Picked up Ghostrunner. Could have gotten it cheaper with the coupon on EGS since it's a multistore release, but then again, EGS is just a launcher while Steam is a platform.
I enjoyed it. It has some nice call backs to the first game, but it's not afraid to do its own thing. I don't think it's quite as good as Beneath a Steel Sky, the puzzles and the story doesn't come together quite the same way, but I liked what Revolution did with the world. It feels like a nice sequel.Point and click adventure councillors, what're your impressions of Beyond a Steel Sky? I won't expect a repeat performance of BASS, of course. But I hope it still gives us a good time.
Steam Labs Experiment 12: Exploring Sales
Introducing faceted browsing, a new way to explore sales on Steam
New Ways to Browse During the Holidays
Each holiday sale, Steam features thousands of titles on discount. As part of this year’s Autumn Sale we introduced over a dozen genre- and theme-specific sale pages to help players browse and discover our most popular games on discount during the event. We found these themed pages drove more game store page visits during the sale than all but one other Steam store point of discovery – the grid of featured games at the top of the home page.
Given the popularity of these themed pages, we’ve introduced more of them in this year’s Winter Sale, and we’ve added some smarts so we’re able to now list them based on their likely relevance to you:
Genres, Themes, Features, & More
Once you arrive at one of these pages during the Winter Sale, such as this one featuring [UWSL]the most popular Winter Sale Co-Op Games[/UWSL], you’ll discover a number of ways to browse the hundreds of games it features. Tabs offer common sub-genres, themes, or other tags shared by the hundreds of games featured on each page. Sections of these pages in some cases also display titles which all share a common theme such as viewpoint, player support, or additional themes. And because there are so many great games to feature on each of these pages, we’ve also introduced faceted browsing.
Faceted Browsing: Searching while Exploring
Faceted browsing lets you tell Steam what you’re looking for as you browse, by quickly filtering titles along a variety of axes such as visual style, theme, mood, player support, and more. Concepts can be selected across categories to serve as quick AND search operations, while concepts can be selected within categories to serve as quick OR search operations. For example, this set of choices on the Winter Sale Casual Games page displays titles which are both colorful AND relaxing:
While this set of choices displays titles featured on the same Winter Sale Casual Games page which are either colorful OR cute:
While these themed pages do not feature all Winter sale titles which meet the criteria you select, they feature the most popular matches on discount. (For our most powerful search capabilities, visit Steam Search, where results can be limited to discounted titles, and concepts can even be expressly omitted.)
Give faceted browsing a try when you visit any of our Winter Sale pages featuring [UWSL]Co-Op Games[/UWSL] and more.
[UWSL]Let us know what you think of Steam Labs Experiment 12: Exploring Sales[/UWSL], in its first phase of development and now available during the Winter Sale, then keep an eye out for more faceted browsing tools, powerful browsing experiments, and store discovery solutions headed your way in the New Year.

Lowest prices it's been for individual games and bundles.
I don't know what a clicker is I think, so this is probably off base, but consider the Kingdom Rush series of TDs. I play them often still.So, a couple of days ago I started playing Archer: Danger Phone on Android, since I really like Archer...
It's my first "Idle/Clicker game" and it's actually quite good?
So TLDR: recommend me some good/cheap idle/clicker games on the Steam sale. Preferably without microtransactions!
Oh good. That he was alive at one point I mean. I thought he was the forum bot.Lash is dead? Who's going to do the steam thread now
If lash is dead, should we keep his body in a mausoleum?
I been using a Dualsense for a few weeks. Basically everything works with Steam Input. The microphone button doesn't do anything, but I think the way the Dualsense works, that just turns of the microphone, it doesn't send input to the PC. If that's so, then there's nothing Valve can do.Anyone using dualsense on pc? What are your impressions so far with steam input support, functionality, wireless support?
Bought a series controller and a little disappointed that the share button does nothing (atm).

He'll likely be buried like a pharaoh with all his worldly possessions like his anime collection.If lash is dead, should we keep his body in a mausoleum?
Just do all three. You know its a time sink you want to invest in. The Trials and Tribulations of [female] ShephardMy idiot ass bought Mass Effect 3 and its DLC bundle, mostly out of fear that they'll get delisted when the remaster comes out. I know it would annoy the shit out of me to have them all except 3 even though I'm probably just gonna hold off and wait for the remaster to replay the series.
Probably should do a replay of just ME3 for the hell of it, though. I never did play any of the DLC or the patched ending. But that makes it tempting to at least do ME2 as well as a refresher on the story and then it sort of becomes a time investment I'm not sure I'm willing to make lol.
I'll wait until the remaster is out for that. If I'm going to replay all three then I want it to be a comprehensive run and right now there's no way to do that on Steam since the ME2 DLC isn't available. I'm not even sure if you can still buy it with those moronic Bioware points or whatever the hell it was and even if it is, I'm not doing that. Plus, I'm really curious to see what QOL improvements they bring to the first one.Just do all three. You know its a time sink you want to invest in. The Trials and Tribulations of [female] Shephard
I haven't played 6 but 5 was fun, well made and cheap. You could do a lot worse with more expensive tower defense games.How is that game so big? It does not even feature trading cards. :boomer:
They are all good, for different reasons.So, I've been on a XCOM 2: WOTC binge lately... And I feel like adding some more turn based strategy to my backlog.
So thoughts on the following :
- Xcom: Chimera Squad
- Warhammer 40k Mechanicus
- Battletech
Chimera Squad is an interesting twist to the XCom formula, it's clearly a budget game but still quite enjoyable. I haven't played Mechanicus but the consensus is that it 's a good game. Battletech is more hardcore but still very good. I just finished Gears Tactics and it too is a good XCom-like game.So, I've been on a XCOM 2: WOTC binge lately...

What some of the "Steam must do more for small devs and lower the cut" people forget or overlook, is that the lower the cut is the more games will be released on Steam.
This is pretty big news. The only downside is that it's apparently regulatory hell to get listed on WeGame since all games have to be approved by the government. Speaking of which, I wonder what will happen to Steam in China after the Chinese version comes out. The international version is still supposed to be available even without a VPN, but the government might close that loophole.
Between this and Apple's new program, I hope Valve does something for smaller devs in the future. Valve's terms probably wouldn't be as generous since they aren't as large as those companies, but they might be pressured to do at least something.
Yeaah I still buy too many games that look interesting but then only play it for a short while or not at all, because theyre all taking up too much time and because there's so many games theres always the lingering question if my time wasnt better spent with a different game I'd enjoy more...I realized that I have used to buy a lot of games on sales that looks fun/interesting, but I bought them mainly because they were really cheap.
Due to the overwhelmling amount of games being released these days I have began to only buy games I really wanna play even if the discount isn't particularly high. My time is more valuable than what money can buy so I'd rather spend my time with a really good game with not that high discount rather than a bunch of games that are cheap, but might quit after some hours.
Deppaneur Nocturne is short but sweet I hope you enjoy it.First Steam Christmas purchase !
Cray cray ! Money is no object, obviously !
Still waiting a little bit for that same post myself. Hope I don't forget !Just chiming in to wish you all a marry Christmas, great Holidays or just a wonderful week. Independent of what you are celebrating or not celebrating Have a great time. It was a hard and long year, but we nearly did it.
I enjoy it, but there is a noticeable lag. Interestingly, the online feature uses a rollback system.is spelunky 2 a good 4 players co-op online game?
