OmegaMouse ( @OmegaMouse@feddit.uk ) English25•1 year agoTo be honest I have plenty of games in my backlog to play. Buuuut if there are any really good deals on Tunic, Pizza Tower, Tetris Effect or Cult of the Lamb I maybe consider them.
I should probably reduce my backlog first though…
shadow01 ( @shadow01@lemmy.legally-berlin.de ) English7•1 year agoGot cult of the lamb in the last sale. Was really fun and ran well. A bit repetitive with managing the cult in my opinion. But there is an option to stop time while you are on crusade (and cooking without minigane. With that it was worth it :)
OmegaMouse ( @OmegaMouse@feddit.uk ) English2•1 year agoI heard there was a big update a couple of months ago - did that change much?
shadow01 ( @shadow01@lemmy.legally-berlin.de ) English2•1 year agoI only played after the upgrade. AFAIK added post game content and the time stop option.
Xeelee ( @Xeelee@kbin.social ) 5•1 year agoWait what? You have to play your games first before you can buy more? Well, fuck.
OmegaMouse ( @OmegaMouse@feddit.uk ) 3•1 year agoI wish - If that was the case I wouldn’t be in this situation :'( My will power is not strong
Hondolor ( @Hondolor@kbin.social ) 4•1 year agoWe all do xD, and yet we will still buy more games because steam summer sale!
Flaky ( @Flaky@iusearchlinux.fyi ) English3•1 year agoSame. I’m playing Watch Dogs Legion right now, gonna finish the main story before I choose another game.
OmegaMouse ( @OmegaMouse@feddit.uk ) English3•1 year agoI’ve never tried the Watch Dogs games - what do you think of Legion?
Flaky ( @Flaky@iusearchlinux.fyi ) English2•1 year agoI’d say get WD2 over Legion. It’s the best one out of the three.
While Legion has some interesting mechanics, it kinda feels half-baked. Didn’t grip me as well as WD2 did. Unless you want a snarky British digital assistant talking to you (and I mean that endearingly), then absolutely get Legion.
OmegaMouse ( @OmegaMouse@feddit.uk ) English1•1 year agoThanks! Have you tried WD2 on Steam Deck? I’ve just had a look at the ProtonDB page and there seem to be some issues (crashing due to a memory leak?)
Flaky ( @Flaky@iusearchlinux.fyi ) English2•1 year agoNot unfortunately! I have it directly from UbiSoft and I haven’t got that properly set up yet.
Fylkir ( @Fylkir@lemmy.sdf.org ) English1•1 year agoAs someone who doesn’t play a lot of AAA games, it’s legitimately gripping. Enough that I bought it on both PS5 and PC/Deck. Granted it was on sale both times.
fades ( @fades@beehaw.org ) 1•1 year agoHow do you choose games to play? I got the deck with the sale so I’ve no idea how it plays.
Heard nothing but good things but what games are viable? That sort of thing
Metatron ( @Metatron@beehaw.org ) 2•1 year agoDeck verified games are tagged in the Steam store best place to start. Protondb also lists compatible games.
static ( @static@midwest.social ) 21•1 year agoHoping for a sale on Tunic. I picked it up on my Switch but honestly have been far happier with Deck performance of games I have on both platforms that I’d rather go through it on the Deck
Alacran ( @glasslyrata@mander.xyz ) 4•1 year agoTunic is also on my wishlist. Crossing fingers!
static ( @static@midwest.social ) 1•1 year agohttps://store.steampowered.com/app/553420/TUNIC/ looks like our wish was granted :D
mustyOrange ( @mustyOrange@beehaw.org ) 1•1 year agoMan Tunic was such a good game
nameless_prole ( @nameless_prole@kbin.social ) 0•1 year agoYeah, Tunic on Switch is rough…
static ( @static@midwest.social ) 2•1 year agoI was also shocked how much worse dead cells performed on the switch, kinda made me decide to stick with pc/deck for non exclusives now
OmegaMouse ( @OmegaMouse@feddit.uk ) 2•1 year agoInterestingly I first played Dead Cells on switch and it seemed to run well, but that was a few years back at this point. Did an update tank performance or something?
static ( @static@midwest.social ) 1•1 year agoI noticed lots more “stutters” at random times than I ever saw on PC / Steam Deck. I moved it to onboard storage and that helped some but still played better on the Deck
Dandroid ( @dandroid@dandroid.app ) 1•1 year agoThat’s honestly pretty impressive considering how minimalist the art style is. I played in on Steam Deck and it played flawlessly. Highly recommended.
