Guys, what did you buy during the Steam autumn sale?
Guys, what did you buy during the Steam autumn sale?
I went ahead and bought a bunch of indie games, picked up Darkchaser, Oxygen Not Included, and UFO50, and also grabbed Cities: Skylines. Got used to the launch prices of some AAA games, buying these discounted low-priced games really doesn't hurt much.
Sorry but I don't see any bikes nor traffic lights on your captcha.

I have too much of a backlog of games i haven't played yet. I did not buy anything. Friendly reminder to play your playlist before buying a new game.
Yeah I got the steam deck in the early spring this year and am still trying to get through Witcher 3 and fallout 4. I have a handful of games I got for PC back 15 years ago on steam that I still need to work on after that
This is truth, although i did pick up Cities:Skylines. I've got to get through all the other Paradox games from the time they had the bundle sale
I haven’t played any game I bought last autumn sale ¯_(ツ)_/¯
🤣
Oh, shit, there's a sale?
https://store.steampowered.com
Hmmm... old games I already own, games I won't bother downloading...
Epic Mickey Rebrushed for $30 isn't bad.
Space Marines II for $47.99 needs a bigger discount...Space Marine II came out only a few months ago, expect a deeper discount mid '25.
I'm really tempted to pick up Psychonauts 2 which is currently 90% off.
Do yourself a favor and do it. It's honestly an actual masterpiece of gaming imo.
I got it full price and it was worth it
Thank you for the heads up, been wanting to play this for quite a while. Absolutely loved the first game.
I'm actually here to just find out where i can get my own demi-dog..?
The blue demi-human vendor in Marbule. Not the guy at the entrance, the one you want is closer to the tavern, in an alleyway. Ignore the dog fighting arenas in the area. You aren't high enough level to take on the entirety of The Mob at one time.
The only thing I care about on the store right now is the factorio dlc, and that's never gonna go on sale. I'll probably buy that once I finish all the achievements for satisfactory.
I can only recommend it. After about 60 hours I finally landed on vulcanus and I'm now experiencing the feeling of how it is to getting used to all of these long and complex Ressource chains.
After 60 hours I finally left Gleba. As soon as I got "home" had to head back to Gleba. Still stuck there. In the beginning I hate Gleba, now I love it. It gave me back the feeling of playing Factorio for the first time, running around and know nothing (and I I have over 3.5k hours). 10/10 would recommend the DLC.
Not on steam, but I bought Haven and The Talos Principle 2 on GoG.
I already played Haven on GamePass a few years ago, but I wanted to own it because it's very good (also to support the developers). As for Talos, I played the original twice and absolutely loved it, so I'm eager to play the sequel.
I played Talos principal 2 this year and it honestly blew me away. It goes without saying the puzzles were intriguing but the story, world building, atmosphere and dialogue are the real stars of the experience.
Psychonauts 2, 90% off.
Oh that's a good deal and I've been waiting years for it to get cheap! Time to finally play it.
Forza Horizon 4 has 80% discount and it will get delisted this December.
All DLCs are now on simple Deluxe and Ultimate edition.
Might as well grab it before gone.
I bought this last time it was on sale, and while the game is fun I have a word of warning for people looking to buy this to play with friends: The online is NOT stable!
It often hangs while connecting to a race and waits for the server upwards of multiple minutes. That's bad since a race itself can be a minute or two long. Also, you can't race against each other with AI cars, the options are either playing co-op which is piss easy or face each other alone. Races are just a bit lonely with 2 or 3 players.
Multiplayer aside, Forza is a really fun time, I just wouldn't buy it if you're mainly looking to play with friends.
Also, if it gets delisted, you will be unable to play single player or multiplayer. I found this out the hard way with Forza Motorsport 7 and Gran Turismo Sport.
I have the physical DVDs or BluRay disks for both games. Neither will work even for single player because you have to download the tracks from the server every single race. No server means no tracks.
That game was great. I might pick it up...
Edit. I'm not sure what the difference is between deluxe and ultimate but for a couple more dollars i got the ultimate. Might as well while it's still available.
Yeah I grabbed that too! Also Mad Max for like $3
They're on no traffic lights, crossing points, or bicycles in that image.
Nothing. Hoarding resources for the apocalypse.
Absolutely nothing, like in the past like 5 years.
Currently (re)playing all Half-Life and Portal games in order they were released.
Nothing, I got more than enough games left to play:
- Xenoblade Chronicles 3 DLC
- Shadow Gambit DLC
- Tactical Breach Wizards
- AI2 Nirvana Initiative
- Unicorn Overlord
- Mario&Luigi Brothership
- Against The Storm
... and actually a bunch more I can't even recall right now...
