Steam Summer Sale 2025 has begun!
-
Technically no (what game actually needs them?) but I like to do trophy hunting so practically yes.
I'm exaggerating with the explicit 'need' word choice, but a quick glance at the specific dlc reviews of Sims 4, Monster Hunter World, and Destiny 2 should give you an idea of why I dislike the concept. Hell, you couldn't even get a conclusion to one of the assassin's creed narratives without the dlc and I personally find this revolting as someone that loves video games way too much. I know I'm basically just overzealous about the principle of these things, but I really believe we need more people taking more responsibility for the embarrassing precedents we're creating

What're you buying?
So... who's getting what?
-
I'm planning to buy:
As I mainly play on the Steam Deck.
Any other recommendations?
wrote last edited by [email protected]I made the indie game INK INSIDE, which is based on a lost cartoon pilot I pitched to Nickelodeon in 2015.
Instead, I turned it into a cartoon show action RPG staring Brian David Gilbert.
It has a completely unique combat mechanic that's a combination of beat-em-ups and bust-a-move. It's big on narrative, loot, and world building and even has live action segments.
We're on sale at 50% for only $10.
Would love for you to check it out, as it seems like you might really enjoy it based on the other games in your cart!
PS - Game works great on Steam Deck! (We just don't have the green check yet because it takes Valve forever to provide them)

A Game About Digging a Hole looks to be a fun game to play while your legs fall asleep on the toilet. Only 20% off, but it's a sub $5 game.
-
7 bucks? Saw that and immediately opened steam.
Am I missing something? That's the only bundle I found for animal well...
wrote last edited by [email protected]I just finished animal well. Fuck $80 games, its a $200 game.
$18 is totally worth it. Try not to look anything up unless you have to.

They're gonna be in my backlog for a while, but earlier I got Kerbal Space Program 1 ( with DLC ) all for less than $15USD before tax and the Steins;Gate visual novel for something like $3.99 before tax. Would have gotten S;G Zero as well, but I am low on funds as of now.

Oooh I was thinking of grabbing Steins. I know I watched the anime several years ago and enjoyed it, but only have hazy recollections of the plot. Doing the VN seems just enough same, just enough different to be fun.

Was hoping for a discount on Spilt Fiction. Nothing so far.
-
KSP1 is the bees knees and the modding community is still going as strong as ever. Still worthwhile even at full price.
Still mad that they fucked up KSP2. I realize it was a different studio, but I'm not happy about it.
-
I wish Expedition 33 was more than 10% off. I get why, but still.
My wishlist has some sub $5USD games so I'll probably drop 20 or so. I really don't need the extras though. According to SteamDB, I've only played about 41% of my 714 games - and that doesn't include all the GOG and free Epic/Amazon games I've snagged over the years.
Expedition 33 is often high discounted on instant gaming.
It's 40% off now https://www.instant-gaming.com/en/17015-buy-clair-obscur-expedition-33-pc-steam/

Anything good?

Still unemployed so I'm not even looking. If capital doesn't want to hire me, they can't have any more of my money.
Looking at how few places are hiring now compared to 2 years ago is honestly terrifying.

Just finished Tyranny and Pilliars of eternity so I'm picking up the sequel Deadfire. Checked out the price history last week and seems like it's regularly 75% off during seasonal sales so I'm pleased to see it at $10.
Love Tyranny and PoE. Think Deadfire would have been an exceptional game if there was about half as much of it, but even as an epic RPG it does go on. Ten bucks for 'three big games' of content is a steal, though.
It isn't that 'successful game has a better-funded sequel that loses the magic due to feature creep' is exactly unheard of - it's a tale as old as time. But Deadfire was a sales disappointment, which it probably wouldn't have been if they'd only spent half as much making it, and so we won't be getting a PoE3

For whatever itās worth, I never finished it, as an avid crpg fan. Itās not the hours it takes, itās the constant feeling that youāve got so much to do but no real idea where to start, or where to go, or what to do. If it was a world map with clickable places, like the original baldurs gates or even the somewhat intimidating but still much more digestible owlcatās pathfinders style ārailroadā experience, itād been much nicer. But the free map to roam just makes both decisions harder, and also the seashell collector inside me awaken and suddenly I have to explore each pixel of the map in case I miss something, which is very exhausting on top of the already exhausting freedom.

Let's hope for Kitten Space Agency then! It has dves and modders from the first and second games in its team.

Since Elden Rings success, fromsoft games don't get deep discounts, really. They raised prices for the Dark Souls games, as well.
Bought it anyways now. Have played both star wars games often enough, so need a new soulslike now
-
What're you buying?
Fear & Hunger 1 & 2 for me among others. Stellar Blade not on sale though... I get it but... It's so expensive...
-
What're you buying?
I keep whining about the lack of new, adventurous action games and dead PS2 franchises, so I figured I put my money where my mouth is and buy Gungrave G.O.R.E.
I love OG Gungrave (wish they port it to Steam)āOverdose not so much because I found it too obtuse in terms of level design and controls.
I'm also looking at Spirit X Strike. It's too reactive for my taste, so I haven't decided yet, but I want to support the developer.
Maybe I'll grab Zone of the Enders 2 as well? I don't remember how much I liked it, gotta revisit the PS2 game first.

What're you buying?
I purchased a bunch of dlc for Train Sim World (tsw). I only buy dlc for tsw when its on sale, save a small fortune that way.
Bonus savings if you can get one of the bundles on sale for double discount. I got £150 of dlc for about £55. Yeah dlc is super expensive for tsw but it doesn't go out of date and nor is it needed for a multiplayer mode so why rush?
Been after the expansion pack for Germany and the Preston Route for ages.
Train Sim World
5: West Coast Main Line: Preston - Carlisle Route Add-On
Train Sim World5: Schnellfahrstrecke Kassel - Würzburg Route Add-On
Train Sim World5: DB BR 101 Loco Add-On
Train Sim World5: Maintalbahn: Aschaffenburg - Miltenberg Route Add-On
Train Sim World5: Hauptstrecke Rhein-Ruhr: Duisburg - Bochum Route Add-On
Train Sim World5: Ruhr-Sieg Nord: Hagen - Finnentrop Route Add-On
Train Sim World5: DB BR 363 Loco Add-On

Plenty of stuff, turns out. But I'm sticking to my guns. I have a big backlog anyway.
I've seen so many games that are super cheap. But right now i play mainly deadlock, which was free. Or some demos from steam next fest, which are so good that i played like 3 hours and am happy with.