Ruapho ( @ruapho@discuss.tchncs.de ) 16•1 year agoStray!
Cloudless ☼ ( @cloudless@feddit.uk ) 4•1 year agoYeah I want to play as a cat but Stray is too little content for its full price.
Elkan Nixed ( @ElkanNixed@programming.dev ) 13•1 year agoOh darn. Since I have a Steam Deck I’ve been wishlisting games like a mad man. It’s going to hard to not buy new games. One of the reasons I got a Deck is that I want to clear out by backlog.
MartianFox ( @MartianFox@feddit.de ) 6•1 year agoI am actually exactly the same 😂 Wishlist is exploding since getting the Deck, sadly time to game is not.
OmegaMouse ( @OmegaMouse@feddit.uk ) 4•1 year agoThe endless cycle…
Fylkir ( @Fylkir@lemmy.sdf.org ) 1•1 year agoCheck out Isthereanydeal. Tells you other stores that sell a game as well. You can import your wishlist.
TheSaneWriter ( @thesanewriter@vlemmy.net ) 10•1 year agoI’ll be honest, I own so many games from the last sale that I’m probably going to sit this one out. I have something like 140 games, and of those the majority are on my backlog, so I won’t be running out any time soon.
b00m ( @b00m@kbin.social ) 10•1 year agoI’ll say it… Last Of Us
According to protondb, it runs much better now. However, isn’t it a bit early to be part of the sale?
plexnose ( @plexnose@geddit.social ) 3•1 year agoThey might put it at 20% off maybe
sake ( @sake@sopuli.xyz ) 7•1 year agoI’ll buy the Dock if it’s on sale. I might actually buy it anyways but might as well wait one day to see if I can save a few bucks.
I’ve put off buying it since honestly it feels a bit overpriced since you can get a hub that does pretty much the same job for 20€.
Elkan Nixed ( @ElkanNixed@programming.dev ) English3•1 year agoLooks like it’s on sale… 20% off. I’m in doubt, not sure if I’m going to use it as much as I think.
sake ( @sake@sopuli.xyz ) English2•1 year agoAlright that’s decent enough price. While you can get 3rd party Dock pretty cheap, counting in shipping and the power adapter, it rounds up to 70€ for me. For 10€ more I can get first party support, that’s actually competitive value.
I bought a 3rd party “Deck Dock” that works perfectly fine for 30€ or so.
Fylkir ( @Fylkir@lemmy.sdf.org ) 2•1 year agoI got a $20 Hub and wouldn’t recommend it. For whatever reason the USB parts didn’t work.
Fubarberry ( @Fubarberry@lemmy.fmhy.ml ) 7•1 year agoProbably can’t expect much of a sale since it’s still in early access, but Shadows of Doubt has captured my attention like few other games and I’m really looking for an excuse to pick it up.
mabd ( @mabd@kbin.social ) 2•1 year agoThere’s nothing else like it, even in its current early access state. Can’t wait to see where they go with it.
JCreazy ( @JCreazy@midwest.social ) 7•1 year agoI’ve heard Prey is good so I’m hoping that goes on sale.
HiT3k ( @HiT3k@beehaw.org ) 10•1 year ago@JCreazy@midwest.social @chri1stian@lemmy.ml Prey is free on GOG via Prime, if you want to give it a shot on Windows or get GOG running on Deck.
JCreazy ( @JCreazy@midwest.social ) 1•1 year agoExcellent, thanks for the tip, I’ll see if I can get it on GOG
fool5cap ( @fool5cap@beehaw.org ) English5•1 year agoIt was being given away on Amazon Prime Gaming recently, not sure if it still is. Redeemed as a GOG code.
chri1stian ( @chri1stian@lemmy.ml ) 4•1 year agoI haven’t heard much about that one. What excited you about it?
