- Old and hidden games that deserve more love
Ring Runner: Flight of the Sages, story that get better as you play, insane amount of ship/play style customization.
Masquerada: Songs and Shadows, good lore and excellent world building, “easy” and forgiving crpg.
Wirewalk()↳, a short and loving gameboy like rpg, less than 100 reviews.
- Well known
Mass Effect™ Legendary Edition, no comments need, new historic low
Psychonauts 2, good game although it’s “cheaper” on gamepass.
SUPERHOT is £5.39 (70% off). Time freeze shooter.
I’ll throw in a recommendation for Sanctum 2. It drops to $2.99 every sale and has been hundreds of hours of fun.
Interesting recommendations
Lumines Remastered, really fun tetris-like with trippy music and visuals. The guy who made it would later go on to make Tetris Effect.
Loved it on my psp back in the day. Highly recommended.
How does the DRM free situation work on steam exactly? For those of with steam decks, how does that work? Games can still be taken down.
I’ve still got games in my inventory that’s no longer on the store, so I guess they’re always available if you bought them.
So if you uninstall or delete the game, you can reinstall them at a later time? Can you take the game out of steam? Can you launch the game without steam?
Everyone loves Baldur’s gate3 and with good reason. But if you want a different love letter to the originals, I highly recommend pillars of eternity: https://store.steampowered.com/app/560130/Pillars_of_Eternity_II_Deadfire/
It’s a big party based RPG with an original setting and system. Good story. Great characters. Many interesting classes. Sheds a lot of dnd-isms, but you can still see the heritage.
I like the second more than the first, but they’re both good. The second switched to per-encounter powers instead of per-rest, so you don’t need to camp or hit the inn nearly so often.
Also I really want them to make a third game. Maybe if more people buy it they will!
Pillars hit a steam sale when I got into Critical Role and there were additional sales during the pandemic (maybe in response to new customer volume) that convinced me to get the sequel. However, I’m sitting on ten durable 1060s (2/6 in use desktop, 3/4 laptop(m)) and just have them running video along with wutevs. Got one watering plants that can also give me a decent video stream under its own power, which is handy.
I am once again here to recommend Prey 2017.
$2.99 USD for a banger triple A Immersive Sim, it’s so cheap it’s like you’re mugging Todd HowardGreat recommendation here. I really enjoyed Prey.
Hellblade is like 5 bucks. Get.it.now.
STAR WARS: Squadrons I’d on sale for £1.75, definitely worth picking up at this price
