Lot of people saying it’s Meh but ones that I’ve been tempted by are:
ATL 53% off for Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate edition -this passes the $60 AUD threshold which I’ve been holding out for
Crash Bandicoot Nsane trilogy for 90% off
Stanley parable ultimate edition at lowest price since 2023
- deals for this game have been tepid since December 2023, but this matches the ATL
I keep whining about the lack of new, adventurous action games and dead PS2 franchises, so I figured I put my money where my mouth is and buy Gungrave G.O.R.E.
I love OG Gungrave (wish they port it to Steam)—Overdose not so much because I found it too obtuse in terms of level design and controls.
I’m also looking at Spirit X Strike. It’s too reactive for my taste, so I haven’t decided yet, but I want to support the developer.
Maybe I’ll grab Zone of the Enders 2 as well? I don’t remember how much I liked it, gotta revisit the PS2 game first.
I purchased a bunch of dlc for Train Sim World (tsw). I only buy dlc for tsw when its on sale, save a small fortune that way.
Bonus savings if you can get one of the bundles on sale for double discount. I got £150 of dlc for about £55. Yeah dlc is super expensive for tsw but it doesn’t go out of date and nor is it needed for a multiplayer mode so why rush?
Been after the expansion pack for Germany and the Preston Route for ages.

Fear & Hunger 1 & 2 for me among others. Stellar Blade not on sale though… I get it but… It’s so expensive…
Anything good?
Yup! Most of my wishlist is on sale.
Was hoping for a discount on Spilt Fiction. Nothing so far.
They’re gonna be in my backlog for a while, but earlier I got Kerbal Space Program 1 ( with DLC ) all for less than $15USD before tax and the Steins;Gate visual novel for something like $3.99 before tax. Would have gotten S;G Zero as well, but I am low on funds as of now.
Oooh I was thinking of grabbing Steins. I know I watched the anime several years ago and enjoyed it, but only have hazy recollections of the plot. Doing the VN seems just enough same, just enough different to be fun.
Still unemployed so I’m not even looking. If capital doesn’t want to hire me, they can’t have any more of my money.
Looking at how few places are hiring now compared to 2 years ago is honestly terrifying.
Is there something on your wishlist that’s on discount?
Plenty of stuff, turns out. But I’m sticking to my guns. I have a big backlog anyway.
Just finished Tyranny and Pilliars of eternity so I’m picking up the sequel Deadfire. Checked out the price history last week and seems like it’s regularly 75% off during seasonal sales so I’m pleased to see it at $10.
Love Tyranny and PoE. Think Deadfire would have been an exceptional game if there was about half as much of it, but even as an epic RPG it does go on. Ten bucks for ‘three big games’ of content is a steal, though.
It isn’t that ‘successful game has a better-funded sequel that loses the magic due to feature creep’ is exactly unheard of - it’s a tale as old as time. But Deadfire was a sales disappointment, which it probably wouldn’t have been if they’d only spent half as much making it, and so we won’t be getting a PoE3 :-(
For whatever it’s worth, I never finished it, as an avid crpg fan. It’s not the hours it takes, it’s the constant feeling that you’ve got so much to do but no real idea where to start, or where to go, or what to do. If it was a world map with clickable places, like the original baldurs gates or even the somewhat intimidating but still much more digestible owlcat’s pathfinders style “railroad” experience, it’d been much nicer. But the free map to roam just makes both decisions harder, and also the seashell collector inside me awaken and suddenly I have to explore each pixel of the map in case I miss something, which is very exhausting on top of the already exhausting freedom.
I wish Expedition 33 was more than 10% off. I get why, but still.
My wishlist has some sub $5USD games so I’ll probably drop 20 or so. I really don’t need the extras though. According to SteamDB, I’ve only played about 41% of my 714 games - and that doesn’t include all the GOG and free Epic/Amazon games I’ve snagged over the years.
Bit meah honestly
Been mid for a few years now, in my experience. Most of the games I bought over the past two years I did outside of the Summer sale because most discounts are all the same anyway.
I’ve been eyeing Okami and it was 50% last week and it’s 50% again now.
I pulled the trigger on The Wonderful 101 in March at 55% and I was worried I’ll regret it in the Summer sale… it’s 55% again.
Been also eyeing Lost Judgment… 70% in March and 70% again now.
Animal Well for me and teardown for my kids. So far…
gmg and fanatical still cheaper for most titles.
that said I’ve been trying to load my steam wishlist for like an hour now.

Me too. It’s the usual steam servers having issues as soon as a sale starts.
Finally picked up a legit version of Rain Word, yay!
All of the Batman Arkham games are bundled for $9 too. With season passes and dlcs.
Major let down Kingdom Come 2 is only 10% off. That’s just taking tax off and nothing else.
4mo out I wouldn’t expect a deep discount off the bat.

So… who’s getting what?
