If you really want it, you can just pay $10 bucks for the Sonic Humble going on which includes Lost World. 4.99 bucks lower than this sale price. I didn't play too much of it myself but from what I've seen the first few stages are neat but then it gets to be annoying.

There's one section with jump scares (which is total BS, as the rest of the game is more of a general, spooky/foreboding vibe) but you can cheese the "scary" part by just running through the area with your head down.
I'd still highly recommend it, even with the unnecessary jump-scare part.
so this might be a little out there for this thread, but hey, its such a ridiculous deal I might aswell.
The Marvel Heroes Captain America Civil War starter pack is 90% off, not sure if thats a price mistake, but it comes with both Cap and Ironman and 2 extra costumes for both, for 2.29
that is a insane deal if you know the prices of heroes in that game (hell Iron Man is one of the most expensive heroes in fact) and if you ever wanted to give it a try, this is a hell of a way to do it (especially since both are quite fun too)

Well it better go through, as they've definitely charged me. I opened up steampowered.com in a separate tab and they've emptied my $50 steam wallet credit. It's been sitting on this screen for nearly 20 minutes now. No purchase confirmations in my e-mail or anything thus far. Argh.
Spelunky and The Binding of Isaac are must-buys if you're even remotely interested in rogue-likes.
Cool, then that means I'd get an even wider choice of titles on the final day instead.
Huh. Not that I'm complaining, it's just dumbfounded me a bit.
Still not that sure whether to go for it. I haven't played Skyrim since 2012 and I seriously doubt the remaster is going to draw me back in. I'll likely never get to the point in a replay where I can play Dragonborn anyway.

Binding of Isaac
Binding of Isaac is the best out there in my opinion. Start with Afterbirth as it includes all of the content from the original game, but ports the engine to win32 from Flash.

Can't complete order transaction... STEAM TAKE MY MONEY!

They're probably not thinking of a discount because they can't fathom anyone wanting to play it NOT having it at this point.
never forget
Fair enough, haha.
I had it on PS Plus on my PS3, which has now gone the way of a red death screen.
I figured if I pick it up on Steam, I can shift it from that extinct backlog to my other backlog.

Sadly no. I'm waiting for fans to make mods that improve the gameplay.

I can recommend SOMA if it looks like your thing. Best story/experience I've had in a game. Would have been better with fewer monsters though.

Wait, so Divinity OS is 50% off until July 4th then correct? That would mean i have time until then to decide whether to grab it or go with Pillars of Eternity instead (provided it too will go on sale until then) I only have time for ONE super epic WRPG right now.
Really? Any idea why it's showing up? I'd have never noticed since I own all my copies on console (360/X1).
Either way.

should we get the Wii U version instead? what are the pros/cons of each port?
Contradiction will never go on sale...
The game has interesting mechanics, but the game does not do enough with them. The level design is rather bland and samey. Still a fun game, certainly worth picking up at half price.
Thank you for that, that's about the price I'd expect it to be during an actual sale.

FTL: Faster Than Light. Play on Easy mode to get the hang of things, then do Normal. You can pause/unpause at anytime to set up your actions when things get hectic.

Well, it's really not a horror game or anything. Exploration and story are in the foreground. But full disclosure... there is one slightly scary part later on in the game. xD
Probably not. Wouldn't want to support shitty practises like that anyway.

33% off Street Fighter V? I have been waiting for a sale since launch day. Now its here, I think I'll keep waiting.
I enjoy the Borderlands games for what they are, the writing in the 3 shooters is pretty not great (it has its moments though) but the gameplay is fun for what it is. I keep hoping that Gearbox hires the Tales writers to write Borderlands 3. I know it will never happen though.
The cinematic story mode and Ibuki should release in the next week if that interests you at all.
Great recommendation too.
It was bundled on BundleStars once for $5.49 with a fair few games. Worth full price, though. Jenks will overact his way into your life.
Jesus, it has been an hour and a half and the store is still sooo slow and getting 503 errors.
I could at least add stuff to my cart by this hour last year during the Winter sale (I remember it because I was also at work checking the deals).
Officially, it's the worst sale ever...

Or alternatively, buy Doom, shove every game you are playing out of the way, play Doom, have massive amounts of fun.
SHIT, now I would be forever anticipating that moment when I do play the game, haha. Anyway, I'm a big fan of the whole detective mystery shebang, so well, jump scare or not... here's my money.
Thanks!

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.
The 12 Labours of Hercules games are $0.50 each, not bad
It starts off ok but gets shittier and shittier the farther you get into it. Not a very good game, but I haven't played the PC version, so I don't know how different it is.
The gameplay in Borderlands also replaces any reliance on sleep aid medication.
Not necessarily. Some publishers won't have sales until later in the sales window and some will only have them for a day or two. But, the sales you see will be the lowest price they'll be during the sale, so be sure to check the individual store page to see when the sale ends for that particular game so you can buy accordingly.
Especially worth it with the new Asimov patch dropping in the next week or so. Lots of balance and QoL changes, apparently.
One Way Heroics. Very easy to get into, and if you don't get bored of it, it also has a big expansion

Yep! 20% is decent for a niche game that came out in May I think it was.
