Sucks. I'm broke going into all these sales and black Friday because it's been a really terrible year for me, so I'm going to miss all the sales.

I found this survival game called Nuclear Nightmare that just launched before Halloween that is currently 80% off at $1.39 on steam. It had 3,700 players online within the last day. Excellent deal and MUST BUY if a fan of genre.

I would also recommend to anyone who enjoys FPS games, if you don't own F.E.A.R, now is the time. Its only a buck on GOG or two bucks on steam. MUST BUY if a fan of genre.

On the brighter side, there'll be the Winter Sale soon after the Autumn Sale finishes, and the Spring Sale not that long after that.

Do these EA games (like Mass Effect) still work with the new EA launcher? most of my games going through the launch are borked.

Well with 616 games into your account you won’t be bored at all haha.

There hasn't been anything that has tempted me into buying, but I'm still busy with Steamworld Quest which I bought on GOG a few weeks ago.

Do I need Brotato if I'm still not done with Vampire Survivors and Halls of Torment?

Lego Pirates of the Caribbean

Nice game, but there are a few locations that are quite crashy. I've played it last year (?) for the first time.

Wolfenstein Youngblood

I don't have that one, but it has quite a reputation for being very janky.

Youngblood was the cheapest of the lot... I guess I don't have much to loose.

For closer to $2 there's

Layers of Fear (2016)
Severed Steel
Darkest Dungeon
The Hunter Call of the Wild
Killing Floor 2
Slime Rancher
Valaris
Don't Starve
Thief Simulator
Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide
Hotline Miami 1+2
Inside
The Walking Dead
Fez
Everspace
Flatout 2

Picked up a bunch of old games that I'd always been curious to try but never curious enough to spend more than a few bucks on: Dishonored, Far Cry, and Alan Wake.

Brotato is on Epic Games for free this week, by the way.

Fez is cheap, and so is Steins;Gate and Hades.

I picked up I Am Future, It's only 35% off because it came out of early access recently. Works great on Steam Deck.

IIRC, ME Legendary Edition came out directly on the new EA App working fine, at least on Steam Deck. I didn't complete the trilogy there, but I tested a few hours of the first game like a year ago.

Funnily enough I'm in same situation. Haven't yet played Castlevania DLC for Vampires Survivors and Hall of Torment has plenty of new free content that I haven't played. I can raise you with Deeprock Galactic: Survivor (that also has free content update that I haven't played).

As for other games, there's so much good stuff for cheap. Personally I think I'll wait for winter sale, I don't really need more games. Just bought UFO 50 and that already has 50 games to play...

I would also recommend to anyone who enjoys FPS games, if you don't own F.E.A.R, now is the time. Its only a buck on GOG or two bucks on steam. MUST BUY if a fan of genre.

I'll second the First Encounter Assault Recon recommendation. I never really cared much for cover-based F/TPSes, I tried HALO and it didn't grab me at all, but F.E.A.R. really worked for me. Something about the gunplay reminds me of classics like Unreal Tournament and Quake, even though you're a lot more limited in terms of arsenal.

Another FPS I would recommend people check out would be Hedon Bloodrite, which is currently 25% off on GOG. It's built on a fork of gzdoom (fork's called hzdoom), and it's a real blast. ...although I must admit that I'm not much of an FPS player, so my recommendation should be taken with a grain of salt. Try the demo first, I guess, that's what I did.

I didn't really get into Hedon Bloodrite. It was bit confusing. Though I last played it December 2022 and there have been few updates that look like have been improving things on that side.

I got mass effect legendary, psychonauts 2 (native linux), binding of isaac rebirth (native linux), rome total war 2 and mechwarrior 5 clans. That should keep me busy!

Only game I have bought this far is "Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord" a remake of the classic rpg from 1981.

However, I have my eyes on "Robocop", "Stray", "Drova" and the remake of "Resident Evil 4" as well. Though I feel a bit unsure about the 3 first games and I would like to wait for Denuvo to be removed before buying RE4.

I played through Stray on my LCD Deck, it was playable at 30fps up to 40 in some sections. It's also easy to mod and NexusMods has lots of free custom cat models to download (I liked Espeon)

Robocop is good, though checkpoint system is awful. It could save bit more often, and make it even more clear when that happens. Now I guess best way is to check autosaves timestamp as save doesn't always happen when you think it does. Still, it seems to get tone of the movie about right, which doesn't happen that often.

Stray is sort of platform puzzle exploration experience with some bit frustrating action sequences. Though still, you can take nap and scratch things among other cat like behaviors. There's also some lore you find out if look around. So If you like sci-fi and cats, it's worth trying out.
