          We’re entertainment dragons.

          We sleep upon the amassed collection of potential future fun in every unplayed game.

          Once you try the game, you may realize that you don’t even like it.

    I bought two:

    • ACE COMBAT™7: SKIES UNKNOWN - $4.79 (Flying makes me hard)

    • Detroit: Become Human - $3.99 (always looking for something to experience with my barely-gamer s/o)

    Welcome to Kowloon and The Swapper are both ones I’ve had on my list and both are about $2. Why not?

    Besides that, I’m going to try and play some more Baldur’s Gate 3 or Cyberpunk 2077 during the holidays, as I’m still in the early stages of both.

    I was looking at Fallout 76 since its 90% off but what’s the concensus on it? Plan is to play with the wife.

      I was really positively surprised by it! Picked it up two years ago and thought I’d spend a couple of hours in it. I’ve spent almost 200 hours in Appalachia by now - one of my favourite comfort games!

      I like it a lot. It’s not my favorite of the games, but I think it’s a great game whether played in a public lobby or not. I do usually prefer a private lobby, but not always.

    I got Fallout 4’s DLC - primarily so I can play Fallout London. I also picked up X4: Foundations, and Fallout 76 as well. All were pretty heavily discounted.

      Is Fallout London easy to mod on Steam? I read that it requires some extra step, compared to GOG? And since I have the Deck only, do you know if it is easy to install it on the Deck?

        Also curious about this. I didn’t want to do a whole new play through with a gog one but don’t really want the hassle of setting up the London mod with my steam version. Been holding off until I get more time to mess with it but the longer I go the more likely I just suck it up and start over on gog.

          I have Fallout 4 but not the mods, plus 200Gb of free space is kind of rich, so I would better know how well it runs and if it is really worth it.

    • Shape of Dreams: Need to scratch that hack n slash itch. D4 is boring and PoE 2 ran horrible on my machine. New game but under $15.
    • Cuphead: One of my kids has wanted to play this for years. Xmas present for him.
    • Date Everything: The other kid wants this one. Xmas present. I dunno, man.
    • The Seance of Blake Manor: Our family loves these kinds of games and it’s one of the only ways to get us all in a room. New game but under $15.
    • Split Fiction: I hate the price still but my wife loved It Takes Two. Fiiiiiiine.
    • Duck Detective The Secret Salami: Another family game.
    • Echoes of the Plum Grove: I like this kinda stuff
    • Capcom Fighting Collection 2: Man I love Power Stone.

      Is Seance of Blake Manor the first Blue Prince-like? I’m very hyped about it too but I’m still waiting for more than -25% off. Let me know how you like it, Blue Prince was my GOTY so another game to scratch that itch is enticing.

        That’s a great question. I’m not sure. I played Blue Prince and really liked it, but my family went and found Seance because they thought it was like Roottrees and Immortality.

      Date Everything has the appeal of many known voice actors being involved in this silly story. It’s great fun to puzzle out all the voice lines - especially if youre fan of some of the actors.

    here is your reminder to take a peek over on GOG aswell. personally found steam’s offerings pretty lacking this year. GOG’s; less so.

      True, I however got a Steam voucher as a present recently so it made more sense to use it for this. GOG doesn’t do vouchers or do they? Couldn’t find it last time I looked, you can gift specific games though. I might just be blind.

      Anyway, to keep with theme of the thread I got 3 games for my voucher:

      Dave the diver

      Tunic

      The last campfire

      I remember Stranglehold being mind-blowing for its time. I’m pretty sure I had a physical copy that is long gone, but 5 bucks is not much to see how it has held up.

      Also strongly considering breaking my early access rule to check out Jump Space. The main thing holding me back is trying to get a few friends to pick it up as I don’t want the crew to just be me and a bot.

        I highly recommend Jump Space if you can recruit your buddies! It’s pretty similar in terms of gameplay feel to Deep Rock Galactic - team play is pretty rewarding, goofing off won’t penalize you too hard. Worth every penny so far

      Doom 2016 was my game for last year and into early this year. For what it’s worth, I enjoyed it quite a bit once I got into it. I tried to start it a few times and that didn’t work out, but then suddenly last winter, it all just clicked.

      I had also tried Doom Eternal, and that’s not my thing. Doom 2016 lets you play at your own pace, your own style, and make your own choices on how to play … mostly. Doom Eternal you basically have to play it the way THEY want you to play and use the weapons THEY want you to use and if you don’t then you’re in for an unfun struggle. Doom 2016 isn’t really like that, in my opinion and experience.

    Y’all got any recs for “AI sandboxes” in the vein of Rimworld and Stellaris? Stellaris is just borked now, and I’ve modded/played the hell out of Rimworld.

    I haven’t bought anything yet, but I’ve been compiling a short list of mostly DRPG games like the old Might and Magics that I’ve been playing, specifically ones that’ll work on the Deck nicely. It’s a genre I loved when I was younger that’s been rather missing from my modern collection.

    • Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord

    and/or

    • Wizardry: Labyrinth of Lost Souls
    • Legends of Amberland II
    • Operencia: The Stolen Sun
    • Songs of Conquest (not a DRPG, but a great-looking spiritual successor to Heroes of Might and Magic 3.)

    And then on GoG, I might pick up a few real old ones, like Lands of Lore and/or Wizards & Warriors, but I don’t think those will be good for steam deck even through Heroic.
