Yes, just don't expect the depth of the Souls games.
It's an combat RPG, meaning it's nothing but combat for the most part. The combat is actually pretty fun despite the game having an obvious low budget. It's very challenging tho. So challenging in fact that i never completely finished it (Chapter 4 out of 5) because my characters werent minmaxed enough.
So, only buy it if you want a challenge. But if you do, this game is recommended.
I think ill grab this also because of GAF,but I hope its not a Meatboy,Hotline Miami,Ori type of game,meaning its hard as hell because I have no patience for stuff like this anymore lol...and by looking at the trailer on Steam on the game page,it's hard to figure out what kind of game this is...I dont want to search more in case of spoilers or anything,so I am going blind...I mean what the hell,it's 10 bucks,no big deal if its one of those great games I am not skilled enough to play
It's not. There's one game path that has 2 incredibly hard boss fights but is very unlikely a first time player will end up on the path.

Why would you workshop?
Step #1: get Nexus Mod Manager
Step #2: go on Nexus
Step #3: ???
Step #4: Profit
I was thinking, last year we got One Finger Death Punch (and a year before that pac-man championship, no less fun), the game so immensely fun that I never have seen anyone post that it's not fun (totally was on my GOTY list last year, yeah), but we got nothing as fun this year or did we? I doubt I would have missed something like this, but maybe I did?
Stay away from Blackguards 2, unless you like your RPGs streamlined and somewhat guided (in which case there are better games to throw your cash at). Blackguards 1 on the other hand is a pretty brutal tactical RPG that (I think) does a grand job at throwing one interesting, varied and challenging battle encounter after another at you from the very get-go. A dizzying skill tree to build your characters around. The story is shite, but it's told in nothing but skip-overable interstitial cutscenes that never really get in the way even if you opt to indulge them. Dunno, it's not a flashy game at all, but if you specifically like turn-based combat and are willing to put some thought into a character build, you can do much worse (the real issue is that there are so many great turn-based games available right now). My main fault with the game is that it's heavily dice driven (being based on a pen&paper system) and I don't think it does a good job in making the player feel like they 'own' their roll, which can make bad RNG frustrating.
So my haul so far:
Grim Dawn (finally feature complete aw yiss)
The Next Penelope (holy fuck it's good, good arcade racer'y shooty fun with some amazing art and music)
Guacamelee Turbo because I wanted to replay the game and I figure I might as well get the extra content

That's the joke
Rocket League?
I would even agree if I bought it, but multi only disqualifies it
I haven't played it yet, but that game looks cool as chips.
I think I've seen 100% positive impressions for Invisible Inc (within the usual circles I run at least). Well deserved. That thing is laser-honed, precision design. It's gaddam beautiful.
Hm.. As someone with some experience in the pen & paper side of the dark eye, I have to say I hate min/maxing in this system
I guess I will give Blackguards 1 a shot anyways, 90% off is just too tempting and there are worse ways of spending 4 
Thanks guys!

Fine. I caved.
I got undertale instead of Civ V complete. Hope this shit is good otherwise I'll blame Jazz for everything.

Not an arcadey game, but everyone had fun with Contradiction.

Yeah, for that price it's worth it even if you run into a brick wall eventually. It does a good job ( 'good' for some mindsets) of pretty liberally throwing encounters at you where you try it and then go "what the fuck, no, that's crazy, fuck that" then you try it a few more times and 'solve the puzzle' so to speak and feel real good about yourself. That's a very specific perspective on difficult encounter design though, which isn't for everyone, especially when even your very best laid plans can frequently get scuppered by a tiny text box in the corner of the screen quietly whispering one failed roll after another.

Steam Winter-Sale - Die Kauftipps der GameStar-Redaktion
One of the biggest German gaming outlets (print&online) made some recommendations. What made me happy though was the shout-out to Enhanced Steam at the beginning

For those of you that already well familiar with the sales, and also bother to craft the holiday sale badges, you will know that trading for the cards that you need can sometimes be a pain. Usually I can find big Steam trading threads with people quickly trading amongst themselves, but not this time for some reason. So I quickly made my own here. Hopefully it will become more active, and be as useful as previous card trading threads in past sales.
Ah ok great,thanks...ill grab this and Grimm Dawn...
Should I wait for the Android version? I feel like that would be a good game for on the go.
I forgot I need three step authentication now for trading.

There a summary for the non-German speakers?
Yeah, agreed. That game is really pretty from a "shit, why didn't I think of that?" perspective. It does what it sets out to do exceptionally well, with some really elegantly simple (clever!) systems.

So killing floor 2...worth it? and what game is it comparable too?

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.

Not during this sale, no - super-unlikely.
Somewhat similar to Left 4 Dead, but more holding your ground oriented rather than forward momentum like that series.
The first game is still popular and been on sale a million times so you might be able to find a copy cheap somewhere.
