None. Sales have gotten progressively worse, and I’m mostly happy going through my backlog and also playing the same rotation of games I really enjoy but with new mods.
I will be buying Dyson Sphere Project as a gift for a friend, though, because it just got a big update recently.
Honestly seems like the sale discounts are still solid, but too many games are still at full price years after release. A 50-75% sale is a lot more respectable if you’re not still charging $60 for a 4 year old game.
Yeah exactly. I remember always being able to pick up one or two very good games for $5-10, now it seems like there’s not much good below $20-30. Maybe that’s just me already owning all the good cheap indy games, or maybe it’s just inflation, but I also think publishers have gotten more and more stingy with the sales.

I won’t advise anyone to buy this if it’s directly for the Steam Deck as it’s not supported and I experienced audio issues. I don’t regret buying it though.
With that said, this game is gorgeous. Several times I couldn’t believe it was running on a handheld. I just mean that it still blows my mind that we’ve gone from Game and Watch to the steam deck.
I picked up:
- Mass Effect Legendary Edition
- Void Stranger
- Hyper Demon
- Hogwarts Legacy - from Fanatical
I’m at a large backlog and don’t really “need” any games right now. There’s games I’ve had on my backlog for over a decade. Putting my steam deck to use.
That’s a perfectly reasonable stance, and fully applies to me as well.
Unfortunately that didn’t stop me from buying more games that I’ll struggle to find time to play.
What games on your backlog are you excited about getting to/have been enjoying playing? I mean honestly I am more interested in that then what new games people buy lol
I am now almost done with Shadow Warrior (it’s been a fun game). I also just finished the binding of isaac (well mostly beat. You gotta “beat” it like 30 times to unlock everything) and it was pretty awesome. Oh, and the tomb raider remake was great.
Next I think ima do Assassin’s Creed IV, Black Flag.
Also, amazingly, I’ve been putting off GTA V, even though I’ve owned it for years and had been playing those since gta 1 came out back in like 1996.
Then I have a survival game called “The Long Dark” that looks pretty cool.
Oh, and Batman Arkam City. The first one was great, so I’ve been looking forward to this one.
And Psychonauts, Lego Lord of the Rings, Just Cause, Red Dead Redemption 2, I have two other Assassin’s Creed games if I really like Black Flag, Beyond Good and Evil, southpark and the stick of truth…probably a few others I’ve forgotten about. Those are all towards the top of my list. Then theres always time to cram in more Stardew Valley.
I got Necesse. Plays well on the deck and a good way to pass the time.
