Ladies, gentlemen, honoured neither of the aboves, are you ready for the quarterly festival of consumerism? Are you ready to buy games you won't have played by the time of the next sale? ARE YOU READY FOR A MIRACLE?
Steam Summer Sale 2023
- Thread starter 09philj
- Start date
Bit underwhelming for me. Not a single game on my wishlist is discounted. I'm actually kind of impressed.
The sale only just started so they might be if you check again in an hour or so.

Dang I own too much. Games I bought for more and haven't come close to beating yet are on sale for less now. Being a cheap gamer, there are games I want but the sale prices are not impressive yet. Too much other stuff to play 1st. But, some things show me there's no hurry: when ready these things will be on sale again before I'm close to being out of things to play now.
Playstation's got a summer thing going on too.
Hum looking trough my 903 wishlist.
Anyone played empire of sin? All the review made it sound like it was kinda lame which is a shame since I usually like paradox and like XCOM.
NFS unbound is arleady at 70%, guess it didn't sell well. I'm not into racing but I always like modification so maybe I'll try it for that.
Maybe dying light 2, the first one didn't set my world on fire but it was enjoyable enough.
Knight of honor 2, really liked the first one but 2nd didn't make much wave.
Elex 2, see the first one was fun because of all the jank, they might have tried to polish the sequel and you'd end up with something worse.
young soul looks pretty good
Anyone tried adaca? I'm wondering if its really immersive sim or just old school FPS
Souldier as a really nice artstyle but mixed review...
Lost eidolon looks like western attempt at making a FFT, could be good
Lost fleet... might break my no early access rule for it.
High fleet looks awesome, but only 35% off...

Here is a link to the artist that tends to do the pixel art they have.
Early on the sales tend to be a bit bugged so you have to click the game to see the sale, but by now that should be resolved.
I grabbed Dead End City, Fashion Police Squad, Broodstar, Hyper Echelon, Sam and Max hit the road, and Asterigos.
My pile of shame is already too large....
@Worgen & @NerfedFalcon, get Final Vendetta on sale while you have the chance! $12.50 is a geat deal for a game that is only 6 stages long as doesn't have that many bonus options.
Empire of Sin is alright. A bit generic but the better aesthetic makes it edge out over City of Gangsters. But that has better management, iirc Pick your poison.
Haven't tried Unbound yet, waiting for a bigger sale. Don't have faith in Criterion much. Their games always feel empty to me. If you're in a mood to race your custom car, Heat is still the best in the series.
Dyling Light 2 is very pretty at times and some of the characters are interesting...everything else is a downgrade from the first game. Hope you like timers and stamina bars!
Elex 2 is by Piranha Bytes, I can guarantee it will have jank. And probably more than the first one.
Ooh! Thank you very much! Wish I could actually see what the wallpapers in those packs look like, or even what their sizes are. 30$ is a bit spicy to find that out. Love their work though.Here is a link to the artist that tends to do the pixel art they have.

Final Vendetta, Evil West, or both? At least with EW, you get 13 chapters total (that will last you 9-12 hours), but no bonus modes. With Final Vendetta, you get 6 stages, survival, boss rush, and versus with no online play at all. So pick your poison, but I wouldn't call EW that much of a poison in this case. FV does have great combat though, but not as good as SOR4 or The TakeOver. Also, Miller, the Mighty Glacier character, I don't find all that fun to use. The game's main advantage is universal dashing and dodging, similar to The TakeOver.

Kinda both, but mainly Evil West. There are still a few more games on my list that I'm tempted by so they are having to compete with those.
Definitely considering it. Other things I'm looking at closely this season include Tetris Effect and Outer Wilds (the time loop one, not the Fallout New Vegas In Space one). Haven't bought anything yet, though.
