I miss the days of the short discount windows because the deals were so much better.

- True but that resulted in it's own problems. Think the issue these days is publishers/devs get greedy and suddenly the discounts are worse? You can track the discounts with steamdb and for example the forests devs literally made the worst sale on their game since it came out. Probably to cash on the fact that the new one came out and people might want to check the older one. I wanted to get far cry 3 and was surprised to find the sale was worse (i'm not going to give ubisoft more money, i'd give it to indie devs but not ubisoft).

I got Backpack Hero. Played the demo on itch.io last year and i enjoyed it back then so i already planned on buying it at some point, and seeing it on sale gave me the push to actually do that. And this newer version is good, some mechanics like the curse system have been improved and obviously this version has more content.

Devil May Cry 5 for $10

Age of Empires 2 Definitive Edition for $5

- How is Monster Train? I usually don't go for card games, but I played a lot of Slay the Spire.
  
  I second Oxygen Not Included, but skip the DLC

  Monster train is lovely. I actually prefer it to Slay the Spire, but it is a little bit more complex. I would highly recommend not playing with the DLC at the start because that makes things a lot more complicated. If you do end up buying the DLC, there's an option to turn it off. Only when you've mastered the game should you turn it on.

Anything INDY that looks fun. I refuse to buy anything 'AAA' branded because none of them deserve money or my attention anymore.

- Hard to say without knowing what genres you play, but you can't go wrong with rimworld or hollow knight.

  Sorry, that wasn't a question but a statement. I will only play Indy games. I have blacklisted anything from the AAA studios because of pure corporate greed.
  
  Played both those games and enjoyed them.

- I can't argue with that.

I know they're on the verge of upcoming remakes and their current discounts aren't much, but I'm excited to play Lisa: The Painful and Persona 3 Portable - in the latter's case I've already played P3FES but I wanted to hold off on playing the FemC route until either Atlus or fans added in manual skill inheritance - by far the feature I missed most from P4G and P5R. Thankfully, modders have accomplished that and more for P3P.

- Once I found out the femmc wasn't going to be in the Persona 3 Remake all of my interest in it died.

Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove

Cuphead

Cuphead - The Delicious Last Course

Disco Elysium - The Final Cut

Spelunky 2

Chrono Trigger

High On Life

Cult of the Lamb: Cultist Pack

Still thinking about getting return to monkey island or wait for a better deal later on.

- Man I loved Disco Elysium, the story and atmosphere still sticks to me to this day, it's a very slow burn at the beginning but man is it worth it at the end!

Looking hard at Pegglin, Griftlands and maybe Remnant.

Protodroid Delta, Rusted Moss, Roboquest, The Last Tinker.

Been feeling like going for the nostalgia platformed stuff lately!

- I've been eyeing rusted moss. Looks really neat. Have you played it yet?

  Right off the bat I can tell you it's like Metroid and Celeste had a baby with a grappling hook system. It also has controller support! Story just drops you in the middle of things which is... An odd choice but I guess it's a piecing together kind of thing. Charming music as well.

I'm loving Far Cry 5 (on Xbox), but I've purchased Far Cry 3 and 6 on this sale. I've heard mixed reviews about 6, but great things about 3 (if it still runs normally on a modern pc). I also took a dive at X4: Foundations, but never played any of the series. Hopefully everything is fun.

0
- 3 plays great on my PC. I made the mistake of playing 5 first, so I found the graphics & mechanics a little underwhelming (I thought 5 looked pretty great). But the game is good; the villain seems to be the series' fan favorite.
  
  4 might is the sweet spot between 3's gameplay and 5's graphics. 5 is gorgeous, but it's gameplay is a tad more kid-friendly than 3 and 4. And I love 4's James Bond villain.
  
  1
  
  Thanks for that! I'll definitely try out 3 and 4.
  
  5 is basically the first Far Cry I've played more than an hour. I wasn't a big fan of FPS games until recently, so now I have a lot to discover.
