    Still unemployed so I’m not even looking. If capital doesn’t want to hire me, they can’t have any more of my money.

    I think I’m going to get the Dead Space remake (90% off currently), Granny: Escape Together (I like horror), and Escape the Mad Empire to start.

    Might pick up more later in the sale, but this will keep me busy.

    Remember you can get things refunded if you don’t end up liking a game.

      uh, I was just about to buy the dead space based on your message here but then I saw it has denuvo, so no buy :(

        Yeah denuvo is such a buzzkill. I used to dislike it on performance grounds alone… But dude, when I went to play dead space on a plane for the first time, and that lil fucker told me it required internet to allow single player gameplay? 😤 fuuuuuck that. Never again.

      I enjoyed the remake well enough. It’s nice that they added in some of the quality of life improvements from the later games and an updated zero gravity system (you can fly in 3 dimensions like you can in DS2).

    Finally picked up a legit version of Rain Word, yay!

    All of the Batman Arkham games are bundled for $9 too. With season passes and dlcs.

    Major let down Kingdom Come 2 is only 10% off. That’s just taking tax off and nothing else.

    Lot of people saying it’s Meh but ones that I’ve been tempted by are:

    ATL 53% off for Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate edition -this passes the $60 AUD threshold which I’ve been holding out for

    Crash Bandicoot Nsane trilogy for 90% off

    Stanley parable ultimate edition at lowest price since 2023

    • deals for this game have been tepid since December 2023, but this matches the ATL

    • Disco Elysium
    • Kerbal Space Program

    Edit to add Disco Elysium has been requested to refund. Thanks everyone for the advice.

    One of my favorite games of all time, The Talos Principle, is on sale for $5. There’s a remastered version but honestly the original holds up really well. It’s a first person puzzle platformer game similar to Portal but the main point is the story, which is a really thought provoking philosophical exploration of humanity, machine consciousness, and self determination. It is legitimately the most interesting game I’ve played in the past 5 years and it has really caused me to think about these topics in ways I hadn’t before.

    Myself I am buying Persona 5, Pizza tower, and the Phoenix Wright trilogy. I have been wanting to play Persona 5 basically since it came out, and I got to try Pizza Tower a few weeks ago at a friend’s house and really loved it as a fan of the Wario Land games. Phoenix Wright is just nostalgic for me and there really aren’t similar games out there.

    I shouldn‘t buy anything, cause God knows I have enough, but I‘ll probably get a couple DLCs (for Risk of Rain 2) and hopefully that‘s it (Narrator: „It wasn‘t“)

    Summer Stale.

    I miss the old sales, when games had deep discounts and the deals cycled like every 2/4/6/8 hours.

    I’m planning to buy:

    As I mainly play on the Steam Deck.

    Any other recommendations?

      Looks like you enjoy retro-style 3D platformers. Get Corn Kidz 64!

      Like Pseudoregalia, it’s another N64-style 3D platformer released in 2023 with a goat protagonist trapped in a dream. This is an oddly narrow coincidence.

        I have it on my wishlist! But have to cut the spending somewhere haha. I’d also like to get Cyber Knights, A Hat In Time, Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom, Skin Deep and Soulash 2 - but it’s just too much money with so little time for gaming now (especially with keyboard + mouse for the latter two).

      Cast to Chill is a pretty great fishing game for the steam deck. I’ve been enjoying it since the NextFest demo.
