Patient in that it came out way back at the beginning of twenty ‘ought twenty-four, cheap in that its fifty percent off; the new prince of Persia game is precisely correctly priced at twenty dollars and fun as hell.
Ballionaire is a pretty great stoner game. It’s a pachinko roguelite–excuse me, autobonker
Any of the classic valve games (half life, portal, and their sequels). If auto shooters are your thing, vampire survivors is less than a small coffee. Dead space (the remake) is $15. Halo MCC is $10. Titanfall 2 is $3. The “new” tomb raider trilogy are all less than $5 each or get the bundle. Alan wake is $5. Prey is $3. And Batman Arkham origins is $2.
Just a handful of good games for cheap. There’s many more out there.
I wish Halo MCC had split screen on PC
there’s a mod that works pretty well for that… nucleuscoop (it might have rebranded… haven’t loaded it in a bit)
Bah, it’s Windows only. Thanks for the suggestion though!
Prey is awesome. I recently finished it after getting it in de the summer sale. Highly recommend!
Second this on Prey. Definitely is a love letter to immersive Sims like System Shock and Deus Ex. Hell there is a rumor that before Bethesda wanted to cover up the homicide of Prey 2, “Prey” 2017 was going to be called Neuroshock. Shame Arkane Austin was forced into live service shit with RedFall that they obviously had zero interest in and most original Arkane alumni left before the inevitable closure when they saw the writing on the wall.
I got the new Tomb Raider games free on Epic, but it seemed more like torture porn than a game. Had to turn it off.
lol, yeah. The animators definitely have a kink. They’re still pretty fun games, though.
There were certain “sudden death” sequences I had to repeat a couple times and the torture porn aspect is an issue there.
Lot of great suggestions here- I grabbed MCC myself. Was kinda stunned that it’s… I think five games ranging from absolutely era defining (at least for me) to solid games. For $10 I’m not sure that can be beat.
Planetcoaster for 1,89€ is hard to beat
I rarely buy games even on sale (don’t remember when I last bought a game, must not have been this year) but I’m definitely getting that one! That’s a steal. Just… how do I set a reminder to buy it in the morning? (okay I added an event in my calendar, I think I’m good)
Here’s another reminder just in case!
Xcom 2 complete for like 10 or so. Excellent deal
Gonna shill for war of the chosen real quick:
WotC fixes a lot of serious integral problems in the base game. In my opinion, XCOM enemy unknown is better than XCOM 2, but WotC easily beats both. So if you’ve heard bad things about XCOM 2, then keep in mind it’s probably fixed in WotC.
Pillars of eternity series. $25.
Europa Universalis Ultimate is like $45 Gonna see if i have the patience for that map game madness.
Europa Universalis Ultimate
It’s my favorite game, but you really need to put in a ton of time to really get much out of it.
That said, EU5 is probably going to be announced sometime next year given the dev diaries we’ve had, which means this will probably get another steep discount (and maybe a Humble Bundle or something) and you may want to just get the next game after a year or so. It’s a good price IMO, but I only recommend getting it if you’ll play it in the next few months.
The Binding of Isaac Rebirth Complete Bundle as well as its individual components are at a new all time low. The game is an absolute classic and IMO it’s still the best at what it does. It’s perfect on the Steam Deck too.
If you like the base game I highly recommend all the DLCs. Besides a ton of new content they also add many quality of life changes that make the game even more enjoyable.
- Keep talking and nobody explodes: incredible fun with friends, even better if the help has the documents physically printed, there’s this magic that happens when you frantically search for the right page and try to keep calm
- Titanfall 2 : worth it just for the campaign, I don’t know about the state of multiplayer anymore, I last played it last year, people were understandably sweaty
- Vermintide 2 : in its best state ever it seems, hours of fun and great challenges
- Firewatch : nice story, beautiful art direction
- Metro Exodus : superb open world
I go most of those but not Titanfall 2. Thanks for the tip!
