I was looking at getting some roguelikes / lites (already have ToME, CoQ), unfortunately Cataclysm DDA is not on sale.

Krone Hotel at 90% off looks like a decent choice too. Then there’s Jupiter Hell, which I recently stumbled upon and looks great too.

I’d also like to get some of the FF games, though I’ve played VI, VII, IX and a bit of XII, it would be nice to revisit some of the older ones I haven’t played almost since the PSX era.

    I finally picked up Graveyard Keeper and all the DLC. Really fun game and plays great on the Steam Deck.

    @[email protected] If you buy the oldest FFs, 1-3, keep in mind that the versions on Steam have massive changes to game mechanics to make the games easier and more like FF7. I don’t think it does FF1 any favors because the difficulty was a lot of what the game had going for it on replays, but if you just want to say you beat FF1 the Steam version does the job.

    I’m thinking of picking up SaGa Frontier myself. Does it seem worth $15 to people?

    I’ve reached a weird sort of critical mass where steam sales no longer provide me with dopamine

          I just bought that too. I’m only afraid to play it because I know I’ll never be able to stop.

            Luckily there is an actual end-game, about 100 hours in! Basically when there’s nothing left to exploit haha.

            I’m waiting for the combat update before I play a new round.

    You know that Cataclysm DDA is Free software, right ?

    Just open the terminal and execute

    sudo pacman -S cataclysm-dda

    It is unlikely that Cataclysm ever goes on sale, because the steam release basically is just a donation. You can get the game for free on the official website: https://cataclysmdda.org

    There you can also donate other amounts than the Steam price.

    Necesse. It’s like top-down Terraria with colonists that organize your chests for you. Great early game content, anyway.

        Not the guy you responded to, but I have experience with the game and stream deck.

        The controller works fine, although I can’t help but think some buttons for actions are incorrect. Like cancel on one menu is one button, but a different button elsewhere. I believe controller support was somewhat recently added though so maybe it’s just not fully baked.

        I suppose I could contact the author and let them know my feedback.

    I’m grabbing Nier Automata finally. I have it on disc in ps4, but my ps5 is digital only. So it’s going to be great to play this absolute classic on sd

      Fantastic game, just know that after you beat the game and they say you should play it again. They really really mean it lol. Most of the content comes after the first ending

    Really debating finally going after Fallout 4 GOTY, Dredge, and Rift Wizard as they’re all on my wishlist.
