The Steam Summer Sale is on now — find great deals on thousands of games!
If you haven’t played Outer Wilds yet, stop what you’re doing and pick it up now:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/753640/Outer_Wilds/
Don’t read anything about it, don’t watch any videos about it, just jump in! If I could erase anything from my memory I would erase this game so I could experience the joy of discovering everything for the first time again.
I just went all-in on Final Fantasy on this sale. Almost all the games are on sale for super cheap. I realized that while Final Fantasy is probably my favorite series of all time, I’ve never finished one. Not a single one. They’ve always been so long that I never had the time to get through them. I can fondly remember being a kid playing FF1 on my NES with my brother, drawing maps, and trying to figure the game out. Flash forward to working, getting married, having kids…
But now, I am older (and blessedly single) and I have much more control over my time. I’m going on a Final Fantasy binge, from 6 to 16. I’m stupidly excited to actually complete these games.
Picked up Octopath Traveler II and Kena: Bridge of Spirits so far.
Almost grabbed FFXV but I’ve already have it on PS4 minus the DLC. Not sure if I want to commit the time to it again.
My shortlist so far (includes stuff I already own but would totally pick up if I didn’t)
Hi everyone! Just leaving a comment because I want this platform (Kbin/Lemmy/etc) to succeed, and because I love game deals. Just a reminder that we need to post and leave comments ourselves; we’re on the frontier for this platform, and no one’s going to do it for us!
Don’t forget that the Steam Deck is also discounted - 10% off for the 64, 20% off for the 512.
I’ve been tempted by Deep Rock Galactic for a while but never pulled the trigger because none of my friends are likely to join me. Would people still recommend it? What would you need to pick up DLC wise?
DRG is an amazing game, most dlc is free or cosmetic I believe. The community is one of the best, I’ve had less than a handful of toxic interactions in the years I’ve played it.
Rock and stone, brother!
A game that is relatively unknown but definitely deserves a highlight is The Riftbreaker, it’s an action basebuilder where you get to fight hordes of enemy waves while exploring, mining and building defenses. The devs have been really dedicated for years now, the game feels polished and fun, co-op is in development too and might be out within a year, it has a modding community…
It’s just a really good, fun game with no bullshit attached.
Pondering Crusader Kings III at 50% off…
Snagged Eastward, D:OS2, FFX/X-2, and DBZ Kakarot so far.
Against the storm has piqued my interest, combining my two fav genres of citybuilding and roguelites. Anybody have any opinion on it?
I’ve been gushing about it before, it’s an excellent game made by dedicated devs. They have regular biweekly updates, constant communication and interaction with community, aren’t afraid to make huge changes and additions to the game even though it already feels really stable, polished and practically finished. They started with a very novel idea of a roguelike basebuilder and somehow, through countless iterations, managed to make it actually good, balanced fun.
They deserve every cent for it, the game is wonderfully charming and engaging, just keep in mind that it might not be for everyone since your bases are all supposed to end relatively quickly - you won’t be building a 50hour city like in Anno, Rimworld or other genre-adjacent games. For many that’s a plus since these games tend to drag on and get boring in the later phases though.
It’s great honestly. 100% recommend!