Titanfall 2 multiplayer is still up and running! Both PvP and Co-op!
Oh yeah coop was my favourite, the difficulty always felt right
South Park: The Stick of Truth is a great RPG. You don’t have to be a South Park fan to enjoy it, but it certainly doesn’t hurt.
This is the only RPG I beat twice.
And if you are a fan, the game feels just like playing maybe a half season of the show. Jumping right in to episode after episode!
These are the ones I was interested in.
I went for a few bundles because I already owned thief sim and one of the metro games, so the bundles were an even better deal.
I checked the steam db website and a lot of these were all time low.
Yay for state of decay 2!
At first I thought you had “CHANGED” and immediately thought “ah, fellow degenerate”
That game is way too hard tho
Grim dawn is the best arpg of all time imo even better than d2
And it works offline.
It’s like $2.50
But the DLC is 10x that
Diablo 4 is 40$cad, but it’s working really well on the steam deck.
Path of exile just released tho
Technically it’s an early access. The company is asking you to send them money so you can beta test their game. If you wait six months, the game will be fully released and free.
They give you the stash space that you bought for PoE1 in PoE2 as well - I would never have expected that. And the money you spend for the EA gives you some ingame stuff and currency too. Quite fair, imo.
I have been considering this. Is it a fun solo game? Any problems on the deck, like small text? I also wonder if there are any problems with it being always online.
Yeah it’s fun if you like games with a dark atmosphere. The text is perfect and the game is fully voiced over as well. The interface gets some time getting used to. It’s a lot of features crammed on the screen.
I’d recommend Last Epoch, lots of interesting customization options but not overwhelming like PoE.
I did not expect when I created a rogue to be using 2 handed maces, but zipping around swinging the heaviest weapon I could find 5 times a second was very satisfying.
Shamelessly copying my comment:
In order,
Chorus - AA paranormal 3d spaceship combat game
Cyber Hook - First person grapple hook platform racer
Tangle Tower - Charming point and click detective game
Patch Quest - Bullet hell roguelike
Subsurface Circular - Robot murder mystery visual novel
Yes Your Grace - Addictive story driven king resource management game
They Bleed Pixels - Brutal 2d action platformer
Devil Daggers - Single arena fps where you try to survive 500 seconds (and fail)
Loop Hero Soundtrack - The game is pretty well known, but its soundtrack is amazing enough to buy or pirate even if you don’t want to play itCan someone recommend some good 3-player games? Already bought Aliens: FE and I’m sick of Apex and DOOM.
The Trine series comes to mind
Windblown from Motion Twin (Dead Cells devs)
No couch co-op though, in case this is what you’re looking for.
It’s not very patient gamer of me, but if you want specifically 3-player games Space Marine 2 comes to mind immediately. Kinda pricey, though.
Are you opposed to crafting and survival games? Because I had a blast playing Valheim with 2 other buddies of mine and now we’re going through Dune Awakening to the point where it feels like it is taking over our lives lmao.
The Owlcat Pathfinder CRPGs aren’t on the deep discounts list, but Kingmaker is 85% off ($2.99) and Wrath Of The Righteous is 70% off ($11.99). Both are solid games.
Owlcat is a Russian company that is very outspoken pro-Putin, pro-Ukraine war. The EULA of the games essentially tells you that they’ll install spyware.
Do not buy their games! If you already own them, do not install their games!
Well, shit. TIL. That sucks.
Do you have any sources for this? I tried to look into it, but I can’t find them making any political statements and they seem to be mostly centred in Cyprus, so how much do they actually support Russia besides being (originally?) Russian and thus at risk if speaking out against Putin?
Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous is an amazing game if you can look past the politics though. Also, the spyware thing is pretty standard now - it’s usually called “telemetry” in most EULAs. I haven’t read it closely enough to know if they’re overreaching any worse than others, but they did walk back including the AppFlyer tool after pushback from users.
