Patient Gamers

The Witcher 1, 2, and 3 + DLC ;)

Outer Wilds is on sale. Great game if you like space, puzzles or platforming!

Celeste is 75% off and is a near-masterpiece of a game.

Portal 1 and Portal 2 are on sale again of course on the chance you haven't yet hit these absolutely classic legendary games.

Persona 4 Golden is 40% off and is awesome, and Persona 5 Royal is 60% and is even more awesome.

Metal: Hellsinger is 70% off and while it isn't a GOTY type game, it's a hell of a lot of fun if you're a contemporary metal music fan.

but my biggest recommendation is probably gonna be

Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale at 80% for only $3.99 (US) which is an completely underrated hidden gem of a game and a huge recommendation for anyone who likes quirky cozy-hybrid games or who, like me, spent way too long on the shopkeeper segments in RPGs like Torneko Taloon's chapter in DQIV.

edit: why in the world would anyone ever downvote a personal recommendation comment? Weird behavior, fam

Undertale is at a new all time love at $0.99. It's not really my jam but it's the time to pick it up if you always wanted to play it but never did.

Doom 2016 for 2$, Titanfall 2 for 3$ and battlefield games from BF3 through BF1 also go for 2$

Noita is currently 60% off and is hands down the best game I have ever played (kind of). It is ridiculously brutal and you will die very often but you have the potential to get ludicrously powerful as well. The game will cheese you so don't be afraid to cheese it back. In has so much content that beating the final boss for the first time is considered beating the tutorial.

Also if the some aspects are too bullshit for you there is a variety of mods to fix these, and there is absolutely no shame in using them.

If you are the simmy type or like space, Elite Dangerous is insanely good, but has a learning curve up front. It's the only game I've put over 1,100 hours in and still haven't explored everything.

Subnautica is another game I can highly recommend.

If you wanna play games with friends (Elite is also MP), The Forest is a great game to bond over.

Black mesa is another banger.

The entire Creeper World series is on sale- Creeper World 1 and 2 are $2.49, Creeper World 3 is $4.94, and Creeper World 4 is $9.99. Personally, I don't like Creeper World 2 so I would suggest any of them but that one. CW2 is side on and I'm not a fan. CW1 and 3 are top down, and CW4 is properly 3D.

The first couple of Creeper World games used to be flash games you could play in browser, but after the age of Java games they ported them to Steam and kept making more and better games.

The basic concept is that it's a cross between a very simplified RTS and a tower defense game, with the added curveball that the enemy is just a liquid that won't stop showing up everywhere.

No Man’s Sky is down to $23.99. I remember the launch was poor but they kept working on it and improving it. I picked it up a couple years ago on Xbox and have enjoyed it

I added Cyberpunk to the cart. We’ll see if I actually purchase it.

Mass Effect legendary edition (all 3 games + all DLCs) is on for 6 Euro.

That's a great deal IMO

Talos Principle is $5

Talos Principle 2 is $15

Highly recommend both games!

Here is a link to Steam DB showing popular games more than 50% off:

Just a reminder that while we all love Steam, they run an underage gambling ring in the form of CS skins, which they refuse to address.

Elite Is a space flight economics simulator.

Fly around buy here sell there look at stuff for fun and get into battles

Great game but you will want a hotas set up if you really get into it

my reccomendation? whatever's on gog

in all seriousness, you can't go very wrong with games made by valve, portal especially.

Rain World and its DLC Downpour are 50% off (just above 11 bucks)

Dead cells bundle

https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/30317/

Solasta Crown of the Magister for $8.99.

For me it's the best game ever to capture the D&D feeling. The custom Warlock subclass, Timekeeper, is ridiculously fun.

Here’s what I picked up during the Steam Spring Sale:

DOOM - $1.99 (90% off)
Stray - $18.99 (40% off)
Undertale - $0.99 (90% off)
Celeste - $4.99 (75% off)
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order - $4.99 (90% off)
Red Dead Redemption 2 - $14.99 (75% off)
NieR: Automata - $15.99 (60% off)
Hades - $9.99 (60% off)
Devil May Cry 5 - $19.79 (67% off)

Borderlands 3, if you somehow missed it, for under £5 is just a good value.

I like this indie game critic, he has a recommendation video for sale

https://youtu.be/uN51VdTNzTg

We picked up Journey and Star Traders Frontier. I've wanted to play Journey since it came out but I didn't have the proper console. Well, I forgot I put it on the wishlist, and that's a real good price so.

I've (sung? musically yelled at?) another person already.

Doom (2016), Doom Eternal, Helldivers 2, Broforce

I got myself and can recommend:
Returnal (29.99€) (Rogue-like shooter),
Wisper (6.99€) (Open world exploration) and Crossroads OS (3.74€) (Puzzle game).
I can further recommend:

Studio System (8.84€) (Horror),
With My Past (6.59€) (Puzzle),
Signalis (13.99€) (Horror).

Can someone explain videogames sales to me? How can a game be 12$ and 8.99$ the day after?
