I just go some Steam giftcards from a friend and want to put them to good use.

Also FYI my PC isn't the most powerful in the world so I can't play anything super high rez.

SteamDB is useful, you can see all games on sale and filter by review score and discount percentage.

My reccs:

Cobalt Core - Spaceship combat similar to FTL with amazing vibes. Technically a roguelike deckbuilder but don't let that scare you

Drova: Forsaken Kin - One of the best games in recent years, pixel art RPG with great combat

Songs of Conquest - Spiritual successor to Heroes of Might and Magic III with beautiful pixel art

Pathway - Indiana Jones inspired game where you fuck up Nazis in turn-based combat

SteamWorld Dig 2 - Fun mining game, satisfying game loop, chill vibes

Risen - Probably my all time favourite game, amazing eurojank RPG made by the developers that made Gothic

Drova is fantastic! I was really impressed with it. Thanks for the other recs.

I see you're a fellow New Vegas enjoyer, you're in good company here! what-in-the-goddamn

Have you ever played Gothic or Risen? Drova is basically a spiritual successor to these games. I think you would enjoy them if you liked Drova.

I missed out on playing Gothic during its time, but I did play Risen and really liked it. I'm hoping that the Gothic Remake will be decent enough to enjoy so I can finally see what the hypes about with that franchise. I've wanted to try Gothic, but ive heard it's janky, and without the nostalgia of playing it previously, I just feel too old and tired to deal with that kind of jank now.

I'm biased since these are some of my favourite games but I would say that Gothic I and II still hold up today. If you enjoyed Risen, I think you would enjoy Gothic games since they are not much more janky than Risen. I'm also hyped for the remake, hopefully it will be good
