Looks like Pizza Tower is on a discount, definitely scooping that up.
How are Lunacid and Dread Delusion? The vibes look amazing but I haven’t seen much buzz.
Oxygen Not Included is 66% off. This game ruined all other colony sim/management games for me, and is by far my top-played game on Steam. This is probably the best review to give potential players an idea if this game is right for them. It’s still being actively developed, and there’s even a new DLC being tested on the beta branch right now.
Cassette Beasts is 40% off. If you’ve ever been into Pokemon, but felt like their games were getting stale, this is worth checking out. Also, the creators seem like comrades; the “Team Rocket” stand-ins are literally real estate agents, and at one point a bearded NPC named “Karl” makes a cameo.
Celeste is 90% off, in case anyone hasn’t played that yet.
I’m not one for platformers, more of a tac shooter/city builder guy, but Celeste is honestly one of my favourite games. Even if platforming isn’t for you, the story was great. It isn’t overly long either.
I’m a bit torn on the story actually. I’m easily cringed, and some of the dialogue made me cringe. I also think the story takes a very individualistic approach to mental health. You need to overcome stuff yourself and so on (yeah there’s Theo but he’s just a barely relevant acquaintance). It fits well with the gameplay, but it’s a terrible message.
The gameplay is fucking great though.
Everything looks just fine on 1337 and gogunlocked.
Endless 100% off sale on cs.rin.ru and thepiratebay.org too
Games I have played and recommend:
Inscryption (-60%, $8) is fun if you are looking for an easier Slay the Spire (roguelite deck builder) with escape-room-style meta-puzzles
Doom Eternal (-75%, $10) blazes a new trail for the stale FPS genre and is a great game to use to learn flickstick
Into the Breach (-50%, $7.50) I LOVE this game but also find it really really stressful because you have to play perfectly in order to have a chance against the final boss. Every turn is basically like solving one of those chess puzzles.
Games I’ll be picking up:
CrossCode (-70%, $6) is some kind of hexbear favorite but I’ve never played it
Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus (-85%, $6) - I really loved the first one as a modernized Half-Life 2, although have heard this one is not quite as good
Sonic Mania (-75%, $5) - this is apparently a retro-styled sonic game made in the modern era; I’ve never played a sonic game before but loved Pizza Tower, so looking forward to this
CrossCode was, I think, in one of the big itch.io bundles. Double-check. You may already own it.
Note that the CrossCode DLC A New Home on itch io did not come with the bundle and is not on sale and if you want it it would probably be cheaper to just re-buy the game and DLC on steam.
