What is everyone getting this Steam sale?

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.

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.
- I can vouch for Control. It's an amazing game. Do it.
- Control was the first game I played on my deck, I hadn't played it before and I saw it on a few recommended for deck lists.
  
  I've since gotten distracted by other games and haven't gone back to finish it, but I was enjoying it for awhile. Souls-like games aren't overall my jam though, so we'll see if I do. I read a summary of the story already, and I'm not sure if it's compelling enough for me to finish it to experience it directly.
  
  But, all that to say yes, it worked great and it was fun, so definitely give it a shot!
- You won't regret it. I wish I hadn't put off playing Control for so long. It's basically SCP, the game. Got a fantastic atmosphere that really pulled me in.
  
  Also, there's this one notable part with metal blaring that is one of the most fun moments of any game (I'm being vague to not spoil it -- those who played will know what I'm talking about). I never expected it to be so damn cool and you won't either.
- Control works amazingly on deck too at low settings. It's pretty dope!
- I've got that on my wishlist too, the problem is that I have so many other games already in my queue, that I think I wouldn't get around to playing it before the next Steam sale.
  
  As a result of having such a big stockpile, I'm not buying many games for myself in this sale. I am getting a few for playing on the sofa with family though.
  
  Yup, I've had the same exact problem for a while now (which is honestly why I haven't picked up control up till this point).
  
  If reading threw everyone else's comments here has taught me anything it's that I have a ton of great games in my backlog I really need to give a fair shot. 😑
- Another +1 for Control. Such a great game.
- I'm an Alan Wake fan and Control hooked me right away, especially with their Alan Wake references. If you're gonna like it, I definitely recommend playing Alan Wake after Control.
- Control is one of the most memorable gaming experiences I've had in the past few years. There are a couple really cool mechanics and set pieces that totally hooked me, awesome atmosphere
  
  It has really solid ray tracing too, if you plan to play on PC as well
