Looking to do something with my Epic coupon before it expires, and the Spring Sale seems a good opportunity.
Both on sale and on my wishlist:
Red Dead Redemption 2
pros: most everyone seems to enjoy it to varying extents
cons: I only have an old i5 2500k and 970 GTX
Borderlands 3
pros: looks fun, and I enjoyed 2 quite a bit
cons: I never actually finished 2 because it got a little old after a while (and I don’t do MP)
Phoenix Point
pros: a genre I really love
cons: everyone says it needs more time in the oven
Mechwarrior 5
pros: blowing up robots is always fun
cons: doesn’t seem to have much legs to keep going after 30 or 40 hours, and honestly I prefer the more slow-stompy approach than this looks to be
Any thoughts from the peanut gallery, including any suggestions of games I may not have thought of? (I already own Hades, Operencia, and of course Rebel Galaxy Outlaw on Epic)
I got Journey to the Savage Planet. Looking forward to messing with that.
I used my $10 coupon on Trials Rising and then wished I had just let the coupon lapse. It’s pretty lame that it’s expiring.
Hmm. A couple interesting options!
I really want Control but I decided if I’ve waited this long, I might as well wait for it to come to Steam.

I’m really enjoying the free game “Sherlock Holmes Crimes & Punishment”. It’s a clever design. You play Holmes, but he figures things out before he does, and you have to work out his reasoning.
I’m waiting to see if Industries of Titan looks good, otherwise, I’ll prolly just use the coupon of Surviving the Aftermath.

Surviving the Aftermath and Phoenix Point are my two favorites on the site…followed by outer worlds.
Yep Industries will probably get my coupon.
Do we know what the price will be at release?
DOH! I totally forgot I had that as well. Good game.
Don’t think so, it’s supposed to be coming out on the 14, so, not much longer to wait…

Where do you all see this coupon?
They were given out around Christmas, I think you had to claim it on the EGS.
It was $10 off a future purchase of $15.
For me it automatically showed up when I tried to buy something.
If you log into EGS on your computer, look toward the bottom left and you’ll see your user name. Click that, and a new menu pops up which includes Coupons as a selection.

Awesome thanks! I have it!
I’m tempted to use the coupon on Hades. The only thing holding me back is that I don’t like playing games in Early Access. Still, $9.99 sounds like a great deal with the coupon.
I’m of the same mind; I gave it a short spin when I got it and it’s quite good, but I put it on hold until it’s all finished because I want the “full experience” (whatever that may entail) when it comes out of early access. Based on the quality of the gameplay I experienced, it’s absolutely worth $9.99. The only question is whether something else may be more worthwhile for your tastes, and especially if you’re a “sit and wait” type like myself.
The other one that’s really tempting is Tetris Effect. It’s just not a big enough sale yet. $18 even after the coupon. Over the years I’ve already spent a lot of money on Tetris, especially during the 360 era, and most of those ended up disappointing compared to the Tetris from my college days.
