Oof my whole wishlist is practically on sale ๐Ÿ˜…

Lucky you. Half my wishlist is games that aren't even out yet.

I shouldn't buy anything because I don't have time for it as it is, but I really want to get stuff ugh, i'm even tempted by the discounted steam deck! And so many new releases in just a few months as well.

Anyway, Chrono Trigger is 50% off, maybe it's time I finally give it a try. P5 is only 40% off so still a pass for me. Maybe finally get onto the DSP hype to tide me over until that factorio expansion finally gets finished. Maybe get a strategy game, I've been torn between Age of Darkness and Diplomacy is not an option. So many choices...

Chrono Trigger is a must-play. Stellar game. I don't know how the PC port fares, though.

The port is alright. Although they did manage to completely screw up the touch controls, which is weird considering the PC version is a port of the mobile version

That shouldn't affect most PC players though, but just in case someone thinks about playing it on a Surface like me.

My biggest worry is that I have trouble focusing on individual games for long lately and Chrono Trigger might be a bit too old fashioned to keep my attention. I keep hearing people gush about the story however, I hope it's not just nostalgia

Honestly I played it for the first time last year and... It's good but I don't understand the hype? The story in 2022 didn't blow my mind. Definitely fun and I still recommend though.

I have Marvel's Avengers in my cart. Debating on spending the $5. I played it a while back during the free weekend. There is a fun game in there but the cosmetics and other monetization practices put me off spending a larger amount of money on it. It looks like since they stopped development they released a lot of those pay-walled skins for free and patched quite a bit. Willing to give it another shot.

[โ€“] Kaldo@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Keep in mind that they stopped development completely and IIRC, it will be delisted from stores by the end of the year. I imagine existing players can continue playing it but it might be limited in some ways and stop working at some point? But for $5 you'll probably get your money's worth by then.

There's a whole bunch of smaller (indie) games in my cart right now. I'll have to check each of them out a bit better and see if they'll run on Linux and probably throw half of them out.

I am curious about Dredge though.
