    I highly recommend playing Disco Elysium, but I’d recommend pirating it like the creators requested.

    Amazing game though.

    Anyone else feeling like they’ve already picked up most of these over the years of summer sales and there’s really not anything worth picking up this year?

      The most recently released game on the list is Hades, which came out three years ago. Most are much older. Chances are if you play PC games you’ve gotten most of these in past sales.

    I grabbed the XCOM2 bundle and Gears Tactics.

    I played both years back when I was on console but playing the new Aliens Dark Decent game has me ready to dive into the genre again.

    Risk of rain 2 if you’re into FPV rouge likes (I love zombies and any wave shooter game really)

    One of my favorite games of all time. The music is 10/10 epic. I’m trying to get 100% completion. Especially amazing with friends to just chill and slay. Mercenary is my go to character. Hard to learn, but rewarding.

    Thank you! Finally picked up FTL after absolutely loving the Jumplight Odyssey demo during NextFest. I need more space survival sim in my life

    The original Deus Ex is 86% off at 0,97€. Definitely worth it if you have yet to play this masterpiece! Just finished it myself on Steam Deck and worked like a charm.

      The mod Deus Ex: Revision is available on Steam as well for free, which makes it extremely easy to install and use on Steam Deck. GMDX is another good mod, but it’s not on Steam so you’d have to install it the old fashioned way.

      Vanilla is great if it’s anyone’s first play-through, though

    Rude to list transistor and hades but not Pyre

    Pyre is basically Fantasy NBA Jam with a visual novel story that adapts to if you win or lose. Very good story. Very good art. Very good music. Very good game.

    I am tempted to buy transistor - is it pretty similar to Bastion? Pyre was amazing, but Im not sure if I need another straight forward RPG style game. Does it have some kind of unique hook?

    Into the Breach, Talos Principal, and Ori also look interesting. Although they’re all slightly different than things I usually play so not sure.

      The only bad thing I have to say about Into the Breach is that the final level is insanely hard on anything but the easiest difficulty - which is kinda on par with the creators of FTL. Either way, I highly recommend it!

      Although I finished Bastion five times and Transistor twice, I’d still say Transistor is the better of the two while being comparable to their best game Hades.

        I ended up grabbing transistor and into the breach. I’ve had a beer too many to be any good at into the breach ATM, but loving transistor so far

                Yeah I think that was the first game I ever played by this developer. Love their style. I mustve just been busy or strapped for cash when Transistor hit. Then when I saw it go onsale before I thought it looked a bit like a bastion clone, so didnt pull the trigger. Thanks for tipping me over into buying it!

                  I still listen to the soundtrack, I prefer Transistor but as Bastion was the only one out back then I finished it 5 times.

      I would say it’s easier than bastion but has some interesting combo mechanics.

      supergiant knocked the story/art/music out of the park, as they normally do

      I tried transistor right after Bastion and didn’t really like it in comparison… Then I went back to it loved it!

      It plays a lot different because of the whole action economy thing, but it’s definitely worth a try.

      I might pick up into the breach too, it looks like the sort of “puzzle” game I can get into

        Into the breach is amazing, it definitely plays like a puzzle game, the kind where you play the moves in your head to make sure the move you’re making now won’t come back and bite you in the ass 2 turns later :)

    So many awesome games on sale.

    Into the Breach

    It’s rare I say this about a game, but this is even worth full price, so definitely pick this up if it even looks vaguely relevant to your interests. It’s positional chess-like turn-based rogue-lite full-information gameplay. It’s awesome. They dropped a massive completely free content expansion out of the blue after years of being released that just made it all even better.
