I've about $50 in my steam wallet and I'm wondering what this community would think are must-haves. I'm currently eyeing Satisfactory and Potion Craft and am worried I'm missing out on any great deals.

Resident Evil 7 is $8 its really fun but I can only play like an hour at a time or I feel like my heart will pop out of my chest.

Subnautica is $10 I haven't gotten it yet but heard it's really good.

Deep Rock Galactic $10

Valheim $12

Hollow Knight $8

Fallout New Vegas $7

Slay the Spire $9 rogue like deck builder

Sleeping dogs is a great game. I never liked any GTA games or anything else in that style but I fell in love with that game. Great combat, fun story, great atmosphere and and beautiful representation of Hong Kong.

Same, Sleeping Dogs was just so much more fun to me than other open world games. The martial arts combat was a lot more fun than the typical gun combat most open world games have, and Hong Kong felt more interesting and interactable than the typical open world city, and it just looking fantastic. Only thing is that it runs out of content way before something like GTA, but I'd rather have more fun with fewer hours than endless padding. Wish it had been more successful so we could have gotten a more expansive sequel.

+100 to Sleeping Dogs! Seconding everything you say - plus it has the pork bun vendor.

[–] MUGGY8464@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

A man who never eats pork buns is never a whole man!

Great list, fnv, hollow knight, valheim, slay the spire, subnautica and sleeping dogs are probably all in my top 20 pc games ever and maybe top 10 for single player.

If you could only play one of the rest which would you pick?

Subnautica is so much fun. I spent hours and my wrists on Sub 1 and 2.

[–] addie@feddit.uk 1 points 2 years ago

PC version has an 'keep going forward' button, takes the strain off. But yes; one of the finest games ever made, I think - do yourself a favour and go in blind.

[–] Silviecat44@vlemmy.net 1 points 2 years ago

I got to a point and then had no idea what to do next and stopped playing. I really want to finish it however

[–] MUGGY8464@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

Seems like it from what I've heard, it's currently sitting in my cart because I'm trying to decide which games I'm gonna have time for over ones that I can wait for the next sale.

[–] addie@feddit.uk 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Haven't played Castle Crashers / Death's Door, but otherwise that is a phenomenal selection of games - can't go wrong with any of those.

[–] MUGGY8464@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

Castle Crashers is a fun indie coop beat em up style game up to 4 players and is also couch coop. Deaths Door is a really fun action rpg but a bit short, def worth it tho when on sale.

[–] forvirreth@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Slay the Spire is SO worth it. There's so many hours of entertainment in that little gem.
