    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.

    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.

      The inability to resize the Undertale window without using a third-party program like Sizer continues to be INFURIATING to me.

      Undertale is a good game, but it just makes me so goddamn angry every time I open it to not have control over the sizing on my own goddamn monitor that I haven’t been able to finish it.

    Lingo ($6.99/$9.99) is an incredible exploration and word puzzle game. It also has a few excellent custom maps such as Duolingo and Liduongo.

    A sequel (Lingo 2 $9.99) just released and is also excellent. It changes how puzzle rules are presented, making them playable in either order. It’s a more polished experience though, so playing the first game after would probably feel like a step backward.

    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

      On the third game myself, I can’t believe I didn’t play these sooner. I understand the hype this series generated now.

        They may not have lived up to the hype when initially released, which was understandable as there were a lot of promises that weren’t keeps, but they are undoubtedly still absolutely amazing games.

    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.

      How does Elite Dangerous compared to starfield? I’m 20 hours into starfield but finding it quite fun.

        I have 1000 hours in Elite and it’s nowhere near as on rails or limited. It’s set in a full scale Milky Way where you can pick up missions from a station’s bulletin board, hunt pirates, or just pick a direction and jump to make discoveries, spending months alone scanning systems. The game has well developed lore that regularly updates through an in game feed, but it’s mostly background fluff unless you want to strengthen your faction or if there’s a major community event. It’s also a good time to jump in since new ships have been added and the galaxy is rebuilding after the last war event.

        Starfield has a focus on running around with your legs (or wheels), while ED is more about flying around with your spaceship (or wheels).

    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.

      I keep trying to get into Elite but it never clicks for me. I was flying around earlier trying to dock into a station but everyone was refusing me so I closed the game. I’ll probably look up a new players guide before giving it another attempt later.

        Was it Elite Dangerous? Stations grant docking clearance if you’re within range when you request it; I think it’s about 7500 meters. Check out the in-game the tutorials. One of them teaches this.

          Unfortunately it was due to being “friends only.” Player fleet I guess? I just couldn’t figure out how to filter them out before I got there and kept coming across them.

          That range one caught me out once but I figured that one out since it tells you to come closer. I’m going to take that tutorial suggestion though. Cheers!

            Ah… Yes, it was most likely a fleet carrier, then. Those are owned by players, and not always open to the public.
