I picked up Total War: WARHAMMER III and Pennon and Battle, both strategy games. I'm thinking of getting Baldur's Gate 3 as well. This should keep me busy for a while. My holiday plan is to stay home and game!

I wish I could play through it again with fresh eyes. I've played through it 3 times. Enjoy.
I haven't bought anything. We've still got another week to go though, so I might pick up something. I'm a patient gamer so I'm still waiting for Cyberpunk and expansion to come down in price. Otherwise there isn't a whole lot that interests me right now.
I'm mostly waiting on updates for a few games I already own: Balatro is getting a big update in the new year, Enshrouded, Against the Storm, and Timberborn. I should get back in to BG3 too. I bought it on release and put 20 hours in and then just... stopped playing.
lockdown protocol and astroneer is pretty solid

Grabbed the mass effect series for under a fiver. Played for a few hours and realized I was not enjoying it at all.
Nothing. Everything its too expensive in argentina now
I got Life is Strange: Double Exposure. It was meh. Not super bad but had enough bugs to push it in that direction.
After that I played The Excavation of Hob's Barrow which was phenomenal.
I didn't pick up any of the deep discount items but I did pick up a few items on my wishlist. I picked up Mouthwashing, WitchSpring R, Little Kitty Big City, the Nonory game collection and Okami HD. I already have the last two but I wanted them in the Steam library so I can play them on my deck.
I got:
Saints Row 2022 Not actually that bad honestly. I think we were too harsh on them. It's still fun, the characters are likeable, and it's got all the stuff you expect for a saints row game.
CP Phantom Liberty Not gonna be able to get this played for a bit but I'm hopeful.
Anemoiapolis I like backrooms and I got Pools a few weeks ago but got kind of bored so hopefully this one is better since it has actual puzzles.
I'm spoilering these. You know what that means. Don't fucking @ me.
spoiler
Mage Kanade's Futanari Dungeon Quest
Midnight Castle Succubus
Tower and Sword: Succubus These last two are part of a series, and I already played Castle in the Clouds. Even without the porn it's still a competent side scroller action platformer so I have good hopes for these two.
Might get more idk.
I don't remember if it was on sale, but I got 10 Dead Doves on a whim and I'm not dissapointed so far.
Neva and Plucky Squire. Oh and Islets.
a few games i pirated earlier in the year, heh, and Pathologic 2, Lunacid (as of a few seconds ago), Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 (to check out the openrct2 mod), dwarf fortress, & Odallus the Dark Call.
Wayfinder, Gothic and Blades of Time so far.
I ended up getting Metal Gear Rising: Revengence, Sonic Adventure 2, Prey, Daemon X Machina, and Dragon Age 2. I have no regrets in my eclectic sale impulses hahaha
Dragon Age 2 is a bit ooof. Excellent combat, but the story and especially the scenery... you revisit the same parts of town and the same dungeon over and over and over.
da 2's gameplay is not the best for sure, i think even inquistion might have been a bit more fun to play, but in terms of the story, look i may have just been really high, but i have never cried actual tears like that twice, like the end and then the dlc, idk but i really felt connected to my hawke more than any other character except well, my city elf from origins, origins is def the best of the three hands down, but da:kirkwall had an excellent story that i understand why people didn't like twist there, but it just felt so right for the story i played, i loved it

Spiritfarer: Farewell edition, Celeste and Stardew valley.
I got
- Nightmares I and II
- Firewatch
- Never Alone
Thaumaturge. Very atmospheric I think. Also, I think the setting is quite fresh, and I think that should be rewarded.
Assassins Creed Odyssey and Fields of Mistrial.
Wasn't ajlot i wanted that i didnt already have.
