Only game I bought was Sniper elite 5 for £13. Apparently its less snipery elitie as you use your machine gun more but I've enoyed the other 4 over the years.

If you liked the others, then you should be all right. From what I can remember, number 5 actually turned out to be the best in the series for me.

Civilisation V Complete. £7 for the game and all DLC. Civ VI is on a deep discount but the DLC soon adds up, so the V deal looked OK to me.
Hogwarts
Dominions 6
Mech Warrior 5 Complete
X4 Foundations
Distant Worlds 2 + DLC

You still have time!

I've also still not purchased anything. Strangely 7 Days to Die is not in the sale as I would have likely picked that up.

Might have to give 5 a look then! I thought 3 was excellent but got bored with 4.

Bought LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga for £9.99. Looking forward to trying it on the steam deck, then adding it to the "I'll come back to this and finish it at some point" list

5 is pretty similar to 4. I didn't enjoy 3 as much. Something like 5 > 4 > 3 > 2 > 1 is my order of preference.

Not been tempted with anything the free copy of Chivalry 2 is all I have played in 3 months now

Shaolin Chicken · 10 Jul 2024 at 12:42

Bought Fall of the Samurai for Shogun Total War and another game, which I can't remember

I bought the Riven and Myst remakes bundle, a friend and I finished Riven back when we were kids (with the help of his dad's guide book) but I never played much of Myst.

Will have a gander at some gameplay on You Tube. Honestly I didn't find 4 bad but more to do with playing it right after 3 etc.

Knew it was a bad idea reading this thread whilst the steam sale has been on, ended up jumping on Sniper Elite 5 as well :cry:

Also picked Sleeping Dogs definitive edition up for the steam deck as I've never played it.

unless it has changed be careful with sleeping dogs as it does not use the steam cloud....... or it didnt. I spent hrs trying to 100% the game and then in a computer upgrade i lost my save

i could not face going back to it after that. not a bad game however.

Thanks for the heads up, although I doubt I will get anywhere near 100% :cry:

must have restarted RDR2 about 4/5 times now :rolleyes:

Ended up also buying Hitman World of Assassination Part One as well after seeing a few here having bought it and then looking at the comparison grid on their steam page and saw it has 8 missions so thought that be worth the €2.99 it cost !

Heads Up. Forza 4 is being delisted in December and is at all time low right now.

I went on a full on flip flop on this before deciding to buy it. Went from nah, its too cringe I can do without it, to bugger it I'll just buy it over the space of a couple of days. Also bought Field of Glory Empires in addition to the other stuff I've bought posted above.

how long until they take the servers down though, it's online only?

Yea I'm aware it's only being pulled due to expiring licenses
