Steam Summer Sale 2025 has begun!
-
All these have been on my wishlist for ever. Finally made the purchases today.
- Stardew Valley
- Disco Elysium
- Kerbal Space Program
Edit to add
Disco Elysium has been refunded. Thanks everyone for the advice.Disco Elysium drama aside, this is an absurdly great trio of games. Literally thousands of potential hours. Psssst: KSP mods.

I'm planning to buy:
As I mainly play on the Steam Deck.
Any other recommendations?
I have Valkie 64, and I say save your money. Last I played it, it was VERY rough, unpolished, and felt unfinished. It didn't properly replicate N64 graphics, looking more like an emulator from 2005 with the internal resolution cracked way up and only basic bilinear texture filtering. The controls are clunky, and I don't mean like in an N64 game way, I mean they just feel bad.
Even for $5 USD or whatever, I say its not worth it. I was disappointed because the trailer seemed to make it look like an attempt to recapture the magic of Ocarina of Time, but it doesn't do that at all. Like, not even close.

And Factorio still doesn't changes price. Wth
I don't think it goes on sale, at least not for any significant amount. To be fair, it's easily worth the full price, which is not something I often say.
-
yup, but in exchange would you give up the refund process that we now have?
Personally, yes.

Yeah, they took a shot at doing their pricing strategy backwards from everyone else. The game was cheapest when it was in early access and the cost has only gone up as they make the game bigger and better. I don't think it has ever gone on sale, but is easily worth the full price.

Dear God no. Refund Disco Elysium if you can. Some shady asshole ended up stealing the game from the original creators so any purchases you make ends up lining the pockets of the thieves.
The original creators have actually encouraged people to pirate the game instead.
Check the mega thread here to get started. The game is excellent, just don't give your money to the slimy suit that stole the game.

Aa per the FAQ on their website, Factorio will never go on sale.

Iirc the creators said they'll never put it on sale because that's unfair to people who paid the full price. The price is the price for Factorio.

I bought
- Nine Sols
- Gris
- Celeste
- Outer Wilds
- Unravel Two
Gris is a fun afternoon jaunt. I just picked up Outer Wilds finally, too. Looking forward to it quite a bit after reading a lot of reviews.

Has the refund process changed? From what I remember it has always been very easy to refund?

Summer Stale.
I miss the old sales, when games had deep discounts and the deals cycled like every 2/4/6/8 hours.
Yeah idk if its nostalgia or wut.
In my head, the sales were much deeper like you say, but I could be wrong.
I also miss when the sale would start and there'd be a minigame or some type of event. They've really been streamlining a lot of stuff though I think to reduce network traffic maybe, or maybe they haven't had the time for events when they are redesigning their whole client and steamos and stuff.

There's always the five finger discount

It’s already the cheapest game per minute played

What're you buying?
Lossless Scaling. Worth it

I have like 4k hours in that stupid game. I love it so much
-
What're you buying?
Why is Persona 3 Portable more expensive than Persona 4 Golden? Why is SEGA being so stingy with only a 20% discount. Another 5% (on the SALE price) if we use the Persona bundle. Why SEGA...? It's the oldest and ugliest one. Why...

Well, the refund policy has only existed 10 years now. Well in it's current form. Previously refunds were much harder to get.

The periodic sale is already driving up the consumerism enough for me, I really don't need to buy more games, but I want to
