Nothing, absolutely nothing. My backlog is huge with games that have hours to play.
I haven't bought anything yet, but I've been compiling a short list of mostly DRPG games like the old Might and Magics that I've been playing, specifically ones that'll work on the Deck nicely. It's a genre I loved when I was younger that's been rather missing from my modern collection.
- Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord
and/or
- Wizardry: Labyrinth of Lost Souls
- Legends of Amberland II
- Operencia: The Stolen Sun
- Songs of Conquest (not a DRPG, but a great-looking spiritual successor to Heroes of Might and Magic 3.)
And then on GoG, I might pick up a few real old ones, like Lands of Lore and/or Wizards & Warriors, but I don't think those will be good for steam deck even through Heroic.
- Shape of Dreams: Need to scratch that hack n slash itch. D4 is boring and PoE 2 ran horrible on my machine. New game but under $15.
- Cuphead: One of my kids has wanted to play this for years. Xmas present for him.
- Date Everything: The other kid wants this one. Xmas present. I dunno, man.
- The Seance of Blake Manor: Our family loves these kinds of games and it's one of the only ways to get us all in a room. New game but under $15.
- Split Fiction: I hate the price still but my wife loved It Takes Two. Fiiiiiiine.
- Duck Detective The Secret Salami: Another family game.
- Echoes of the Plum Grove: I like this kinda stuff
- Capcom Fighting Collection 2: Man I love Power Stone.
- Astro Bot: Reviews are good enough to catch it on black friday deals.
- Spiderman 2: Loved 1 and Miles Morales.

Late to this thread.
Grabbed Slay the Spire and Green Hell. Both all-time low.
Thinking of picking up Catherine Classic + the NOexistenceN of you AND me. Don't know if I have time to play those two with Persona 5 Royal and RDR2 in my backlog.
For the first time I decided to spend my money on a Lagavulin 16 and Port Charlotte 10.
I'm thinking about grabbing...
Star birds
Last caretaker
And rv there yet
I'm also eyeballing planet Crafter, and a couple others on my wish list that dropped below $10.
I've also wanted to pick up ultra kill for a while but I never see it on sale for under $20 (Canadian schmeckles)....
Some that I'm still waiting to see come down in price to something more reasonable....
Horizon: forbidden West
Split fiction
Borderlands 4.
Even on discount, these are well over $40.
My friends and I played through RV There Yet just last month. Hilariously awesome game but very hard to solo. Definitely recommend with friends.
Oh god. The amounts of hours I've sunk into planet crafter is midly embarrassing. Well worth a punt.
I got Fallout 4's DLC - primarily so I can play Fallout London. I also picked up X4: Foundations, and Fallout 76 as well. All were pretty heavily discounted.
Is Fallout London easy to mod on Steam? I read that it requires some extra step, compared to GOG? And since I have the Deck only, do you know if it is easy to install it on the Deck?
I picked up Ikaruga. I can feel the input delay, but it's still fun.
I've picked: Outer Wilds, The Alters (yeah wasn't that patient on this) and Shadow Gambit
I'll be patient and keep waiting for EDF 6 currently 56% off and that is still too much of $79 full price. If it goes down to 75 % off I'll buy it.
Going to play V rising with the homies
Hi-Fi Rush has been at $17.99 for about a week now, didn't know that the winter sale was live so I thought DekuDeals was lying to me and jumped on that purchase.
- Doom 2016 $4 -80%
- Neon White 2022 $10 -60%
- Inscryption 2021 $8 -60%
Never played Doom 2016 but I've heard it's very good.
Doom 2016 was my game for last year and into early this year. For what it's worth, I enjoyed it quite a bit once I got into it. I tried to start it a few times and that didn't work out, but then suddenly last winter, it all just clicked.
I had also tried Doom Eternal, and that's not my thing. Doom 2016 lets you play at your own pace, your own style, and make your own choices on how to play ... mostly. Doom Eternal you basically have to play it the way THEY want you to play and use the weapons THEY want you to use and if you don't then you're in for an unfun struggle. Doom 2016 isn't really like that, in my opinion and experience.
One of the yt gamers I watch made a comment about how by the end of Doom the final boss isn't the mastermind, it's you. The demons are trying to survive the doomslayer as you rip and tear
Inscryption is fantastic. Enjoy it!
It's also available on gog
Too poor to be in this community
Hey, there are always the free games given away by Epic and others...
I feel that. I’ve missed the last couple sales and will probably sit this one out too.
They aren't as good as they used to be
Picked up lords of the fallen and it's been scratching that souls-like itch I've had since I finished elden ring.
My plan to work on my backlog this fall has utterly failed. Instead I've not been playing any games at all for the past month and a half, instead just working on a mod for STALKER Anomaly. Consequently I know in my heart of hearts that the right thing to do is not spend any money this sale. However, I am still looking at:
Tails of Iron (-92%)
The Banner Saga (-85%)
Bloodstained: Ritual of Night (-75%)
Virgo Versus The Zodiac (-75%)
Road 96 (-75%)
HYPER DEMON (-75%)
INMOST (-70%)
Trepang2 (-66% - if it was any lower I would just snap it)
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night was fun. It did evoke feelings of nostalgia for me, since Castlevania: Symphony of the Night was one of my favorite games back in the late 90s (tied with Resident Evil) and still one of my favorites of all time. I'm personally not a huge fan of the art style and it does lack a bit of polish here and there, but overall good especially at 75% off. Hope you enjoy it.
Picked up Eastern Exorcist. Got it for free for Android from epic but no gamepad support. So now I buy the Steam version for gamepad support. Solid game
I bought operation Tango. Insanely fun co op game! Enjoyed it very much. Just wished it had a longer story
here is your reminder to take a peek over on GOG aswell. personally found steam's offerings pretty lacking this year. GOG's; less so.
