Community Steam Winter Sale Haul | 2022

[Panda Pedinte]

The sales end in a few days so let's post what games we've bought and will sit indefinitely in our backlogs

• DEATH STRANDING DIRECTOR'S CUT
• CrossCode
• Vampire Survivors: Legacy of the Moonspel
• Where the Water Tastes Like Wine
• Emily is Away <3
• Catmaze
• LUMINES REMASTERED
• Kaze and the Wild Masks
• The Uncertain : Light at The End
• Bumballon
  

Got as a gift:

• Inscryption

I'm curious to see what everyone bought or is buying this sale

 

[tetel]

Not in the picture: DJMAX Respect V - V Extension 3 DLC. Lost Judgment and The Good Life were gifts.

Already finished Gridform (middling - solid mechanics but bland level design) and Satryn Deluxe (fun). Miku picross currently doesn't allow you to turn off the assist mode so have to wait for another patch.

Most of the other titles look relatively short so I should finish most of them this year, hopefully.

 

[Wereverine]

I didn't buy anything but I played Persona 5 Royal which I bought in the previous sale.

 

[FunnyJay]

Bought some old classics for ease of access on the Deck, and "completed" my Yakuza collection (only missing #7 now).

 

[LEANIJA]

Gloomwood
Blood West
Crayola Scoot
Coral Island
Frozen Flame
Until I Have You
Guard Duty
Disney Dreamlight Valley
Broken Pieces
Forza Horizon 4 Standard Edition
Bud Spencer and Terence Hill - Slaps And Beans
Microsoft Flight Simulator: 40th Anniversary Standard Edition


some of these I question now
but Im glad I got MSFS with the price glitch

 

[Spamlynguist]

PIcked up quite a bit, including lots of JRPGs so that will keep me busy for a whole year

 

[Yoshi]

 

[Dandy]

Here's what I grabbed:


So far, I've only played Wytchwood and it was kind of a miss for me. The gameplay loop is just sort of tedious, and involves a ton of backtracking so I'm not sure if I will finish it or not.

 

[Parsnip]

Not all of these are directly from the Steam Winter Sale, but they are all recent so I don't think it matters.

I do not make New Year's Resolutions per se, but I think this year I am going to try to really limit how many games I buy. I am planning on starting a spreadsheet and budgeting out my purchases.

 

[Aaron D.]

Two-man team who deliver the goods.

Cross between Deus Ex (immersive sim vibes) and Space Station Silicon Valley.

I've close to a dozen hours between the demo / full release and it's already being earmarked for end-of-year consideration.



See above: Two-man team. Likely be talking about it during '23 awards season.

It's $10 too expensive for the casual viewer, but at least it has a demo.

Staggering depth for a survival-sim. Novel card mechanics for the genre.



Looks find the middle ground between the complexity of Starsector and the lite breeziness of Starcom: Nexus.

Need to put more time in to evaluate.

 

[bobnowhere]

Like always, I got most if not all of my stuff outside of steam:

 

[gabbo]

In an effort to keep my backlog in check, I didn't actually buy anything this Steam sale.
I did get one game as a gift:

• Stray

GOG's winter sale is where all of my purchases were...(Yes, I'm a backlog hypocrite. A DRM-Free backlog hypocrite)

• Wingman
• Terror of Hemasaurus
• Industria

 

[LEANIJA]

Zachtronic: Solitaire Collection <- So far the real winner out of everything haha

[FunnyJay]

Last minute sale purchase from card money...

On a whim I checked the iOS App Store and there it was for $5!

My wife & I got iPad Mini's for Christmas and this collection looks like a perfect fit.

yeah unfortunately I noticed that too... a bit of a shame!

 

[Cacher]

Judging from my available gaming time, honestly I bought too many games during the winter sale. Going to seriously limit my gaming purchase in 2023.

Days Gone
Assassin's Creed 2
Watch Dogs 2 + DLC
Ara Fell
Immortal Fenyx Rising
Research and Destroy
Panzer Dragoon Remake
House of the Dead Remake
Terminator Resistance
428
Unsighted

 

[Parsnip]

yeah unfortunately I noticed that too... a bit of a shame!

It's a bit of a bummer too that there's some wasted space that they use for visual borders and such that could be stripped out to make the actual play area bigger. But maybe it wouldn't be enough to make an actual difference.
I guess it's time to invest on a tablet!

I need screen folding tech get into a point where I can have a phone sized phone, and then unfold it as many times as I need to also make it a comfortable tablet experience.

 

[bobnowhere]

Also got this at the last moment, my only steam purchase on steam.


The complete version, though that's a lie, it's incomplete, missing the latest class DLC

The thing that scares me about this game is the permanent online part and the install size, otherwise it sounds fun!
