Steam Autumn Sale 2025 Has Begun

  This is my first time actually looking at the new Steam store UI and I have to say that I don’t like it. They seem determined to fit less and less information on the screen and make it harder to find content. I didn’t like their previous UI revamp either for the same reason, but this one is worse. That’s fine Valve, my backlog is eternal, I won’t buy more games if you make it hard.

  What are you buying? Groceries, maybe I can swing something during the winter sale.

    A meme which is a screenshot of the old Facebook reporting screen. The user has selected “I’m in this image and I don’t like it”

  Did the customary scroll through my 50-game wishlist for irresistible 80-90% discounts and basically came up empty. Most of the deep sales are games that will surely be on another deep sale before I finish my upcoming few planned games to play, nevermind my whole backlog. Normally I end up adding something to the pile out of the old “well this is too good to pass up” but for once my wallet might be safe.

  Maybe I give in to temptation and pickup one of Virgo Versus The Zodiac, The Banner Saga or Salt and Sanctuary.

  I’m finding this sale underwhelming, and my backlog is already huge. Might skip it this time.

    They’ve been pretty underwhelming for a while now.

    You used to get crazy deals on games only a few months old. Now it’s just the same 50% off a five year old game before being ramped back up to full price between sales.

    There’s a few bargains of stuff you may have missed, but likely they’ve been an Epic freebie, or on PSPlus or in a Humble Bundle by now.

      I saw a game DLC I play that is ancient in game terms (Battletech) and they still want $15 per DLC.

      That’s barely a sale imo.

      Yeah. I’ve missed out on Yakuza 0 for 5€, now it’s always 12€. I mean it’s probably worth it, but not when I already own a ton of games that I still want to play.

    Basically me on the last few of these sales. Such a backlog I can no longer justify even the deep discounts.

      I have no data on this, but it doesn’t feel like the discounts are all that deep anymore

  Picked up Doom Eternal for like $4, which is not bad at all. Believe can get $4 of gameplay out of it even if its not as good as predecessor.

    I don’t feel like it’s fair to compare the newer DOOM games to one another. They’re more like different games than sequels.

    DOOM 2016 is an excellent reboot, fairly grounded.

    DOOM Eternal is a movement shooter / platformer with a ton of verticality in the areas.

    I haven’t played it yet, but I get the impression Dark Ages is even more grounded and geared towards wide open arenas. Almost gives me Serious Sam vibes.

    I’ve had a ton of fun with Eternal and I’m sure you’ll get more than your $4 worth!

  Darktide 67%, X4 at 75% and Hades 75% off are all extremely tempting. I need to start seeding the idea of buying darktide to my friends. I dont even think its worth buying any of these when im so hopelessly addicted to Beyond All Reason.

  Played the demo of Eriksholm: The Stolen Dream a while back so might buy it now it's 20% off. Not surprised it got "Overwhelmingly Positive". Bloody excellent game.

    If it would have had Swedish voice acting I would have bought it.

  I’m feeling like a lot of y’all. My backlog is already immense, and i don’t even need DLC for the games I have, which are mostly all huge and never ending anyway. Have we reached peak gaming? Are we now making games faster than anyone can play them?

  source
• EncryptKeeper@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago

  I’m seeing a lot of games with what seems like a much steeper discount than usual. First thing I do when there’s a steam sale is look at my wishlist and sort by discount and there are a lot of games on sale for 90% off, many of which only a couple dollars.

  As someone still halfway through SilkSong, I am immune

  It’s so bad, OMG. For +30 games on my wishlist, not a single difference from the Summer sale, and about half of them were already on sale for the same price before the Autumn sale began.

  Why even bother with seasonal sales at this point.

  Playing Hades 2 on desktop, Hollow Knight on deck, and Anno 117 is coming out in a month… Not to mention the five other games I added to my backlog this year and haven’t touched yet.

  I will be skipping this sale, methinks.

  source
• Glide@lemmy.ca ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  I’m already playing Hades 2 and FF Tactics comes out tomorrow.

  So that, I guess, then probably nothing. /shrug.

  Steam sales lose their luster when they’re so frequent.

  Don’t tempt me to spend even more money on games I will forget I bought 😅

  source
• OhmsLawn@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  Atomic Heart and Cyberpunk 2077 are the only two on my list that are discounted enough.

  Maybe, maybe not. I’m not close to running out of unplayed games.

  source

  • codexarcanum@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago

    CB 2077 is really good and probably worth it if you enjoy open world games like GTA, skyrim, or RDR.

    Atomic Heart I have been having a hard time getting into, for all the commonly cited reasons. The game looks gorgeous and its a fun setting, but you actually spend a lot of time in boring grey hallways fighting the same robots, and the combat just isnt especially great. Performance has been real hit or miss as well (I’m on Linux through proton).

  I might pick up monster train and doom eternal. Yeah, I still haven’t played doom eternal.

  source

  • Elextra@literature.cafe ⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago

    I really like Monster Train. Its my favorite after Slay the Spire.

    source

    • Schal330@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago

      Monster train 2 is even better!

      source
• Nelots@piefed.zip ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  I’d like to buy Sea of Stars or Dungeons of Hinterberg. They’ve both been on my wishlist for a while. But I can’t really justify the cost rn, and I already have a huge backlog to work through. So I’ll probably skip this autumn sale as well.

  Can’t find anything worth playing so far.

  i didn’t get anything in summer sale so this time I might indulge
