I picked up Total War: WARHAMMER III and Pennon and Battle, both strategy games. I'm thinking of getting Baldur's Gate 3 as well. This should keep me busy for a while. My holiday plan is to stay home and game!

Game was hard for me to get into but once it clicked, it was awesome

It's great.

I like boomer shooters and immersive sims, so I picked up Selaco and Fallen Aces. Both are good so far. Selaco has some maze-like levels that can be a bit annoying, but the gunplay is very fun and the level of polish and detail is very high. Fallen Aces is awesome for the amount of ways it gives you to deal with the goons.

Picayune Dreams! A "vampire survivors" -like as if you are schizophrenic and on acid simultaneously. A great $3

I've watched a couple gameplay videos by the dev and it looks good.

Bustafellows (95% sale). I have a huge backlog of !otomegames@ani.social to play, and Bustafellows is not on it. But it was also like $2 so… worst comes to worst, I play the game some day, hate it, and my purchase serves to signal "hey, English-speaking ladies who do not live in Japan also like otome games, localizing them is a good business choice". Which means more otome for me! I have heard of so many Japan-only games that sound so cool but also I cannot play them because I won't understand a damn thing the characters say, and they are usually super story-based.

The Magic Circle. I forget what recommendation list I saw it on to be honest, but it still seems to hold up as something I would like and think is cool.

I like !tycoon@lemmy.world games, so I was going to grab Parkitect, saw it in a bundle with more tycoon games, grabbed the bundle to also collect Project Hospital and Game Dev Tycoon. (I already had Parkasaurus.)

I also like automation games. I think its community might be on a dead instance… maybe I'll make a new one. Finally grabbed myself Factorio (will never be on sale) along with Satisfactory (finally out of Early Access. I will never buy an EA game, I will always wait for it to exit EA).

Finally, Sun Haven. Stardew Valley fan, from what I have seen of SH it seems like something I'd like, and price dropped.

Aside from Factorio, everything I grabbed was on sale. Aside from Satisfactory, all the sales were 50% or more.

Might get more. We will see.

Skyrim VR! Just got a headset and it's neat!

[–] Master@lemm.ee 1 points 20 hours ago

Assassins Creed Odyssey and Fields of Mistrial.

Wasn't ajlot i wanted that i didnt already have.

[–] caut_R@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

A bunch of EA games they‘re practically giving away considering the 90% discounts (Mass Effect etc.), and a bunch of indie puzzle games (Cats Organized Neatly etc.) as well as some steeply discounted Devolver Digital games (Hotline Miami 2 etc.).

I think I paid the price of one full price game (70 bucks nowadays) for like 20+ titles, but also yet again lost the battle of the ratio of games purchased vs games played this year… Damn you, Gaben!

Now I‘ll just wait for Monster Hunter Wilds which is easily my most anticipated game at the moment and probably the first triple-A game I‘ll be getting on launch since Elden Ring.

Same here.

FYI, Monster Hunter Wilds is available on Green Man Gaming and Fanatical for -18%, taking its price down to a normal triple A price of 57€.

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

Even cheaper if you have max discount at Humble.

[–] callouscomic@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Finally playing Battlefield 1 and Battlefront 1, cause $3 is a good price to wait for. Only for the single player. I don't care about multi-player. Streamed from my PC to Steam Deck is great.

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 4 points 1 day ago

I still haven't worked my way through the deals I got during last year's sales, and despite that I bought another dozen games on GOG this black week. So I'm trying to stay away from the Steam winter sale this year lest my backlog becomes such a behemoth it gives me uncontrollable anxiety.

[–] zo0@programming.dev 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I got 30XX and it's been a blast so far. Probably gonna keep me busy for a while.

Wayfinder, Gothic and Blades of Time so far.

[–] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I haven't bought anything. We've still got another week to go though, so I might pick up something. I'm a patient gamer so I'm still waiting for Cyberpunk and expansion to come down in price. Otherwise there isn't a whole lot that interests me right now.

I'm mostly waiting on updates for a few games I already own: Balatro is getting a big update in the new year, Enshrouded, Against the Storm, and Timberborn. I should get back in to BG3 too. I bought it on release and put 20 hours in and then just... stopped playing.

[–] LePoisson@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

I will vouch that even without the Phantom Liberty expansion Cyberpunk 2077 is fantastic. Phantom Liberty is awesome though, the story is intriguing and the new area is really well done. Everytime I visit Dogtown in that game I'm always like "damn this place is a fucking trash warzone," the devs really nailed the vibes.

Anyways absolutely amazing game, and it's half off it probably won't go below half off for another year I'm guessing. Like you, I got into it after some major updates so I didn't experience all the crap at release - to me the game is a masterpiece.

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

lockdown protocol and astroneer is pretty solid

[–] HipsterTenZero@dormi.zone 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

a few games i pirated earlier in the year, heh, and Pathologic 2, Lunacid (as of a few seconds ago), Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 (to check out the openrct2 mod), dwarf fortress, & Odallus the Dark Call.

[–] atrielienz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Neva and Plucky Squire. Oh and Islets.

[–] Ozymandias1688@feddit.org 1 points 23 hours ago

Thaumaturge. Very atmospheric I think. Also, I think the setting is quite fresh, and I think that should be rewarded.

I got Gelatine after forgetting about it being in my wishlist for half a year

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 2 points 1 day ago

I got Life is Strange: Double Exposure. It was meh. Not super bad but had enough bugs to push it in that direction.

After that I played The Excavation of Hob's Barrow which was phenomenal.

[–] Aviandelight@mander.xyz 2 points 1 day ago

I didn't pick up any of the deep discount items but I did pick up a few items on my wishlist. I picked up Mouthwashing, WitchSpring R, Little Kitty Big City, the Nonory game collection and Okami HD. I already have the last two but I wanted them in the Steam library so I can play them on my deck.

[–] ExtraMedicated@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I don't remember if it was on sale, but I got 10 Dead Doves on a whim and I'm not dissapointed so far.
