The Steam winter sales are here, up to the 4rth of January.

What game did you enjoy playing and want to share with the community, and why?

It's like a mini (or a bit larger) review for the people in the community to discover your loved game, and get it for a smaller price. Also remember to share a link to the store page to help people find the game.

The game must be on sale currently and must not be a free to play game, or what would be point of this post.

The release date doesn't matter. Neither the sale amount. If you enjoyed the game, it should be shared.

You can put the game type/tags at the beginning of your comment if you wish so, it may help other people.

Please a single game per comment if you post a review.

I'll start in the comments.

Dungeons of the endless is beutiful. A unique roguelike thats more strategic than action based, but gives your choices real weight. You will have to lose people and you will make mistakes to complete the missions, but every one of them leaves you with a sense of impact.

I get the same vibes from it as FTL, the sense of weighty choices. A great buy at $2.50

There is a new "action focused" sequel to dungeon of the endless whose name i forget because its an entirely forgetable game. It fully eliminates meaningful gameplay in trade for mediocre combat. It can be skipped entirely.

I think Dungeons of the Endless also has one of the best soundtracks in recent years. I like to have it on shuffle when I'm doing yoga.

I've definitely been eyeing Solasta since BG3. Is it combat heavy enough that it could be a podcast game? It's unclear how story focused the base game is, and I get the sense that player made content is the draw.

There's plenty of combat. If you've played BG3 I imagine you'll enjoy it.

The caveat is that it's made by an indie studio, so the cutscenes aren't AAA, but I think the game is amazing regardless, and that includes the expansion packs.

+1 for Solasta. I was playing it on Xbox with friends and loved it. There's also the option for user made adventures I believe, which opens up so many possibilities.

I've been eyeing Solasta for a while, but I'm curious, does the base game have enough meat to it, or is this a case where the base game is a bit lacking and really starts to shine in the dlc? I've read some reviews to this effect and would like to hear another opinion before I purchase it.

[-] FlashMobOfOne@beehaw.org 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

I loved all of it, personally. Is there anything in particular you're looking for that I can comment on, in terms of RPG's?

My only two complaints with Solasta was that I felt the random encounters with traveling got annoyingly frequent and the cutscenes are definitely indie, but I enjoyed the game as a whole so much I stopped caring about either.

But I can confirm that the DLC's have a ton of meat too.
