A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Are there any games you're planning to pick up during the Steam and GOG sales? (lemmy.zip)

We've got two big sales going on, and I'm currently deciding what I would like to pick up. I'm planning to get Expeditions: Rome since it's 60% off, and I'm trying to decide if I want to finally get Terra Invicta.

What patient games are the people here planning to pick up? Maybe I'll find a few that I "need" to try!

I already have a lot of unplayed games, so I'm keeping my list small. I also really like indies, so here you go:

The Hex - in the "deep discount" section; I liked the dev's other two games (Pony Island and Inscryption), so I'll probably enjoy this one; they're all on sale too
Firewatch
Celeste
Gris
Filament
Chaos Reborn

These are all <$5.

And some other games I might get if I finish an in-progress game:

Psychonauts 2
Hogwarts Legacy
Bomb Rush Cyberpunk
Little Nightmares 2

These are from larger studios and are at historical lows (I think). I just need to finish some longer games before I get even more.

It sounds like you've got a plan! Once I get all the bills paid for this month I'm planning to get my partner a Steam Deck as well, so both of us are looking at games. They're a Harry Potter fan, so Hogwarts Legacy is one that came up on the list.

Have fun! I hope you find some good games in your and your partner's budget to play on the new Deck!

I'm sure we will! I saw a list being created, so I'm sure there will be a few. I did give a warning about the infamous Steam backlog, but I don't want to ruin the fun of a new device! So we'll see what happens.
