Doom (2016), Doom Eternal, Helldivers 2, Broforce

I'm enjoying Railway Empire. It's on for 75% off the base game and pretty good deal for the entire DLC & Japan collections.

If you love time-wasters with some challenges, then I'd recommend it.

Lingo ($6.99/$9.99) is an incredible exploration and word puzzle game. It also has a few excellent custom maps such as Duolingo and Liduongo.

A sequel (Lingo 2 $9.99) just released and is also excellent. It changes how puzzle rules are presented, making them playable in either order. It's a more polished experience though, so playing the first game after would probably feel like a step backward.

Caves of Qud has a small discount. I’ve been playing it a lot lately on the Steam Deck.

[-] anthropozaen@feddit.org 2 points 3 hours ago

Anno 1800 is 5 bucks. I love it, but you need to deal with Uplay as well

[-] ABetterTomorrow@lemm.ee 2 points 3 hours ago

More capitalism, huh? I hope steam is paying you for that free advertising.

This is literally a community for recommencing cheap games to buy...

Borderlands 3, if you somehow missed it, for under £5 is just a good value.

[-] Zahille7@lemmy.world 6 points 6 hours ago

Idk why you got downvoted. Borderlands 3 for $6 is a pretty good deal. And $16 for the complete edition isn't bad either. I already own the full collection on steam so I can't see the price of that, but when I bought it during the last sale I wanna say I spent like maybe $50 on the entire Borderlands series.

There really is a "Lemmy hive mind" starting to form, just like reddit.

[-] Bloodyhog@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago

I don't think there were downvotes, just me myself removing 1 upvote (as I am a shy person). I bought it at full price myself, and have no regrets.

[-] rosahaj 8 points 7 hours ago

my reccomendation? whatever's on gog

in all seriousness, you can't go very wrong with games made by valve, portal especially.

[-] Zahille7@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

I just bought Suicide Squad (I know, I know, but it was on sale and I want to experience it at least a little); Pine; and Sniper Elite 2R, 3 and 4.

I'm very excited to get into the Sniper Elite games. I played 5 back when I had Game Pass, but never finished. I figured the others might be just as good.

[-] ThePancakeExperiment@feddit.org 7 points 9 hours ago

I got myself and can recommend:
Returnal (29.99€) (Rogue-like shooter),
Wisper (6.99€) (Open world exploration) and Crossroads OS (3.74€) (Puzzle game).
I can further recommend:

Studio System (8.84€) (Horror),
With My Past (6.59€) (Puzzle),
Signalis (13.99€) (Horror).

[-] Contemporarium@lemm.ee 1 points 1 hour ago

I fucking loved Returnal on ps5 and it’s a steal for the sale price right now!!

[-] sudneo@lemm.ee 1 points 7 hours ago

I picked up civilization VI (for my PC), hades and outer wilds for my deck.

[-] MortUS@lemmy.world 11 points 15 hours ago

Talos Principle is $5

Talos Principle 2 is $15

Highly recommend both games!

[-] eRac@lemmings.world 2 points 32 minutes ago

Both combined is $15.58. That doesn't include the excellent expansions for either game though.

They are the only portal-likes (chamber-based player movement puzzlers) that I'd place on the same level as the Portal games.

[-] Vespair@lemm.ee 44 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

Celeste is 75% off and is a near-masterpiece of a game.

Portal 1 and Portal 2 are on sale again of course on the chance you haven't yet hit these absolutely classic legendary games.

Persona 4 Golden is 40% off and is awesome, and Persona 5 Royal is 60% and is even more awesome.

Metal: Hellsinger is 70% off and while it isn't a GOTY type game, it's a hell of a lot of fun if you're a contemporary metal music fan.

but my biggest recommendation is probably gonna be

Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale at 80% for only $3.99 (US) which is an completely underrated hidden gem of a game and a huge recommendation for anyone who likes quirky cozy-hybrid games or who, like me, spent way too long on the shopkeeper segments in RPGs like Torneko Taloon's chapter in DQIV.

edit: why in the world would anyone ever downvote a personal recommendation comment? Weird behavior, fam

[-] brognak@lemm.ee 1 points 30 minutes ago

If you like Recettear you should check out Final Profit:

Have you played BPM: Bullets Per Minute? If so, how would you say it compares? I like metal and I like shooting demons, but that one never really grabbed me, I'm not sure why.

[-] Vespair@lemm.ee 2 points 5 hours ago

I haven't ever played BPM, I'm sorry.
