Let’s share some good deals!
I haven’t really found anything, hence why I’m curious to what everyone else is picking up.

Heaven’s Vault, Hardspace Shipbreaker, and both Subnautica games.
Heaven’s Vault is a puzzle game where you have to learn to translate an unknown language. Haven’t gotten too deep into the game yet, but I picked it up because I liked Chants of Sennaar, which has a similar premise. Chants is 25% off right now, so I think that’s a decent recommendation
Hardspace Shipbreaker is a casual game where you break down spaceships for parts. It seemed fun, and I wanted to have something casual to balance out my library, which currently has more intense games than I would like.
Subnautica is a survival game where you’re stuck on an ocean world. I’m honestly not too sure if I would like this one too much, since I’m not too much of a fan of survival games. It just seemed unique enough from the other survival games, and it had a decent deal, and it was in my wishlist for a while. So I acted a bit on impulse and bought both games (Subnautica and Subnautica Below Zero)
Subnautica is a treasure. (Despite the bugs.) I recommend playing with a good sound setup and dim lights.
Subnautica
I’ve had this game for years but I thought it was a VR-only game. Got it in a Humble bundle for cheap.
Dunno why it’s so popular all of a sudden or why it’s still $30 normally. Maybe I should try playing it.
Thinking about Grim Dawn, anyone tried it?
I have played it for a while, albeit shorter than some true veterans, and I am a little bit torn in my opinion about it. The customizations options are great and the story is cool and engaging. However, the game feels very much grindy overall and you have to win the game to unlock higher difficulty settings, which is a bit boring in my opinion. Also, the loot from some early bosses are better than what comes later for certain builds, meaning you have to return back to areas you have passed through and grind the same bosses again for better versions of the same loot that you already have, which is also a tad boring. I’ve also had some weird stuttering issues on Linux. Otherwise, great game and I recommend trying it!
Zero. I’ve too much already unplayed and unfortunately working now (sucks to be adult).
unfortunately working now
Try also have some kids
I’m not a masochist, why would I do that?
No thanks
I ran across a metroidvania called Feudal Alloy set in a medieval world where you and all the enemies are low-tech robots with fish bowls as heads. There’s an interesting mechanic where swinging your sword generates heat and if you’re overheated you can’t attack temporarily. You can upgrade different parts of your body to fit the situation or your play style (more armor/damage/health, slower overheat, faster cooldown, etc), and the art is nice.
Felt like a lucky find for me because I just found out about it last week from an old vid on one of the yt gaming channels I follow (Let’s Game It Out if anyone likes watching a dude try to break games by essentially QA testing the hell out of them), and when I checked the steam sale this week it came up for under 2 bucks.
Warning. The game only has like 2 bosses. It uses rooms that keep spawning mobs as replacements for normal bosses.
Spoilers haha. But yeah, seems like a bit more of a casual experience from the couple hours I’ve put in so far. Glad it was like a buck fifty
Xcom 2 has been on my list for years… hit 97% in this sale, figured it’s finally time.
I envy you greatly right now, you’re about to embark on a beautiful journey. Xcom2 is one of my favorites, especially once mods factor in, of which there are thousands covering so many franchises and ideas you can’t possibly play them all.
I wish you nothing but an excellent time and lots of dead aliens.
Have a ton of games already, but I picked up Nuclear Blaze and Streets of Rogue on the cheap.
A week prior to the steam sale, got a good deal on River City Girls 2 and Mechwarrior 5 Mercenaries on Fanatical, $15 for both together.
Streets of Rogue is amazing, especially with friends. Absolutely bonkers game.
