Patient Gamers
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.
^(placeholder)^
Anyone else feeling like they’ve already picked up most of these over the years of summer sales and there’s really not anything worth picking up this year?
The most recently released game on the list is Hades, which came out three years ago. Most are much older. Chances are if you play PC games you've gotten most of these in past sales.
Rude to list transistor and hades but not Pyre
Pyre is basically Fantasy NBA Jam with a visual novel story that adapts to if you win or lose. Very good story. Very good art. Very good music. Very good game.
Don't forget about Supergiant's first game, Bastion. It's currently an absolute steal at 80% off.
Love the narrator in Bastion. One of my all time favorite soundtracks too!
The soundtrack is absolutely wonderful. Even if you don't play the game, give the soundtrack a listen.
I am just adding my humble opinion but Pyre is the only SuperGiant game that I don't like.
I really recommend the Ori series, beautiful and the story is great.
First one was a 10/10 for me. Second one was a 9.5/10. Both were excellent games. Both made my cry like a baby. Highly recommended.
Fuckin hell you guys are here too, thank god
This is a beautiful breakdown. Nice to see this type of content on the community. Real quality.
The original Deus Ex is 86% off at 0,97€. Definitely worth it if you have yet to play this masterpiece! Just finished it myself on Steam Deck and worked like a charm.
The mod Deus Ex: Revision is available on Steam as well for free, which makes it extremely easy to install and use on Steam Deck. GMDX is another good mod, but it's not on Steam so you'd have to install it the old fashioned way.
Vanilla is great if it's anyone's first play-through, though
Dark Souls Remastered and Sekiro are on sale. These are relatively rarely discounted, so here's an opportunity if you were looking to pick them up.
- Ghost Song (2022) 30% off at $13.99
- Dark Souls III (2016) 50% off at $29.99
- Metro Exodus (2019) 80% off at $5.99
- Signalis (2022) 20% off at $15.99
- Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide (2015) 90% off at $2.99
- Horizon: Zero Dawn (2020) 67% off at $16.49
- Song of Iron (2020) 50% off at $9.99
- Tactics Ogre: Reborn (2022) 40% off at $29.99
- Triangle Strategy (2022) 50% off at $29.99
Edit: Added Dark Souls III to list
I am tempted to buy transistor - is it pretty similar to Bastion? Pyre was amazing, but Im not sure if I need another straight forward RPG style game. Does it have some kind of unique hook?
Into the Breach, Talos Principal, and Ori also look interesting. Although they're all slightly different than things I usually play so not sure.
Although I finished Bastion five times and Transistor twice, I'd still say Transistor is the better of the two while being comparable to their best game Hades.
Ori is a nice game. It is quite casual at first, but it gets more complicated over time. The graphics are nice and the effects not over the top. The story is more...I would say somber?
Overall, it was also a great game for my girlfriend. Visuals and story held her interest long enough to play through the whole game (even the more frustrating parts).
I highly recommend playing Disco Elysium, but I'd recommend pirating it like the creators requested.
Amazing game though.
- Shakedown: Hawaii - 80% off at 3,99€ - Think GTA for the 16-bit era.
- 2Dark - 90% off at 2,49€ - Think Alone in the Dark but top-down and in retro/voxel style, from the original creator of Alone in the Dark.
- UnderRail - 60% off at 5,67€ - Hidden or not, this one can't be recommended enough to fans of the original Fallout (1 & 2, isometric) games.
- Space Haven - 60% off at 8,79€ - In-depth colony/spaceship building & management sim with cozy graphics.
- Crystal Caves HD - 60% off at 2,63€ - A true testament to how to faithfully bring an old platformer into HD, while also innovating on the original. Also contains a lot of hidden gems.
- Supraland Complete Edition - 54% off at 15,71€ - First-Person-Metroidvania in a literal sandbox, lots of freedom, lots of puzzles and exploring. Contains the DLC. Get this to gear up for the eventual release of the sequel Supraworld. The standalone Supraland Six Inches Under is also worth getting, but is "only" at 45% off, which is still great.
- The Yakuza games aren't individually on sale (which is weird), but the Bundle and Collection are 70% and 75% off. Yakuza Zero is definitely worth playing, so for 30 bucks (in Canuck dollars), you basically get two more games for free in the bundle.
- RDR2 is 67% off and absolutely worth every penny.
- AC Origins is 85% off and AC Odyssey is 80%. I know some people have mixed opinions about Odyssey, but I honestly loved both of these games even if the historical accuracy...dips...in Odyssey.
Thanks for the write up fellow gamer
I never tried the resident evil series and haven’t heard about it much, is it worth it? Where do I start?
Resident Evil 2 Remake is an all-time classic IMO. Phenomenal entry point. No knowledge required from Resident Evil 1.
I'll put a nomination in for Dragon's Dogma @ $5. I first played it on the vita, so it's great for portable (Deck) playing. It's a fun enough RPG/fantasy and I quite liked the pawn system. There's a sequel on the way so if it's something you enjoy there'll be more :)
Well guess I don't have an excuse not to try out ori and Stardew valley
Can't recommend Stardew valley enough.
You've never played Stardew? Oh, you're in for a treat. One of my favourite games of all time.
I didn't like Ori, though. Too difficult, for one thing. It has these especially frustrating escape sequences. It was a pretty game, but that wasn't enough to make me enjoy it.
Thanks for this list. I can really recommend both state of decay games. I’ve been playing them for years and I really love them
I'm not sure that its the type of game many people here would enjoy, but if you're looking for a strategy game with a slightly retro (2000s-ish) vibe, I can highly recommend kairosofts games. Game Dev story in particular I love and is on sale for AU$5
Age of Empires DE currently does not work on linux and for some win 11 users too. It did but as of 2 days ago it hasn't. This is the issue on the subject, https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/3189. At least people got a minecraft crossover 🙄
So many awesome games on sale.
Into the Breach
It's rare I say this about a game, but this is even worth full price, so definitely pick this up if it even looks vaguely relevant to your interests. It's positional chess-like turn-based rogue-lite full-information gameplay. It's awesome. They dropped a massive completely free content expansion out of the blue after years of being released that just made it all even better.
Thanks for reminding me that *left 4 dead 1 & 2 *were in sale for 90% and other old valve games... I bought them as soon as i can!
