Tachyon: The Fringe for $2 and some change for the nostalgia. Doesn’t quite hold up w/ a max resolution of 1024x768, but had a great time in circa 2000. Maybe I can beat it this time.
Just got a Christmas gift card from work today! Thinking of spending some of it on Trials of Mana.
Is it just me or are a lot of these discounts… Not as good as previous years?
In some ways, I think we have to accept the early years of “8 indie games for $2!!!” is over. Inflation has hit, and indie devs have to buy their coffee too. If you really want a near-freebie, keep an eye out for bundles on Fanatical, where they’re sometimes $3 each game.
Oh lord, my wallet is not ready for this.
My initial thoughts are these sales are somehow getting even less exciting every time. It is clear that games should only be purchased on sale now as prices don’t seem to drop otherwise.
I miss the old sales where they gave games away.
There were three steam games posted in !freegames@feddit.uk yesterday, and three more earlier in the week!
I’ve been touching a lot of grass recently and when I do game, it will be the same 3 games or so again so I’ll pass this one and probably subsequent sales
What have y’all bought so far on this sale? I just got Detroit: Become Human for $4.
Into the breach, nice little game for on the Steam Deck.
After 16 years of sales, my library is filled to the brim with almost everything that goes 75%+ off that I would want. It’s like 3 games a year now that I don’t already have finally hitting the impulse buy range for me. Outside of that, fanatical and humble bundles round out my let’s buy a game id never otherwise buy and try

Just a heads up that you can browse and set filters on steamdb to see new historical lows for games(obviously based on steam pricing only).
Some notable historical lows are Silksong, KCD2, Arc Raiders, Hades II, Megabonk…
I’m partial to isthereanydeal.com for a more platform agnostic view of historical lows (it’s also super handy to see if a game gets frequently bundled or is perpetually on sale).
In case anyone has a Steam Deck - you can also get that as a decky plugin, so if you go to the store page for a game it’ll tell you at the bottom of the screen if you can get it cheaper somewhere else.
Augmented Steam FTW
Anyone have any recommendations? I enjoy rpgs and strategy games. Anything that can be played with a controller is ideal.
If you’ve been holding off on Cyberpunk 2077, it’s in a really solid state nowadays, and has a pretty dang good main story with lots of roleplaying options, and plays well with a controller.
Terra Nil is a cool relaxing solarpunk strategy/builder game about restoring the environment. Not sure how complete controller support is, but its rated playable for the steam deck (could be hit or miss).
The Mass Effect series supports controller, and they’re pretty fun sci-fi RPG’s with good characters.
Disco Elysium is a more text heavy RPG. I personally bounced off it due to its theme, but it’s pretty unique, worth a shot if you click with it.
Cyberpunk was very good.
Never heard of Tera nil that sounds enjoyable
drova forsaken kin should be very controller friendly
Turn based rpg- Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous
That seems interesting.
Is the story good? Are there chances to be really evil? And is it ever funny?
Tyranny (a different RPG by obsidian) puts you in the role of a fairly high ranking judge working for a brutal expanding empire. You have the option to play a really nasty person if you wish. Not terribly funny though, usually quite a serious vibe.
Played that way back. It was great.
Have you played Baulder’s gate 3 and expedition 33 yet?
Yeah. They’re both good.
my recommendation is to play them again and save money
YOU’RE NOT MY FINANCIAL ADVISOR!!!
i know. i raise sheep now. like all good financial advisors.
I’ve been enjoying Tales of Maj’Eyal lately. It’s a roguelike, though you can set it to give several lives or infinite lives. But I’ve been enjoying just going until I die and then rolling a different build. You usually only die because you get overconfident and I’ll leave figuring out the specifics of that to you :)
It also has over 1100 achievements if you like chasing those.
Oooo! Cyberpunk 2077 and Civ VII are 53% off
Baldurs Gate 3 is 25% off. I’ve been waiting for bigger sale but don’t think it’s coming soon.
It’s worth every penny even at full price.
Damn that’s it? I’ve been waiting ever since i got my deck.
For about one hour after it started I could not buy the games I wanted LOL
I clicked on the link and it opened my steam app on the “enter payment details” page, because I added a load of shit to my basket earlier and aborted because I got a new bank card who’s number I don’t know by heart yet. Something about clicking a lemmy link about steam and it opening the credit card entry page just made me laugh a lot.
Ok, I’m excited for the steam sale though. I can’t wait to buy video games on discount
