Rules:
To be honest I have plenty of games in my backlog to play. Buuuut if there are any really good deals on Tunic, Pizza Tower, Tetris Effect or Cult of the Lamb I maybe consider them.
I should probably reduce my backlog first though...
Got cult of the lamb in the last sale. Was really fun and ran well. A bit repetitive with managing the cult in my opinion. But there is an option to stop time while you are on crusade (and cooking without minigane. With that it was worth it :)
Pizza Tower looks like an absolute blast. Definitely picking it up on sale if I can.
We all do xD, and yet we will still buy more games because steam summer sale!
Hoping for a sale on Tunic. I picked it up on my Switch but honestly have been far happier with Deck performance of games I have on both platforms that I'd rather go through it on the Deck
Stray!
Yeah I want to play as a cat but Stray is too little content for its full price.
Oh darn. Since I have a Steam Deck I've been wishlisting games like a mad man. It's going to hard to not buy new games. One of the reasons I got a Deck is that I want to clear out by backlog.
I am actually exactly the same 😂 Wishlist is exploding since getting the Deck, sadly time to game is not.
The endless cycle...
Depends what's on sale - but I'll buy Baldur's Gate 3 soon or at release, maybe Starfield too depending on performance.
I'd really love a game that's playable on the Steam Deck on the TV though, Rocket League and SpeedRunners has been great for this. Even moreso if it has local multiplayer.
BattleBit Remastered has been really fun with M+KB recently (and they backed down on the anti-Linux anticheat for now), I wish there were something similar for sports games just focussing on fun over realism, like the old SNES football and hockey games. Something like Mario Strikers but where you manage a team and their stats and abilities, etc.
There's also Old Time Hockey. Looks like a lot of fun, although I've never tried it
Ou!! thanks for this.
There is a hockey game "tape to tape" pins itself as a rouguelite, with 4 player local co-op. Still in early access but seems interesting.
You might enjoy the Super Mega Baseball series. Worth a look, anyway.
I'll be honest, I own so many games from the last sale that I'm probably going to sit this one out. I have something like 140 games, and of those the majority are on my backlog, so I won't be running out any time soon.
Dredge is on my list and seems perfect for the Deck
I am playing it right now! It was at 20% sale a few days ago. Don't know if it'll get even more discounted later.
It is nearly perfect for the deck. I only have a small grievance with moving things in the inventory. It takes a long while to step through the slots. But maybe I'm doing something wrong.
It is! Can recommend.
I'll say it.. Last Of Us
According to protondb, it runs much better now. However, isn't it a bit early to be part of the sale?
I'll buy the Dock if it's on sale. I might actually buy it anyways but might as well wait one day to see if I can save a few bucks.
I've put off buying it since honestly it feels a bit overpriced since you can get a hub that does pretty much the same job for 20€.
I bought a 3rd party "Deck Dock" that works perfectly fine for 30€ or so.
If Celeste goes on sale I'm gonna grab it again. Already bought it twice for switch and epic but will happily give them more money for a steam specific copy.
Amazing platformer
I've heard Prey is good so I'm hoping that goes on sale.
@[email protected] @[email protected] Prey is free on GOG via Prime, if you want to give it a shot on Windows or get GOG running on Deck.
It was being given away on Amazon Prime Gaming recently, not sure if it still is. Redeemed as a GOG code.
I haven't heard much about that one. What excited you about it?
It's sci Fi and it looks cool I guess.
All about indies at this point for me! I found these after slashing my wishlist in half!
. Rusted Moss . Roboquest . Protodroid DeLTA
my wallet will implode
Probably can't expect much of a sale since it's still in early access, but Shadows of Doubt has captured my attention like few other games and I'm really looking for an excuse to pick it up.
Already grabbed uncharted. Played last of us (not on deck on my pc running nobara) so am excited for another naughty dog title
Dark Souls 3. I've been waiting for a year for From Software games to get a discount again
Elden Ring
God of War
Hoping either one gets a good discount because I have a lot of train rides coming up.
I've got 621 games in my Steam library. With Epic, PlayStation, GOG, Amazon, and Origin it's over 1000 games. So it's been fairly easy to ignore Steam sales for a while now. That said, for the past year I've found myself looking at my wishlist thinking, "What can I buy that would be a good fit for playing on the SteamDeck?" My resistance hasn't been as strong as it was.
Going to buy Hunt: Showdown with my friend. We're burned out from PUBG and want to broaden our game choices.
My wallet has already burned through enough. The last thing I needed was a Steam Summer Sale to start.
I've got several games on my wishlist, but I don't know how many of them are available with full support on SteamDeck 🤔
Anyway, God of War could be the only one I would buy this season.
Even if it doesn't say it has support if it has controller support and doesn't require anticheat you've got a great chance that it will be fine.
Viva la return policy!
I bought it and runs and looks great - only thing is, I got bored about 1/3 of the way in - its very repetitive.
Gonna be a though sale for my wallet. In the coming week I’m hospitalized 😂 so I need a few games to burn.
I'm hoping some of the Zacktronics games go on sale. I wasn't able to play any of these before I got my deck last year and I've got some catching up to do.
Hi-Fi Rush, BallisticNG, Klonoa, TMNT: Shredder's Revenge, PowerWash Sim, Symphony, Invector: Rhythm Galaxy. Maybe Marble It Up too.
The rest are games that work better on PC (e.g. supports steering wheels, requires a beefy PC).
I don't have any particular games in mind, but I'm sure I'll pick up a few things. I've really been enjoying casual games lately - I just beat Defense Grid 1 and 2, and Monster Train, so I'm looking for something along those lines.
I'm really hoping for decent sales on God of War or Kena: Bridge of Spirits.
