I picked up Total War: WARHAMMER III and Pennon and Battle, both strategy games. I’m thinking of getting Baldur’s Gate 3 as well. This should keep me busy for a while. My holiday plan is to stay home and game!

And I gifted Freedom Planet 2 to a friend.
The Winter Sale isn’t over until January 2nd, so I might buy some more games before it ends. Problem is, I own most of the games on the Steam front page, so finding new and interesting games is getting difficult.
Fear Effect Sedna
Pain.
I have absolutely no idea what it’s about, but it’s only $2 (90% off) and I’m a sucker for steep deals, so I couldn’t pass it up.
It’s not fear Effect that’s for sure. You’re better off spending the time emulating (since they are hella expensive physical) Fear Effect 1 and 2: Double Helix.
Resident evil camera angle and gameplay but with super spy lesbians
Problem is, I own most of the games on the Steam front page, so finding new and interesting games is getting difficult.
This. I feel totally underwhelmed by the sale this year because everything on the front page I already either own or have no interest in. I know the discovery queue exists, but it primarily tries to feed me the same jank I already know exists.
I got Life is Strange: Double Exposure. It was meh. Not super bad but had enough bugs to push it in that direction.
After that I played The Excavation of Hob’s Barrow which was phenomenal.
Exit the Gungeon (It’s meh) Okami Axiom Verge Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R (That didn’t work for me, refunded) Fight Knight (Might refund, it’s not fun) New Super Lucky’s Tale (2 in 1, remaster and original. Cool)
I misread that as enter the gungeon and got confused. But yeah exit the gungeon is a mobile game so it’s mid to low tier.
I don’t know whether I have the original or remaster, but I personally believe New Super Lucky’s Tale is a pretty fun game.
Caravan Sand Witch
Worshippers of Cthulhu
Firewatch
I picked that up too and the first 5 minutes I was not prepared for.
I played it yesterday for the first time and i was having a mental crisis with those initial choices
I don’t use steam too much, but I did get Minishoot Adventures, and it’s excellent.
It’s like if Zelda was a bullet hell. The base difficulty isn’t too hard, but it’s challenging enough. And you get to explore and do dungeons. It’s really fun.
Thanks for the recommendation! I hadn’t heard of it before but bought it on sale today. Looks pretty good and I appreciate they have options for people who suck at bullet hell games 😆
You’re welcome!
When you die in this game there’s no real penalty other than going back to the last checkpoint. So even if you leveled up or something you keep that, you just might go back a few screens. It’s great!
Oh that sounds right up my alley! Looking forward to this on the Deck
It’ll be perfect on that!
I ended up getting Metal Gear Rising: Revengence, Sonic Adventure 2, Prey, Daemon X Machina, and Dragon Age 2. I have no regrets in my eclectic sale impulses hahaha
Dragon Age 2 is a bit ooof. Excellent combat, but the story and especially the scenery… you revisit the same parts of town and the same dungeon over and over and over.
da 2’s gameplay is not the best for sure, i think even inquistion might have been a bit more fun to play, but in terms of the story, look i may have just been really high, but i have never cried actual tears like that twice, like the end and then the dlc, idk but i really felt connected to my hawke more than any other character except well, my city elf from origins, origins is def the best of the three hands down, but da:kirkwall had an excellent story that i understand why people didn’t like twist there, but it just felt so right for the story i played, i loved it
DA2 has a solid story and very well written companions. I can understand it is too different from the first game for the fans of DA:O. Full disclosure; I didn’t know there was a prior game and DA2 was my entry to the franchise and I love it to pieces.After playing DA:O, it made Hawke’s story even more meaningful to me, since Hawke was one of many refugees who just did everything in their power to keep their family alive and well. We played through seven years of that struggle. It’s a pretty special game to me.
Veilguard marked a new low in every game aspect of a DA game, so I now consider DA2 a masterpiece, considering it was developed in just 2 years. After the empty world of DA:I, I’ve come to realize, I’ll take reused assets with well written stories and characters any day.
DA:I companions were well written mostly, but there were so many of them and I guess I have a bandwidth of how many companions I’ll care about in a game and that’s not many (cue Iron Bull betrayal because I forgot to complete his companion quests)
Divinity 2: Original Sin, because I’m 30hrs into BG3 and it’s really good
I envy you. I’ve got 1400 hours in Bg3. I love the game but i wish i could forget it to play it fresh again.
The beginning of D:OS2 felt like a cheat code to get more BG3 after I’d already finished BG3, but as time went on, I found that everything from RPG systems to pacing of combat/non-combat is leagues better in BG3, to say nothing of the production value that’s obviously better in BG3. Still a good game, but the improvement between each of their RPGs is immense.
I have to say I very much prefer the combat system in OS as it feels much more natural and less restrictive than the DnD combat in BG3. Of course the latter has far more content, but I’m looking forward to Larian’s next game where they can finally go wild again and do things they want exactly the way they want.
I felt far more restricted by D:OS2’s armor system. Freeform classes sound great on paper, but it also means you kind of naturally end up at a spot where you’ve got everything instead of making meaningfully difficult choices in classes or multiclassing. Learning abilities from books leads to a lot of money bottlenecks and leveling decisions that I didn’t care for. The way that the combat usually doesn’t have any chance to hit, but then does very occasionally, makes missing an attack feel like bullshit rather than a calculated risk. I’m also looking forward to whatever they do next, maybe even a sci-fi interstellar RPG, but I hope they don’t go back to the Divinity well too often for RPG mechanics.
money bottlenecks
Laughs in Thievery Skill
D:OS2 is one of the very few games that made me cry with the emotions I had for my characters. I hope you like it, great game.
Spiritfarer: Farewell edition, Celeste and Stardew valley.
Tactical Breach Wizards. It’s a nice little puzzle game with some dry humor that ive actually chuckled too a few times. Its a lot of fun so far.
Highly recommend using cream installer or some other dlc grabber, I think it runs for like $500 if you buy all the dlc.
