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.

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

      Very hyped for this, has anyone splashed for the top end anti glare one? Is it any good?

        If you plan on using a screen protector, don’t get the anti glare screen. The anti glare causes a slight blur, and the protector will just add glare back giving you the worst of both. They make etched glass protectors that have the same anti glare effect, but if you put that on the anti glare screen you get double the blur effect.

        If you don’t mind popping your deck open, you can get the 64gb version and a 1 or 2tb drive for less than the price of the 512gb model. Watch a video on how to swap the drive first to make sure you feel comfortable. Otherwise, I think going for the 256 and getting a large SD card is your best option. The 64gb model doesn’t really have a lot of space for shaders which can’t be installed on the sd card without installing some mods.

    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.

      It’s so good and so well balanced. I’ve gone through three calculators and two whiteboards. I wish I could do it for a job.

    I received BattleBit Remastered as a birthday gift, it’s great. I hope they don’t drop Linux support.

    Other than that I might buy Bugsnax.

      Highly recommended! I picked one up last December, and I spend more time with it than I do with my desktop. I can game on the couch, in a hammock, in the car before work. It’s great!

      Beem thinking about it also. The discount is solid and it’s still a good option even compared to the competitors.

      After 1,5 years, they finally stopped trying to milk the Elden Ring hype. Bought DS3 too.

      Last time I played a bit via family sharing though, my saves went and got wiped after a few hours… the game says it has cloud saves but the others don’t actually work (this one neither, probably), so I’m mildly afraid. It does work great on Deck though.

          Oh. I didn’t know that.

          But, who actually would be bothered by that? Going on sale while game doesn’t fully function, that is. Like, you’re still selling the game, sale or not.

      You won’t regret it. Ds3 is one of my favorite games of all time. The music and atmosphere are too notch. Praise the sun!

    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.

    Probably Satisfactory. Made by the same folks doing Valheim, which I’ve really loved playing. Also thinking about getting High on Life. Supposed to be a good game but the full-price tag has made me hold off until now.

      Its so much fun! My bro got it for me for Xmas. I work as a maintenance electrician in a factory so it’s kinda fun combining my work with a sci fi game. It’s really chill and you can even pet a little lizard doggo.
