Another year coming to a close and so the Steam Autumn Sale is live again until December 4. Time to find where your wallet is hiding.
I'm not saying you have to buy anything though. Like me, many of you probably have a few hundred games gathering dust, waiting for that rainy day where you keep promising you'll play with them right? But, a few more couldn't hurt. Some of the deals sure do look delicious.

Quoting: NezchanProbably going to hold off until tomorrow before I get anything, the client's sluggish as hell right now.
But I'm thinking Arcanum, which is at a temptingly low price of less than CDN $2, and maybe Psychroma, which looks intriguing.
I see Northard, which I was interested in a while ago, is super cheap but I'm also seeing a lot of recent bad reviews, concentrating on bugs and the devs focusing on multiplayer and making paid tribes instead. Lots of people saying that's wrecking the balance. I'm interested in a single player experience, so it's not looking good.
I played Northgard two years ago (single player), it's really fun. The campaign is not very long, but the "conquest" game mode has a lot of replay value. There are a good number of clans in the base game already that would let you play conquests for a long time. I did end up buying 2 or 3 extra clans on discount, just to get more conquests out of them!
Don't what exactly might have happened these days, but the complaints of "devs make paid clans" and "balance" had been there back then too, didn't stop me from sinking many hours in the game.
Quoting: CloversheenThat's a pretty cute backdrop! But isn't it a bit late to call it "autumn" in late November?Spacing of steam sales is a bit weird this year there are two weeks between autumn and winter sales, then 2 month to spring sales, 3 more to summer sales and 6 to autumn sales.
@Liam Winter start in the UK before December ? I thought everyone in the northern hemisphere was starting winter the 21th December (where winter is applicable).
Quoting: StellaDo you think God of War is worth the 19.99 asking price?
For me it was 20h (to 40h max of people around me) of fun. Few quest and very linear but with a true and good-written story (even predictable and if you know a bit of mythology, with limited surprises except you are on the unusual Loki's side) and a beautiful and amazing artistic design and direction that is memorable.
I bought it 20€, and still found it a bit expensive compared to more "replayable" and longer games. I had the same feeling with Robocop: rogue city for similar price and Elden ring for far higher price.
In my opinion, that's not a Skyrim in which you have a lot of stuffs and exploration to do and for which you can easily relaunch a game one year latter. I don't think I will relaunch a game for God of war. The witcher3 has more well-written stories and far more many and different quests and deep-stories. God of war gameplay is well balanced and you has the feel of being a god for sure (but at the end a bit repetitive). No postman quest but quite linear quests (2 or 3 max in parallel, not more).
Quoting: amatai@Liam Winter start in the UK before December ? I thought everyone in the northern hemisphere was starting winter the 21th December (where winter is applicable).Half of winter has already gone by then. Midwinter festivals (such as Christmas) are to celebrate passing the midpoint of winter, when days steadily start to become longer again.

There's not many cases where I would recommend to switch from native to Proton, but this is one of them.

AFAIK, there's "meteorological winter", starting with Decembre 1.st, and astrological (calendar(ical)?) winter, starting late in Decembre at winter solstice. First one makes more sense to me...
