A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Borderlands 3, if you somehow missed it, for under £5 is just a good value.

in all seriousness, you can't go very wrong with games made by valve, portal especially.

Returnal (29.99€) (Rogue-like shooter),

The Mafia Trilogy is $15 for the whole shebang, or $7.50 for any one of the individual games. I grabbed Mafia 3.

Talos Principle is $5

Talos Principle 2 is $15

Highly recommend both games!

That's...weird. When I checked the price yesterday Fallen Order was 18.99? Did they do a deeper discount?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago

Double checked receipt, and I did indeed get it for that price

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

You sure you didn't get the price for Survivor?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

Yeah this is probably it. Getting my titles mixed up or something.

Maybe? I see it at $3.99, $4.99 is for the deluxe version. I don't see it at $18.99 on Is There Any Deal, but who knows!

Celeste is 75% off and is a near-masterpiece of a game.

Portal 1 and Portal 2 are on sale again of course on the chance you haven't yet hit these absolutely classic legendary games.

Persona 4 Golden is 40% off and is awesome, and Persona 5 Royal is 60% and is even more awesome.

Metal: Hellsinger is 70% off and while it isn't a GOTY type game, it's a hell of a lot of fun if you're a contemporary metal music fan.

but my biggest recommendation is probably gonna be

Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale at 80% for only $3.99 (US) which is an completely underrated hidden gem of a game and a huge recommendation for anyone who likes quirky cozy-hybrid games or who, like me, spent way too long on the shopkeeper segments in RPGs like Torneko Taloon's chapter in DQIV.

edit: why in the world would anyone ever downvote a personal recommendation comment? Weird behavior, fam

Recettear

This game rocks. 'Nuff said.

I like this indie game critic, he has a recommendation video for sale

Mass Effect legendary edition (all 3 games + all DLCs) is on for 6 Euro.

That's a great deal IMO

We picked up Journey and Star Traders Frontier. I've wanted to play Journey since it came out but I didn't have the proper console. Well, I forgot I put it on the wishlist, and that's a real good price so.

I've (sung? musically yelled at?) another person already.

I've heard great things about steam world heist 2 and just picked it up.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 22 hours ago

Noita is currently 60% off and is hands down the best game I have ever played (kind of). It is ridiculously brutal and you will die very often but you have the potential to get ludicrously powerful as well. The game will cheese you so don't be afraid to cheese it back. In has so much content that beating the final boss for the first time is considered beating the tutorial.

Also if the some aspects are too bullshit for you there is a variety of mods to fix these, and there is absolutely no shame in using them.
