I've about $50 in my steam wallet and I'm wondering what this community would think are must-haves. I'm currently eyeing Satisfactory and Potion Craft and am worried I'm missing out on any great deals.

I played the demo a while back and it seemed pretty generic. What did I miss from only 30 minutes of gameplay?

Oh man... like everything?

I describe the game as "Holy shit, I didn't know I could do that" the game.

The game is all about secrets, did you get as far as looking into the in-game game manual? It's vital, and none of it is obvious.

There's also a lot of NES/SNES Nostalgia, if you don't miss through leafing through game manuals or issues of EGM this might not hit for you as much as it did for me.

A lot of folk bounce off the game because the combat is too difficult, or because the puzzles are too obtuse. Personally I loved it though.
