Nice! It’s time to buy some games that I’ll never end up actually playing
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!
Well I guess I know what I need to buy next time it is on sale.
The game doesn’t go on sale very often because it’s very fairly priced at $35 and I’ve gotten each DLC the day of release so idk how they do bundles. It may be a long wait if you’re hoping for a deep sale as I’ve never seen it drop more than 25% below retail price.
You get a lot of the core experience from the base game+mods. So don’t feel like you need to get DLC to start because there’s a learning curve on the game anyway. The community endearingly calls your first 1000 hours in the game “the tutorial.”
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?
Highly recommend trying dwarf fortress if you like rimworld!
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
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
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.
What’s the one game you guys are def buying?
I think Grim Dawn. Seems like it would be a nice medium between a spastic first person shooter and the slower pace of Divinity Original Sin.
It’s great. And it’s got a new expansion coming up in the new year. So now is the perfect time to grab it.
I’ve also been considering grim dawn for a while now. Last game I played like that was titan quest way back then.
I’m finally going to buy Titanfall 2
Do you know if the DLC is needed to find matches? Do people even use them? Or is it all cosmetic? I too am thinking to come aboard.
No idea, but I heard great things about the campaign
I ran across The Longing just yesterday. Looks unusual, fun, and chill. Seems like a good one to mess with over the holidays.
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 knew the sale was here cuz I had a huge email from “isthereanydeal” 😂
