I was looking at getting some roguelikes / lites (already have ToME, CoQ), unfortunately Cataclysm DDA is not on sale.
Krone Hotel at 90% off looks like a decent choice too. Then there’s Jupiter Hell, which I recently stumbled upon and looks great too.
I’d also like to get some of the FF games, though I’ve played VI, VII, IX and a bit of XII, it would be nice to revisit some of the older ones I haven’t played almost since the PSX era.

My new Steam Deck.
An excellent choice. Which model did you opt for?
- Had enough rewards points from work to combine with my existing steam wallet to cover all but 9 bucks of it. I’ll upgrade the drive later.
Heck you could upgrade the screen later if you are feeling daring enough!
Hmm, did not know this. That is definitely a bit more work. But that is cool.
If you have someone with the etched screen around, go have a look at it before you embark on this adventure, I was very disappointed in the matte-ness of the screen.
What is a bit easier and relatively easy is to upgrade the ssd https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Steam+Deck+SSD+Replacement/148989
Have fun with your deck!
The most wallet-friendly choice is getting the 64gb model and a SD card or a bigger 2230 SSD.
It is unlikely that Cataclysm ever goes on sale, because the steam release basically is just a donation. You can get the game for free on the official website: https://cataclysmdda.org
There you can also donate other amounts than the Steam price.
Whaaat. I didn’t even know they had a steam version!
Satisfactory.
Seems neat so far.
It’s so good and so well balanced. I’ve gone through three calculators and two whiteboards. I wish I could do it for a job.
How is it on the deck?
Steam deck babaay!
I just picked up a steam deck!
@philz Me too, lol. The most expensive version. And with the remaining Wallet balance, I got these 4 gems.
I’m grabbing Nier Automata finally. I have it on disc in ps4, but my ps5 is digital only. So it’s going to be great to play this absolute classic on sd
Fantastic game, just know that after you beat the game and they say you should play it again. They really really mean it lol. Most of the content comes after the first ending
Hades :)
Hades is sooooo good!
Likely, tje Steam Deck itsself
Highly recommended! I picked one up last December, and I spend more time with it than I do with my desktop. I can game on the couch, in a hammock, in the car before work. It’s great!
Solid choice
I bought Subnautica and ended up playing it all day
I’m jealous. Wish I could play that for the first time again.
Same. The game is so good. Low key terrifying at times.
left 4 dead 2 and team fortress classic. I really love valve games and they are both fun games to play!
Necesse. It’s like top-down Terraria with colonists that organize your chests for you. Great early game content, anyway.
How do you like the controller support? Well. If you’ve tried it.
Not the guy you responded to, but I have experience with the game and stream deck.
The controller works fine, although I can’t help but think some buttons for actions are incorrect. Like cancel on one menu is one button, but a different button elsewhere. I believe controller support was somewhat recently added though so maybe it’s just not fully baked.
I suppose I could contact the author and let them know my feedback.
I think I’m going to pick up control.
I’ve been toying with the idea for a while now and 75% off is really hard to argue against.
You won’t regret it. I wish I hadn’t put off playing Control for so long. It’s basically SCP, the game. Got a fantastic atmosphere that really pulled me in.
Also, there’s this one notable part with metal blaring that is one of the most fun moments of any game (I’m being vague to not spoil it – those who played will know what I’m talking about). I never expected it to be so damn cool and you won’t either.
Control was the first game I played on my deck, I hadn’t played it before and I saw it on a few recommended for deck lists.
I’ve since gotten distracted by other games and haven’t gone back to finish it, but I was enjoying it for awhile. Souls-like games aren’t overall my jam though, so we’ll see if I do. I read a summary of the story already, and I’m not sure if it’s compelling enough for me to finish it to experience it directly.
But, all that to say yes, it worked great and it was fun, so definitely give it a shot!
Control works amazingly on deck too at low settings. It’s pretty dope!
Control is one of the most memorable gaming experiences I’ve had in the past few years. There are a couple really cool mechanics and set pieces that totally hooked me, awesome atmosphere
It has really solid ray tracing too, if you plan to play on PC as well
I’m an Alan Wake fan and Control hooked me right away, especially with their Alan Wake references. If you’re gonna like it, I definitely recommend playing Alan Wake after Control.
Another +1 for Control. Such a great game.
Dark Souls 1-3
been waiting for these to go on sale for what feels like forever!
After 1,5 years, they finally stopped trying to milk the Elden Ring hype. Bought DS3 too.
Last time I played a bit via family sharing though, my saves went and got wiped after a few hours… the game says it has cloud saves but the others don’t actually work (this one neither, probably), so I’m mildly afraid. It does work great on Deck though.
Wasn’t the reason they stopped going on sale was because the servers went down?
Oh. I didn’t know that.
But, who actually would be bothered by that? Going on sale while game doesn’t fully function, that is. Like, you’re still selling the game, sale or not.
My entire wishlist is on sale, so pretty much everything!
My wishlist has 134 games on it.
And that’s after I bought some of the games I had wishlisted.
I received BattleBit Remastered as a birthday gift, it’s great. I hope they don’t drop Linux support.
Other than that I might buy Bugsnax.
