Valve really needs to space the autumn sale better and stop attacking my wallet like this.

  I ignored the autumn sale because I knew the winter sale would be right behind it and assumed it would have better deals

    Identical deals I believe. Except maybe that deep discount section that’s different. Everything else should be 100% the same

    I feel less likely to buy now because I know another sale will come soon when I’m ready. I’m not mad at it and less impulse buys.

I love how the Winter Sale starts and the entirety of all gamers DDoS the site. The prices are practically the same from the Autumn Sale.

Hope no one minds me asking here, but does anyone have any suggestion for games on sale that a 13 year old boy might like? Need a cool uncle gift for the nephew

  Teardown might be a good one.

  Make a family and add them to it. They’ll get access to your entire library. As account manager you can hide any games you think are inappropriate.
  
  I’m sharing with my brother who has 4 sons and it has been great for everyone.

    You can do that‽ Oh hell yeah. Cool uncle status achieved!

    I love how they changed library sharing, too, so group members are only accessing individual games rather than entire libraries.

  Any hints what kind of games they’re into? Racing, sports, shooters? My nephew mostly plays fortnite, he’s easy and happy with vbucks.
  
  source
  - dharmacurious@slrpnk.net ⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago
    Honestly? Not really. I haven’t seen them in about 4 years, and the last I really checked in one was super into reading fantasy novels and the other one like Lego. Lol. They’re family friends, not children of siblings.

Was in a thread recently where people talk about heavy story games being popular because of Watcher 3, Cyberpunk 2077, Disco Esylium and Baldurs Gate 3.

I’m going to recommend some fantastic story-rich/story-heavy games that people might have missed during the 2010-2020 era.

Shadowrun Returns and Shadowrun Hong Kong: RPG tactics. if you’re not familiar with Shadowrun, it’s Cyberpunk but with Elves/Trolls, and Dragons as president. Story is dark and fantastic.

West of Loathing and Shadows of Loathing: RPG tactics. Really great and funny writing. One reviewer said they smiled ear to ear during their whole play. I did too.

Danganronpa series and Steins Gate series visual novel territory. Starts really slow but sucks you in. Paradise Killer is also

Rusty Lake games Puzzly. Rusty Lake Roots storytelling is so good. Don’t sleep on Rusty Lake Paradise and Rusty lake Hotel. Those stories are a bit more abstract, as are all the Rusty Lake games.

Firewatch this is the game that made me sit up and pay attention to Walk Simulators. There’s a lot of good ones to name, but Firewatch is top tier.

All on sale for a few bucks. All of them will make you think about them while showering and reflecting on life.

  Just a reminder that the designer of the ,West of Loathing, games is an accused abuser.

    I was absolutely part of the KoL community in the 2000s-2010s, and left when I aged out of their KoL Radio/podcast stuff.
    
    I remember hearing about it during West of Loathing launch and definitely one of the reasons I avoided the game during release. But I came around during the pandemic and I wonder if there was an aftermath.
    
    Would you happen to know?

Any sale recommendations for co-op games or remote play together games that are on sale?

source
- Zoomboingding@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago
  Rotwood is a good one. Co-op Roguelite beat-em-up from the Don’t Starve guys.
  
  Lethal Company is just lots of fun, we’ve gotten too much time out of that dumb game.
  
  Outward is a fantastic old-school RPG for two people, has all the traits of a game from 2002
  
  Palworld - haven’t hopped back into this one since its launch but have been meaning to. But this type of game is definitely not underrepresented on the market.
  
  PlateUp! if you’re not worried about getting into a fight over how awful your buddy is at making food
  
  Rogue Heroes: Ruins of Tasos is a Zelda-like RPG that’s a surprising amount of fun for how simple the game first looks.
  
  Other bigname recs: Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, Baldur’s Gate 3, Sea of Thieves, Deep Rock Galactic, Stardew Valley
  
  source
  - Lesrid@lemm.ee ⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago
    Outward is definitely not for everyone, but it felt to me like playing Morrowind for the first time. Not in the dialogue or character writing but in terms of looking at a weird thing on the horizon and asking myself ‘WTF IS THAT’.

    My wife and I loved Escape Academy. The narrative structure made it more interesting. And the puzzles were more sillier in nature, like solving things while escaping a flood. Or trying to land a airplane.
    
