What's an impulse purchase you've made and it turned out to be awesome? (lemmy.world)

So I kind of impulsively bought a Steam Deck OLED this weekend, I hadn't really done much research and I haven't really played any games in about 15 years.

Now I have to wait for it to be delivered and, I'm worried this is something I'll use a few times and forget about it.

What's something you impulsively bought and fell in love with?

Neir: Automata and Nier: Replicant were on a steam sale recently and I picked them up.

Automata had been on my radar for a while and I assumed it was just one of those annoyingly difficult souls-likes throw the controller at the wall type games that also (feat.) a Waifu—color me surprised with how in-depth and bizarre the world building and game design was.

Replicant had its issues but the remake was equally fantastic.

Both were wonderful surprises. Considering you just got a steam deck I’d say get both.

Fun fact: NieR:Automata is the sole reason DXVK (a huge source of Proton's performance) exists. The avatar for it on github (or its developer) is fanart of 2B
