With a little bit of wallet money I bought Fates of Ort.
I have this one on Switch, too, but my girlfriend pretty much monopolizes the Switch (which is fair, it’s hers!), and it will run on her Mac laptop, which has a much more reliable battery than my old Windows laptop and is just in general more comfortable to use.
This game is very intriguing and I will probably make a post about it soon as it’s gotten basically zero mention on here.
Definitely write something up soon - this looks like it would be fun on my Switch and it’s also on sale there, so I’d like some thoughts and info before I drop $8 on it. Thanks for putting this on my radar, regardless!
Solasta and MSFS are both on Xbox PC Gamepass along with hundreds of others games. May be worth looking into. There is a way you can get 3 years of Gamepass for around $100+
I am pondering this purchase as well, and I also have Kingmaker Complete and D:OS 2 hanging around in my backlog. I also can’t shake the feeling that Solasta is about to enter that phase where it’s highly likely to pop up as a Humble Choice offering, headliner for a $15+ bundle from Humble or Fanatical, or even steeper than 60% discount as part of a sale somewhere.
Other titles off my wishlist that have reached discounts large enough to be tempting include:
OR, I may skip everything else and just throw $30 at
If I choose not to decide, I still have made a choice!
Also on my Wishlist, but alas, it’s only 50% off and therefore does not meet my stringent “straight to backlog games must be 60% off or more at purchase” requirement. =)
FWIW I ended up grabbing this and while I’m only a few hours in, I’m really enjoying it so far. It looks neat, great animation and ambience though darker in tone (visually). It seems to be telling a story I’m finding interesting enough to want to keep pushing forward, and the mechanics (like how your decisions move you along a “morality” chart that unlocks things based on the choices you’ve made) coupled with dialog you could get and friends (and enemies) you can make by said choices hint at maybe a second play through being worth doing as well. So far so good! Two days in a row I’ve looked forward to diving back into it after work or when I wake up, so that’s a good sign.
I ended up returning Tabletop Simulator. Seems neat but I’ll stick with my real tabletop for boardgames.
So with $10 in my Steam wallet, I grabbed $40 of games! Yay, math!
I picked up:
Ace Combat 7 (I think the new Top Gun is really helping sales for this one!)
Golftopia
Lair of the Clockwork God
Little Nightmares 2
I’m still planning to buy Children of Morta before the sale is over, no doubt along with a few more titles in my usual last-day-of-the-sale burst of bad judgement.
Thanks! This sounds good since I was looking for a couple of games I could pick up and play. Something without having to remember what the hell I was doing the last time from months ago.
I picked up Lonely Mountains last week, and that has been very enjoyable for short sessions so far. The runs are quick and just take a couple of minutes, and the game gives a really nice feel of speed and outdoor atmosphere.
There is actually a mission in the middle of the campaign which is similar :) It’s worth a budget buy IMO. You’ll know within the refund period if it’s for you.
Thanks to today’s Fanatical Star Deal I picked up Persona 4 Arena Ultimax and ended up with a $1 off coupon to grab Timesplitters 2 as well. Add to that the aforementioned DJMAX DLC plus Risk of Rain 2 and No Man’s Sky from CDkeys.com and it was a pretty uneventful sale for me. My library just crossed 4k so I’ve got plenty of backlog to work on and rediscover on the Deck anyway.
Add Distant Worlds 2 to my damage. I noticed it was 19% off because I had purchased the first game. I think I’m done now… until last minute “the sale is ending!” panic sets in tomorrow morning. Creeper World 4 is calling to me.
