Patient Gamers

Disco elysium and hades.

I encourage everyone here who hasnt played Celeste to pick it up for $2. One of the goats

My backlog has reached that point where I need to be a responsible adult and finally beat some games, so this time I'll pass.

But the PS games like Horizon: Zero Dawn are tempting.

no i still have a huge backlog to go through and i still have to pray i dont contract skyrimitis and play that for the 400th time

Baldur's Gate 3. Currently 20% off on steam, but I want to wait for at least 50% or something, especially for a $60 game.

I finally picked up Witcher 3 for like 4 bucks. Excited to start playing that. I also got Euro Truck Simulator because it was like 1.99 and seems like a chill space out game.

I already have a lot of unplayed games, so I'm keeping my list small. I also really like indies, so here you go:

• The Hex - in the "deep discount" section; I liked the dev's other two games (Pony Island and Inscryption), so I'll probably enjoy this one; they're all on sale too
• Firewatch
• Celeste
• Gris
• Filament
• Chaos Reborn

These are all <$5.

And some other games I might get if I finish an in-progress game:

• Psychonauts 2
• Hogwarts Legacy
• Bomb Rush Cyberpunk
• Little Nightmares 2

These are from larger studios and are at historical lows (I think). I just need to finish some longer games before I get even more.

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, Dying Light, and Hades. $10 a piece on Steam.

I put a ton of hours into Bloodstained RotN when it was on gamepass, but never beat it. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is a game I end up replaying every few years, so I really enjoyed its spiritual succesor back then (around when it first released), and they've only added more content (three new playable characters, a few game modes) to it over time.

For Dying Light, I love the Dead Rising series, but the moment to moment moving around is nothing to write home about. Dying Light has a focus on movement, and got a lot of good reviews, so I figured I'd give it a try.

For Hades, I've always loved Supergiant Games since their first game, Bastion, and I never picked up Hades because it was never priced low enough when I had money to burn. Now that Hades 2 is in early access, I watched some gameplay of that and the first shot up on my list to buy. I've been craving an isometric real time combat game too.

Mostly the sub $5 games since if I don't play it, its fine. Like Celeste

Finally picked up Dave the Diver.

Picked up Shadow of War. Only ever played Shadow of Mordor so interested to check it out especially given the 90%+ discount.

Just got Stardew Valley. I'm a little reluctant to start it though- it seems like one of those games I could sink hundreds of hours into and I have a huge backlog. But I'm excited to try it.

I'm up to about 30 unplayed games in my Steam library. I really need to stop buying more.

So I've just bought a PC. I haven't had a new computer for 12 years. The newest game I've played is Subnautica (and Below Zero). I've basically missed everything from the last 15 years.

I own a few games that I haven't been able to play until now (Fallout 4, Star Wars Squadrons, Witcher 3, few others). Thinking I probably have enough games in my backlog to play those and maybe look at new stuff next sale.

I bought Deus Ex: Human Revolution for 2.99€ and I've been enjoying it. I've always heard good things about the series, but never tried it before. Definitely feeling that Cyberpunk had some inspiration from Deus Ex.

I also bought Firewatch for 4.99€ and beat it in a day. I wasn't spoiled about the story, but I had read a bit about it. At the end of the day, I'm glad I played it, but I'm not sure that I would necessarily recommend it.

I bought like 20 games within the last year on sales and played maybe 4 of them, this time I try to be strong.

After a while I finally picked up Parkitect. I've been having a blast with OpenRTC2 lately, and everyone says if you like Rollercoaster Tycoon, Parkitect really follows that idea.

Still burning through the old school games, but I'm excited to play this one! Especially with workshop support.

itch.io has a summer sale as well!

I have never played a From Software game. Sekiro is really tempting to get, because I never could see myself dodging/rolling around the big enemies and bosses. Mostly human-sized enemies and parrying sounds much more appealing to me. But the difficulty has scared me off thus far and it never went below 50% off

I'm waiting for helldivers 2 to go on sale but I think that's gonna take a while.

I just got the pack with Tunic and Death's Door. I had Tunic in my wishlist for a while and finally bit the bullet. Yay! 2 more games into the backlog!

Bought Icarus and State of Decay 2 today. One was 50% off and the other 66%. I almost bought them last night. Glad I waited. Always on the lookout for more co-op games to play with the wife. Can't wait for Ark 2!

I'm kinda offended with these deals. They were great when games were $50. Now that they're trying to charge $70, the deals are just getting prices down to the old regular price, not seeming like a deal at all to me. Now I have to be even more patient. Oh well...

Dead Space (remastered, I guess?). Only played a demo version that had 5 minutes of play, way back in the aughts, and have been meaning to try it since.

There's a Pacific Drive + Techtonica bundle I'm looking at and might grab.

Part of the problem is I'm obsessed with Satisfactory which scratches a lot of the itches Terraria did but in 3D.

Planescape Torment

I bought the entire spiderweb software catalogue and now I will just play spiderweb software games for the rest of my life I guess.

• I keep hearing that Mass Effect is a series I would like, so I finally got the Legendary Edition for $5.99.
• I have also heard of Mages of Mystralia as a good game for magic mechanics, so got that for $4.99.
• Trombone Champ for $5.99. I like silly memey stuff and I'm a former band kid. I also never played the trombone, which explains why I am buying the game instead of just playing my own trombone instead.
• Sixty Four for $4.19, as an incremental game fan

I am not sure whether to pick up Noita because I have heard of its great magic mechanics, it also sounds like something that will frustrate me way too much. I'll probably try on a friend's computer first