Man I'm the same. I have a couple hours screen time after work but often I'm tired an just wanna read a book.
I've only just started gaming again after a twenty year gap so I've got a big wishlist. I get excited about games that I want to play, buy them on sale - and then don't have time to play them.
I started gaming when pong and space invaders were cutting edge. There's just so much cool stuff out there these days, damn we're lucky, I just wish I had more playtime!
Deep Rock Galactic Survivor. I like to play casual games after work to de-stress a bit. Mostly tower defense games. Hoping this one will work well
My only word if caution is that the game will start you on Scout, and it feels miserable. You'll unlock Gunner pretty quickly, so it doesn't hurt for too long. The Warthog is completely cracked. If you see it, take it. Have fun, miner!
I bought that Saturday morning at full price. No regerts. In 5 days, I dumped about 30 hours into it.
Found myself doing "tips and tricks" research already, so I think it's safe to say I'll be dumping a lot of time into the game
FF7 Remake. I tried a "demo" and have been waiting for a sale. It's still more than I'd like to spend on the game, but I want to go back and continue my saved game.
Haven't bought yet but I'm thinking of getting Old School Rally. I played a few racing games that looked just like this when I was a child so the visuals are giving me intense nostalgia
This game is fun! It's still early access, but it is worth the regular price. There's a decent amount of courses and the driving physics are fun. If you are talking about the old Colin McCrae games this will be your jam.
I like this game a lot. Played the Colin McRae and Sega Rally games as a kid, this game captures that feeling.
Normally play rally sims in my sim pit, it’s nice to have something very casual to play on Steam Deck
I played this one and wasn't super impressed with it. It's fine but the levels are very simple and don't have that dangerous rally style to them. It felt more like you're just driving on casual dirt roads.
Nothing, I'm from Argentina and now if I buy a game I can't eat for a weak.
Sorry to hear that. Sail the high seas with no worries. You can still contribute to digital preservation of games by seeding. But don't worry if you can't do that.
I hope things get better for you!
Im seeding as no one with my 4tb disk and 30mb of upload 💪
I’m gonna grab slimerancher.
Slime Rancher for $2 is 100% worth it! It's one of those games where gameplay becomes kind of meandering once you've seen the sights and built the things, but it's a very unique experience.
You're not alone, seems like the game has its moment now :)
Grotto!!
$1.29 for an absolute gem of a game. Totally recommend! Works great on my steam deck and ps4 controller
I need to give this gane a second chance
I got Grotto based on your suggestion. Played it a bit yesterday. Interesting game! I've definitely gotten my $1.29 out of it already.
Awesome! Glad you're enjoying it
My power supply on my PC died, so don't have any money for games right now.
Sad trombone noise.
Hades 2.
I got a steam deck last spring, before that I've not done any gaming since I had a PS2 so I've got a good twenty years of games to catch up on. It's a bit frustrating how crap I am at gaming, particularly with shooters. I'm trying some different things to try and figure out what I'm into. I recently finished bioshock, so I just bought bioshock infinite. Also alien isolation, Alan wake, resident evil, and Uncharted legacy of thieves collection. I don't get a lot of screen time but I'll find time to try em out and see what grabs me.
It's a bit frustrating how crap I am at gaming, particularly with shooters.
Since you have a Steam Deck, did you experiment with gyro and trackpad aim? I suck at controller aiming as well but that makes it so much easier.
Hmm no I haven't. Thanks, maybe I should give it a try. I guess trackpad aim is just using the pads instead of the joystick? I've not used gyros at all, does that require tilting the device? Yeah I seem to be enjoying FPS games but I'm frustrated by how shit I am even on easy mode! I used to be good at unreal tournament way back but seems like games have come a long way since then and I've lost the knack.
Deus ex HR
Great game. Hopefully it was the directors cur
FreshWomen
😏
Baldurs Gate 3
i picked up 3 games.
Serious Sam Siberian Mayhem. i liked SS4 a lot and have heard good things about Siberian Mayhem.
Alan Wake American Nightmare. i enjoyed the first Alan Wake game so i'm interested in what AN has to offer.
and Push the Cat with WASD. i played the demo during the summer Next Fest and i was intrigued by it. a nice little brain teaser.
None, I told myself that I have to first play my last paid games at least once before I buy a new one.
If DLCs count, sunk about 100 hours into Factorio Space Age since it's release .
Made sure to only buy some Indies.
As I wanna make sure in the future as well.
While I aint moneybags but more stable than the start od the year.
I wanna make sure I buy one indie game a month when in able to.Tempted to get Hades for $10, but it's a game that makes me angry.
