I bought Rimworld in 2015 on a Steam Christmas Sale and I finally played it this last year.

Breaking news: it’s really fun lol

I’ve had the opposite problem. Since 2018 anytime I think about trying a new game in my library I just play Rimworld instead!

I’m 1800hrs in (with probably another couple hundred making mods), Rimworld is pure crack in all the best ways possible. Hands down the best $30 I’ve ever spent on a game.

Just put my first 100 hours in. Stayed up until 4am playing even though I had to work early and finish a massive project.

The game is fucking crack.

Any suggestions on must have mods?

I think hours in RimWorld should be divided by 10 for realistic number of hours played since so much of the game is waiting. :)

Ive been having a lot of fun with Dyson sphere. Good entry if you’re interested in factory games.

Definitely a great game. Recently had a pretty big update adding enemies and combat that has been fun so far but you can also just disable combat mode for a chill time building your swarms/spheres

Anyone got recommendations for cheap or interesting indie games this sale?

I bought Touhou Artificial Dreams In Arcadia during the October sale and it is a bit of a hidden gem for fans of the old SMT JRPG games on SNES. I also picked up Lunacid but have not got that far in it, but it seems like a strong revival of the classic Kings Field games.

Boneraiser minions. One of my favorite games this year. It’s vampire survivors but you raise minions to attack for you.

I’m enjoying the hell out of Cult of the Lamb

Copying a comment I made on the other site;

Recursed, just £1.67. It is a brilliant puzzle game, completely mind bending stuff about recursion and jumping into chests inside of chests while taking another chest with you so you can jump inside it…

Wonderputt Forever - £2.20. Prettiest minigolf game, animated to excess. Less than an hour to beat unless you go for optional challenges. You may have played the original flash game a decade ago.

Wonderputt looks like a mobile game.

The original predates mobile. Looks like Netflix have put this one on mobile. Still very good so don’t let that put you off.

I am so tempted to pick up BG3 again (already have it on PS5). Anyone have experience with it on the SteamDeck?

Not on steam deck but I play it on Linux pc and ps5. One of the coolest things about it is cross save, you can save your game on pc or ps5 then continue from that same spot on the other platform.

Yah the Cross Save is the reason I want to get it on Deck, so I can play on the go 😊

I played it on Steam Deck. It was great. Act 3 was a bit slow, but I didn’t mind.

I am thinking of getting it on console so I can experience it with better resolution

I played at release this year, but stopped midway through Act3. I need to pick it up again to finish it off.

Some things are a bit small and apart from cutscene camera angles or really zoomed in there isn’t much detail visible on the characters. I played with kb/m inputs mapped to have better utilization of deck controls. Some low fps bits here and there but generally great.

Do it. Mods can really enhance the game, adding new classes and mechanics.
