    I bought Mad Max because I originally played it when it was on Game Pass years ago and would like to do another run.

    For the Deck specifically I got Art of Rally, Rogue Legacy 2, and Deep Rock Survivor. I’ve been playing a lot of Deep Rock Survivor.

    Finally gonna pull the trigger on the dead space remake.

    Also waiting for The Last of Us Part 1, Horizon Forbidden West and God of War Raganarok to go below $25 because I still have a handful of other games to finish and start.

      Yeah, I have a pretty good list of Sony games I’m just waiting on better sales on.

      Like the first Spiderman should really be selling for cheaper now that both Miles and 2 are out.

    • Gris
    • Balatro
    • mirror’s Edge
    • Horizon Forbidden West (saving this one for desktop)

    E: refunded Mirror’s Edge, it was running at like 5 FPS on low settings.

    E2: picked up Mirror’s Edge on GoG instead for the same price ($3). Disabled PhysX and it runs like a dream.

      In the future try checking ProtonDB before buying/refunding. For Mirror’s Edge in particular, it seems all you have to do is disable PhysX.

      ProtonDB is an amazing tool, everyone should check it out!

        Nice. Well I happened to see it on sale on GoG and I prefer to buy from there anyway so I’ll give it another try.

        If anyone can afford it, I recommend the Neva + Gris bundle. Neva is even better, IMO.

      Were there any physx settings turned on when running Mirror’s Edge? It can bring a 5090 to it’s knees due to removal of 32bit physx support. Great recent gamer’s nexus video on it. Anyway, physx running on the CPU with Mirror’s Edge kills fps

      The sales were way better maybe like 10 years or so ago, but when they ended the “flash sales” to instead guarantee that the sale price of a game won’t change during the sale, they also kind of neutered the sales imo. They’re still alright, but they used to be consistently better.

      I get why they ended the flash sales, and I’m not even sure if it’s related or just a separate choice that they made at the same time.

      Fortunately, price info is actually tracked! If you use the SteamDB browser extension you can see the historical low price right on a game’s product page on Steam.

      For example, Terraria is on sale for it’s 2 year low price of $4.99, but the lowest it’s ever been is $1.99 (a little over ten years ago).

    Not enough college financial aid left for me to be able to, otherwise I’d have to look at my wishlist and see what’s available for a good price.

    I’ve been eyeing Signals, Children of the Sun, Jusant, and Weird West for some time now. Maybe Floppy Knights and FAR Changing Tides too

      They gave away Weird West on Epic a while ago. I checked it on Game Pass and had to quit it. The atmosphere is very good and overall looks interesting but the controls were awful for me to get used to. If you are going to get it I recommend checking it before the return window expires, just in case.

        Thanks for the heads up! I’m a fan of the people behind it and follow the development closely so I’m kind of biased and know what I’m getting into haha

    Probably Zomboid, been eyeing it for a while. And maybe Heavy Rain, at €2 it’s very tempting.

    I’ve stopped buying from Steam on account of their country threatening to annex mine. GOG is looking good though.

        In case you’re wondering, the correct response was:

        I’m sorry. My country is overrun with fascists and Nazis and I’m horrified by the threats to your nation’s sovereignty that manchild of a president is making. He does not speak for me, and I appreciate that you would decide not to spend money in a country that’s actively threatening your family.

        You know, for the next time you feel the urge to defend a government that demonstrably doesn’t care about you or anyone else.

        If you already have these things, you make no stance by throwing them away.

        It’s never too late to start change.
