Apparently its the big summer sale...

Crash bandicoot was cheap for nostalgia's sake and I think one of the many star wars games (battle front 2) is cheap.

Anything else worth getting?

I see forza horizon 5 is half price, not sure how good it is compared to 4. I like 4 mostly because its a tiny version of the UK

It has begun.

I've already spent £50.

Bought S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2, which I've been meaning to buy for a few months, Schedule 1 and a indie called Aviasembly which was only £6.

LOL, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. (ok, can we just call it Stalker) came out in 2007 so it was quite a while ago.

I've been sitting on the fence with DayZ for years, quite literally, waiting for it to go down to 10-15 quid. Checking the historic pricing on https://gg.deals shows it's never dipped that low so that's ended up on my stupidly large "I'll get around to playing it at some point" catalogue. I'm not even a fan of multiplayer games, but it's always piqued my interest.

That, Zompiercer and Cribbish (stumbled across by accident) were my other two lapses. Still, for a grand total of £36 that's me having done better than previous years.

7 days to die is supposed to have a large stable update on Monday which will have me returning to that, so many games, so little time (and occasionally motivation for particular genres).

Tower Dominion is on sale. I have never wanted to play a tower defence game before but after watching one game on youtube I bought it a week ago and now its on sale. Its a great little game especially for 11 quid at the moment.

Rogue Trader looks to be about 50% off, it's a huge game and really very good (top-down isometric RPG)

Tainted Grail is about 20% off and is a fantastic Skyrim-esque affair

60% off Death Stranding starts bringing it into "Meh OK I'll give it a shot" territory for me

Just playing through rogue trader , it is big and very confusing at first especially like me if you know nothing about warhammer .

It is good but there are better turn based rpg’s.

Automobilista 2 is going for £3.49. That is a lot of game for the money!

Just bought that along with a whole load of split screen games as my daughter is now wanting to play on things other than Roblox. Humans Fall Flat is surprisingly good fun split screen, for £20 picked up a whole load of stuff which should see the summer out.

Also picked up Monster Hunter on CDkeys for £10 with the expansion. Compared to consoles games, Steam is such good value. The latest Mario kart looks fab, for the cost of a Switch 2 and game I could probably buy enough games off Steam to keep me busy for the next 5 years of gaming and still not get through them all!!

Oh Hitman is an absolute steal at the current price, and the latest DLC is free with some new game mechanics, probably one the most played games in my Steam library.

You may be tempted to spend another £60 to get more tracks/cars/scenarios over the base game.

Gears tactics is great , so warhammer is very different as a lot of your action points are spent buffing and debuffing and it takes a while to get your head around that and the dynamics of stuff is very complicated , oh and then you have turn based space combat which is like a separate game , and you also have to manage colonies , there is a ridiculous amount to do .
I’m on act 3 and still no idea what some of the stuff is or does …’put these gloves on and increase carouse ‘ for example but carouse is not a talent or ability that appears anywhere on your characters so no idea what is going on with quite a bit of it .
It’s decent and they are supporting it with loads of extra content you can buy .
I started it because it’s included in Xbox live ,wouldn’t have bought it though but maybe at half price iyou will get decent value from it .
