Steam Summer Sale 2022

[Ninco!]

Such a change of times! I like so many posters here, used to look forward to these sales and seeing what people buy. Used to budget.

For me this year, I am picking up some retro games for sale, the big box sims from Microprose, either on GOG or Steam. It's great to see Harrier Jump Jet and the like, it was rubbish but to be able to fire it up and try again for nostalgia. Hoovering up sims I never played!

The nineties was such an exciting time for gaming, but an equally a brutal period for PC ownership. My 386 was obsolete in a year and could not play mid nineties games.

Best thing about them are look instead at key resellers websites they also drop their prices to below steam sale prices otherwise they have no income for weeks

 

[ShiWarrior]

Anything worth getting? Want to take advantage of my vouchers

Steam sales havent been the same or as good, since they stopped doing the flash sales during their sales. Those used to be really good.

Can't seem to find Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2: Deluxe Edition cheaper than steam anywhere.

Bought Call of Duty®: Black Ops III - Zombies Chronicles Edition (RoW) as its only 15 quid and I am really struggling to feed my gaming addiction at the moment.
Quite fancy Hidden Deep, anyone played it?

Had some credit so go Total War Britannia, Forts and Project Zomboid, had them on my Wishlist for a while and thought worth a punt

Yeah this tbh.

I almost bought DeadCells and Outer Wilds directly from steam. Then remembered to quickly check CDkeys and saved roughly £10more on top of the Steam sale price

Shop around guys

I thought I would do just that and found that the game was £1.50 more on CDKeys.

Picked up Tiny Combat Arena for £10 - a Military Flight Sim with a late 80's/early 90's visual aesthetic to the graphics.

Tiny Combat Arena on Steam

Tiny Combat Arena is an approachable combat flight simulator sporting a stylized look and various game modes. Dogfight your way in the Arena and in Quick Action or craft your own scenarios and take part in a vast war with objectives and friendly armies to support.

As it happened glad I bought from Steam as I refunded the game pretty quickly.
