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.
It is unlikely that Cataclysm ever goes on sale, because the steam release basically is just a donation. You can get the game for free on the official website: https://cataclysmdda.org
There you can also donate other amounts than the Steam price.
- Ori and the Blind Forest, after recently completing WotW.
- GTA IV
- Stanley Parable: ultra deluxe. Loved the first one.
- The Beginner's Guide
Some local multiplayer games to play with my partner on the dock:
- It Takes Two
- Unravel 1 & 2
- ibb and obb
- Pummel Party
- Sonic All-Stars Racing
I also considered Hollow Knight and Dead Cells, but prefer to get games on GOG when available.
left 4 dead 2 and team fortress classic. I really love valve games and they are both fun games to play!
Just now I got three low-priced titles: Verlet Swing | Levelhead: Platformer Maker | Solo
I'm not looking to buy anything specifically. I'll probably check my Steam wishlist at some point with low price and high discount filters and decide if I want anything else.
I don't need anything new though. My library backlog with unplayed great games is big enough.
I got Lake and The Long Dark, both of which had been on my wishlist.
Picked up Darkest Dungeon, these rogue lite turn based games seem to work the best with steam deck
I went for High on Life. It looks fun and has some reasonably good reviews.
I've been playing a lot of fighting games lately, so I picked up UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH Exe:Late[cl-r] bundled with its DLC.
Yes, I copied the title from the store page to make sure I formatted it right.
Just picked up Hi Fi Rush and Dave the Diver. I'm going to Amsterdam for a conference in a few weeks and both will be nice on the long plane ride
Good news if you are holding off playing CDDA because of the price: it's free on their official website. You can play now, and then buy later if you want to support development.
I picked up Sun Haven. I was thinking of playing it the other day, and the steam sale reminded me it existed. (I'm having fun with it, but the play experience is somewhat janky.)
Other items on my wishlist on much bigger discounts are just sitting there because I don't have the mental space for them.
i'm debating finally trying la noire -- would have been up my alley like 25 years ago, but never got around to it...
- Steam deck 64go. Can't wait :)
- loop hero
- age of empire 2 remastered
I just picked up Detroit Become Human to play with my partner. Its one of her favorite games and I know nothing about it
I got Doom Eternal, but damn it’s 91 GB and I have only 89 free. (Yes, RDR2…) Now I wait for my SD card that I purchased afterwards…
ZOMBIE ROLLERZ: Pinball hero is an essential steam deck rouge like pinball game. Only $3. I've been screaming to the rooftops about this game, it deserves so much more love. It runs amazing on deck and looks great when ballooned to full screen due to the artstyle.

Looks like this is when I finally buy Dead Cells, kinda surprised it took this long
I got a cheap projector on Amazon to pair with my steamdeck. I set up the projector in the yard, had a few friends over, and played some 4 player games I grabbed on steam sale. Neurovoider, helldivers, crawl, ninja turtles... Had a good time.
just picked up Nba2k, and Left 4 dead 2. I still have a back log of games to play from last year's summer sale:(
Recommend looking at Sales on GOG as well. All the games there are DRM free, meaning you actually own the games you buy there, also there are loads of great deals 🤘
You know that Cataclysm DDA is Free software, right ?
Just open the terminal and execute
sudo pacman -S cataclysm-ddaI snagged Elden Ring and all the souls games
you may be able to find them for a few bucks cheaper on isthereanydeal.com
Just recently got a steam deck. But not bitter about missing that sale.
However, very happy with the 75% off Halo MCE, which other than some occasional stutter, is lots of fun on the SD handheld mode

Had a bigger haul at GOG, but for Steam I got:
- Persona 5 Royal (through Humble because of my Choice discount making it just under 30 bucks)
- Another World (double-dip on Steam because the GOG release doesn't have the original Amiga ROMs as bonus content)
- Garbage Pail Kids: Mad Mike and the Quest for Stale Gum (a new NES homebrew game published by Digital Eclipse - always been a decent emulation publisher)
- NOMAD (another classic emulated title)
- Castle Crashers (one of my "indie titles to get" games on the old list)
- Battleblock Theater (same reason as Castle Crashers!)
