I bought over a dozen promotional games, with high discounts on several old games, Cities: Skylines-90% for only $2.99; Darkest Dungeon-92% for only $1.99. Also bought a promising HoMM-like new game, Pennon and Battle.

I bought stuff from GOG instead because I don’t want to buy a license of the games, I want to own them :)
Can’t remember exactly how many games I bought, but min. 5 ^^
Psychonauts 2 and it runs incredibly well on my Steam Deck docked to my 4k TV with high settings and 45% render resolution!
What a fun and lovely game, at a steal of a price.
It really brings me back to the kind of good that games used to be!
If you want similar old school meets new vibes, Celeste, Hollow Knight, Crosscode, and Another Crab’s Treasure are all very fun. Crosscode in particular I just finished, and my gosh it was one of my favorites this year. Can’t wait for the next game from the devs!
I love Crosscode! I don’t think any of these games you mentioned scratch the same itch though. They’re definitely great, but are missing the kind of simplicity of an old-school platformer that I’ve got in mind.
Slime Rancher
I would say definitely worth the 2 bucks. I wanted something I could play without having to pay attention to story, so it seems to fit the bill pretty well.
I bought half life 1 and 2 for a friend. Other than that I’ll wait until the winter one which starts in a few days
Factorio Space Age, but it wasn’t on sale.
BioShock.
I grabbed a bunch of games for Playstation, Steam and Switch. Some were cross platform so I could have gotten it for any of them. I grabbed a bunch of Atelier and Senran Kagura games, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, plus old JRPGs on a discount like Omega Quintet, Seven Pirates H, Mugen Souls, and Megadimension Neptunia VII. I do want to get the Romancing Saga 2 Remake but since I am still playing the Remaster on XBox, I decided to wait.
Nelke & the Legendary Alchemists: Ateliers of the New World is going to scratch my simcity itch. I am not ready to get into Cities Skylines 2, yet, I did play the first though. I had Estival Versus and Peach Beach Splash on the Playstation but they have graphical glitches on the PS5, so I got them again for Steam discounted. I also bought Theatrhythm for the Switch though I already had it for Playstation. Also got Patapon.
Good buys… Cities:Skylines is great, but need some DLC for a good game experience… Vanilla version of game is poor in content. Europa Universalis IV is a good game. You have a game for many hours and many DLC too…
I got Cities and the Tomb Raider reboot trilogy (with all DLC) for $13
Tunic Goat simulator 3 Murtop Hell divers dive harder
