I picked up Total War: WARHAMMER III and Pennon and Battle, both strategy games. I'm thinking of getting Baldur's Gate 3 as well. This should keep me busy for a while. My holiday plan is to stay home and game!

I wish I could play through it again with fresh eyes. I've played through it 3 times. Enjoy.
I haven't bought anything. We've still got another week to go though, so I might pick up something. I'm a patient gamer so I'm still waiting for Cyberpunk and expansion to come down in price. Otherwise there isn't a whole lot that interests me right now.
I'm mostly waiting on updates for a few games I already own: Balatro is getting a big update in the new year, Enshrouded, Against the Storm, and Timberborn. I should get back in to BG3 too. I bought it on release and put 20 hours in and then just... stopped playing.

Bustafellows (95% sale). I have a huge backlog of [email protected] to play, and Bustafellows is not on it. But it was also like $2 so… worst comes to worst, I play the game some day, hate it, and my purchase serves to signal "hey, English-speaking ladies who do not live in Japan also like otome games, localizing them is a good business choice". Which means more otome for me! I have heard of so many Japan-only games that sound so cool but also I cannot play them because I won't understand a damn thing the characters say, and they are usually super story-based.
The Magic Circle. I forget what recommendation list I saw it on to be honest, but it still seems to hold up as something I would like and think is cool.
I like [email protected] games, so I was going to grab Parkitect, saw it in a bundle with more tycoon games, grabbed the bundle to also collect Project Hospital and Game Dev Tycoon. (I already had Parkasaurus.)
I also like automation games. I think its community might be on a dead instance… maybe I'll make a new one. Finally grabbed myself Factorio (will never be on sale) along with Satisfactory (finally out of Early Access. I will never buy an EA game, I will always wait for it to exit EA).
Finally, Sun Haven. Stardew Valley fan, from what I have seen of SH it seems like something I'd like, and price dropped.
Aside from Factorio, everything I grabbed was on sale. Aside from Satisfactory, all the sales were 50% or more.
Might get more. We will see.
I've been playing Parkitect over the last months, it's pretty fun! Usually I don't stick with Tycoon games for long, but I did >10 campaign levels there.
Only bummer is that the tooling around blueprints is pretty underdeveloped (can't sort/tag them, very inflexible), and it gets tiring to recreate all the basic decorations around food courts etc.
I got Life is Strange: Double Exposure. It was meh. Not super bad but had enough bugs to push it in that direction.
After that I played The Excavation of Hob's Barrow which was phenomenal.
I didn't pick up any of the deep discount items but I did pick up a few items on my wishlist. I picked up Mouthwashing, WitchSpring R, Little Kitty Big City, the Nonory game collection and Okami HD. I already have the last two but I wanted them in the Steam library so I can play them on my deck.
I don't remember if it was on sale, but I got 10 Dead Doves on a whim and I'm not dissapointed so far.
Wayfinder, Gothic and Blades of Time so far.
Neva and Plucky Squire. Oh and Islets.
a few games i pirated earlier in the year, heh, and Pathologic 2, Lunacid (as of a few seconds ago), Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 (to check out the openrct2 mod), dwarf fortress, & Odallus the Dark Call.
I ended up getting Metal Gear Rising: Revengence, Sonic Adventure 2, Prey, Daemon X Machina, and Dragon Age 2. I have no regrets in my eclectic sale impulses hahaha

Spiritfarer: Farewell edition, Celeste and Stardew valley.
I got
- Nightmares I and II
- Firewatch
- Never Alone
Exit the Gungeon (It's meh) Okami Axiom Verge Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R (That didn't work for me, refunded) Fight Knight (Might refund, it's not fun) New Super Lucky's Tale (2 in 1, remaster and original. Cool)
I misread that as enter the gungeon and got confused. But yeah exit the gungeon is a mobile game so it's mid to low tier.

I got:
Saints Row 2022 Not actually that bad honestly. I think we were too harsh on them. It's still fun, the characters are likeable, and it's got all the stuff you expect for a saints row game.
CP Phantom Liberty Not gonna be able to get this played for a bit but I'm hopeful.
Anemoiapolis I like backrooms and I got Pools a few weeks ago but got kind of bored so hopefully this one is better since it has actual puzzles.
I'm spoilering these. You know what that means. Don't fucking @ me.
spoiler
Mage Kanade's Futanari Dungeon Quest
Midnight Castle Succubus
Tower and Sword: Succubus These last two are part of a series, and I already played Castle in the Clouds. Even without the porn it's still a competent side scroller action platformer so I have good hopes for these two.
Might get more idk.
I recently learned about "From the depths" because of Martincintopants Video about it. Yesterday evening I saw, that it was 50% off and bought it immediately.
Assassins Creed Odyssey and Fields of Mistrial.
Wasn't ajlot i wanted that i didnt already have.
Outpost Infinity, Executive Assault and something that was cheap and on my wishlist for a long time, totalling BRL 89 (~15 dollars)
Thaumaturge. Very atmospheric I think. Also, I think the setting is quite fresh, and I think that should be rewarded.
