This seems to pop up every year for the Steam Winter sales, so might as well start it up. For me, I'm currently around $30 in. Bought the Master Chief Collection for $16, and then Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance for $15.

Whatever, just wash your hands.
Dammit, I was going to make a thread about this once I got back from the store. We will have words BOB.

Anyway, so far I've got Hard West 2, Andro Dunas 2 and Armored Lab Force Vulvehicles. I don't think that last one is a porn game, but I can't be sure till I play more then the tutorial, it is fun though.

Hard west, weird west, evil west. How are we suppose to keep track of all these? It's like when they release outer wild and outer world at the same time.

Anyway, just going to ask about game that I,m thinking, see if anybody played them and could recommend or turn down.

40K avionic? Looks like some sort of tactics flying game?

Total war meet mount and blade? Sounds good but the review aren't that great

Never played a stronghold game before

Love me some for 4x, but review are meh

Looks fun, but the character design kinda creep me out tbh...

Persona knock off?

Didn't play the first one, review are meh

Dollar store Zelda?

King's bounty always stroke me as a worse HoMM

That one looks really good, will buy unless someone tell me not to

Same for this, advanced war like

Indie bioshock, with mixed review
https://store.steampowered.com/app/427880/PAMELA/

looks cozy

Visually looks good, but worried it'll be more of a walking simulator

Critic were very mix at release, but might have improved a lot after?

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1132910/ITORAH/

Looks awesome, but heavy discount + early access...

My wife is obsessed with that right now. Apparently it's kinda like Animal crossing for the PC but certain things require real time to replenish to encourage you to come back later. I tried it and it doesn't do much for me but it's very chill.

Then again I'm over here playing Project: Wingman where I have to shoot down roughly 10 billion fighter jets per mission(I'm pretty sure I've shot down more planes so far then there are actual combat worthy fighter jets IRL) so maybe I'm just not in the mood for chill ATM.

From everything I've heard, its best to avoid Kings Bounty 2, but the original games are really good and actually, Heroes of Might and Magic was based on Kings Bounty. KB came out first.
If you want some KB, pretty much anyone on this list would be good, although the original has been kinda surpassed by new mechanics the expansions added. Still a fun story though.

Nothing yet. Might get Hitman 3, but gonna wait until the last day, shave off a couple extra dimes from selling the daily free steam cards.

Admittedly I haven't played it myself but generally recall it being considered hot garbage and the lets play etc footage that I saw looked pretty bad. I decided to leave it alone, but my tolerance for low budget turn based 40k games has dropped off significantly over the years. There's an Ork arcadey flying shooter that seems better liked.

Myself, I have bought nothing. There's little that interests me out there that I wouldn't have bought already. Got the hitman series, call of Juarez, sniper elite 4 earlier in the year that I haven't started yet plus still enjoying Crown of Solasta when I get the chance.

Fuck me, Elden Ring on PC is discounted... 'tis one of the lesser signs of the Apocalypse.
FYI its a bit cheaper on green man gaming /fanatical. Green man gaming also gave out 5% additional off if your on there newsletter.