If dying over and over again is what's making you angry, turn on God Mode. The story is amazing. Without God Mode, I would have thrown it on the heap of games started that never hooked me. It was worth setting aside my pride to see a beautiful, intriguing set of stories and relationships unfold.
I kinda wish I had. Maybe I still will... 50 hours in I finally got my first escape and I now find I'm struggling to go back to it because it just keeps getting harder lmao. I just wanna tell Dusa how great she is.
I did turn on God Mode... still suffering. I suppose I've just gotta keep dying until I don't, but I haven't had the energy for that lately.
Probably Persona 5 at 60% off. I liked 4 and 5 has an incredible reputation.
Wasteland 3 is $8. Seems like a great value.P5 is sooo good.
If you like P4, you should be in a good spot. Just note its style is like P4 got struck by lightning when drinking Mountain Dew Code Red.
And then, get P3 Reload when it drops in price. My favorite Persona, given a significant glow up.
Nothing yet
Tactical Breach Wizards
You're in for a treat! I picked it up at launch and loved every second of it. Heat Signature was pretty fun, but the writing and level design in Breach Wizards was just all around top notch.
I will probably buy Horizon Forbidden West for my son. Told him to wait until it is discounted. But 40 € is still very much the full price of many other games. And we already bought all the Christmas presents this year. Decisions decisions.
At least I've still got a few more days to decide.
Project Zombiod and about to buy Portal Knights.
Project Zomboid is bloody fantastic! Have fun!
Whew, gotta be in the mood for a challenge though!
Project Zombiod
Project Zomboid has been in early access for over 10 years. It was released into early access on Nov 8, 2013, and it's STILL not finished!
Cool?
Factorio was in early access for 8 years. What's your point? Indy games take a while to develop because they gain haters and naysayers, like you, logarithmically compared to the funding that they get.
So far, Dyson Sphere Program has been in early access for 4 years, and they have one hell of a game.
I technically own Project Zomboid, I just don't really have any particular projects to complete in that platform, so I'm not exactly what you would call a fan of the game. I can see potential for an absolutely immersive RPG that could compete with Fallout 1 and 2 once the developers have time and funding to complete what they want to do.
Nothing yet, maybe the Vampire Survivors Castlevania DLC. Otherwise probably nothing and wait for the Winter Sale.
It's pretty good!
Im probably only going to get few newer DLCs for American Truck Simulator. Their price finally dropped to -50%
Let me know when they're 75% off. I have have a hard limit of $60 when it comes to spending money on games. It used to be $50 but those days are gone.
Just bought Riven, I'm liking it quite a lot so far. I see why it's a classic. Love the feeling of being dropped into a completely alien world.
Great game! Just be glad you don’t have to swap the cd every 20 clicks. Riven was basically 1 disc per cutscene when it first came out and I remember getting very frustrated as a kid when I accidentally triggered an island switch and knew it’d be 10 minutes until I could get back.
I got, for $40.86:
Need for Speed Unbound, Far Cry 5, Halo Master Chief Collection, Memoriapolis
I loved FC5. Ubisoft gets a lot of crap because they make the same game over and over but there's a reason they started doing that. Good characters, and the pacing is pretty solid unless you're a completions (which is your own fault). There's some weird mechanics that progress the story that kind of break immersion that they chose because of the open world setting, but it's a solid game. Enjoy!
If you like it, "new dawn" is pretty OK. Wait for it to be cheap, it's basically really meaty DLC.
I figured that for $5 I can deal with the Ubisoft stuff
Went for the Hitman WOA deluxe edition. Good discount and was eyeing it for a while.
Tiny Tina's Wonderland, Age of Mythology: Retold, Northgard, and Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order.
I did like Fallen Order. It's not particularly challenging for the most part and it being compared to Dark Souls is overblown, but it definitely "gets" Star Wars.
Yeah, I'm a total Souls junkie. My favorite game ever was Bloodborne. I was on like NG+6 when I stopped playing it. That said, I never expect any game to come anywhere close to a Fromsoft Soulslike. There's a reason they're all called Soulslike, IMO; they can imitate, they can't be a Souls game.
I bought it mainly because all my friends won't stop giving me shit for not playing Fallen Order, and it does look interesting.
I love Oxygen. It’s such a fun game. I can spend hours on just one save
I also got it last sale but I think I had grown out of it and didn't realize it until I was watching the tutorials. Maybe it's one of those games I enjoy watching others play instead? I should've pirated it first before buying as I usually do...
Brotato I guess?
It's free on Epic right now: https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/brotato-ed4097
Thanks
UFO 50, In Other Waters, Planet of Lana, The Last Game, Genome Guardian, La-Mulana 2, Stacklands DLC...And a steam deck. I decided to finally get the deck before we might get tariffs and UFO 50 was my main purchase for handheld play.
