I went ahead and bought a bunch of indie games, picked up Darkchaser, Oxygen Not Included, and UFO50, and also grabbed Cities: Skylines. Got used to the launch prices of some AAA games, buying these discounted low-priced games really doesn't hurt much.
UFO 50, In Other Waters, Planet of Lana, The Last Game, Genome Guardian, La-Mulana 2, Stacklands DLC...And a steam deck. I decided to finally get the deck before we might get tariffs and UFO 50 was my main purchase for handheld play.
Lastly, I really enjoyed Moonring during this sale period but that is available for free. Thought I should give it some cred despite not fitting your prompt.
Oh, shit, there's a sale?
https://store.steampowered.com
Hmmm... old games I already own, games I won't bother downloading...
Epic Mickey Rebrushed for $30 isn't bad.
Space Marines II for $47.99 needs a bigger discount...
I haven’t played any game I bought last autumn sale ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Not on steam, but I bought Haven and The Talos Principle 2 on GoG.
I already played Haven on GamePass a few years ago, but I wanted to own it because it's very good (also to support the developers). As for Talos, I played the original twice and absolutely loved it, so I'm eager to play the sequel.
I played Talos principal 2 this year and it honestly blew me away. It goes without saying the puzzles were intriguing but the story, world building, atmosphere and dialogue are the real stars of the experience.
The only thing I care about on the store right now is the factorio dlc, and that's never gonna go on sale. I'll probably buy that once I finish all the achievements for satisfactory.
Get it as soon as you can afford it. As you have already noticed, the price only goes up, and it never goes on sale. The people that made this game know that they made digital crack, and aren't inclined to spread the addiction.
I'm really tempted to pick up Psychonauts 2 which is currently 90% off.
Tempted to get Hades for $10, but it's a game that makes me angry.
If dying over and over again is what's making you angry, turn on God Mode. The story is amazing. Without God Mode, I would have thrown it on the heap of games started that never hooked me. It was worth setting aside my pride to see a beautiful, intriguing set of stories and relationships unfold.
I kinda wish I had. Maybe I still will... 50 hours in I finally got my first escape and I now find I'm struggling to go back to it because it just keeps getting harder lmao. I just wanna tell Dusa how great she is.
I did turn on God Mode... still suffering. I suppose I've just gotta keep dying until I don't, but I haven't had the energy for that lately.
None, because I bought everything on the store I wanted in the last 50 seasonal sales. 😫
Forza Horizon 4 has 80% discount and it will get delisted this December.
All DLCs are now on simple Deluxe and Ultimate edition.
Might as well grab it before gone.
That game was great. I might pick it up...
Edit. I'm not sure what the difference is between deluxe and ultimate but for a couple more dollars i got the ultimate. Might as well while it's still available.
Absolutely nothing, like in the past like 5 years.
Currently (re)playing all Half-Life and Portal games in order they were released.
Project Zombiod and about to buy Portal Knights.
Project Zombiod
Project Zomboid has been in early access for over 10 years. It was released into early access on Nov 8, 2013, and it's STILL not finished!
Cool?
