the Final Fantasy* arpg, stranger something something.

I also ran across these two indies, Fear and Hunger 1&2 that look very interesting and are very affordable.

I just picked up Detroit Become Human to play with my partner. Its one of her favorite games and I know nothing about it

[-] bretti_kivi@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

Going to have to check my wishlist and see... So tempted to get a Steam Deck rather than a Switch. Might have to actually pull the trigger....

Oh boy, you're in for a treat. Try not to look things up too much and get too far ahead. This is one of those rare games I wish I could experience for the first time again.

[-] nii236@lemmy.jtmn.dev 1 points 1 year ago

I’ve reached a weird sort of critical mass where steam sales no longer provide me with dopamine

Not sure if I'll buy anything, my backlog is terrible already and I recently bought some games like Tales of Arise through Fanatical sales. Main game I was hoping would get a sale was Shadows of Doubt but it's still full price.

[-] CTLA4@vlemmy.net 1 points 1 year ago

Necesse. It's like top-down Terraria with colonists that organize your chests for you. Great early game content, anyway.

I think I'm going to pick up control.

I've been toying with the idea for a while now and 75% off is really hard to argue against.

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

I'm an Alan Wake fan and Control hooked me right away, especially with their Alan Wake references. If you're gonna like it, I definitely recommend playing Alan Wake after Control.

[-] Shihali@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

@Cmar@lemmy.world If you buy the oldest FFs, 1-3, keep in mind that the versions on Steam have massive changes to game mechanics to make the games easier and more like FF7. I don't think it does FF1 any favors because the difficulty was a lot of what the game had going for it on replays, but if you just want to say you beat FF1 the Steam version does the job.

I'm thinking of picking up SaGa Frontier myself. Does it seem worth $15 to people?
