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.

I just picked up a steam deck!
@philz Me too, lol. The most expensive version. And with the remaining Wallet balance, I got these 4 gems.
My new Steam Deck.
An excellent choice. Which model did you opt for?
- Had enough rewards points from work to combine with my existing steam wallet to cover all but 9 bucks of it. I’ll upgrade the drive later.
Heck you could upgrade the screen later if you are feeling daring enough!
Hmm, did not know this. That is definitely a bit more work. But that is cool.
If you have someone with the etched screen around, go have a look at it before you embark on this adventure, I was very disappointed in the matte-ness of the screen.
What is a bit easier and relatively easy is to upgrade the ssd https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Steam+Deck+SSD+Replacement/148989
Have fun with your deck!
The most wallet-friendly choice is getting the 64gb model and a SD card or a bigger 2230 SSD.
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 can vouch for Control. It’s an amazing game. Do it.
You won’t regret it. I wish I hadn’t put off playing Control for so long. It’s basically SCP, the game. Got a fantastic atmosphere that really pulled me in.
Also, there’s this one notable part with metal blaring that is one of the most fun moments of any game (I’m being vague to not spoil it – those who played will know what I’m talking about). I never expected it to be so damn cool and you won’t either.
Control was the first game I played on my deck, I hadn’t played it before and I saw it on a few recommended for deck lists.
I’ve since gotten distracted by other games and haven’t gone back to finish it, but I was enjoying it for awhile. Souls-like games aren’t overall my jam though, so we’ll see if I do. I read a summary of the story already, and I’m not sure if it’s compelling enough for me to finish it to experience it directly.
But, all that to say yes, it worked great and it was fun, so definitely give it a shot!
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.
I’ve got that on my wishlist too, the problem is that I have so many other games already in my queue, that I think I wouldn’t get around to playing it before the next Steam sale.
As a result of having such a big stockpile, I’m not buying many games for myself in this sale. I am getting a few for playing on the sofa with family though.
Yup, I’ve had the same exact problem for a while now (which is honestly why I haven’t picked up control up till this point).
If reading threw everyone else’s comments here has taught me anything it’s that I have a ton of great games in my backlog I really need to give a fair shot. 😑
If you’re anything like me, a fair shot means looking at it every now and then and thinking I should give that a try. I’ve got nearly a thousand games in my library and barely enough room in my day for one.
Another +1 for Control. Such a great game.
Control works amazingly on deck too at low settings. It’s pretty dope!
Control is one of the most memorable gaming experiences I’ve had in the past few years. There are a couple really cool mechanics and set pieces that totally hooked me, awesome atmosphere
It has really solid ray tracing too, if you plan to play on PC as well
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.
Whaaat. I didn’t even know they had a steam version!
I bought Subnautica and ended up playing it all day
I’m jealous. Wish I could play that for the first time again.
Same. The game is so good. Low key terrifying at times.
Hades :)
Hades is sooooo good!
left 4 dead 2 and team fortress classic. I really love valve games and they are both fun games to play!

Stardew Valley is the GOAT. I’ve bought it 4 times (one for me and my ex on Android and again for each of us on PC) and would happily buy it again because it’s worth every penny.
I wonder if Stardew’s mods work on the Steam Deck? I’m not certain. But the game has amazing mods that completely change the focus of the game and add a ton of content.
I had a lot of fun playing that one.
I finally picked up Subnautica and its sequel. Really liking the game so far, though I tried to play it twice on Hardcore and ended up forgetting that I need to breathe both times, lol.
I ended up turning the difficulty down because I found eating and sleeping too micromanagy. I like that they give you the option. It was definitely a fun game.
Satisfactory.
Seems neat so far.
How is it on the deck?
It’s so good and so well balanced. I’ve gone through three calculators and two whiteboards. I wish I could do it for a job.
I went crazy on some colony sims like ‘Foundation’ and ‘Kingdom’s & Castles’. Loving them both!
How is foundation?
The gridless building system it has is really interesting, and the organic paths really makes it feel like your town is forming rather then being placed down. Managing the town is very like Banished but I loved that game so no issues with that! Would absolutely recommend 👍🏻
Nice! Thanks for the deets. I’m gonna go check it out.
I just picked up Detroit Become Human to play with my partner. Its one of her favorite games and I know nothing about it
So far picked up Pillars of Eternity Bundle, Stalker Bundle and Mass Effect Legacy. Probably won’t get much else, if anything been debating on Sea of Thieves but I wouldn’t have anyone to play that with so I’m being realistic if id enjoy it solo or not.
Honestly playing through Mass Effect Legacy alone would probably be enough to tide you over until the next sale.
I got Doom Eternal, but damn it’s 91 GB and I have only 89 free. (Yes, RDR2…) Now I wait for my SD card that I purchased afterwards…
just picked up Nba2k, and Left 4 dead 2. I still have a back log of games to play from last year’s summer sale:(
