My Steam library basically only consists of Witcher 3 and Spiritfarer. I also was gifted a Humble Bundle game for Batman Arkham Knight.

I’m debating on getting Elden Ring and Cyberpunk (both without DLC).

Marvel’s Spider-Man and FF7 Interograde also look like a good value right now for 40 bucks total.

Edit, ended up doing the following:

Becoming a Steam Family member with my dad and buying the following.

  • FFVII Retrograde
  • Mass Effect Legendary
  • Divinity 1 and 2
  • Caveblazers
  • Portal 2
  • Hollow Knight

I also set up emudeck and transferred all my GBA, GBC, and GCN games that I have ROMS for.

        Story based RPGs mainly. I like longer games with more interesting gameplay recently.

        Recently been playing:

        Stray (Xbox)

        Pokémon Odyssey (iPhone emulated ROM hack)

        Expedition 33 (Xbox)

        Mass Effect LE (Xbox)

        Pokémon Colosseum (iPhone Emulation)

        Zenless Zone Zero (mobile)

        Wuthering Waves (mobile)

        Last night I started up my first playthrough of TW3 as well and tried out some free games I got from giveaways here on the Fediverse, like Spiritfarer.

        Specifically with Zenless, I really like the combat there with the parrying mechanics.

          Pillars of Eternity

          Tyranny

          Disco Elysium (just pirate this one, the original creators got swindled out of their company and will see no cent if you buy it, they themselves endorse the piracy)

        I have tried a couple and just don’t care for the gameplay loop as much.

        I have tried Dead Cells and Hades for a couple hours.

          I’m just gonna chime in to point out those are both realtime combat focused games, requiring reflex and quick thinking, which is a notable departure from roguelike. On the other hand, Slay the Spire is all about careful planning, making decisions one step at a time, taking calculated risks. There’s no turn time limit, no time-based combos or bonuses, or time-gated doors that give you extra items if you go fast enough.

          Oh, and also meta-progression. Hades and Dead Cells are both built with a central system of grinding out unlocks and upgrades - in slay the spire, the only meta-progression I know is having to beat the game with each character to unlock the next, and having to complete a few runs with each character to unlock all cards… And then the real progression, where you can continue beating the game with increasing difficulty levels to unlock the next.

          Ultimately, this might not matter for you, and even if it does, a slow strategic deckbuilder might still not be for you, and that’s completely fine.

          Well it’s not just a roguelite, it is mainly a deckbuilder. Roguelite just happens to be how it is structured.

          I was a skeptical too and so far I have only enjoyed roguelites where it was just one of many elements. Slay The Spire or Road Redemption for example.

          FTL on the other hand, a true roguelite, I didn’t like at all.

      I think its $2.50 right now. You can try it out a little bit and if you don’t like you can always refund?
