The Steam Autumn Sale 🎮 is over, what did everyone get?
I bought over a dozen promotional games, with high discounts on several old games, Cities: Skylines-90% for only $2.99; Darkest Dungeon-92% for only $1.99. Also bought a promising HoMM-like new game, Pennon and Battle.
I would say definitely worth the 2 bucks. I wanted something I could play without having to pay attention to story, so it seems to fit the bill pretty well.
Currently playing FF7 Remake for the first time, as a huge fan of the original. The other games I purchased is to make the pile of shame bigger and to play when I have some time -- I'm not ashamed! For some reason I did not have the original DOOM games on Steam; this was the perfect opportunity.
Good buys...
Cities:Skylines is great, but need some DLC for a good game experience.... Vanilla version of game is poor in content. Europa Universalis IV is a good game. You have a game for many hours and many DLC too...
I'm enjoying the hell out of Gearbits. It's an indie mech shooter with Gundam aesthetics and fast-paced action like Armored Core for a base price of only $10.
Lies of P. It was pretty good. 30 hours for the first run through. I wouldn't recommend it unless you've already played sekiro and some dark souls, as I think they do it better.
I grabbed a bunch of games for Playstation, Steam and Switch. Some were cross platform so I could have gotten it for any of them. I grabbed a bunch of Atelier and Senran Kagura games, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, plus old JRPGs on a discount like Omega Quintet, Seven Pirates H, Mugen Souls, and Megadimension Neptunia VII. I do want to get the Romancing Saga 2 Remake but since I am still playing the Remaster on XBox, I decided to wait.
Nelke & the Legendary Alchemists: Ateliers of the New World is going to scratch my simcity itch. I am not ready to get into Cities Skylines 2, yet, I did play the first though. I had Estival Versus and Peach Beach Splash on the Playstation but they have graphical glitches on the PS5, so I got them again for Steam discounted. I also bought Theatrhythm for the Switch though I already had it for Playstation. Also got Patapon.
I bought Octopath Traveler II. I never thought I'd be playing RPGs again but ever since I've gotten the Steam Deck it's really changed the way I've gamed. I don't have long sessions because I play for about an hour before bed so I end up beating longer games in 3-4 months.