I got the original system shock games to play before I do the remake! 5 bucks for the bundle! 😁
OCTOPATH TRAVELER II, Sonic Adventure 2, and Valheim so far for me
Dark souls 3. A lifetime of shitposting about the series and I just now get the third one.
I picked up Mechanicus. Considering looking for a CRPG I haven't played before
I figured out a while back that it's just not healthy for me (I stress 'me' because it's my experience) to collect games to play later just because they're on sale. I have a few hundred games just on Steam bought all the way back to sales in the 2000's. I've spent hours scrolling through them and realising they don't interest me and probably never will. Sales will usually come again so I'll just get a game when I actually want to play it.
I'm deciding between the Witcher 3, RE2 or Disco Elysium.
Got a few smaller ones from my wishlist: Sword & Sworcery, To The Moon, Antichamber, Her Story, Undertale, Sorcery! 1-4, Reigns, Call of the Sea and Overboard!
@Cmar@lemmy.world If you buy the oldest FFs, 1-3, keep in mind that the versions on Steam have massive changes to game mechanics to make the games easier and more like FF7. I don't think it does FF1 any favors because the difficulty was a lot of what the game had going for it on replays, but if you just want to say you beat FF1 the Steam version does the job.
I'm thinking of picking up SaGa Frontier myself. Does it seem worth $15 to people?
Kinda pretty sad that Dark Souls 3 is still so expensive... ever since Elden Ring blew up, its price has also skyrocketed. It finally got a sale today, but I remember many years ago it had a discount that was much lower.
Nevertheless, I got Alien Isolation, Dark Souls 3, and I'm hoping I can finally get some DAVE THE DIVER, but money is tight at the moment. This Steam Sale arrived at a pretty bad time for me :(
I really want to get Systen Shock remake, and maybe even the Final Fantasy* arpg, stranger something something.
I also ran across these two indies, Fear and Hunger 1&2 that look very interesting and are very affordable.
Getting Over It is on sale for practically pocket lint, so I picked that up
Jupiter Hell is actually a really weirdly good little DOOMRL clone, I can recommend it highly. It deserves more attention than it has gotten from rl fans.
I got wrestling empire. In my first match I rode a skateboard and knocked ppl over. I found a gun. Goldust died I think, he just laid there for like 10 min. 10/10. Also ita fun to play, kinda like the old n64 wwf games.
- Dredge
- Vampire Survivors
- Pizza Tower
Those were some of the few recommended Steam Deck games I didn't own yet :)
Some other games I bought I don't really plan on playing on my Deck:
- Horizon Zero Dawn
- Battle Bit
- Cosmoteer
- Nimbus
- Flight Simulator
I bought Signalis, really enjoying it so far
I grabbed octopath Traveler 2, avorion, Carrier Command 2, Spiderman Miles Morales, and thr biggest find was the Metro collection. Looking to play through all 3 games.
Never finished Last Light, got stuck on a section and didn't want to go all the way back to an earlier save to make sure I was in a better situation.
Just picked up Dave the Diver and Coromon and my brother got me state of decay 2 which runs flawlessly on the deck so far. Tempted to also get power wash simulator and dredge but I also have tons of games in my backlog to still play lol
I'm picking up almost every FF game that's on sale while I play through the series. Which the pixel remasters were on sale but it is what it is. About to start 4, very excited.
I got Life is Strange 2 which I've been meaning to play for a while now. I also got Prototype 2, which is easier to run on Linux than on Windows.
I'm getting Paradise Killer and probably the Visual Novel Chaos;Head: Noah.
Check out Crawl. Roguelike that doubles as a fun party game over Steam Remote Play or Parsec.
