    I bought Tunic and Crosscode.

    I jumped straight into Tunic, and am having a great time. I recently finished Outer Wilds and was wanting another knowledge based progression game.

      Enjoy, both OW and Tunic are up there in my favourite games. Return of the Obra Dinn is another good one, if you didn’t play it already.

      Chasing after that same high, I bought the newest versions of Myst and Riven, never played the originals. Quite stumped in the first level of Myst. I feel like I may enjoy Riven more, but gonna try and stick with Myst first.

        Return of the Obra Dinn is on my list, but I haven’t played it yet. I did play through Forgotten City earlier this year, and it was really good.

        That’s what people keep telling me. It’s been $6 on GoG for months now, but I really wanted it in steam instead. And thankfully, it finally went on sale for $6 on Steam as well.

        I did, but I haven’t actually watched it yet. I’ve been wanting to buy tunic/ow for years now.

    I bought two games:

    • The farmer was replaced - a simple Idle game, where you need to use a Python like code to automate a farming drone with farming hat that is doing the farming for you and the complexity of the tasks is increasing progressively. This game is in early access and has no discount but the price is 7€, so hardly breaking the bank.
    • European Truck Simulator 2 - because it was just 2€ and it looks chill, even though I am not much into car racing games.

    Bought Dicey Dungeons as a good one to play on Deck. I can run it with the TDP on the GPU set to 3w, which increases the battery lifespan impressively, while still running great! Plus the game itself lends itself well to the deck I’d say.

    I bought FH4 since they announced it’ll be delisted by the end of the year. I’ve previously played it a lot via gamepass, but despite the fact that it doesn’t have Cross-Progression with the Steam version I still bought it on Steam so I could play it on Steam deck. Medium settings run at 60fps!

    Other than that my backlog is big enough that I will abstain from the sale. Recently finished The Werecleaner (short and funny free game) and Black Mesa. Now playing CrossCode, FEZ and Nightmare Kart.

      I bought it when it released and loved it, very cleverly designed and works perfectly on Steam Deck. Also just for fun, try swiping across the touchscreen…

    I bought Balatro, Neon White, GRIS, Rollerdrome, and Pentiment. They’re all under $15 CAD and I’ve sunk a few hours into Balatro already

    I bought Baldur’s Gate 3, Deep Rock Galactic and Undertale.

    Right now, I am trying to get into Mass Effect 3, but I think I need a little break from it after completing ME2.

      The new season of DRG has suckered me back in, and some more of my friends just bought it as well. I hope you have a good time with it, it’s possibly my favorite game of all time.

        In my opinion Deep Rock Galactic is easily the best co-op shooter of all time, hands down.

        Yes LFD 2 and Helldivers 2 are great, and if your preference is for those games or warhammer Vermintide or whatever, fair enough, but I think from a game mechanics standpoint Deep Rock Galactic is a nearly flawless game. The guns all feel chunky and great, the verticality is SUPERB, the movement mechanics for the scout class have a ridiculously high skill ceiling, the tunneling mechanics are mindblowing just by themselves in the way they deepend combat and tactics, the ambiance is KILLER especially given the relatively simple but still attractive graphics, the Devs are super chill and release cosmetic DLCs so everyone can get new content… the list just goes on and on

        I don’t think people are ever going to get sick of it, I am confident you are always going to be able to find co-op lobbies to hop onto far into the future.

          I agree. I think the way that different terrain changes combat is key, and when combined with the players ability to shape terrain (especially with the driller or engi) has created a system that can constantly feel fresh for combat.

          I’ve put a lot of hours into different coop shooters, but DRG is my most played steam game (675 hours) and still feels fresh.

    I picked up quite a few games - Deathsmiles, DoDonPachi Resurrection, Mega Man X Legacy Collection, Mushihimesama, ProtoCorgi, Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds Saga, TMNT Shredder’s Revenge and Ultrakill.

    I’ve only played ProtoCorgi so far and I kinda love it - I mean, you’re a corgi, barking or shooting lasers at various enemies in space, what’s not to love?
    I’ve already played most of the other games before and wanted to own them on Steam, except for Ultrakill (and I’m really looking forward to that one).

    I bought Reus 2 (A puzzle god game) at launch last month - game changer!

    Finally a game that I enjoy playing on the deck and actually want to play after work on my commute etc. highly recommend it.

    Stray

    Binding of Isaac Rebirth

    Disco Elysium

    Dark Souls Remastered (don’t think it was even on sale, but I have never played a souls game and was told this was a good place to start)

    Basically a bunch of big hits that I never got around to. I’m starting with Stray, it’s relaxing and fun. I played a little Dark Souls, but I need to come back to that when I have more time to focus.

    I was also looking at Death must Die. I played the shit out of Vampire Survivors, and I’ve heard DMD is more of the same.

    Last big StamDeck game for me was Hades 2. Loved the original and 2 was just as fun. I know it’s not fully complete, but I unlocked everything available and upgraded most of the gear all the way. I can’t wait for the full release.

    Psychonauts 2. Was a huge fan of the original on PS2 and I can’t believe it’s taken me years to try the sequel. The animation, level design, and writing are all at the level of quality and creativity that I wanted to see videogames progress to some day when I was a kid. This is a playable DreamWorks film.

    Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor. Logged in at least 21 hours in it. It’s also at that price point where you feel indifferent if you don’t like it.

      Consider refunding and grabbing it for free from epic in a few days? Granted that would require you to tinker with the deck a bit to install from the other stores besides steam, if you’re up for it
