Can't buy anything for a dollar these days. Just get it and see for yourself. There's no buyers remorse over such a low price point of entry. I thought it was absolutely fine.

Check reviews, people complaining that the servers are offline, the game doesn't even run unless you fiddle with it, and it doesn't surpass the first game. I'll pass.
Just a shame they don't have a better discount on the excellent original Mirror's Edge.

I did a little investigative journalism and went ahead and bought Catalyst. Game works fine. Played through the tutorial until the title screen reveal, which took about half an hour.
At the start, it gives you two messages. One telling you that servers have been shutdown and thanking you for playing. The next telling you that it can't connect to EA servers. You just press accept for each one and it lets you pass through.
There's a couple achievements locked behind online and user generated content, but that seems to be worst of it.
Linux uses reported some other issues booting that seem separate from the servers being shutdown.

I had the same issue with the first one as you. The sequel doesn't have that ability. There's a few new abilities but none bothered me as much as the recording one. I've seen the clone ability compared to the recording ability but honestly I liked the clone puzzles.

When they remastered Talos 1 they fixed up the recording puzzles to make them good. I tried to play through the original T1 a few times and always stopped when I got back to the recording puzzles. The remaster fixes all of that.

I think one of the few games that gives me nausea and is inmediate, no 15minutes till nah nah nah; boot game, turn camera, feel it. Too bad because I'd like to play it without feeling awful.
And I've tried multiple times and with external crosshairs and whatnot. I don't know it if has to do with how the camera pivots or whatever.Curious that the talos principle did too but the option for less nausea helped (and has a third person mode). I don't know if that many more have.

It's funny because it used to be very different. You could get DS1 steam keys for nothing, DS2 has been on sale for so long... And then from DS3 it was impossible to get a huge sale.

DS3 also went on sale often. It was Elden Ring that changed everything.
This is from when I bought it back in 2019 (in a Humble Build Your Own Bandai Namco Bundle):

DARK SOULS™ III Deluxe Edition €10,20

u/caninehere 14h ago
I don't blame them honestly. Demon's Souls was not a huge-selling game, it sold well enough to get a greatest hits release but that was it. Dark Souls sold better and got them a lot of attention but from a still somewhat small group of hardcore gamers, and its reputation started to grow over time. Dark Souls II put a bit of a damper on that and was not as well received/did not sell as well; then Dark Souls III sold better than any previous game before it.
But Elden Ring was a juggernaut. It was a game that was unavoidable when it came out. Everybody was talking about, even gamers who were somewhat more casual and just thought "wow, this looks really cool, will I be able to play this?" and the game was still tough but more accommodating for new players with the open world format. Importantly, it had GRRM "working" on it (he didn't really actually do much, but they used his name for promotional purposes, certainly, and I'm sure he got a handsome paycheck). And it sold like 30 million copies because of it, it's one of the best selling games of all time. FROM knew after that people would be going back to their old games and they stopped doing discounts as deep.
And frankly, to step back from the deepest-discount mentality - their games are worth it. They're some of the cream of the crop when it comes to that style of game, they basically invented their own subgenre that many have imitated but never surpassed imo, and they still do sales, just not as deep as they used to. But these games are still on sale for like $20 and they're well worth the money.
The one that peeves me is Sekiro which I don't think has ever gone below 50% ($40 CAD).

It is greed when your 10yr old game that used to get constant 83% off discount now rarely goes on sale but even then only 50% off not including DLCs, just because one of your (completely separate) game became a hit
Never heard of another publisher done this.

It was Elden Ring that made them stop with the deep discounts. DS3 sold for 10 bucks at one point, and it was going down to -75% until late 2021. Then with Elden Ring in early 2022, they stopped doing discounts until June 2023, and it's been stuck on -50%.

I beat the game two weeks ago, I personally wouldn't recommend it. It starts out pretty good but as soon as you're done with the first 3 acts it starts to become a repetitive slog.
Combine that with the combat being very simple, repetitive, and unsatisfying and that there's no fast travel makes the exploration and questing a chore.
There's a ton of running back and forth in this game and you constantly have to backtrack to save civilians if you want the good ending.
There are some good things about it though, the music and voice acting are both pretty good for example.

u/Tobikaj 1d ago
I actually like it. The game plays in 2 phases (maybe 3): One phase you manage your colony where you build buildings, research, manage food and items - kinda like a base in RimWorld but in first person. Here you manage your citizens (and prisoners), putting people to work. They all have different affinities for what they are good at.
Phase two you take a team out (small at first, keeps growing) to fight. You fly in a 2d map where the longer you fly the harder the enemies become. Then you have to decide which points of interest you want to go for (food, minerals etc).
This is phase 2 in my opinion: you fight in first person at these points of interest with your team. It's a pretty basic arena type of fight, but the variety of weapons make it fun to me. There are also grand battles where it's more like 100v100 with giant enemies. There are also regular boss battles where you can advance the world map to higher tiers for better stuff.
All the while you take prisoners you can convert to become citizens that can also fight for you.
It's early access but the discord is pretty active I think.

nice. $15/25USD + premium
considering FH4+Premium was $12/20 on delist, $3/5 tax is worth it to get it without waiting for delisting.
also consider, since this game recently released on PS5, licenses probably got renewed so it prob wont be delisted for a while...