Coeus ( @Coeus@coeus.sbs ) 4•1 year agoIt’s sci Fi and it looks cool I guess.
HiT3k ( @HiT3k@beehaw.org ) 2•1 year agoIt’s an immersive sim by Arkane, the imsim developer, in the vein of System Shock and Deus Ex. I prefer it over Dishonored for its more genre typical sci-fi setting (one of the best space stations I’ve explored in gaming) and deeper systems. Think Bioshock meets Alien.
Chungus ( @chungus@thechurchofmemes.com ) English2•1 year agoPrey is amazing! One of my favorite games.
Dandroid ( @dandroid@dandroid.app ) 1•1 year agoI haven’t played it on the Steam Deck, so I can speak to its performance, but I really enjoyed this game. It’s a whole lot of fun of you like mysterious, creepy games with some jump scares. I’d say its closest comparable is BioShock 1 & 2.
JCreazy ( @JCreazy@midwest.social ) 1•1 year agoOddly enough, I’ve only played Bioshock Infinite.
Dandroid ( @dandroid@dandroid.app ) 1•1 year agoInfinite is a very different type of game than 1 & 2. I absolutely loved all 3 (1 and 3 more than 2 tbh). But if you really liked 1&2, you may not like infinite, and vice versa. 1&2 are dark and suspenseful. Infinite is well-lit and they stopped doing most of the jump scares. But the gameplay felt amazing and the story was a 10/10.
AZmaybe9 ( @Dragonmind@lemm.ee ) 7•1 year agoAll about indies at this point for me! I found these after slashing my wishlist in half!
. Rusted Moss . Roboquest . Protodroid DeLTA
mad_psymon ( @mad_psymon@discuss.tchncs.de ) 5•1 year agoDark Souls 3. I’ve been waiting for a year for From Software games to get a discount again
mad_psymon ( @mad_psymon@discuss.tchncs.de ) 1•1 year ago50% Discount at Humble Store 😍
xpsking ( @xpsking@midwest.social ) 5•1 year agoAlready grabbed uncharted. Played last of us (not on deck on my pc running nobara) so am excited for another naughty dog title
picnic ( @picnic@kbin.social ) 2•1 year agoHow’s uncharted on deck?
bob ( @bob@lemmy.havocperil.uk ) 1•1 year agoruns great on Deck, really enjoyed it.
Juanjo Salvador ( @jsalvador@programming.dev ) 4•1 year agoI’ve got several games on my wishlist, but I don’t know how many of them are available with full support on SteamDeck 🤔
Anyway, God of War could be the only one I would buy this season.
plexnose ( @plexnose@geddit.social ) 4•1 year agoI bought it and runs and looks great - only thing is, I got bored about 1/3 of the way in - its very repetitive.
wagesof ( @wagesof@links.wageoffsite.com ) 4•1 year agoEven if it doesn’t say it has support if it has controller support and doesn’t require anticheat you’ve got a great chance that it will be fine.
Viva la return policy!
xoniq ( @xoniq@sopuli.xyz ) 4•1 year agoGonna be a though sale for my wallet. In the coming week I’m hospitalized 😂 so I need a few games to burn.
maiskanzler ( @maiskanzler@feddit.de ) 2•1 year agoWon’t be on sale, but if you like city builders or similar stuff, try Factorio! It looks a bit weird and anachronistic at first but BOY is that ever an addictive game! I already spent over 50 hours in it since I bought it several weeks ago. For comparison: I have about 200 hours in Cities: Skylines, one of my absolute favourite games ever!
Kebab ( @Kebab@beehaw.org ) 1•1 year agoget good fast :)
Flaky ( @Flaky@iusearchlinux.fyi ) 4•1 year agoHi-Fi Rush, BallisticNG, Klonoa, TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge, PowerWash Sim, Symphony, Invector: Rhythm Galaxy. Maybe Marble It Up too.
The rest are games that work better on PC (e.g. supports steering wheels, requires a beefy PC).
