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 keep hearing that Mass Effect is a series I would like, so I finally got the Legendary Edition for $5.99.
I have also heard of Mages of Mystralia as a good game for magic mechanics, so got that for $4.99.
Trombone Champ for $5.99. I like silly memey stuff and I'm a former band kid. I also never played the trombone, which explains why I am buying the game instead of just playing my own trombone instead.
Sixty Four for $4.19, as an incremental game fan

I am not sure whether to pick up Noita because I have heard of its great magic mechanics, it also sounds like something that will frustrate me way too much. I'll probably try on a friend's computer first

Noita is a fantastic game.

The magic is that you have two major components. Wands and spells. After every level, you get an opportunity to tinker with the wands you've found by replacing spells you have on them with other wands to make something better.

It's a roguelike, and has no real tutorial, but it's definitely one of those niche games I've put serious time into.

You've got a nice variety of games to try there! Trombone Champ was pretty huge for a while there, but I had pretty much forgotten about it. Maybe I'll grab it just for the laughs.
