The STEAM Sales and Releases Thread - WINTER SALE 2024

[Modron]

Mine aren't so bad, mostly stuff I already had on gog though like Way of the Samurai 3/4 and half of them are already on wishlist, if I weight the recommender to 100% niche it is near 90% CYOAs though strangely. Granted if I set it to niche and limit it to more recent releases the perverted does creep in a bit probably because I've played a lot of Yakuza (I saw this previously in the recommended because you played Yakuza Kiwami 2 blurbs on the front page). Steam recommendations are still too robotically dependent on user tags with no regard to anything subtle for this to be remotely helpful yet.

Alien Shooter 2 - The Legend?



Apparently this is based on mobile release of Alien Shooter 2. I wonder what's different with existing AS2 on Steam.

No free games on Steam embeds correctly. Might as well just post the link.

 

[Zombra]

Nice pick 'n' mix bundle on Fanatical. Includes Cognition and The Last Door, both of which I played and were worth my time. Plus other stuff, all for $2.

 

[Solid Snail]

Blazing Chrome is rage inducing even on Easy holy shit.

 

[Morkar Left]

Age of Wonders 3 for free atm! (Claim and keep forever)

 

[Solid Snail]

Well, today I completed Blazing Chrome, it was a blast. I played it on Easy to have 7 lives and infinite continues, but it was still very challenging. You also unlock two other characters when you beat it with a boss rush mode.

 

[Sukhāvatī]

Also unlock hardcore and mirror mode when you beat it on normal.

 

[Grauken]

That damn ride in the snow, hate that level, reminds me of Battletoads

Mighty Gunvolt Burst, sequel to the only good thing came out of Mighty No. 9 fiasco, is coming to Steam:

the sequel to goty 2018 is out

It's a visual novel tainted with SJW narratives. Even pcgaymer is complaining about it:

One of your passengers is inferred to be an immigrant who's just had a run-in with the police, but he turns out to be deeply sensitive lover of literature who bonds with the driver over shared experiences with racism. “People of colour can be smart people with diverse interests, too, even the scary-looking ones” isn't a point worth making in 2019, as necessary as it may seem. A policeman is scared of coming out to his colleagues because he works in a traditionally hyper-masculine space. The old racist says “I'm not a racist, honest.”

Don't buy this shit.

This one has a positive feedback. Still EA.

Worth a look, Helldivers was p. fun

It's a visual novel tainted with SJW narratives. Even pcgaymer is complaining about it:

Don't buy this shit.

What if the immigrant is the serial killer that almost got you at the beginning and the police chase is meant to be foreshadowing? Serial killers are often cultured
