Monster train is lovely. I actually prefer it to Slay the Spire, but it is a little bit more complex. I would highly recommend not playing with the DLC at the start because that makes things a lot more complicated. If you do end up buying the DLC, there's an option to turn it off. Only when you've mastered the game should you turn it on.
True but that resulted in it's own problems. Think the issue these days is publishers/devs get greedy and suddenly the discounts are worse? You can track the discounts with steamdb and for example the forests devs literally made the worst sale on their game since it came out. Probably to cash on the fact that the new one came out and people might want to check the older one. I wanted to get far cry 3 and was surprised to find the sale was worse (i'm not going to give ubisoft more money, i'd give it to indie devs but not ubisoft).
I don't know if it's on sale but BattleBit Remastered is the best casual FPS I've played in years. I figure it'll tide me over until Starfield comes out. I asked off work to play it on release haha
I got Backpack Hero. Played the demo on itch.io last year and i enjoyed it back then so i already planned on buying it at some point, and seeing it on sale gave me the push to actually do that. And this newer version is good, some mechanics like the curse system have been improved and obviously this version has more content.
Right off the bat I can tell you it's like Metroid and Celeste had a baby with a grappling hook system.
It also has controller support!
Story just drops you in the middle of things which is... An odd choice but I guess it's a piecing together kind of thing.
Charming music as well.
The Dark Souls series being on sale for the first time since Elden Ring launched has me in heaven. Been waiting over a year to pick these games up - I even resorted to family sharing a friend's account to play Dark Souls 3 and loved every second of it. Dark Souls 1 and 2 are harder to go back to, but picking them up for $20 a piece is nice.
I know they're on the verge of upcoming remakes and their current discounts aren't much, but I'm excited to play Lisa: The Painful and Persona 3 Portable - in the latter's case I've already played P3FES but I wanted to hold off on playing the FemC route until either Atlus or fans added in manual skill inheritance - by far the feature I missed most from P4G and P5R. Thankfully, modders have accomplished that and more for P3P.
I've been waiting for Sin Gold to go on sale so I got that.
Now I'm debating on Cities: Skylines or not. Sure, $11 seems like a great price, but there is over $500 in dlc! I mean I don't need or even want all of them, but my disposable income is pretty lacking.
And Jurassic World 2 is haunting or mocking me because I refuse to buy it before I finish the first one (so I don't get tempted and skip it). But finishing it is hard when I have so many other games taking up my time. (Oh, first world problems! lol)
I'm loving Far Cry 5 (on Xbox), but I've purchased Far Cry 3 and 6 on this sale. I've heard mixed reviews about 6, but great things about 3 (if it still runs normally on a modern pc). I also took a dive at X4: Foundations, but never played any of the series. Hopefully everything is fun.
3 plays great on my PC. I made the mistake of playing 5 first, so I found the graphics & mechanics a little underwhelming (I thought 5 looked pretty great). But the game is good; the villain seems to be the series' fan favorite.
4 might is the sweet spot between 3's gameplay and 5's graphics. 5 is gorgeous, but it's gameplay is a tad more kid-friendly than 3 and 4. And I love 4's James Bond villain.
