What are people excited about for with the steam sale? Any hidden gems you’d like to share with the class?

We all have hundreds of games that are $0, it’s called “all the games in your steam account you already own that you haven’t played yet”.

Yeah, but we already know what those are. These games that we didn’t buy yet are new to us and, therefore, shiny.

As a fellow Steam user/gamer, I’m in this picture and I do not like it whatsoever

But that’s way too many choices, it stresses me out.

Am I weird for not having a backlog? I have games I haven’t played much of, usually because it didn’t click with me, but can’t thing any that I have never played.

I have almost 1000 games. There are certainly genres I own but don’t want to even install. The games that I haven’t played are those I don’t want to play but somehow ended up owning. Probably through bundle deals.

The bundles might be the thing. I rarely buy them, so don’t end up with games I know I won’t like. No shame, btw, I was just curious.

Wandersong is $7 USD right now and it’s a real gem if you like more casual games. It’s a 2D adventure game where you interact with the world by singing. It’s cozy and heartwarming, and I’d recommend it to anybody who might be into that kind of experience.

Also Prey is the opposite of heartwarming but it’s one of my all time favorite games (easily top 5) and it’s somehow $3 right now.

Same goes for the whole Dishonored series.

So erm… I read your paragraph on Wondersong and thought, “that sounds amazing, I must get”. Go to the game page “this game is already in your library”… Fine fine, I’ll get on with my backlog.

I love seeing recommendations for Wandersong. It’s a completely different type of adventure game with a unique, and lovely, plot.

Their next game, Chicory, is currently in my backlog and should probably get kicked up to the top.

Recommend you do, it’s a pretty great game. And if mods are your jam, there’s a ton of them that add a lot of content to the game.

DLC is also 100% worth it. Adds lots of depth, extra items, charectors and levels, and in level item “mutators” that completely change how important items work if you want.

Super good. Makes a fun and deep game more fun and deeper.

Meh. I’m seeing a lot of prices that aren’t even that close to historical lows. e.g. Mass Effect Legendary was $10 somewhere recently but now it’s $12 on Steam (though I’m not giving EA any money for it until they fix the stupid launcher for good on Steam Deck).

Prototype is like $4 though, might snag that if I don’t already own a copy elsewhere.

palpatine voice do it.

Prototype is among the most fun open world games to just screw around in. Right up there with Marvel’s Spider-man and Just Cause 3

One of the worst protagonists in all of video games, but it is also a lot of fun.

Steam reviews for prototype aren’t very positive

Chants of Sennaar is on sale. Found out about it here.

I suspect there’s a limited target demographic, but I was a linguistics major for a time.
