Kenshi is back on sale for 12$. It’s a special kind of special, but someone out there might connect with it. Lots of yt videos to get a feel for gameplay.
Age of Wonders 4 has been a surprise and a delight. I was actually so impressed with it I ended up buying my best friend a copy yesterday.
Can anyone recommend a good multiplayer shooter with a high player population? (Either 2D or VR is fine.) Or any non-MMO, non-role-playing PvP game that is mostly online and has populated servers? Something my 37-year-old ass can just jump into and play a quick match without having to dedicate my life to it?
Getting sick of all the PUBGs, Counter-Strikes, Call of Duties, and Overwatches/Marvel Rivalses. My best gaming memories were during the Battlefield: Bad Company 2 days. I never had more fun in a shooter than when I was playing Rush. But unfortunately EA never managed to recapture that same magic in the sequels. After the 2042 flop I quit Battlefield for good.
BattleBit Remastered is legitimately the tightest battlefield-like fps i’ve ever played, better than name-brand battlefield even. it fills the exact same niche for me.
i play with mic off and still manage serviceable communication with a squad of randies pretty much every game. there’s relatively frequent balance updates, so the meta isn’t focused on any one single playstyle. it’s exactly what i imagine an fps made by fps-junkies to look like.
Also playing support actually feels rewarding, and i think that’s proper rare in multiplayer games.
e: fuck hahah just kidding apparently it was abandoned by the devs. last update 15 months ago, rip to my favorite fps :c
God damnit; you had me sold up until the very end. :(
Caves of Qud has a small discount. I’ve been playing it a lot lately on the Steam Deck.
I’m enjoying Railway Empire. It’s on for 75% off the base game and pretty good deal for the entire DLC & Japan collections.
If you love time-wasters with some challenges, then I’d recommend it.
I liked it until the timed missions kicked in. It was a free game on EGS years ago.
Anno 1800 is 5 bucks. I love it, but you need to deal with Uplay as well
More capitalism, huh? I hope steam is paying you for that free advertising.
Critiquing capitalism while participating in it and name dropping a brand huh? 🤔
Too true. I’m getting my games from the communist on the corner from now on.
This is literally a community for recommencing cheap games to buy…
Armchair Activist
Talos Principle is $5
Talos Principle 2 is $15
Highly recommend both games!
Borderlands 3, if you somehow missed it, for under £5 is just a good value.
Idk why you got downvoted. Borderlands 3 for $6 is a pretty good deal. And $16 for the complete edition isn’t bad either. I already own the full collection on steam so I can’t see the price of that, but when I bought it during the last sale I wanna say I spent like maybe $50 on the entire Borderlands series.
There really is a “Lemmy hive mind” starting to form, just like reddit.
Because Borderlands is boring and repetitive, especially if you don’t have a friend group to play with.
my reccomendation? whatever’s on gog
in all seriousness, you can’t go very wrong with games made by valve, portal especially.
gog?
Good Old Games.
Celeste is 75% off and is a near-masterpiece of a game.
Portal 1 and Portal 2 are on sale again of course on the chance you haven’t yet hit these absolutely classic legendary games.
Persona 4 Golden is 40% off and is awesome, and Persona 5 Royal is 60% and is even more awesome.
Metal: Hellsinger is 70% off and while it isn’t a GOTY type game, it’s a hell of a lot of fun if you’re a contemporary metal music fan.
but my biggest recommendation is probably gonna be
Recettear: An Item Shop’s Tale at 80% for only $3.99 (US) which is an completely underrated hidden gem of a game and a huge recommendation for anyone who likes quirky cozy-hybrid games or who, like me, spent way too long on the shopkeeper segments in RPGs like Torneko Taloon’s chapter in DQIV.
edit: why in the world would anyone ever downvote a personal recommendation comment? Weird behavior, fam
If you like Recettear you should check out Final Profit:

I like this indie game critic, he has a recommendation video for sale
Here’s what I picked up during the Steam Spring Sale:
DOOM - $1.99 (90% off) Stray - $18.99 (40% off) Undertale - $0.99 (90% off) Celeste - $4.99 (75% off) Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order - $4.99 (90% off) Red Dead Redemption 2 - $14.99 (75% off) NieR: Automata - $15.99 (60% off) Hades - $9.99 (60% off) Devil May Cry 5 - $19.79 (67% off)The Mafia Trilogy is $15 for the whole shebang, or $7.50 for any one of the individual games. I grabbed Mafia 3.
Mafia 2 is the only one worth playing.
I’m liking that 3 feels more like Shaft than a stereotypical mobster movie game, so I could see how it might not be what you’re looking for if you want the good ol’ Italian mob themes.
We picked up Journey and Star Traders Frontier. I’ve wanted to play Journey since it came out but I didn’t have the proper console. Well, I forgot I put it on the wishlist, and that’s a real good price so.
I’ve (sung? musically yelled at?) another person already.
