    Already got a couple games/DLC because they were a good deal. Got 2 games and 2 DLC for $22.22 before tax. Pure luck, baby.

    Been thoroughly enjoying Sonic Origins but have yet to play Sonic Mania, though.

    I think Sonic Mania is currently less than $10 and Sonic Origins was something like $16.99 with the Plus DLC. No idea if those are good deals, but definitely better than the $30+ for Origins on its own in my opinion.

    The Sexy Brutale is a fun Groundhog Day puzzle game set in a casino where you must sneak around to prevent the staff from murdering the guests. The story seems insignificant but becomes astounding towards the end. It’s currently $5.

    Unmetal is a very fun Metal Gear parody that isn’t totally lax with its writing - maintaining just enough serious tone to keep you invested and break your expectations when it uses the storytelling format to throw you for a loop. Currently $4.

    Homebody is another Groundhog Day puzzle game, also about preventing your friends from being murdered - but with a very different tone. Creepy at times, and requires a slow unraveling of every one of the mansion’s puzzles. $5

    Tyrion Cuthbert is an astoundingly-done indie take on the Ace Attorney format, set in a fantasy universe with its own magical rules. 5 full cases, with some big character moments in the later ones. Currently $10.

    Near Death is a short horror game based on surviving arctic chill at an abandoned base at night. It feels much like an indie game version of The Martian, especially when you contact personnel that can give you tips but can’t send a rescue party. Currently $2.

    I love how the Winter Sale starts and the entirety of all gamers DDoS the site. The prices are practically the same from the Autumn Sale.

    Any sale recommendations for co-op games or remote play together games that are on sale?

      Full Metal Furies is a very fun “beatemup-style” game very much focused on unique character abilities and cooperation. The writing is very funny, and each character operates very different. Currently $5.

      Oh, and on the topic of coop games with primarily female casts: Assault Android Cactus is a lot of fun even for people who haven’t played games much. Rather than use a teammate reviving mechanic, players can pick themselves up - but everyone is fighting their timer to complete the mission before their batteries run out. Levels are quick and chaotic. $5.

      Rotwood is a good one. Co-op Roguelite beat-em-up from the Don’t Starve guys.

      Lethal Company is just lots of fun, we’ve gotten too much time out of that dumb game. Maybe check out Content Warning if you like LC but want a change.

      Outward is a fantastic old-school RPG for two people, has all the traits of a game from 2002

      Palworld - haven’t hopped back into this one since its launch but have been meaning to. But this type of game is definitely not underrepresented on the market.

      Escape Simulator is a nice stress-free co-op escape room game, lots of official content and also has Steam Workshop so there’s tons of great content.

      PlateUp! if you’re not worried about getting into a fight over how awful your buddy is at making food

      Rogue Heroes: Ruins of Tasos is a Zelda-like RPG that’s a surprising amount of fun for how simple the game first looks.

      Other bigname recs: Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, Baldur’s Gate 3, Sea of Thieves, Deep Rock Galactic, Stardew Valley

        Outward is definitely not for everyone, but it felt to me like playing Morrowind for the first time. Not in the dialogue or character writing but in terms of looking at a weird thing on the horizon and asking myself ‘WTF IS THAT’.

      It’s a game from 2014, but I love Double Dragon Neon which is 50% off. I have songs from the game in my regular music playlist they’re so good. I enjoy it more than the recent Double Dragon Gaiden. Great coop.

    I think I’m going to get the base Grim Dawn. A complete package might drop eventually for a good price though, so I’m undecided.

    A shame Paradox games are DLC/subscription farms. It just ain’t worth getting invested.

    Overall still, I’ll probably browse in hesitation and buy nothing in the end.

      If you like ARPGs I’d recommend checking out Last Epoch, I found the customization and skill trees much more satisfying than Grim Dawn.

      Rogue legacy 1 and 2 are great roguelikes.

      20XX and 30XX are great Megaman clones that are roguelikes.

      Not sure if it’s on sale but Creeper World is a super unique tower defense style game. The 4th one just came out.

      Edit- meant 5th one just came out

        I loved cheaper world. Great series. I didn’t like the newest one unfortunately. Played the demo wasn’t for me. I liked 3/4 though.

    Grabbed Children of the Sun (Reg 14.99, 40% off to 8.99) and A Little to the Left (Reg 14.99, 50% off to 7.49) personally. Both are puzzlers but the former is far darker then the latter.

      Had my eye on Children of the Sun a while back. Thanks for the reminder it’s on sale, I think I’ll pick it up too.
