I played the demo and it was fun and there is a new DLC that was just releasesd, so it does feel like a good time to jump in.

I bought it at full price. I don't regret it, but obviously 60% is much nicer. I'd really only recommend that game to already existing fans of Yakuza. It's hilarious, the story is wonderful, and I was very happy to see Majima get his own game, but it does seem like a spin-off fanservice game. The action is very good for a Yakuza game though.

If you don't like ARPGs, here's what I believe is actually the first game in the series, but it's actually a deck building card game

Save 60% on Tainted Grail: Conquest on Steam

A unique, infinitely replayable, story-driven hybrid between a deck-building Roguelike and an RPG game. Explore the ever-changing maps, fight with deadly enemies, and learn what happened to the cursed island of Avalon.

Icarus got an insane discount at 90%. I played it when it had a free weekend some months back and it was pretty chill. The building was good, the world looked all right, and the combat was ok if not a bit glitchy at times. Definitely worth it for that low price.

Save 90% on ICARUS on Steam

ICARUS is a PvE survival game for up to eight players. Explore a savage wilderness in the aftermath of terraforming gone wrong. Survive the Open World, complete timed Missions or build your Outpost. Explore, build, craft and hunt while seeking your fortune and prospecting for exotic matter.

Lol, Borderlands 4 with a 20% discount and the original price is just stupid! I might buy this game when it is on an abyss level of discount at 90-95% or more. Most likely I'll wait until Epic Games gives it out for free, which will happen eventually. Randy Pitchford might be a "magician", but there is nothing magical about that price.

 

[Frindis]

Green Hell on 90% is a historical low, even if I did not personally like it. There was something off with the exploration, but I can't put the finger on it now aka not janky, but weird somehow, I dunno.

Come to think of it, I think my mistake playing it was just rushing too much, so I did not really get to learn all the survival mechanics because I was basically cutting down all the trees by the time the rules got known, lol

Save 90% on Green Hell on Steam

Plunge into the open-world survival simulation set in the extreme conditions of the uncharted Amazon jungle. Use real-life survival techniques to craft, hunt, fight, and gather resources, set a makeshift shelter, or raise a fortress. Survive alone or team up with your friends and challenge the...

The competition is strong, as I've been wanting to play the Subnautica sequel ever since I finished the first game.

Save 75% on Subnautica: Below Zero on Steam

Dive into a freezing underwater adventure on an alien planet. Below Zero is set two years after the original Subnautica. Return to Planet 4546B to uncover the truth behind a deadly cover-up. Survive by building habitats, crafting tools, & diving deeper into the world of Subnautica.

There's also this unique game that PCGamer recently had an article about and which is on sale for only a couple of bucks:

Save 75% on NEO Scavenger on Steam

NEO Scavenger is a game where you must survive in the wasteland long enough to figure out who you are. Each turn, you must decide where to go, how to scavenge for supplies, and how to deal with anything and anyone you encounter.

I didn't have any plans for Christmas presents yet, so maybe I can just get all three of them... and then try to find the time to actually play them.

Save 90% on Watch_Dogs® 2 on Steam

Welcome to San Francisco. Play as Marcus, a brilliant young hacker, and join the most notorious hacker group, DedSec. Your objective: execute the biggest hack of history.

store.steampowered.com

The Gold edition of my favorite Ubisoft game is only $7.99 . It's all dumb fun, the hacking isn't very involved but still fun to do, the world is large and offers good exploration, graphics are still very decent for a 2017 game, really at this price you can't go wrong if you like third person open world games.

Save 90% on Detroit: Become Human on Steam

Detroit: Become Human puts the destiny of both mankind and androids in your hands, taking you to a near future where machines have become more intelligent than humans. Every choice you make affects the outcome of the game, with one of the most intricately branching narratives ever created.

store.steampowered.com

Detroit Become Human is only $3.99 . It's been growing a cult following in recent years, many people say it's an amazing story heavy game.

Save 90% on HITMAN World of Assassination on Steam

Enter the world of the ultimate assassin. HITMAN World of Assassination delivers the definitive stealth action experience, putting you in the shoes of Agent 47, a master assassin. Explore immersive locations, uncover hidden secrets, and eliminate targets with complete freedom of approach.

store.steampowered.com

Hitman World of Assassination starter pack is only $2.99 which I believe is an all-time historical low, but the standard edition is not, on sale for $27.99. It's all confusing, but the $2.99 starter pack gives you essentially all of Hitman 1 on the updated engine and platform. For those who are unaware, Hitman 1-3 have been consolidated into a single platform known as World of Assassination.

Save 90% on Gangs of Neo Tokyo on Steam

Dominate the streets of Neo Tokyo in this high-speed motorbike brawler. Inspired by classic cyberpunk anime and retro road combat games, fight rival gangs and claim the neon-lit highways as your own.

store.steampowered.com

Here's a game with 0 reviews on sale for $0.89. I've had it in my wishlist for a year, it looks pretty decent for a low budget indie game.

Save 15% on Town to City on Steam

Not initially planning on getting anything, but I might pick-up Roadwarden. I've had my eye on it for probably over a year now and it's frequently on sale and I'm always meaning to pick it up, but now might be the time. I don't intend to play it immediately, but maybe I should move it up my list.

Save 75% on Roadwarden on Steam

Roadwarden is an illustrated text-based RPG that uses isometric pixel art and combines mechanics borrowed from RPGs, Visual Novels, adventure games and interactive fiction.

store.steampowered.com

Considering picking up the ultimate edition of this game for $13.99. I generally liked Odyssey and played this one a bit when I had Game Pass. It's okay... it's an Ubisoft game so you already know things will get repetitive after a bit. But for that price, that's like 120+ hours worth of content. If I'm not mistaken @Johnway finished the game not too long ago. It would be a nice time sink for not a lot of money, something easy enough to shut my brain off and enjoy for a few hours at a time.

Save 30% on Arma Reforger on Steam

Engage in massive combined arms battles, create and curate combat missions in real time, and shape your experience with endless community mods. Deploy into the Cold War and experience the most authentic and immersive military sandbox ever created.

Another two games I'm considering but not sure if I'll pull the trigger. I really like Arma 2 and 3, creating my own missions was my favorite part about it. This is the next generation of Arma on a totally new engine and more. It has lots of multiplayer game modes with the newest one being a fairly streamlined experience, doesn't get into all of the nitty-gritty of realism as other modes do.

And with Stalker 2... the game isn't really finished yet. I want to play very badly, I enjoyed the 10-15 hours I put into it at launch on Game Pass, but it's still being updated with new content and features. Maybe I'll give it until it hits 2.0. Also, they are working on doing a complete engine overhaul to a newer version of UE5 which they claim will improve performance.

Tempting, but not sure if I'll buy yet.
