    I’ll always recommend Catherine, Bayonetta, and Crimzon Clover: World EXplosion. Cheap, extremely fun, and very replayable.

    Also, one of the best fighting games of all-time for $4: Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R.

    And if you’re a Persona person, maybe don’t sleep on Persona 4 Arena Ultimax? Super fun fighting game and relatively cheap.

    Celeste is 75% off and is a near-masterpiece of a game.

    Portal 1 and Portal 2 are on sale again of course on the chance you haven’t yet hit these absolutely classic legendary games.

    Persona 4 Golden is 40% off and is awesome, and Persona 5 Royal is 60% and is even more awesome.

    Metal: Hellsinger is 70% off and while it isn’t a GOTY type game, it’s a hell of a lot of fun if you’re a contemporary metal music fan.

    but my biggest recommendation is probably gonna be

    Recettear: An Item Shop’s Tale at 80% for only $3.99 (US) which is an completely underrated hidden gem of a game and a huge recommendation for anyone who likes quirky cozy-hybrid games or who, like me, spent way too long on the shopkeeper segments in RPGs like Torneko Taloon’s chapter in DQIV.

    edit: why in the world would anyone ever downvote a personal recommendation comment? Weird behavior, fam

    Noita is currently 60% off and is hands down the best game I have ever played (kind of). It is ridiculously brutal and you will die very often but you have the potential to get ludicrously powerful as well. The game will cheese you so don’t be afraid to cheese it back. In has so much content that beating the final boss for the first time is considered beating the tutorial.

    Also if the some aspects are too bullshit for you there is a variety of mods to fix these, and there is absolutely no shame in using them.

      Both combined is $15.58. That doesn’t include the excellent expansions for either game though.

      They are the only portal-likes (chamber-based player movement puzzlers) that I’d place on the same level as the Portal games.

        Imo they’re better. Portal was more groundbreaking because of when the first one came out, what valve was doing at the time, because everybody played it, and because of its connection with other games at the time.

        But now, it’s just a very good game that (re)introduced portals as a concept into pop culture and repopulatized and proved that AAA puzzle games were possible.

        Talos, on the other hand, is a philosophical indie sleeper, and more of a social experiment. I don’t like comparing it to portal, because most people see portal as an insurmountable peak with an impenetrable meme forcefield. And yeah, portal is great. But the Talos games are something very different and stands all on its own.

      This is one of those games that I love the description, love the sales pitches, streamers do a good job of promoting it. In paper I should love this game, but it just doesn’t gel with me. There’s something about video games that just cannot be conveyed through video or text.

      On the third game myself, I can’t believe I didn’t play these sooner. I understand the hype this series generated now.

        They may not have lived up to the hype when initially released, which was understandable as there were a lot of promises that weren’t keeps, but they are undoubtedly still absolutely amazing games.

      Idk why you got downvoted. Borderlands 3 for $6 is a pretty good deal. And $16 for the complete edition isn’t bad either. I already own the full collection on steam so I can’t see the price of that, but when I bought it during the last sale I wanna say I spent like maybe $50 on the entire Borderlands series.

      There really is a “Lemmy hive mind” starting to form, just like reddit.

        Yeah I have no idea what fucking losers are out here downvoting people for their personal recommendations, but I can’t think of much worse basement-dweller behavior.

        I don’t think there were downvotes, just me myself removing 1 upvote (as I am a shy person). I bought it at full price myself, and have no regrets.

        Because Borderlands is boring and repetitive, especially if you don’t have a friend group to play with.
