Title! But If anyone says Aliens: Colonial Marines or Duke Nukem Forever.....I will haunt you.

Tavern Master is a fun little $15 game, you build your medieval tavern, customize and whatnot. It's fairly simple, but quite relaxing to play.

Valheim is absurdly good for $20, it's Viking Minecraft with deceptively good graphics. Also, heavy metal music plays when you fight bosses.

Dishonored 2 is on sale, $5.99.

The Outer Worlds is on sale and also good.

I was going to suggest Disco Elysium, but it looks like that sale is over right now.

Angles fall first-part first person shooter, starfighter/starship combat with ground and space combat including ship boarding actions by infantry.

You can play with bots in private or public matches and set their skill level along with choosing your own maps.

Pluss it is only $17.99 so you won't even be spending all your money

I've been completely addicted to Snow Runner for the past few weeks. It's $30 for the base game or $50 for the "premium" (includes first year of DLC), but regularly goes on sale for 35% off. Each "season" of DLC adds new locations, so you don't really need newer seasons until you've already played the game for quite a while and decided you like it enough to want those new locations.

Isn’t there some Chinese New Year sale that goes on every year? Might get some goood deals if it hasn’t already happened yet.

Otherwise, any preferences as to what kind of game you might be looking for? Any genres in particular?

What Genres do you like? That's a pretty big factor in all this. Also i'd wait till there's a sale.

If you don't mind indie games i'd say Carrion looks like fun and i know Barotrauma is fun but Barotrauma needs you to play with friends who also have the game. I'd recommend it because i think chat is unmoderated so you know how that tends to go.

Are they gonna still have that due to China having a fit (like it always does) and cancelling steam in China i think.

Fallout new vegas. If you Like rpgs.

Mordhau, but it's sweaty medieval slasher.


Hmm it really depends upon what you like.

Honestly, I'm just looking for a good story. A good SP game that I can come back to every month and not be completely lost. Nothing like the Witcher where I need to read a ton of minor lore to understand what's going on.

I am looking at two games right now.

Prodeus and Hades. Everyone I know can't shut up about Hades, but I hate Roguelikes. I hate how you never feel like you are progressing, you just have to keep dying over and over to drag yourself where you need to be. I'm also looking at Raji: An Ancient Epic, and Pyre. Pyre reminds me a lot of Transistor and Bastion. Both A++ games.

Hades is good. I am not huge on Roguelikes either, but you do feel like you are progressing. That is huge.

Hades is made by the company that made Pyre, Transistor, and Bastion. Amazing soundtrack, amazing game.

Here's a game i was enjoying. It's basically good guy Skaven fighting bad guy frog-men in a medieval world. It has a very nice bit of art and is voiced by Geralt's voice actor in The Witcher games.

If that doesn't pique your interest then maybe this trailer will. 25 USD on the nose.

I can't speak for Hades or Prodeus, but I have heard good things about Disco Elysium's story. Haven't tried it myself FYI, but it seems to be giving off Planescape vibes.

I would do Disco Elysium, but it just looks....depressing. Like the trailer talks about Suicide, depression, and other bleakness. Also, again with the 4 million lines of text box interaction. No thank you.

Literally just started, so good timing.

Yeah it's a pretty dark RPG. Love it so far, though I am 11 hours in and I am still not sure if the game has combat in any way.

Subnautica is on sale now. Another great choice.

Own both subnauticas! Great games!

I just made a decision, Psychonauts 2 was on sale for a little over 25, so I pulled the trigger. Can't wait to see it!

Glad to hear! I’ve heard good things about that one. Have fun!

Late, I know, but I would like to add that I am enjoying Battle Brothers.
It's a "turn based tactical RPG", you run a mercenary company and go around a map filling contracts that mostly involve fighting turn based battles on a hex map.
Medieval fantasy setting.

fething brutal,but so good.

I have tried so hard to get anywhere in that game and I get wrecked every time I start a new Company.
