Haven't played starbound that much but I enjoyed terraria more as starbound was more linear in the beggining, forcing a more tiered launch (at least in the early access/first patches). Meanwhile terraria has lots of content from all the patches.
Another games you may enjoy and are cheaper are:
Dungeon of the endless - a really nice roguelite
Enter the gungeon- a reaaally amazing roguelite with a new expansion soonish (should have gone by now :( )
Lego Marvel Superheroes - probably my favourite lego game with lots of marvel superheroes, kinda like the batman 3 lego game. Lots of things to do :D

Have Gungeon but I'm not a fan of roguelikes/-lites/-whatever.

What is there to do in Lego Marvel? Debating between that and Terraria now.
 
Merry Christmas SteamGAF. I hope everyone gets a game or two that they want and the time off to enjoy playing a bit of them.
 
So, there is still no way to search games in steam store by release date? For example, i'm looking to buy titles from 2007-2008 that i still don't have

It is kinda of an open world with different missions like all the lego games. The game style is third person action and it is really easy to play and it is perfect for coop with even people that dont like videogames normally (also the humour it has is amazing). The theme this time is marvel superheroes so it has imo a great variety and it actually has xmen unlike the newer lego marvel which is more like the cinematic universe. You should try to see the gameplay of it. Otherwise i will say it is around 10-12h if you dont try to 100% it which would add a little bit more at least until you unlock the cheats which make it easier.
 
Gamebillet has it for 8£ (9.39€). At this price, it is a no-brainer. Use Wintersale coupon to save 10%. I picked it up on PS4 day 1 and it was worth it. Picked it up again for this price. Other than some story aspects being weak, the gameplay is one of this generations best.

This is tempting, although I know I won't be playing it any time soon. Is this the best price the game has ever been at?
 
Happy holidays ya'll

This is the lowest I've ever seen and far lower than Steam. Given how weak the GBP is compared to other major currencies, this is an ideal time (at least for a Canadian or American) to pick it up.

Any good Tycoon games similar to Prison Architect? I want something simple and gripping to sink my teeth!

Rimworld and Factorio are the best tycoon or simulation type games I have played (recently). Both in early access, but seem well worth the price of admission. I have like 65 hours in Factorio and just getting into Rimworld.
 
Is there no official controller support for the first few Assassin's Creed games?

I'm also seeing that they don't play well with Windows 10, is that true?
 
Bundlejunk! Merry Christmas!

I've played all the Assassin's Creed games up to III with a controller. Just remember to turn on the controller BEFORE launching the game. Early controller support on PC was kinda iffy.
 
Alright... I have a powerful rig and I'm looking for a fun, beautiful Assassain's Creed experience.

Syndicate, Unity, or neither? Graphics are HUGE for me but I really need some fun gameplay to compliment it.
 
I started and finished Tengami tonight. It's a nice light puzzle/adventure game. The art and music are fantastic and the puzzles are thought-provoking enough (though they do reuse a few of them). It's only an hour and a half, so I recommend it to those who want something they can finish in one sitting.

Naturally the music is good, it's done by

The Mr Freeze bit, is some of the most emotional content for Batman

Played some DLC on PS4 back around release. Short forgettable stuff not up to par with the main game... In fact, I double dipped for the PC version just yesterday and opted not to pay the extra couple bucks to include the season pass.

Dayum, seems a little divided, I'll hold on on buying it for a couple days since I'm still thinking on the other thing I want to buy. The Ys series is looking tempting.
 
Amazon is running a digital sale with prices that mirror Steam's. The upside is that you can get that sweet 3% cashback if you have an Amazon card and you can donate to a charity with Amazon Smile.

Some standouts I found while skimming were Life is Strange for $5, DOOM for $20, and Tomb Raider (the reboot) for $5.

Well, Unity looks better but gameplay in Syndicate is better. Guess it depends which is more important to you, as well as the different settings.

Yeah I just checked historical prices on Isthereanydeal and this is even lower than anything shown there. I think I'll bite. The price is guaranteed to remain the same until the end of the deal timer on the page, right?
 
Just purchased Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. I think after this, I'm done with the winter sale. Then again, I said the same thing after the first time.
