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.

Risk of rain 2 if you're into FPV rouge likes (I love zombies and any wave shooter game really)

One of my favorite games of all time. The music is 10/10 epic. I'm trying to get 100% completion. Especially amazing with friends to just chill and slay. Mercenary is my go to character. Hard to learn, but rewarding.

Risk of rain 2 (2020) $12.49 at -50%

Anyone else feeling like they’ve already picked up most of these over the years of summer sales and there’s really not anything worth picking up this year?

The original Deus Ex is 86% off at 0,97€. Definitely worth it if you have yet to play this masterpiece! Just finished it myself on Steam Deck and worked like a charm.

The mod Deus Ex: Revision is available on Steam as well for free, which makes it extremely easy to install and use on Steam Deck. GMDX is another good mod, but it's not on Steam so you'd have to install it the old fashioned way.

Vanilla is great if it's anyone's first play-through, though

Fuckin hell you guys are here too, thank god

This is my signal to buy Into the Breach and jump in.

I'm also giving into the Resident Evil series that's been on my wishlist for waaay too long... RE Remake, RE 0 Remake, RE 2, RE 3, RE 7.

Village and RE 4 will have to wait as the price hasn't dropped enough yet. >:D

I am tempted to buy transistor - is it pretty similar to Bastion? Pyre was amazing, but Im not sure if I need another straight forward RPG style game. Does it have some kind of unique hook?

Into the Breach, Talos Principal, and Ori also look interesting. Although they're all slightly different than things I usually play so not sure.

I tried transistor right after Bastion and didn't really like it in comparison... Then I went back to it loved it!

It plays a lot different because of the whole action economy thing, but it's definitely worth a try.

I might pick up into the breach too, it looks like the sort of "puzzle" game I can get into

[–] loutr@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Into the breach is amazing, it definitely plays like a puzzle game, the kind where you play the moves in your head to make sure the move you're making now won't come back and bite you in the ass 2 turns later :)

Weird West if you enjoy immersive sims.

Rude to list transistor and hades but not Pyre

Pyre is basically Fantasy NBA Jam with a visual novel story that adapts to if you win or lose. Very good story. Very good art. Very good music. Very good game.

Don't forget about Supergiant's first game, Bastion. It's currently an absolute steal at 80% off.

[–] Rhs519@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Love the narrator in Bastion. One of my all time favorite soundtracks too!

[–] Catpocalypse@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

The soundtrack is absolutely wonderful. Even if you don't play the game, give the soundtrack a listen.

[–] prole@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

I highly recommend playing Disco Elysium, but I'd recommend pirating it like the creators requested.

Amazing game though.

[–] CynicalStoic@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Edit: Added Dark Souls III to list

[–] anji@lemmy.anji.nl 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Dark Souls Remastered and Sekiro are on sale. These are relatively rarely discounted, so here's an opportunity if you were looking to pick them up.

[–] DudePluto@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Dark Souls: should I pick up I or III?

For context, I never got into DS until I played Elder Scrolls, which I've been obsessed with

[–] ModernRisk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I really recommend the Ori series, beautiful and the story is great.

[–] dandroid@dandroid.app 1 points 1 year ago

First one was a 10/10 for me. Second one was a 9.5/10. Both were excellent games. Both made my cry like a baby. Highly recommended.
