A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

A lot of games I've had on my wishlist are at all time low price now, so I wanted to share (I have not played these games):

Heaven's Vault - I've seen it recommended as similar to the Outer Wilds - 5.49 EUR

Doom Eternal - 3.99 EUR

Pistol Whip - VR rhythm shooter - 12.49 EUR

shapez - great automation game (this one I have played and highly recommend if you like the genre) - 0.78 EUR

New-ish games that you can be more patient about:

shapez 2 - 3d successor to the game above - 13.47 EUR

Ghost of Tsushima - 29.92 EUR

Cyclopean: The Great Abyss - Lovecraftian cRPG with very retro graphics - 7.80 EUR

Static Dread: The Lighthouse - Lovevcraftion "Papers please" - 9.59 EUR

The Horror at Highrook - an occult card crafting narrative RPG, ofc Lovecraftian - 12.94 EUR

Little Witch in the Woods - cute casual witch simulator - 11.96 EUR

This list doesn't cover games I've already bought as I do not track their prices.

Are there any games you'd recommend?

I think Halo the MCC is 75% off for the first time, so I got that and Mortician's Tale. Sons of the Forest also seems to be at its highest discount for the first time, so I might get that.

Here are my recommendations:

  • Witcher 3 - 6€
  • Mass Effect Legendary Edition - 6€
  • Hades - 6€
  • Control Ultimate Edition - 4€
  • Kingdom Come Deliverance - 6€
  • Greedfall - 3,50€
  • DOOM - 4€
  • XCOM 2 - 2,50€
  • Outer Worlds - 7,50€
  • Robocop Rogue City - 5€

Not part of the Steam sale, but while Control at 90% off is a great deal I feel obliged to raise awareness of the current Remedy 30th Anniversary Humble Bundle, which has their whole catalogue minus Firebreak for about 30 bucks - which I think is an even better deal.

Other games that look cool but I haven't played

  • Eternal strands
  • Shadow gambit: the cursed crew

Control and Witcher 3 are also on sale for 90 and 80% off respectively.

Cheap all-time-low price tag games (according to SteamDB) that I‘ve played myself and can recommend:

Slime Rancher

Broforce

My Friend Pedro

Dust: An Elysian Tail

Poly Bridge 2 (also the first one)

Clustertruck

Risk of Rain (the old one)

The Swapper

Rogue Legacy

McPixel 3 (also the first one)

Overcooked (also the second one)

Party Hard

Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince (and other series entries)

Train Valley

Minit

All of these are of varying genres so probably most of them aren‘t everyone‘s cup of tea, but maybe one or two are gems that you hadn’t heard about yet. List isn‘t conclusive, obviously, but I don‘t wanna spam too much.

Train Valley is surprisingly good. I like the combination of a geometry puzzle, planning which train to run when and real time pressure (you can pause, but you still have to multitask a lot).
