Are there any games you're planning to pick up during the Steam and GOG sales? (lemmy.zip)

We've got two big sales going on, and I'm currently deciding what I would like to pick up. I'm planning to get Expeditions: Rome since it's 60% off, and I'm trying to decide if I want to finally get Terra Invicta.

What patient games are the people here planning to pick up? Maybe I'll find a few that I "need" to try!

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.

It sounds like you've got a plan! Once I get all the bills paid for this month I'm planning to get my partner a Steam Deck as well, so both of us are looking at games. They're a Harry Potter fan, so Hogwarts Legacy is one that came up on the list.

Have fun! I hope you find some good games in your and your partner's budget to play on the new Deck!

I'm sure we will! I saw a list being created, so I'm sure there will be a few. I did give a warning about the infamous Steam backlog, but I don't want to ruin the fun of a new device! So we'll see what happens.

A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.
