The Steam Summer Sale is on now — find great deals on thousands of games!
what kinds of things are you guys gonna pick up?
Frog Detective 3 and Crisis Core Remaster, probably.
I’m a bit bummed because the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters aren’t on sale, but I have no problem waiting.
There aren’t a lot of games I’m really interested in, that I don’t have already or aren’t still relatively new or in Early Access, so they don’t get a huge discount anyway.
My shortlist so far (includes stuff I already own but would totally pick up if I didn’t)
Snagged Eastward, D:OS2, FFX/X-2, and DBZ Kakarot so far.
Against the storm has piqued my interest, combining my two fav genres of citybuilding and roguelites. Anybody have any opinion on it?
I’ve been gushing about it before, it’s an excellent game made by dedicated devs. They have regular biweekly updates, constant communication and interaction with community, aren’t afraid to make huge changes and additions to the game even though it already feels really stable, polished and practically finished. They started with a very novel idea of a roguelike basebuilder and somehow, through countless iterations, managed to make it actually good, balanced fun.
They deserve every cent for it, the game is wonderfully charming and engaging, just keep in mind that it might not be for everyone since your bases are all supposed to end relatively quickly - you won’t be building a 50hour city like in Anno, Rimworld or other genre-adjacent games. For many that’s a plus since these games tend to drag on and get boring in the later phases though.
I’ve been tempted by Deep Rock Galactic for a while but never pulled the trigger because none of my friends are likely to join me. Would people still recommend it? What would you need to pick up DLC wise?
DRG is an amazing game, most dlc is free or cosmetic I believe. The community is one of the best, I’ve had less than a handful of toxic interactions in the years I’ve played it.
I spent most of my 200+ hours in DRG so far playing with randoms because my friends aren’t as into it as I am. I can definitely say random matchmaking works great, and the community is amazing barring a few leaf lovers here and there.
Also the DLC is all cosmetic, so no need to buy any if you don’t want.
solo DRG is totally viable! you get a cute little companion drone that will guard you (very lightly), and you can order it to go grab stuff that is out of reach. the dev team is the absolute ideal role model for how game devs should strive to act. they continue to push free new content, and nothing is locked behind a paywall
