Steam Summer Sale 2021 Today

I want to pick up Half-Life Alyx now that I have a Quest 2 with the Link cable, but my laptop is an AMD and I have heard that a lot of those are still not compatible.
Pretty much the whole internet and this forum will vouch for it. It runs great on pc too.
Thinking of buying it myself. From my understanding it's one of the better ARPGs.
Valheim is ace as hell.
Subnautica is likely the best in the genre that isn't named Minecraft.
Haven't tried Below Zero yet.
If you wanna get really spicy, Project Zomboid is one of the absolute best survival/crafting sims on the market. Incredibly deep systems in play that simply dwarf genre peers in the possibility space. Hidden gem.
(Don't let the rickety screenshots on the Steam page fool you, they're years old. Game has seen a ton of graphical/animation upgrades since.)
- Journey
- Flower
- Sunset Overdrive
- Ori and the Blind Forest: Definitive Edition
- Black Mesa
- Sam & Max Hit the Road
- The Lego Batman Trilogy (never played a Lego game and it wasn't on my wishlist, but seemed like a great value for only $5)
This is me with Volleyball Unbound. :(
I know the AC Origins team made Valhalla, which I absolutely loved. But I always read Odyssey > Origins. I know this will be blasphemy to a lot of AC fans, but what I loved about Valhalla was just running into villages and wrecking shit, no stealth required. You could even kill higher level enemies with the right strategy as well. So, my question is, does Origins play like this? I'm assuming Odyssey doesn't.
Meh, I think Age of Decadence is kind of just not good. Fun for a bit but that's probably the best price for the game.
you dont have to stealth in odyssey either, you can kinda play how you want, Origins I can't weigh in on as much yet
Some games are eternal EA affairs.
Has nothing to do with the title not being finished. It's more a reflection of labor of love from gonzo-madmen devs that continue to expand content & scope for years and even sometimes decades.
Dwarf Fortress, Caves of Qud, UnReal World, Star Traders, Minecraft, Project Zomboid and more are fully compete projects that are still seeing new updates years after the fact. All completely free of charge.
I'd consider cases like this a win for the end user.
I had the idea to buy Bioshock Infinite and saw i already have it on my library, so i bought Echo, Hollow Knight, Slay the Spire and Call of Cthulhu but i refund the last one to buy the first Dead Space.
That was the first thing I thought.. lol. I already have the first game, but the other two are like 70% off, so I went ahead and picked them both up. As usual, I have no idea if I'll ever play them, but that's life among Steam sales, innit?
Also picked up Solasta. Honestly surprised to see it on sale, even if it wasn't a huge discount (20%, I think), the full game hasn't been out that long at all.
You might want to start with the second LEGO Batman game. If I recall correctly the first one is a little on the basic side, it's from the earlier generation of Travellers Tales LEGO games.
But the second one I remember being pretty good. Nice bump in graphics, has a lot of great voice actors (I think Mark Hammel for Joker), and a decent open world Gotham.
What you mean by its an AMD? Your cpu? GPU? My cpu is amd and video card is nvidia and have an index and ran alyx no issues.
So the only way to get cards this time is to check discovery list? No game to this time to get more cards?
Oh! I played the first two about four years ago and fell in love. Estelle is amazing. I'm finally ready to play the third, but I'm restarting from scratch because it's been so long!
It's only a year old and well received, I wouldn't have expected it to be that cheap yet.
I played this for a bit when I had a PC game pass trial, wonder if there's any way I could transfer that safe over so I don't have to start from the beginning again?
It's only been out on PC for, like, a month. Of course there's no discount just yet.
If you play Souls for great environments, level design and boss fights then yes. If you play souls for magic build or strength build then no.
I really enjoyed it. It doesn't overstay its welcome. The characters are messy and some of the events are a bit messed up but I found it interesting. The systems are pretty interesting but I think they made it a bit too easy to manage/steer away from fail states with the loyalty stuff. Combat isn't really its strong point but I don't consider it bad like the sponge fest that was Blackguard 1 and 2.
For what its worth, I don't even like vikings theme and I had a lot more fun with it than I expected.
How about

That sucks, but the lag you experienced another user may not experience. I think it depends on your location. I've never experienced that kind of lag in my 300+ hours of playing it, and I played it on wifi on my laptop, but maybe I'm just lucky.
Welching on my promise to buy Sekiro if it went cheap because right now I don't have a GPU that can actually run it lol. By the time I can buy a graphics card for a decent price again it'll be cheaper still and I'll just buy it then. Sorry Bobby.
I picked up Baldurs Gate 1 and 2, Planetscape Torment and Icewind Dale Enhanced Editions so far.
EDIT: Also grabbed FFXIV complete edition, hoping I can see the story through eventually!

I wonder if they originally intended to put up one story a day for the duration of the sale. It's kind of disappointing that the event is basically done in one day. I like the stickers and avatar frame though. Shame you can't buy the ones you didn't get with points.
If you've waited this long, no reason not to keep waiting imo. Will only get cheaper and less buggy.
Hah! Enjoy your annual leave, mine is also next week.
So far, I have wishlisted a couple of games.
If anyone is looking at the Yakuza bundle, don't bite. Yakuza Kiwami 2 is $4 cheaper on CDKeys, and Kiwami 1 is $1 cheaper on Gameplanet, so you can get the first three games for $22 total instead of $27.
Remastered Collection is cheapest on Steam, Yakuza 6 and 7 are also cheapest on Gameplanet.

Incredible, incredible games representing everything that was great about the game industry and everything that should have been great about the game industry until multiplayer RPGs came along and killed it.
Circle is complete
