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 :)
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
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'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.
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.
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.
However, since BattleBit is not competitive as CSGO or R6 etc, the restrictions become overkill for the majority of our player base, because of this, we are still investigating something in between EAC and FACEIT Anti Cheat in terms of requirements.
Alright that's decent enough price. While you can get 3rd party Dock pretty cheap, counting in shipping and the power adapter, it rounds up to 70€ for me. For 10€ more I can get first party support, that's actually competitive value.
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.
It's an awesome sci-fi horror FPS/RPG, with stealth and metroidvania elements. It's from Arkane, who made both Dishonored games.
The story and atmosphere are really good (don't look up spoilers if you intend to play it), there are multiple ways of reaching your objectives, and multiple endings according to your choices. The graphics and design are really nice.
Not a big fan of horror games in general but it's one of my favorite games of the last decade.
I haven't played it on the Steam Deck, so I can speak to its performance, but I really enjoyed this game. It's a whole lot of fun of you like mysterious, creepy games with some jump scares. I'd say its closest comparable is BioShock 1 & 2.
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.
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.
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.
I love these games, but be careful - playing shenzenio on deck sounds awful because it has a lot of typing. Exopunk too. Infinifsctory and spacechem would be good though.
Won't be on sale, but if you like city builders or similar stuff, try Factorio! It looks a bit weird and anachronistic at first but BOY is that ever an addictive game!
I already spent over 50 hours in it since I bought it several weeks ago. For comparison: I have about 200 hours in Cities: Skylines, one of my absolute favourite games ever!
Nothing probably. I have WAY too many games already. I had to force myself to cut down on just buying new ones instead of playing the ones I already have. I might treat myself to Baldur's Gate 3 in August tho.
I enjoyed Brotato on the deck, it’s a very good pick up and play title that works well with the deck. Vampire survivor is also good, but it has performance issues on the deck by the late game.
Final Fantasy X worked great on deck, so if it’s on sale and you like JRPGs I’d recommend it
In my cart so far: Downwell DoDonPachi Resurrection
These two are mainly for my vertical arcade cabinet, which is occasionally powered by the steam deck. I should probably check if there are new pinball sales as well.
Dead Cells
Had this on Switch and I need to have it on SD.
Marvel's Midnight Suns
This is now -60% and I've been waiting for a sale. I didn't expect the price to drop this much for a such a new game, but I'm not complaining 😁 If the reviews are correct this a great game for turn based stategy buffs like me. And its by the same people that made the XCOM games. Can't wait to play this.
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.
