A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Are there any games you're planning to pick up during the Steam and GOG sales? (lemmy.zip)

We've got two big sales going on, and I'm currently deciding what I would like to pick up. I'm planning to get Expeditions: Rome since it's 60% off, and I'm trying to decide if I want to finally get Terra Invicta.

What patient games are the people here planning to pick up? Maybe I'll find a few that I "need" to try!

Bought Icarus and State of Decay 2 today. One was 50% off and the other 66%. I almost bought them last night. Glad I waited. Always on the lookout for more co-op games to play with the wife. Can't wait for Ark 2!

A little PSA: buying a game just before a sale, is a legitimate reason for a refund according to their Refund FAQ

Icarus looks interesting but I've been eyeing Enshrouded. My wife liked playing Volcanoids, Astroneer, Drake Hollow, Smalland, Conan Exiles, Dinkum, Palworld, and of course Stardew Valley, among others. Not sure which of those are on sale but check them out.

Enshrouded is great!

[–] CancerMancer@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago

Appreciate the opinion, I'm thinking I'm just going to go ahead and pick it up

SoD2 is a solid game! I wouldn't describe it as amazing, but it's pretty unique and scratches a particular itch.

Great description. I like to get into SoD2 if zomboid is feeling too simmy. Still has survival elements but not as hard-core unless you make it that way.

Icarus is one that's caught my attention a couple of times, but I've never bought it. I don't do a lot of co-op or multiplayer in general, but it does look interesting.
