    Looking through the sale trying to find ANY game that holds an interest for me… Any suggestions? Seems like a lot of trash lately.

      It really depends on what you like.

      Satisfactory was a lot of fun for me but others might not like it.

      Stalker 2 the same.

      I’m a big Total War nut also.

      And Veilguard was good if a little watered down.

      • Lorelei and the Laser Eyes
      • Rabbit and Steel

        Rabbit and Steel

        I haven’t had a chance to properly play it in coop, but I tried Rabbit and Steel and it is really fun.

        Thanks! Bought and played a lot of UFO50 already, I liked it. Bought and loved Balatro as well! I’ll have to look into the others. Thanks again!

          No worries! I’ve just realized you were asking for games on sale (reading is hard ugh…) so hopefully the ones you want will be discounted mb ^^’

        Another Crabs Treasure.

        Oof. Wanted to love it. Wanted it to be SpongeBob like but with dark souls but timing is weird. The game is buggy. Fights don’t feel satisfying and it’s somehow too fast and too slow but people keep telling me to just turn on God mode and it will be fun… But then it’s not a game it’s a power trip.

        I would skip it. I think it got hyped up the way that Stray did without being a great game just a great concept to talk about.

          Damn, that’s sad. Since I already have tons of games I want to play I’ll probably never end up getting it then. Thanks for telling me :/

            I know, I was so disappointed. But hey there is not a shortage of other fun games to play!

        Nine Sols is squarely in the “good but not fun” category for me. It is well executed but I did not enjoy most of it. Also the story is a bummer.

        I reinstalled Sekiro after finishing it to see if my memory was rose tinted. No, sekiro is still like music. Even cleared the “you should lose this fight” tutorial boss.

        It’s apparently got a major patch to make it good recently! I plan on getting it next payday because of that

          Honestly it’s quite good even at launch, but yeah the patches have made it better

      Same. Yesterday I searched through Switch, PS5, GoG and Steam to find something to play during the holidays.

      I think I’ll just track down the Wii game “The Last Story” I never got to play.
