The only one I have my eye on (for now) is Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and basically because it never gets discounted.

Could be fun to punch a few Nazis, even if only digitally.

Dishonored 1 full collection for 2 EUR?

DAMN!

I might buy it for some friends and maybe even a few give aways....


Clustertruck for 3 EUR?

YES! Brilliant game, I'll might pick up a few codes for later dispersal....


Crash Bandicoot N Sane Trillogy for 16 EUR?

Good price, I highly recommend it!


Half Life 2 for 2 EUR?

Nice, good time to pick it up if you haven't played it!


Horizon Zero Dawn for 30 EUR, decent price, nothing amazing, but worth it!


Party Hard for 2 EUR is brilliant!

Fantastic game, highly recommended!


[–] SqueakySpider@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Thank you for mentioning party hard! I think I had that back on my Xbox a decade ago. Time to try it again

I was waiting for the sale to buy Elden Ring or DS3. Been wanting to replay them, this time with mods. But it seems they skipped this sale... of course they did.

[–] iamthetot@piefed.ca 8 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Rain World has been on my list for a while and it's currently 90% off, cheapest it has been since 2023. Definitely picking that up.

[–] KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Check the bundles first, that 90% off may drop it to a whopping $1.87 if you own the other games.

[–] iamthetot@piefed.ca 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Indeed, that is how I plan to buy it! (Though a little more, in CAD)

I've wishlisted it On GoG where it's only 55% off. I wonder how they decide how much to reduce based on the stores?

[–] AstroLightz@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

Scored me:

  • Red Dead Redemption 2: Ultimate Edition
  • Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition
  • Talos Principle 1 & 2 + Reawakened Bundle

Not a bad haul

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Cuboid Keeper was already on my wishlist and showed up as the cheapest game at 1.59 CAD. Notable because it currently has a 100% positive rating (though only 11 reviews). Released in 2019, too. I added the game to my wishlist because the same people (person? Website seems to suggest it's just one guy) made Eventide Matter, a short space resource gathering/building/upgrading game.

RDR2! I was actually willing to pay full price for it just a week ago because I need a chill open world game to play after getting my wisdom teeth pulled next week. But then I saw No man's Sky in my library and got distracted playing that so I didn't buy RDR2. That was very lucky. I'll have to see which one ends up being the game I actually play.

I also picked up Half-Life Alyx. It's actually kinda surprising that I haven't played it yet after like 5 years of owning a VR headset, but I never played Half-Life 1 or 2 so I felt like I probably wouldn't have the context to really get it. I might finally get to playing those two soon so having Alxy ready to go makes sense!

[–] NewNewAugustEast@lemmy.zip 11 points 2 days ago

Alyx really uses the VR very well, easily the best VR game I have played. Bonus that it is actually interesting on top of being good at VR.

[–] bigbangdangler@reddthat.com 6 points 2 days ago

Hoping to snag a Frame when they come out so I can finally play HL Alyx.

2 awesome games :) I really enjoyed both years ago. Alyx is the best VR action game I've played.

[–] mohab@piefed.social 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

And it's shit… agaaaaa-in 🎶

FR, 30 games on my list, only 6 hit their historical lows, and 2 of which I had already decided they're too high for me anyway.

24 either didn't go on sale or didn't hit their historical low.

I grabbed The Ninja Gaiden Master Collection (Fuck Sigma, I'm in it for NG3RE), Blue Revolver (Like, fine I suppose I'm running out of shmups, so I'll try and figure out what put me off about it the first time), Counterclocking (I'll support any new action game), and Carter's Quest (I'll support any new action game)

Spent 40$ on a bunch of older games and some more Niche Stuff I’ve been wanting. I also picked up Cave Story after a friend suggested it. I’ve been eyeing the RE4 Remake but I still need to beat 2. Overall went over my budget by 15$

[–] tomkatt@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Sales are looking really mid again. I skipped the Winter and Spring sales entirely.

I picked up God Of War: Ragnarok and Spider-Man 2 because the current sales are the lowest I’ve seen them. More than I usually pay for games but I know I’ll enjoy them.

Besides that I picked up a few cheap DLCs for games I play or will play in the near future.

[–] THE_GR8_MIKE@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Idk, Dyson Sphere Program maybe. Been playing the shit out of Satisfactory recently.

[–] elephantium@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

DSP is great, def worth it if you like Satisfactory.

I also love Timberborn. It hits some of the same gameplay notes but with a very different vibe.

[–] perviouslyiner@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

if you use more than one computer, watch out that you can't play the same savegame on both

[–] placebo@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 days ago

what’re you buying?

Seemingly nothing. Discounts on the items on my wishlist are rather mild.

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 6 points 2 days ago (4 children)

My cart currently (although I'm not sure I'll pull the trigger on all of them):

  • The Drifter - 20% off (The game I'm most looking forward to playing at the moment. Was hoping for a bigger sale but it never seems to go below 20% so might just pull the trigger).
  • Roadwarden - 75% off (Dirt cheap and I've heard good things about the writing.)
  • Road 96 - 80% off (One dollar off the all-time low and I've heard great things. Procedurally generated road trip sounds interesting.)
  • The Banner Saga 2 - 85% off (Played the first one and loved the setting, story and writing. Should probably play the sequel at some point).
  • The Sinking City Remastered - 85% off (Found out about this because of the upcoming sequel. Haven't played a detective game in a while and this looks decent.)
  • Wanted: Dead - 80% off (Made by ex-Team Ninja people who worked on the first two 3D Ninja Gaidens. I've heard some mixed things but I'm morbidly curious. I don't think this is a great game, but it could be fun for a single playthrough for the novelty of it. It is pretty unhinged and might be charming for it).

Also looking at Trepang2, Hell Is Us and ROUTINE but I'm not sure they're my vibe at the moment.

I'm enjoying MythMatch, the expanded match 3 gameplay and remixed Greek mythology are really fun!

I also just picked up Thank Goodness You're Here!, which is delightfully weird.

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 3 points 2 days ago

I love a good match 3! Thanks for the recommendation!

[–] farmgineer@nord.pub 4 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Nothing is really jumping out to me.

I may do another run of cyberpunk during rainy season since it's about all my PC can do and upgrading is basically impossible right now.

I just finished my ~yearly run of Skyrim (with mods other than just skyui for the first time this time).

I used to play a lot of 7 Days, but they lost me when they started adding triggers in POIs that automatically alerted zombies, opened doors, etc. and TFP's general bullshit after that.

The only other two games I've played this year are Last Caretaker (it was alright but had too many performance issues and bugs at the time), and Peglin which I'm also kinda over.

[–] Nelots@piefed.zip 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

with mods other than just skyui for the first time this time

Congrats, you are well on your way to becoming the type of person that spends 6 weeks making a skyrim modlist instead of playing the game, launching it for 15 minutes to make sure everything works, and then losing interest in the game after a day or two.

I recently found out about a mod called Sentinel, and holy hell is it exactly what I needed to actually enjoy the cool looking but blatantly overpowered Creation Club armors.

I used to play a lot of 7 Days, but they lost me when they started adding triggers in POIs that automatically alerted zombies, opened doors, etc. and TFP’s general bullshit after that.

It's soooo bad lol. I stopped playing around the same time, and I had almost 1,000 hours in the game. I get it, they needed a way to optimize performance, especially in large cities, and having the zombies hiding in air ducts unloaded until you trigger them is certainly a way to do it. But fuck is it immersion breaking and purely unfun. It doesn't feel like a zombie apocalypse when I'm standing in a city blasting my gun and there's like 4 zombies walking around to actually hear it.