    We bounced off of Escape Simulato.

  I enjoyed “It Takes Two” quite a bit. “A Way Out” is another co-op game from the same publisher that I’ve only heard good things about.
  
  source
- ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net ⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago
  For the more chillax remote co-op, these are the games I’ve played with my family. (Wife and kids)
  
  Valheim - survival building stuff.
  
  Grounded - survival building stuff but it’s Honey I shrunk the kids.
  
  Raft - survival building stuff but on a raft.
  
  Dinkum - building stuff like Animal Crossing but Australia
  
  Enshrouded - survival building stuff but Zelda Breath of the Wild
  
  V Rising - building stuff but vampires and MOBA

- Krauerking@lemy.lol ⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago
  Bone’s Cafe is a slower non roguelite cafe game were you get to kill and cook your customers. It has been lots of fun.
  
  Kingdom 2 Crowns is a great little game of frustration but it’s only 2 people but it’s pretty and the soundtrack slaps and it’s a fun settlement building and protection game.
  
  Everyone is already recommending Hazelight Studio games but I will jump on that too cause they are amazing.
  
  And just to shake things up:
  The Lego games. They are classic and usually a good time. Campy humor. Murder your friends. And they are pretty cheap as the whole collections these days.

    Bone’s Cafe and Kingdom 2 Crowns is right up my alley! Thank you

  It’s a game from 2014, but I love Double Dragon Neon which is 50% off. I have songs from the game in my regular music playlist they’re so good. I enjoy it more than the recent Double Dragon Gaiden. Great coop.

  Full Metal Furies is a very fun “beatemup-style” game very much focused on unique character abilities and cooperation. The writing is very funny, and each character operates very different. Currently $5.

lath@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago
I think I’m going to get the base Grim Dawn. A complete package might drop eventually for a good price though, so I’m undecided.

A shame Paradox games are DLC/subscription farms. It just ain’t worth getting invested.

Overall still, I’ll probably browse undecided and buy nothing in the end.

source
- CileTheSane@lemmy.ca ⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago
  If you like ARPGs I’d recommend checking out Last Epoch, I found the customization and skill trees much more satisfying than Grim Dawn.

  - lath@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago
    checks price … Perhaps.
    
    source
  - TechieDamien@lemmy.ml ⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago
    I just couldn’t get into Last Epoch. Can’t really put a finger on why, since other ARPGs grabbed me that are not that dissimilar…
    
    source
- snooting@sub.wetshaving.social ⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago
  Grim Dawn is a no brainer at $2.50.
  
  The base game is great, expansions are often on sale, and there’s another coming next year
  
  source
  - lath@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago
    The second game is why I’d rather wait for a good deal on a full package of the first.

Firewatch is a must grab at $2. Great story. The Forest at $2 is great to grab for you and a few friends who like to play survival games and don’t mind some gore.

    Crazy how they can spend nearly the whole year offering “discounts”. Its almost like they mark them up way more than they need to on purpose so they can pretend they’re giving us a deal the rest of the time.

The Sexy Brutale is a fun Groundhog Day puzzle game set in a casino where you must sneak around to prevent the staff from murdering the guests. The story seems insignificant but becomes astounding towards the end. It’s currently $5.

Unmetal is a very fun Metal Gear parody that isn’t totally lax with its writing - maintaining just enough serious tone to keep you invested and break your expectations when it uses the storytelling format to throw you for a loop. Currently $4.

Homebody is another Groundhog Day puzzle game, also about preventing your friends from being murdered - but with a very different tone. Creepy at times, and requires a slow unraveling of every one of the mansion’s puzzles. $5

Tyrion Cuthbert is an astoundingly-done indie take on the Ace Attorney format, set in a fantasy universe with its own magical rules. 5 full cases, with some big character moments in the later ones. Currently $10.

Near Death is a short horror game based on surviving arctic chill at an abandoned base at night. It feels much like an indie game version of The Martian, especially when you contact personnel that can give you tips but can’t send a rescue party. Currently $2.

source

  Unmetal is a love letter to classic Metal Gear. If you are a Kojima fan and love the wacky world building, this is right up your alley.

Grabbed Children of the Sun (Reg 14.99, 40% off to 8.99) and A Little to the Left (Reg 14.99, 50% off to 7.49) personally. Both are puzzlers but the former is far darker then the latter.
