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.

    I finally picked up Graveyard Keeper and all the DLC. Really fun game and plays great on the Steam Deck.

    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.

    I’ve reached a weird sort of critical mass where steam sales no longer provide me with dopamine

          I just bought that too. I’m only afraid to play it because I know I’ll never be able to stop.

            Luckily there is an actual end-game, about 100 hours in! Basically when there’s nothing left to exploit haha.

            I’m waiting for the combat update before I play a new round.

    You know that Cataclysm DDA is Free software, right ?

    Just open the terminal and execute

    sudo pacman -S cataclysm-dda

    @Cmar@lemmy.world If you buy the oldest FFs, 1-3, keep in mind that the versions on Steam have massive changes to game mechanics to make the games easier and more like FF7. I don’t think it does FF1 any favors because the difficulty was a lot of what the game had going for it on replays, but if you just want to say you beat FF1 the Steam version does the job.

    I’m thinking of picking up SaGa Frontier myself. Does it seem worth $15 to people?

    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

    • Ori and the Blind Forest, after recently completing WotW.
    • GTA IV
    • Stanley Parable: ultra deluxe. Loved the first one.
    • The Beginner’s Guide

    Some local multiplayer games to play with my partner on the dock:

    • It Takes Two
    • Unravel 1 & 2
    • ibb and obb
    • Pummel Party
    • Sonic All-Stars Racing

    I also considered Hollow Knight and Dead Cells, but prefer to get games on GOG when available.

      SOMA is one of those games I wish I could forget and play again for the very first time.

        I get scared easily, I’ll probably shit my pants but I heard great things about the story and atmosphere so I’ll give it a try.

          Without spoiling anything, the atmosphere can get tense but it’s never a cheap jump scare type of thing. You’ll pretty much be more appreciative of all the “horror” details than you will be scared.

          It’s so worth it, one of those games that sticks with you long after you’ve finished it.

    Had a bigger haul at GOG, but for Steam I got:

    • Persona 5 Royal (through Humble because of my Choice discount making it just under 30 bucks)
    • Another World (double-dip on Steam because the GOG release doesn’t have the original Amiga ROMs as bonus content)
    • Garbage Pail Kids: Mad Mike and the Quest for Stale Gum (a new NES homebrew game published by Digital Eclipse - always been a decent emulation publisher)
    • NOMAD (another classic emulated title)
    • Castle Crashers (one of my “indie titles to get” games on the old list)
    • Battleblock Theater (same reason as Castle Crashers!)

        • Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice (Refunded as it got cheaper during the sale - then got it for even less than the original sale price with the soundtrack on GOG)
        • Caesar 3 (Got that recommended along with my earlier purchase of Pharaoh + Cleopatra)
        • Deus Ex™ GOTY Edition (Literally 1 buck + I’ve heard it got a great modding community)
        • Lollypop (Had my eye on it since it launched on GOG - looks like a neat DOS game)
        • Yakuza Complete Series (Already got Yakuza 0 on Steam, but couldn’t pass this. Especially at the all-time low price point. Funnily enough, I believe these games are one of the first to use GOG’s new Steam SDK wrapper to make it easier to port. Denuvo was already ripped out before by SEGA, and only having to recompile the game once to point to GOG’s own .DLL probably made the release a hell lot easier than before.)
        • Hypnospace Outlaw (Indie game that’s been on my Steam watchlist for a while.)
        • Cuphead with The Delicious Last Course and its Soundtrack (Double-dipping because I got the base game on Switch and the soundtrack through Steam. But didn’t wanna rely on Switch emulation to play the DLC after buying it. So GOG release it is!)
        • True Love '95 (An older Visual Novel that got recently re-released on GOG. Seemed interesting enough to give it a shot.)
