I was looking at getting some roguelikes / lites (already have ToME, CoQ), unfortunately Cataclysm DDA is not on sale.

Krone Hotel at 90% off looks like a decent choice too. Then there’s Jupiter Hell, which I recently stumbled upon and looks great too.

I’d also like to get some of the FF games, though I’ve played VI, VII, IX and a bit of XII, it would be nice to revisit some of the older ones I haven’t played almost since the PSX era.

    You know that Cataclysm DDA is Free software, right ?

    Just open the terminal and execute

    sudo pacman -S cataclysm-dda

    I finally picked up Graveyard Keeper and all the DLC. Really fun game and plays great on the Steam Deck.

    I think I’m going to pick up control.

    I’ve been toying with the idea for a while now and 75% off is really hard to argue against.

      I’m an Alan Wake fan and Control hooked me right away, especially with their Alan Wake references. If you’re gonna like it, I definitely recommend playing Alan Wake after Control.

    @Cmar@lemmy.world If you buy the oldest FFs, 1-3, keep in mind that the versions on Steam have massive changes to game mechanics to make the games easier and more like FF7. I don’t think it does FF1 any favors because the difficulty was a lot of what the game had going for it on replays, but if you just want to say you beat FF1 the Steam version does the job.

    I’m thinking of picking up SaGa Frontier myself. Does it seem worth $15 to people?

    Necesse. It’s like top-down Terraria with colonists that organize your chests for you. Great early game content, anyway.

        Not the guy you responded to, but I have experience with the game and stream deck.

        The controller works fine, although I can’t help but think some buttons for actions are incorrect. Like cancel on one menu is one button, but a different button elsewhere. I believe controller support was somewhat recently added though so maybe it’s just not fully baked.

        I suppose I could contact the author and let them know my feedback.

    It is unlikely that Cataclysm ever goes on sale, because the steam release basically is just a donation. You can get the game for free on the official website: https://cataclysmdda.org

    There you can also donate other amounts than the Steam price.

    I’ve reached a weird sort of critical mass where steam sales no longer provide me with dopamine

          I just bought that too. I’m only afraid to play it because I know I’ll never be able to stop.

            Luckily there is an actual end-game, about 100 hours in! Basically when there’s nothing left to exploit haha.

            I’m waiting for the combat update before I play a new round.

    I really want to get Systen Shock remake, and maybe even the Final Fantasy* arpg, stranger something something.

    I also ran across these two indies, Fear and Hunger 1&2 that look very interesting and are very affordable.
