Patient Gamers

Vein. Bought a full copy today, been playing their free demo version. Still in development, but potentially a great game for people who enjoy crafting survival. You explore and scavenge for components you need to build supplies to survive. Everything can be broken down with the right tools. It's not a fast-pace bloody hack and slash game, but more focused on building, occasionally dealing with zombies that want to eat your brains.

Palworld. Even though it never goes below 20€

Debating finally picking up Hellblade II since it’s 75% off. This holiday I’m planning on playing Hi-Fi RUSH so I might hold off since I’ll be busy with that game. The spouse and I are also considering playing Jedi Survivor (if it’s cheap enough and we’re happy picking up two copies) or Clair Obscur. With these games lined up, I’m on the fence for Hellblade and probably will wait.

I haven't bought anything yet, but I've been compiling a short list of mostly DRPG games like the old Might and Magics that I've been playing, specifically ones that'll work on the Deck nicely. It's a genre I loved when I was younger that's been rather missing from my modern collection.

• Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord

and/or

• Wizardry: Labyrinth of Lost Souls
• Legends of Amberland II
• Operencia: The Stolen Sun
• Songs of Conquest (not a DRPG, but a great-looking spiritual successor to Heroes of Might and Magic 3.)

And then on GoG, I might pick up a few real old ones, like Lands of Lore and/or Wizards & Warriors, but I don't think those will be good for steam deck even through Heroic.

I was looking at Fallout 76 since its 90% off but what's the concensus on it? Plan is to play with the wife.

Picked up lords of the fallen and it's been scratching that souls-like itch I've had since I finished elden ring.

I picked up Ikaruga. I can feel the input delay, but it's still fun.

Been picking up hot wheels games for my son recently. The monster truck game just came up for 70% off, putting it right in the zone I'm willing to pay.

I am an fpv rc plane and quad dude and love flying games with fun arcade like physics that make flying more exciting but still retail the the ability to pilot with advanced controls like a pro. Most flying games the controls are either too dumbed down to be fun or too slow place and realistic and the combat feels like you are flying a 747.

Sooo that being said I'm gonna get one of the X4 bundles. I loved Everspace 1 & 2 and saw that X4 was bundled with it cause they were similar games. So at $5 I figure I'll give it a try.

If you are like me and enjoy this tiny niche of flying games, I recommend Everspace 2, it's is a great game kinda rpg-esk and it's only $10 the controls are kinda dumbed down but it's a blast to play, (Everspace 1 is more of a rogue like game then rpg, also very cool but it's not on sale though)

If you are an experienced fpv drone pilot Firehawk FPV is such a badass concept and game and only $15 right now.

If anyone has any other of these type games they would recommend, id love to hear them.

Welcome to Kowloon and The Swapper are both ones I've had on my list and both are about $2. Why not?

Besides that, I'm going to try and play some more Baldur's Gate 3 or Cyberpunk 2077 during the holidays, as I'm still in the early stages of both.

I bought operation Tango. Insanely fun co op game! Enjoyed it very much. Just wished it had a longer story

• Shape of Dreams: Need to scratch that hack n slash itch. D4 is boring and PoE 2 ran horrible on my machine. New game but under $15.
• Cuphead: One of my kids has wanted to play this for years. Xmas present for him.
• Date Everything: The other kid wants this one. Xmas present. I dunno, man.
• The Seance of Blake Manor: Our family loves these kinds of games and it's one of the only ways to get us all in a room. New game but under $15.
• Split Fiction: I hate the price still but my wife loved It Takes Two. Fiiiiiiine.
• Duck Detective The Secret Salami: Another family game.
• Echoes of the Plum Grove: I like this kinda stuff
• Capcom Fighting Collection 2: Man I love Power Stone.
• Astro Bot: Reviews are good enough to catch it on black friday deals.
• Spiderman 2: Loved 1 and Miles Morales.

Maybe Wolfenstein 1 or Bloodstained, my list is super long and there's like tons of game i wanna play. Bang for buck wise i'd go for Wolfenstein 1 & 2 probably.

I've picked: Outer Wilds, The Alters (yeah wasn't that patient on this) and Shadow Gambit

I'm thinking about grabbing...

Star birds

Last caretaker

And rv there yet

I'm also eyeballing planet Crafter, and a couple others on my wish list that dropped below $10.

I've also wanted to pick up ultra kill for a while but I never see it on sale for under $20 (Canadian schmeckles)....

Some that I'm still waiting to see come down in price to something more reasonable....

Horizon: forbidden West

Split fiction

Borderlands 4.

Even on discount, these are well over $40.

Y’all got any recs for “AI sandboxes” in the vein of Rimworld and Stellaris? Stellaris is just borked now, and I’ve modded/played the hell out of Rimworld.

Late to this thread.

Grabbed Slay the Spire and Green Hell. Both all-time low.

Thinking of picking up Catherine Classic + the NOexistenceN of you AND me. Don't know if I have time to play those two with Persona 5 Royal and RDR2 in my backlog.

Not sure if it's part of Winter Sale, but I'll get Mandragora Whisper of the Witch Tree (I'll get it on Switch though where it's also on sale). A work colleague heartily recommended it to me and it looks like a cool game; 2d platformer with hard "soulslike" combat, but doesn't look like it's going too hard on the "soulslike". Supposedly very good exploration.