Lastly, I really enjoyed Moonring during this sale period but that is available for free. Thought I should give it some cred despite not fitting your prompt.
The langolier has caught much attention. Please share its purpose...
I bought "Inside". Was told it was basically predecessor to Little Nightmares and I'm really loving it so far
Fuck, fam.
I legit dropped $100. I have a Steam Deck now so it's like I can have ANY OF IT.
So far, LOTR Moria, For Honor, Barotrauma, and Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance.
I had Dark Alliance on my OG Xbox when I was younger and I'm really looking forward to playing it again as like an idle game.
I got all the cheap classics I had been playing with an eyepatch and a peg leg years ago. I'm especially excited about Magicka 2 to play with friends. My nephew is gonna love them!
The DLC for Dark Souls 3.
Decided to give it another try after picking it up in 2017 and hating it, and for whatever reason, I like it now.
- Ready or Not
- Six Days in Fallujah
- Tanuki Sunset fuckin banger
- Skyrim again.... Needed the special edition for a newer mods
I'm giving Yakuza: Infinite Wealth a hard look.
It's a great game and you should buy it
Nice! I got the previous entry for free on Playstation, and I really liked it.
Dark souls remastered, sekiro, and cities skylines
I‘m considering getting Sizeable and the collection of all the games the Hook guy has made - so basically a buncha puzzle games. I‘m also looking at Psychonauts 2 and the „new“ NFS cause both are five bucks so I‘m like what the hell why not. And Hotline Miami 2, I‘m in the mood for some senseless violence. To top it off, Streets of Rogue and The Messenger. All of it together would come in at exactly 29.99 for me lol
There‘s other games I want more, but they‘re all still more expensive (or close to) than this whole bundle so it‘s not really worth it IMO considering the amount of games I still got anyway.
Dishonored 2 and Blood: Fresh Supply
Brother got me buckshot roulette if that counts
I impulse-buyed Atlyss. Never heard of it before.
IronPineapple played through the demo of that one for a video a couple months ago. It seemed like an interesting game that was a mix of singleplayer and MMO elements. At first glance it'll look like a gooner game.
I bought a bike helmet.
Oh, you meant on steam? Luckily my rig is still out of commission, so nothing.
Thinking about Sins of a Solar Empire 2. Any opinions?
Did you like the first one? This is just... a little more of that.
- Trombone Champ
- Pizza Tower
- Sekiro
I wanted to buy Age of Empires 2 but it seems it is not on sale :(
I picked up Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered, I think that's really all I'm going to pickup honestly. Already have a fair bit in my backlog, and there's nothing else in my wishlist that makes me go "I want to play that right now" that can't just wait for another sale.
Nothing yet. Currently having Slime Rancher and Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood in my cart. Wondering if buying games right now is even worth it with PoE2 coming next friday lol
Anybody got an opinion on which is the best Far Cry game aside from the first three?
5 has a amazing weapons modifications system
new dawn is absolutely amazing, but it is very much "qualität statt quantität", meaning: very good game, but also a small game.
Ich hab auch Qualität statt Quantität verstanden =P danke!
5
Mainly Banishers Ghosts of New Eden. I don't have much money at the moment due to almost 4 months of unemployment, just got a new job and with my first paycheck from 4 days of work I got that, plus the new humble bundle, a couple coloring packs cause I like the pixel coloring books, and a couple games that were $2-3 each: a zelda clone called Blossom Tales, The Snow Fable: Mystery of the Flame (I also like hidden object adventure games), a lovecraftian 2d platformer called The Last Case of Benedict Fox, and adventure game version of Sherlock Holmes: Hound of the Baskervilles and a Wipeout clone called Flashout 3.
Finally got Witcher 3 on my PC so I can play that again.
Me and the (long distance) gf bought It Takes Two
Kingdom Come: Deliverance
Death's Door, cute souls like
Spider-Man: Miles Morales
And God of War Ragnarok wasn't on sale but I was waiting to see if it would be, so I technically bought it during the autumn sale
None, because I bought everything on the store I wanted in the last 50 seasonal sales. 😫
I really wanted to try Starfield but can't justify the price. Like I want to buy it, but I also don't have that kind of money to spend. Might start asking around my local friends to see if any of them have it so I can library share with them
I had access to it with GamePass when it launched (I'm full Linux now so I've canceled that). I still pirated it because you can't mod games distributed by Windows unless the specifically allow it. I'm saying this to say, there are alternative means to try it available if you want, but also I regret the time I wasted on it. It wasn't worth the time spent not even spending money on it specifically, and I love previous Bethesda games and the sci-fi genre.
Any games you recommend playing? I'm very bored lately
