Only bought 2 games so far; Hollow Knight & Planescape: Torment: Enhanced Edition. Nothing else has really caught my attention for the price, that I don't already own.
Just finished playing Hollow Knight though, which has turned out to be one of my fav games of the year tbh.

I had the same problem but I already had a phone, just that I didn't use it anymore, so all I needed was a SIM card. It is a pity Valve doesn't offer a standalone authenticator (like Blizzard does: I had one for my WoW account). It says on Steam's support site that they are considering it but that consideration appears to be stuck in limbo!
Hah! I have 40 in my wallet (bought for 30) and I've bought nothing during the sale yet.
Gonna use it for Cold Steel

Although I bought and played Dishonored on release, I forget the plot and dont even remember if I finished it. Can I play Dishonored 2 as a standalone or should I replay Dishonored 1 first?
A Story About My Uncle is short, but really enjoyable game. Some locations are really beautiful. Took me around 3 hours to beat.

Ah, that's unfortunately one of the areas that may disappoint you, at least for Sophie. Carpe Fulgur and the original developers really did a bang-up job on Recettear. If you own a PS3 or Vita I'd recommend one of the Arland trilogy instead, but I doubt those will come to PC anytime soon.

Got $52 left, have Nier Automata and the Techromancer in my cart, just gotta decide if I actually want to play either anytime soon.

I have my eye on The Hunter: Call of the Wild
Looks good but dont know about the shitty DLC practice of charging for the 4X4

I would play Ori first (I just played both in the past 2 weeks), it is much shorter and once you play Hollow Knight it will be tough to right away go back to Ori as it is much less deep. Ori is amazing but its more of a platformer.
I'm stuck with the Necromancer in D3, send help. I need D3 rehab.
Duly noted, thank you!

Actually the most imortant story bits pertaining to Dishonored 2 are in the DLC for Dishonored 1, but no you don't really need to play it to get what's going on, especially if you play as Emily.

Alright cool, I will try the "Demo" this weekend before I buy.
This sale needs to end already, Im bored so I end up just buying more things.
Heh.
I still haven't bought anything for myself.

it really is. I bought $50 worth of games that were all on my wishlist, installed and played them all for a bit to get a feel of whether I'd enjoy them or not. Refunded two of them. I now have $25 sitting in my Steam Wallet and I can't find anything to buy now. I wouldnt be surprised if I end up refunding a couple more games.

The only time I've used it is when steam ran out of keys and I still couldn't install the game after waiting a couple of days.

Anyone still have a PUBG 25% off voucher by chance? I have an extra steam copy of Half-life 2 and The Lost Coast I can trade for it.

Debating either getting No Man's Sky or Everspace. Anyone have any thoughts on either? Both look appealing to me.

Oh man, what a blast from the past. I completely forgot about it--I've actually had it for years.
I recall dropping it because of some terrifying bug related to AMD cards, which I had at the time.
Wait, what?! Man... Paradox has gone full Lawful Evil so quickly.
I hope this brings out the best of Paradox--endless support--rather than their more recent, greedy & unscrupulous side. Triumph's a great studio and they deserve the best.

Thank you all for your suggestions, I'll be sure to take a look!

Thank you kindly, I really appreciate it!!
FTL
Spelunky
Binding of Isaac
Broforce

Crimsonland
Risk of Rain
And if you like that sort of hardcore multplayer shooters:
Insurgency - Has great co-op as well as competitive
Rising Storm 2 - Vietnam
Squad - As realistic as you can get while still being a "game"

Man, that kind of sucks. I am tired of Paradox's DLC and pricing policies. I still have to pick up AoW3 last expansion so I will probably grab it on this sale even though it's not great for an older game, and that would be it.
It's too bad Obsidian is part of general Paradox fiascos.

Shadowrun Trilogy is only $10 and Dragonfall/Hong Kong are amazing RPGs with an awesome setting.

This seems to be the most common summer sale combo.

So true. I bought them both among other things.
Yeah I'm hoping that's over with going forward. I like Paradox more than most but it's pretty apparent that there's something of a tide turning against them in parts of the community.

You can spend hundreds of hours in the bolded alone. I spent 150+ hours in FTL, and I know a friend who has 300+ hours in Binding of Isaac. I have a dozen of so hours in Spelunky, but that can easily go up.
Don't forget to check or Dead Cells as well, or Mount & Blade Warband for excellent game time to price to ratio.

People must have been buying Fata Morgana, because it is lower in the ranking. From 3rd to 10th rank in a week. Edit: Actually, it should be a bit more complex to analyze.

There are cutscenes in between levels that help recap the story from Dishonored 1. Sometimes the writing feel heavy handed as if the cutscenes do nothing else but recapping.
You are being dishonored. Blah blah dark evil god, blah. Get super powers for free (possibly at the cost of you soul). You get your revenge and kill/non-terminally get rid of a couple of "important people". The end.
For the DLC: There be witches. They don't achieve anything.* The End.

ha, I do remember the game was fun though. That is what really matters.

Well, it has 150 reviews, among which 100% are positive ones. On top of that, it is a VR game, so its player base is small. In the end, it has the two features of a hidden gem.
Maybe a better approach would be to find out hidden gems given a tag/genre. I think someone pointed it out at some point after I published the ranking. The idea would be that the potential playerbase of each game sharing a same tag/genre would be comparable, so that it would make more sense to favor games with high ratings and small number of players among games sharing that tag/genre.

It has been a week since the sales started, so I have updated my automatic listing of hidden gems, and I have filtered out VR, Anime, Visual Novel, and Free To Play tags:
Ty is in my Top 10 favourite games of all time, and I can vouch for Wuppo - playing it at the moment and loving it so far.

Why do I want to buy all the COD games?
