I know it’s Ubisoft, but friends I played Division 1 and 2 with recommended Ghost Recon Wildlands. On sale for $4.99usd. Picked it up and really enjoying the open environment and gameplay.
The Saboteur, it’s £4.49. Classic game
Does that still require a third party launcher, or can you just run it straight from Steam now?
Finally bought the DLC to risk of rain 2 and it’s an amazing DLC. So much was added and it makes the game a challenge again. I can’t wait to get off work to continue playing it
We Love Katamari REROLL+ Royal Reverie. I’m a huge Katamari fan and this port is just fantastic. Great for just relaxing and the soundtrack is fire.
I just picked up and started playing Brütal Legend. It’s pretty fun. If you are a fan of Tenacious D or anything else Jack Black has done you will probably enjoy it. It’s basically an Isekai story where you play as JB in a fantasy world inspired by metal album covers.
Divinity 2: Original Sin
About to finish that one after several years, so I picked up that dev’s latest game. I’ve heard it’s even better, so I’m quite excited. DOSin2 is one of the best games I’ve played.
Hollow Knight (it’s currently 50% off).
I got Okami HD and Crash Bandicoot 4 for real cheap
Nothing has really caught my eye so far. I have a handful of wishlisted games, some of which are on sale, but I just don’t feel compelled to get them. I’m actually considering trying to dig up my old SSI gold-box titles and see if I can get DOSBox or a VM working instead (though housework and farming generally eat up my non-main-job time at the moment).
I got Red Dead Redemption 2. It’s 67% off.
Stick Fight: The Game is super cheap, and a nice warming up game.
What in the seven hells is a “warming up” game?
Yeah, I probably should have clarified that a bit more.
Stick Fight is an online multiplayer brawler. Think Smash Bros, but with super short rounds. Rounds lasting longer than 15 seconds are the exception.
So it’s a nice game to play while waiting for your other online gaming buddies arrive.
I hoped to buy Horizon Forbidden West, but the discount isn’t deep enough
I bought Dreamfall Chapters. It’s the only one of its series that doesn’t feel too dated to be playable to me.
TLJ is in my top 3 stories in all of gaming but the puzzles/gameplay are pretty terrible. I’d still highly recommend grabbing it for a few bucks on GOG and playing it with a walkthrough - the story is absolutely worth it.
I liked dreamfall as well but the story wasn’t as impactful to me. I actually backed chapters on kickstarter but never finished it. How are you enjoying it so far?
Vermintide 2. When life gets hard, you can count on the Ubersreik 5 to be harder
I tried to get into it but I hated the loot boxes and progression. It felt unnecessary and complicated compared to the first. Plus it runs like crap on my PC compared to the first.
And it’s very problematic on linux and steamdeck.
I really tried to not buy anything this time around but the last couple of games I picked up are all pretty difficult for my middle aged brain so I went compulsive shopping again
Euro Truck Simulator is good to turn your brain off to.
Except when parking. I’m bad at parking in real life. Naturally I suck at parking a truck in a video game.
Ishin is great and easy
