I’ve about $50 in my steam wallet and I’m wondering what this community would think are must-haves. I’m currently eyeing Satisfactory and Potion Craft and am worried I’m missing out on any great deals.

    Disco Elysium is 75% off.

    Prey (and Mooncrash) are 75% off. Most other Arkane games are too, and they’re all top notch (except Redfall :/)

    Killer7 is 75% off.

    Ace Combat 7 is 85% off.

    Dying Light (and The Following expansion) are 80% off.

    CONTROL is 75% off.

    All the Deus Ex games are >80% off, really can’t go wrong here.

    Pillars of Eternity I and II are 75% off.

    Lots of great deals on high-profile games this sale, and I highly recommend everything on this list.

      Isn’t there something with disco elysium and whoever is profiting off of it now is not the original creators?

        It’s a clusterfuck really, but yeah the lead writer, designer and artist were all fired and lost the rights to the IP. Litigation is still ongoing I think, and hopefully Kurvitz, Hindpere and Rostov can regain the right to at least produce more work in the IP in the future. Heartbreaking for Kurvitz especially since he’s built the IP with and for his friends from the age of 15.

        Yeah, iirc the developers, who’d spent bloody ages developing the world for the game, we’re effectively kicked out during a hostile publisher takeover. They’re seeing none of the money from sales, nor do they hold the rights to their own property.

        I might be misremembering some parts here, but the main point is that the devs were fucked over, aren’t profiting off their property, can’t do anything new with the property.
