I bought Orc must die 2. 1 was a very fun game where you place traps to kill orcs. It gets challenging in later levels too.

MODERATORS
"Path of Achra" for a pretty traditional roguelike that focuses on short runs and setting up "broken builds". Highly rated and pretty cheap.
"Halls of Torment" It's vampire survivors x diablo. My favorite of the genre beside the "original". Not sure how hidden it is though.
"Stone Story RPG" Not really sure how to describe this one. ASCII art sorta-idle game?
"Siralim Ultimate" mystery dungeon type monster rearing rpg with some wild synergies and buildcrafting. Tonnes of ways to "break the game"
You bastards! My budget is completely (censured) up. Just purchased these from this discussion:
- Technobabylon
- Prey
- The Age of Decadence
- A Hat in Time
- Risk of Rain 2
- Risk of Rain
- Gunpoint
- Death's Door
- Road 96
- Super Blood Hockey
- Demon Truck
- Distance
Argh!!!!
Risk of Rain 2 is great. so addictive
I found it so hard I couldn't enjoy at all. Really, the premises were good, but every time I was completely overwhelmed by enemies! I guess I was playing very badly and wrong
That’s the balance of it…the longer you take the more upgrades you’ll need to survive but you don’t want to instantly activate the teleporter since the boss will be tough
When I stop plugging Paradise Killer it will be because I am dead and in the ground. Absolute masterpiece of theming and plot. It's a mystery game without the clunky logic puzzles-- just your patience and intuition. And my God, the music. I've been obsessed for over a year now.
Looks weird, I'm in!
I've already got a Steam Deck and I really enjoy it, but I've been eyeing the Dock for a while too. It's on sale now for even less than the alternative I was considering so I'm probably going to grab one very soon
Wytchwood is a fun crafting adventure game with a lot of fetching. Not too long of a game either and I finished it in a few days.
I just got and am obsessed with UnderMine, an adorable roguelite dungeon crawler a la Binding of Isaac. Currently on sale for $5!
I highly recommend CrossCode, currently only costs $6 (It also has a free demo if you want to try it first). It’s a really well polished game with a great story, and the action is amazing too. It also includes difficulty settings you can change if you feel yourself getting too frustrated (as I did sometimes). This video also sums it up pretty well. Hope you enjoy!

the complete edition of Nioh 2 is $30. $30 for like 4000 hours of content depending on how deep you get into it. one of my top 25 games of all time.
FAQ:
- I hate soulslikes that aren't dark souls
don't worry, because nioh 2 isn't a soulslike after the first playthrough! once the credits roll, it becomes ninja gaiden crossed with diablo. also, the first playthrough is the tutorial lmao
- do i have to care about the loot?
not on the first playthrough, but like i said, it's diablo. you'll be chasing gear and making builds that melt bosses. if that doesn't sound fun, pass on it.
- do i have to play as William?
no! nioh 2 has a character creator. an extremely good one, because if Koei Tecmo is good at one thing, it's making pretty characters
- is there an izuna drop?
Know what, I disregarded it from my wishlist, but I will reconsider now. You sold this very well.
Slipways. Very well made space puzzle game. This game really surprised me.
Also, hidden gems thread... feels just like home :)
Here are a few that I really enjoy (though their level of "unknown-ness" is debatable):
Mini Metro: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1127500/?snr=1_5_9__205
Demeo: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1484280/?snr=1_5_9__205
Evoland: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1020470/?snr=1_5_9__205
If you're a fan of co-op survival and adventure games, Grounded is great. There's also Raft which is a more chill style adventure game.
Personally I'm probably picking up in this sale:
- System Shock
- Outer Wilds
- Aquatico
- Pummel Party
- The Long Dark: Survival Edition
- A Way Out
- Phasmophobia
- Halo: The Master Chief Collection
- Voidtrain
Raft is incredibly fun. and an incredible time devourer.
A few to add in:
Solasta: Crown of the Magister - Old school D&D and tactics RPG. It’s indie so has rough edges here and there, but it’s so fun, and there aren’t a ton of games that fill the void.
Dungeon of the Endless - It’s a tower defense / tactical game with great pixel art and one of the best soundtracks I’ve ever heard.
Battle Chasers: Nightwar - Excellent RPG that will remind you of old school Final Fantasy.
Tower of Time - Excellent tactical RPG
Detroit: Become Human - Cinematic narrative game about androids becoming self aware.
The Dark Anthology: Man of Medan - Cinematic narrative horror game, the first in a series of several, therefore if you enjoy there’s a lot more where that came from. (Made by the same studio that created Until Dawn.)
Dungeon of the Endless - It’s a tower defense / tactical game with great pixel art and one of the best soundtracks I’ve ever heard.
Doesn't actually appear to be on sale tho
Weird. Looks like they just discounted the Endless bundle.
My mistake. (Still a great game, though.)
I'm going to come in with some actual more hidden gems:
-
Imposter Factory (and the whole series)

For me it’s Songs of Conquest - spiritual successor of Heroes of Might and Magic 3. It looks great, the gameplay is awesome, they took all of the best parts of HoMM and got rid of the more frustrating ones (for example there is a unit cap for a single slot, so you can’t have 2000 skeletons in a single unit). There are also some cool new mechanics, like every unit gives some kind of essence, which is used as a resource for using spells, so depending on your team composition you get access to different spells. Overall definitely worth checking out for every HoMM fan!
