    Looking through the sale trying to find ANY game that holds an interest for me… Any suggestions? Seems like a lot of trash lately.

      It really depends on what you like.

      Satisfactory was a lot of fun for me but others might not like it.

      Stalker 2 the same.

      I’m a big Total War nut also.

      And Veilguard was good if a little watered down.

        Okay well part of the problem is that I’ve already bought most of the games that seem interesting. Already 100% done with Satisfactory, great game!

        Burnt out on total war games, not sold on Stalker 2 yet.

          Haha ok well over Christmas I usually play KotOR one or two (with the big fan made mods and sometimes difficulty mods).

          But this year I’m doing a Rogue Trader playthrough instead.

          Also Stalker Gamma may make an appearance but that’s a whole thing to set up (if you don’t want to install mods etc).

          In terms of Total War burnout I recommend trying the SFO mod (big overhaul of balance and mechanics) on WH3. It for sure breathes new life into the older factions.

          And for some strategic top-down Real-time-with-pause fun, try Doorkickers or Doorkickers 2. Game 1 is older but a full release, whereas game 2 is at the end of a loooong early access, but it still my preference. Probably game 1 is <$10 though.

          If you’re still looking for something, just point me in a direction and I’ll send more. This is my jam.

            Ended up picking up 6 titles this sale:

            Peglin

            Cobalt Core

            Cyberpunk

            Cult of the Lamb

            Animal Well

            Rabit & Steel

            So far I’ve only played the first 3, loving Peglin and Cobalt Core, not far enough into Cyberpunk to make an assessment.

                I do appreciate your suggestions, and I will give them a look. Happy holidays!

                Edit: If I may give a “retro” gaming suggestion of my own. Anybody who likes arcade style games should go immediately buy “Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved”. As it is my 100/10 arcade style game recommendation. It’s pure game, no story, no bullshit. 3 lives, 3 bombs, and a dream.

      I’ve gone through spells like this. I currently have more games to buy and play than I have time, but I’m a bit behind.

      What do you like?

      I saw in another comment you played satisfactory. Check out Shapez 2. Its a no pressure fun factory game.

            I have it! I can’t get out of ACT 1 without wanting to reroll a new character. I’ve done this at least 5 times so far… haha

            Sundry: Of various kinds; several.