3 players have spawn points in the rooms to spawn as dungeon monsters, and 1 player is the hero. If you kill the hero, you get to respawn as the hero and that player becomes a monster. You get to level up both your hero and monsters, your goal is to beat the final boss as the hero.
I finally picked up Graveyard Keeper and all the DLC. Really fun game and plays great on the Steam Deck.
whoops. I cleared out the <$10 bin...
Figured would be good Steamdeck:
- FFIX
- FFX
- Hotline Miami 2
- Devil Daggers
- Sprint Vector
- DOOM
- Wizard of Legend
- GRIS
- Loop Hero
- Spring Falls
VR Games:
- ACE COMBAT 7: SKIES UNKNOWN
- STAR WARS™: Squadrons
- A Fisherman's Tale
- Thumper
- Assetto Corsa
Other:
- The Room Two
- The Room Three
- Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition
Nothing, cuz I'm broke 😂
I'll probably pick up the Judgment games. I don't have Yakuza 4, 5 or 6 yet either, but the main series isn't on sale this time around unfortunately.
Probably nothing from the looks of it. I'm still busy with ToTK and inscryption on my Switch.
I got a steamdeck. Should receive it Tuesday or Wednesday.
I did one of those “complete the bundle” to get most of steamworld games. They seem like very good fit for the deck.
Ozymandias
Dome Keeper
DAVE THE DIVER
Poly Bridge 1&2
I needed something more casual. I've just stopped playing Dome Keeper, I like it.
I got Omori. It gives me very strong Earthbound vibes but also gets really dark a faster. So far I'm hooked.
Already bought Star Wars Squadron's, Bionic Commando Rearmed and CRUMB.

I’m thinking about getting Hogwarts Legacy
Slashers Keep, Lego Builder (the puzzle one), and some indie VR titles. I'm really tempted to get Sparky the Electric Jester 3, it looks so cute!
Has anyone played Void Bastards? What's your elevator pitch on why I should (or not) play it?
I have Battle Reals, Last Spell and Nioh 2 in my cart and will see tomorrow after I slept about it what I am going to get. Maybe all, maybe none
Ended out with Death Trash and the new Power Wash Simulator DLC that dropped today (Terrible timing that.)
I missed KOTOR when it was current so I'm catching up now.
I got Last Command, a snake-like bullet hell game and Copy Kitty, which is like Mega Man mixed with Kirby and lots of explosions, so far.
Maybe I will snag Rabi Ribi and I am considering getting the DLC for Dark Souls 2, I am torn between just the DLC and the Scholar of the First Sin Edition. Heard they added more enemies, and that sounds awful. Lost my save files, so it wouldn't matter anyway.CDDA is Open Source, just visit the devs Website
Buying it on Steam ist just if you want to support the Dev
I keep waiting for Caves of Qud to have a more substantial sale, but since I'm fairly deep into Cataclysm at the moment and it's free I think I'm gonna get some smaller and cheaper ones - Dawn of Mexica and Golden Krone Hotel (check them out, they at least seem very cool if you're into roguelikes), still trying to decide whether to include ADOM or ToME as wel. Also debating Osmos, Myst, Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 or whether to just bite it and get CoQ finally.
I just picked up a steam deck!
I ended up getting Faith, Cruelty Squad and finally the Dark Souls 3 season pass. I'm really looking forward to playing Cruelty Squad. It's going to be nuts just going off the trailer.
It wasn’t good for me to buy the steam deck 2 weeks ago, this sale has made me want to try so many games on it.
So far I have grabbed Cult of the Lamb, Vampire Survivors, Little Nightmares 1 and 2, Inscryption, Aliens: Fireteam Elite, Aliens: Dark Descent, Dredge, Hades, Bendy and the Ink Machine…and I’m still looking. Fuck.
I'm forsure getting Trombone Champ and all of the DLC for Fire Pro Wrestling World. Who knows what else, but those are definitely happening.
I ended up getting New World since it’s the lowest price I’ve seen. I’m also hoping that the game has improved since launch. Going to keep browsing this thread to see what other deals people share!