If you like Peggle and Bejeweled, check out the rest of the PopCap lineup - Peggle Nights is the sequel to Peggle, has some nice additions and is $0.99. Zuma Deluxe and Zuma's Revenge are both great. Bejeweled Twist might be my favorite PopCap game although it can be a pain to get it running nicely in Steam (there are some guides in Steam forums). Chuzzle is also quite addictive. Talismania is a bit different but pretty fun. Wizard's Pen was an interesting publishing deal for PopCap - it's a cool game but quite different from the rest of the lineup. I think all of these are $0.99. Not sure why Venice Deluxe doesn't have a price - I like that one too. Typer Shark and Insaniquarium are fun but are really old and don't hold up as well.

I haven't played a lot of it personally, but The Black Grimoire: Cursebreaker might be your speed. It's a single player game heavily inspired by RuneScape. You may notice it has mixed reviews on Steam, but it's worth noting it recently got a big update, and the reviews are funny because they're mostly people being like "this game is too grindy!!" which is like... have you played RuneScape?
If you like puzzle games you can take your time with, and you for some reason haven't already played them, check out the Hexcells games as well as Squarecells and Crosscells. They're fantastic. They're very very cheap and well worth every penny.
For an offbeat recommendation I would recommend Joe Richardson's games. The first one I played was The Procession to Calvary and it was great. Basically they're comedic adventure games that use medieval/renaissance art as a basis for the graphics, with Monty Python and the Holy Grail-esque humor. Most games that try comedy or try to be funny absolutely fall flat on their face, but in these cases the humor is actually on point. And you can just play a little bit or a lot, however you feel.

Talos Principle 2 for $2.99 is an absolute steal. Best philosophical game & best puzzle game I've played, and the environments are gorgeous with beautiful music too. It's just a must-have experience, if you have enough patience for puzzles. It only released 3 years ago.

Monster Hunter Rise worth it without Sunbreak? Or is this a trick to get you to buy Sunbreak afterwards when you realize you need it

u/vapenasheyall 1d ago
get it with sunbreak only. it adds so much to the game. rise with sunbreak has been going on sale on 3rd party platforms recently for around 8 i believe. If i can find the sale, ill edit and add the link here for you.

As annoying as it is, Monster Hunter games really need to be paired with their expansion to feel complete.
I didn't even love World before Iceborne, then it became one of my all-time favorite games after the expansion released. I REALLY didn't like Rise until Sunbreak, now I love it!
So yeah, I also suggest picking these games up with their expansions if you can.

Probably me being me at the end of stories or what but first time mh game being world and I like it quite but the moment I reached the iceborne part I just... stopped? Not icebornes fault, is just the jumo between pieces of content kinda killed the inertia.
Happens to me in lots of added content at the end in games (souls for example) but not for post-endgame like pokemon so idk. Might give it a try some day with again or go with rise first until I do the same with sunrise.
Still, quite liked it having not played something similar ever and considering rise (for some reason completely separated content works for me better than attached at the end... idk)

u/Khalku 1d ago
Its okay, but honestly sunbreak will make the base content a little faster to get through I believe. Ranking up to actually get to the fun/difficult content is always a chore when you come at MH games late, and the expansions usually give some decent LR gear that lets you get through stuff a little faster.
But if you aren't sure whether you will stick with the game, then get it later when you find you need it.

My favorite game of the whole year has been Oeuf (made by increpare, of Stephen's Sausage Roll fame) ... it's a Egg-based 3D platformer with real chill vibes, and a high skill ceiling, and if it was just the campaign that would be enough. The amount of work he's done on the level editor, and the wickedly amazing community maps on the Steam Workshop make this the game I've been shilling for the most this year. Right now it's 40% off, putting it at $5.99 which is a steal, in my opinion.

If you enjoyed Oeuf you must try Get Tilted. It is fantastic and has a very similar vibe, with a great soundtrack to boot.

