A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

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.

my reccomendation? whatever's on gog

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

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

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

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 1 points 7 minutes 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.

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).

The Mafia Trilogy is $15 for the whole shebang, or $7.50 for any one of the individual games. I grabbed Mafia 3.

[–] MortUS@lemmy.world 9 points 9 hours ago

Talos Principle is $5

Talos Principle 2 is $15

Highly recommend both games!

That's...weird. When I checked the price yesterday Fallen Order was 18.99? Did they do a deeper discount?

[–] spicystraw@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

Double checked receipt, and I did indeed get it for that price

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

You sure you didn't get the price for Survivor?

[–] Bosht@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Yeah this is probably it. Getting my titles mixed up or something.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 3 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

Maybe? I see it at $3.99, $4.99 is for the deluxe version. I don't see it at $18.99 on Is There Any Deal, but who knows!

[–] Vespair@lemm.ee 28 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (1 children)

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

Recettear

This game rocks. 'Nuff said.

[–] Atomic@sh.itjust.works 13 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Mass Effect legendary edition (all 3 games + all DLCs) is on for 6 Euro.

That's a great deal IMO

We picked up Journey and Star Traders Frontier. I've wanted to play Journey since it came out but I didn't have the proper console. Well, I forgot I put it on the wishlist, and that's a real good price so.

I've (sung? musically yelled at?) another person already.

I like this indie game critic, he has a recommendation video for sale
