    They’re gonna be in my backlog for a while, but earlier I got Kerbal Space Program 1 ( with DLC ) all for less than $15USD before tax and the Steins;Gate visual novel for something like $3.99 before tax. Would have gotten S;G Zero as well, but I am low on funds as of now.

      Oooh I was thinking of grabbing Steins. I know I watched the anime several years ago and enjoyed it, but only have hazy recollections of the plot. Doing the VN seems just enough same, just enough different to be fun.

    Just finished Tyranny and Pilliars of eternity so I’m picking up the sequel Deadfire. Checked out the price history last week and seems like it’s regularly 75% off during seasonal sales so I’m pleased to see it at $10.

    I wish Expedition 33 was more than 10% off. I get why, but still.

    My wishlist has some sub $5USD games so I’ll probably drop 20 or so. I really don’t need the extras though. According to SteamDB, I’ve only played about 41% of my 714 games - and that doesn’t include all the GOG and free Epic/Amazon games I’ve snagged over the years.

    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.

      Been mid for a few years now, in my experience. Most of the games I bought over the past two years I did outside of the Summer sale because most discounts are all the same anyway.

      I’ve been eyeing Okami and it was 50% last week and it’s 50% again now.

      I pulled the trigger on The Wonderful 101 in March at 55% and I was worried I’ll regret it in the Summer sale… it’s 55% again.

      Been also eyeing Lost Judgment… 70% in March and 70% again now.

      I made the indie game INK INSIDE, which is based on a lost cartoon pilot I pitched to Nickelodeon in 2015.

      Instead, I turned it into a cartoon show action RPG staring Brian David Gilbert.

      It has a completely unique combat mechanic that’s a combination of beat-em-ups and bust-a-move. It’s big on narrative, loot, and world building and even has live action segments.

      We’re on sale at 50% for only $10.

      Would love for you to check it out, as it seems like you might really enjoy it based on the other games in your cart!

      PS - Game works great on Steam Deck! (We just don’t have the green check yet because it takes Valve forever to provide them)

      A Game About Digging a Hole looks to be a fun game to play while your legs fall asleep on the toilet. Only 20% off, but it’s a sub $5 game.

      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.

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

      Me too. It’s the usual steam servers having issues as soon as a sale starts.

      KSP1 is the bees knees and the modding community is still going as strong as ever. Still worthwhile even at full price.

        Still mad that they fucked up KSP2. I realize it was a different studio, but I’m not happy about it.

    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“)

      do you need dlcs for risk of rain 2? I don’t really like encouraging stuff like DLC’s if avoidable

        Technically no (what game actually needs them?) but I like to do trophy hunting so practically yes.

          I’m exaggerating with the explicit ‘need’ word choice, but a quick glance at the specific dlc reviews of Sims 4, Monster Hunter World, and Destiny 2 should give you an idea of why I dislike the concept. Hell, you couldn’t even get a conclusion to one of the assassin’s creed narratives without the dlc and I personally find this revolting as someone that loves video games way too much. I know I’m basically just overzealous about the principle of these things, but I really believe we need more people taking more responsibility for the embarrassing precedents we’re creating

        No you didn’t need the dlcs for it. But I highly recommend the first dlc just for the new music. That soundtrack rocks with both together.

      7 bucks? Saw that and immediately opened steam.

      Am I missing something? That’s the only bundle I found for animal well…

        I just finished animal well. Fuck $80 games, its a $200 game.

        $18 is totally worth it. Try not to look anything up unless you have to.

        I’m sorry:(( I’m dumb.

        I have Dredge already, and I had bought Animal Well for $18 last night. That left Inscryption as the final game in the bundle. Steam dynamically prices games in the bundle and since I already had two games, I saw the bundle as $7 and got confused.

        I literally just refunded animal well, waited for the refund confirmation, went to rebuy animal well in the bundle, and saw the bundle was now priced at $24 (because I still already have Dredge).

        Sorry I got your hopes up :(
