I bought over a dozen promotional games, with high discounts on several old games, Cities: Skylines-90% for only $2.99; Darkest Dungeon-92% for only $1.99. Also bought a promising HoMM-like new game, Pennon and Battle.

    Slime Rancher

    I would say definitely worth the 2 bucks. I wanted something I could play without having to pay attention to story, so it seems to fit the bill pretty well.

    Good buys… Cities:Skylines is great, but need some DLC for a good game experience… Vanilla version of game is poor in content. Europa Universalis IV is a good game. You have a game for many hours and many DLC too…

    • Final Fantasy 7 Remake
    • DOOM + DOOM 2 (the old games)
    • Psychonauts 2
    • Kingdom Come Deliverance
    • Command & Conquer Remasted Collection
    • Halo - Master Chief Collection

    Currently playing FF7 Remake for the first time, as a huge fan of the original. The other games I purchased is to make the pile of shame bigger and to play when I have some time – I’m not ashamed! For some reason I did not have the original DOOM games on Steam; this was the perfect opportunity.

      FF7R was such a blast for me. I especially loved the soundtrack. Looking forward to Rebirth coming to PC!

    Gearbits Mafia Trilogy Dave the Diver

    I’m enjoying the hell out of Gearbits. It’s an indie mech shooter with Gundam aesthetics and fast-paced action like Armored Core for a base price of only $10.

    Psychonauts 2 and it runs incredibly well on my Steam Deck docked to my 4k TV with high settings and 45% render resolution!

          If you want similar old school meets new vibes, Celeste, Hollow Knight, Crosscode, and Another Crab’s Treasure are all very fun. Crosscode in particular I just finished, and my gosh it was one of my favorites this year. Can’t wait for the next game from the devs!

            I love Crosscode! I don’t think any of these games you mentioned scratch the same itch though. They’re definitely great, but are missing the kind of simplicity of an old-school platformer that I’ve got in mind.

    I bought half life 1 and 2 for a friend. Other than that I’ll wait until the winter one which starts in a few days

    Lies of P. It was pretty good. 30 hours for the first run through. I wouldn’t recommend it unless you’ve already played sekiro and some dark souls, as I think they do it better.

    Nine Sols. Haven’t started it yet.

    I bought stuff from GOG instead because I don’t want to buy a license of the games, I want to own them :)

    Can’t remember exactly how many games I bought, but min. 5 ^^
