People were worried that big games releasing these few weeks would overshadow indie games. Seems like that’s luckily not the case.
Some of these games, like Starfield, cost an absolute fortune ($120 AUD where I live on Steam). I’m simply not going to pay that much for a game but will happily pick up something like Sea of Stars for less than half the price.
10% more based on exchange rate — see comparisons here: steamdb.info/app/1716740/
I had to pay 120 space ham sandwiches for my copy
That’s not how exchange rates work.
That’s great news. It’s next on my list of games once I’m done with Armored Core.

To think it’s also on PS Plus (and I think Game Pass?). Well-deserved though, it’s a great game so far! Big Chrono Trigger vibes, which I just finished a few months ago so it’s cool to have some more old school JRPG stuff to play.
Although I’m super tempted to get it on Switch despite having 2 hours on PS5. It’s the perfect game to play in bed

I can play it for free through both GamePass and PS+ and yet I still bought it on Steam.
Suffice it to say the Steam Deck has changed how I consume certain games.

I feel you. I do have a Retroid Pocket though, I might try PS remote play first

Works great on my Steam Deck through Game Pass.

I thought this would be viable through Game Pass Cloud streaming. Bummer if it isn’t since Moonlight can’t find games installed on my pc. Might have to settle for a payment though Steam as well, then :)

Steam deck for me but yeah looks like a great game.

If you like old school, but new, games I have to recommend Octopath Traveller 2. I started it 3 days ago and already have 30 hours with no signs of slowing down.

Nice! How long is that game? Been hearing a lot of great things about it so I’ll have to give it a spin sometime.
Beelzebob@lemmy.world 9 months ago
It is on gamepass. I started playing last night. So far, it’s a win.

Same. It’s no Chained Echoes, but I’m still early, so maybe it takes off after a bit. I’m enjoying it a lot either way.

Welp, looks like I know what I’m doing while waiting for Starfield.
