I get the gist of this game. Build some rockets with lifelike physics, right? Do you think it’d be fun on steam deck?

Split Fiction is worth the MSRP. Ideally it’s great if you can get it on a discount, but this is one of the few games I’d pay full price for. My spouse and I loved it.

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 isnso good. But even the devs said they would rather have it that people pirate the game bacause they got fucked over and don't make money of the game anymore.

honestly the only ones I picked up this year are the Crash Bandicoot Trilogy and Jurassic World Evolution 2. that's it.

I don't think it's a matter of the sale is meh but most of the stuff with deep discounts is always on sale with previous sales and thus I already picked that stuff up. You'll constantly see the same games over and over with each sale and when you participate in each sale that number of games to get great deals on becomes less and less.

I have no idea how vehicle construction would work with a joystick, but other than that should be basically the same. Flying/landing might even be better on controller. It also has a native Linux client that isn't just a shitty port.

but it doesn't go out of date

That's not necessarily true. There has been DLC for Train Simulator (now classic) that got delisted and at some point no longer worked due to updates to the game and not to the DLC making it incompatible. Then at some point a new version got added as DLC which you had to buy again to get a working train. (8448 Big Boy and 6446 Challenger come to mind)

I'm in the same boat, but that does mean we both already have plenty of games to play.

Btw Jurassic World Evolution 2 is really great.

that's the one that david bowie did the soundtrack for right?

Didn't go too overboard since I have a lot of other unplayed games and money is tight. But I picked these up:

• Sapo 3D (3D Platformer)
• ATLYSS (Action RPG)
• Lunacid (Dungeon Crawler)
• Kaze and the Wild Masks (2D Platformer)
• Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy (3D Platformer)
• Anodyne (Action Adventure)

Nice taste, similar to mine. I just picked up Sapo 3D. Played Pseudoregalia recently and loved it.

I suggest you take a look at Cavern of Dreams and Frogun.

Thanks, I hadn't heard of Frogun! So many frog games with Kero Quest 64 too!

Zone of the enders is one of my favorite games of all time. The combat is unmatched imo. Still love how fast that combat was, dragonball z on mechs basically. So fun.

I think I'm going to get the Dead Space remake (90% off currently), Granny: Escape Together (I like horror), and Escape the Mad Empire to start.

Might pick up more later in the sale, but this will keep me busy.

Remember you can get things refunded if you don't end up liking a game.

I got gnome jigsaw puzzles and the frog DLC for against the storm

How did that happen?

Indeed. I think if you know about the other storefronts and isthereanydeal you don't get a wrapped about steam summer sale. There's usually some new ATLs that push newer/bigger game prices down a bit further than usual though.

I actually looked up the source for this and couldn't find it.

That being said I agree with the sentiment.

There's a rather long documentary on it. I want to say by NoClip but not totally sure.

Short version is they came up with the idea in the 90s I want to say, playing tabletop with a friend group. Two main designers. Helped set up a company to make a computer RPG version and designed and built the game with a team. Outsider investing came in and bought up some amount of the company.

Once game was built and shipped and they were looking into what to do next they were effectively ousted from the company. So the two original designers of the game now get nothing and lost control of their passion project.

Edit: while. NoClip is making one, the one I'm thinking of was done by People Make Games. At least I think it's this one? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JGIGA8taN-M
