Steam Summer Sale 2016 set for 23rd June for two weeks

Dirty rally ( Think I will return this, not really for me)
Styx
Firewatch
Enemy front
Lucius 2
Rocket league

Still debating over Squad - the fps in me wants it but the anti social sod reminds me I would have to use a mic...
 
ooh what to buy.. I've just ordered a new PC rig. Need something that I will enjoy and tax the 980ti system I've got coming.. Good timing.

Witcher 3 looks to fit the bill.

And is it easy to pick up? I don't want something overly complicated. I'm getting too old for that sort of palaver... :D

Very easy to pick up, there's not much of an introduction but you get the hang of it quickly. During the day you're in a shelter and you can explore it, find items, create things like stoves and weapons, eat food, take medicine etc...then at night you pick if you want anyone to go out scavenging somewhere. These places can vary from abandoned buildings where you have free reign on whatever is in there, other places may have hostile people in and you can choose to either sneak in and risk being seen, or eventually you can build weapons and take them on (if you have to).

It's a surprisingly well made game and executes a simple formula very well. I recommend it.

Thanks for posting that. I've only bought 1 game from them before (Watch_Dogs back in 2014) but have just deleted my account to avoid buying any more from them.

Bought these from the Steam sale last night:
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning - Complete Pack
Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition
LEGO Marvel's Avengers Deluxe Edition

I probably won't be buying anything else from this sale.
 
Cant decide between -

The Long Dark
Firewatch
Subnautica

Really fancy an exploration game and the feeling of being alone, which is the better one to go for? Can only buy one at the moment

Subnautica is a game that I often look at, for some reason though I just dont press the trigger on the buy button each time. Then a couple months later I look at it again and again dont press buy. Maybe one day I will.

Kingdoms of Amalur is dirt average imo. The combat is pretty good but the story and quests are so repetitive. It's the perfect example of the I'd rather have a 10 hour well designed game than 160 hours of fetch quests.

Heh, I thought you were talking about Skyrim for a minute. Go fetch this, go fetch that, dungeon, dungeon, dungeon, dungeon...

Don't get me wrong its the best thing I've played in a long time but there is too much of the above.
 
The only game this year that takes my fancy is Witcher 3, £17 seems a good price.

But i am still playing Witcher 2 and not sure if i should juts wait it out or not, and hope for a better price once i complet #2
 
Trying to hold off buying anything in this sale. Waiting for the release of Farming Simulator 17 and Wow Legion (Thought may not buy the latter, bit burnt out)

As for the discussion on keys, i've never done it, only ever bought through steam. But i do see the sentiment, why buy from steam if it's cheaper elsewhere

Thanks. Went for it in the end, mainly because it was so cheap but ultimately using the PC version as a demo with the aim of buying the PS4 version when it gets a bit cheaper.

My laptop runs it OK but for some reason, the text is just horrendously small. So small that I can't make out what the orange status text of my men says, so I can't tell when they need things like food, sleep, etc. I wonder if it's because I'm running it on an ancient 4:3 1280x1024 monitor.

I also went for Don't Starve which also runs beautifully. But I got eaten by a horde of frogs on day 4.

Make sure you apply a SweetFX profile to it and it brings a whole new life to the game. Completed it again recently and it really is such a great game.

Cheers, never used SweetFX before but I'll give that a go when the time comes.

Any decent 'point and click' games on sale?

The Dream Machine and Kentucky Route Zero are my go-to recommendations, they're being released in chapters/acts though so you're not going to get the full game right now.

KRZ is very weird and quite surreal, I really like it.