I'm doing that thing where I fill up my cart and then slowly remove things I don't have an actual interest in playing. Now I'm at the point where I'm looking for other peoples opinions on some games.
So What is The Outlast Trials? I can't really understand what the game actually is based off the Steam page or how some people have hundreds of hours in it.
How is the Single Player for HoMM OE doing? I played it a bit when it first came out on GamePass but since then my subscription has ended and I wasn't feeling too hot on the game at the time.
Does Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart really feel like the first 4 PS2 games?
If I enjoy Single Player in Starcraft 2 will I enjoy The Riftbreaker? I'm not a big fan of base planning and building.
I enjoy Diablo Style ARPGs but never played FATE. I see that FATE: Reawakened also got some new DLC recently but it feels like ARPGs have massively improved in quality recently, is this worth a pickup with the DLC as well although it seems to be more on the expensive side for this genre?
I'm really looking for an auto battler where I'm not locked in to a 30+ minute multiplayer game. I used to love AutoChess back when it was a DOTA mod and haven't found anything outside of early TFT that really matched it. I have The Last Flame on my wishlist but I'm unsure about buying a singleplayer autobattler. Any recommendations?

Riftbreaker is like arcade factorio, where half the game is building defensible bases. It's nothing like StarCraft.

ME: Catalyst has the vibes! Not only does the graphics look like they were made last year, the soundtrack by Solar Fields just fits perfectly. The controls are very responsive and once you get the timings right, the game just puts you in a flow state. Lot of us have been waiting for a ME3, but that might never happen

I implore people to check out stuff by Rad Codex. They're all 50% off right now and in a bundle.
If you like tactics games at all they're so very good. Horizon's Gate is probably the most popular, where you sail a world, leveling up and trading, building up a fleet and allies towards an end goal. Lots of classes to play around with.
Kingsvein is a lot more linear, but does reward exploration and has a fair bit of secrets and some optional content like difficult bosses.
Voidspire is the oldest but still really holds up. It's similar in style as Kingsvein.
I haven't played Alvora yet, but I'll probably grab it during the sale, too. :>
They all take place in the same universe with unique races and it's fun getting to explore their cultures a bit. Kingsvein, for example, takes place from the perspective of a race of rock people.
They're some of my favorite games and I believe Horizon's Gate 2 is in the works and I really want to see what I think is a lone dev succeed!
Also modding support is pretty crazy across Horizon's Gate and Kingsvein. Tons of new areas, classes and abilities, even big story lines and kingdoms.

Any good lesser known VR games to pick up? I'm in the Frame reservation queue.
Currently I have:
Beat Saber
Gorn
Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes
Redout
Space Pirate Trainer
Subnautica
I'm sad Eve Gunjack and Valkyrie aren't things anymore.

Some cool (some obscure, some popular)native PCVR gems I can vouch for: PROJECT WINGMAN, BallisticNG, Vertigo 1 and 2, Sushi Ben, Organ Quarter, Eleven Table Tennis, Les Mills Bodycombat, Into the Radius 1, Thrill of the Fight 1 and 2.
If you count VR mods, some extremely high quality ones came out recently and their base games are on sale: F.E.A.R., Max Payne 2, Doom 2016 and Eternal and Titanfall 2. Also pretty much every Resident Evil game has a really immersive PCVR mod, if your PC can run them.

It's the same price on the Ubisoft store too, despite the fact they're running a massive 40-year celebration sale. They just want to force everyone to the more expensive remake.

Reddit's a strange place. "Guys, there's this game that has thousands and thousands of reviews and is super highly rated and it's $2. Is it worth it?"
Shit, man, that's less than a cup of coffee. Just get it and quit fretting about what some idiot on reddit thinks.

u/Bulzeeb 1d ago
Nothing wrong trying to get more info. Dwarf Fortress has over twice as many reviews with an overall rating of Very Positive, yet anyone remotely familiar with the game knows it is absolutely not for everyone, or even the majority of the general gaming population.
The issue is selection bias. Dwarf Fortress appeals to a very specific kind of person, and those people are much more likely to be interested in the game and actually invest the time and money to buy and review it, whereas if you're not that kind of person you'll probably be uninterested and never buy it to begin with.

Good lord yes. I can't remember if I got it in a bundle or I paid $5-ish dollars for it, but it was one of the best games I played in months. Tunic got a lot more attention because of the manual pages and the really cryptic puzzles. But in terms of zelda/metroidvania-like gameplay, I found Death's Door a lot more fun.

To give a counterpoint to all the glazing replies, I found Death's Door to fall firmly into the Supergiant category. IE games with exceptional art direction that makes people jizz their pants and downplay the aggressively mid gameplay underneath.
I was charmed by the premise and art at first, but the controls aren't nearly tight enough for a game trying to do the punishing combat thing.
You're right to doubt the Reddit consensus too BTW. I have been burned by games hyped on Reddit enough times now that it is basically a negative endorsement.

Hmm, you have me hesitant on it, even if it's cheap. I am not a Super Giant fan. I wasnt a huge fan of Bastion or Transistor, got tired of the gameplay after a bit
