Bloons TD 6 will also get an honourable mention at 90% off (under £2!) that's Steam Deck Playable, and just so much fun, especially in co-op.

Over to you in the comments, what are you picking up this sale? I know I shouldn't, I have thousands of games waiting for me but…how many thousands is too many? I don't need an answer to that, you all know I'm going to buy something. Just a little extra game, as a treat.

I picked that up and a non-Linux native game at 50%, a nice little point & click that should be a good late-night distraction during summer vacation.

Guilty, but...

At those prices, how can you NOT pick something up? :-D
Quoting: suchThis sale I'm pretty much joining the New Steam Sales Naysayers in that a lot of the stuff I'm interested in is actually more expensive than it has been in recent sales due to either a price increase, a lower discount, or both. The rest is either not on sale at all, or nowhere near a price point I'd pull the trigger at.Luckily for me, the sorts of games I enjoy do tend to see pretty steep discounts! There are good deals on most of my wishlist right now.
Quoting: suchAnd if you're coming from Nintendo sales this is still insane deals.Being a fan of handhelds, that's where I came from (good riddance to them). Nintendo's sales are basically non-existent - not just on their own titles, but on third-party and indie ones as well. It's laughable.
Quoting: WoodlandorWait, when did you start liking Bomberman games?!
Quoting: StoneColdSpiderHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!Haha, very funny, you guys.
Well Pengling has a reputation to uphold......
There is a Bomberman clone that I've got my eye on (a refugee from the Intellivision Amico scam, called Dynablaster, which was originally the name used for the series in the UK for a few years in the early 1990s; No idea if they'll run into problems for using that name), but it's quite limited and not in this sale, so I won't be picking that up yet.

Which is how I learned about the Sequel to Myst -- Riven just came out 3 days ago.

Which is especially interesting because of the VR element.
Looking for Steam Deck / LAN games -- something tells me I'll be making some purchases for my weekly weekend LAN party. I just hope to get some good Steam Deck and games that run on mid-grade potatoes.
As dumb as it sounds, Left 4 Dead 2 @ 99 cents was actually a really fun play on Steam Deck last week.
Maybe it's time for a CS2 Poolday throwback :P
By all means please tell us what you're buying and your favorite / most clocked hour gamess @all
I think the first UE5 game with native linux support
