    I got Valheim, it’s been fun so far. I’m 8 hours into it and still feel like I’m super fresh.

    A pretty general question for such a vast selection to choose from. I think I will buy Street Fighter 6, Hogwarts Legacy and probably NfS Payback - the latter because it’s ridiculously cheap and I hope it will give me some NfS Underground 2 vibes.

    To my own surprise ‘Sunset Overdrive’ is my recommendation. Plays great and is a perfect travel game for short bursts of gameplay.

    I feel like I went a bit overboard with this sale.

    Persona 5 Royal, Stray, Horizon Zero Dawn, Inscryption, Outer Wilds, Fran Bow, The Aching

    And I kinda feel more are getting bought today

      Persona 5 is literally one of the best games I’ve ever played. Bought it on ps5 and Switch and now, having ordered the steam deck, considering to buy it on steam one more time. The soundtrack alone is crazy good and became Nr. 1 in my Spotify yearly recap.
      Also it has that ‘Just one more day’ thing that keeps you playing forever and the story is amazing!

        Oh maaaaannnnnn, it was the soundtrack that pulled me into 4! I got maybe 3 hours into 5 when it was on game pass and I was playing via the deck using xcloud but seeing as it got removed I got it on steam. No regrets! It runs pretty well according to steam deck HQ. I’ve yet to install it. Midnight Suns is my current deck game.

      Persona 5 was kinda meh. It loves to waste your time and ended up taking twice as long to clear as the story really needed. Also, the story feels pedantic and moralizing without actually having anything meaningful to convey.

        Hmn, might be a taste-thing. I loved the hell out of this game.
        Characters are amazing, the soundtrack has a crazy vibe (I love games where there is actually singing in the soundtrack) and I loved the story as well. I found the storytelling great. Yes, you could have maybe given players a few days less to level up and stuff but I think they did that on purpose to get the difficulty right for everyone. There’s no shame in just skipping a few days to save some time. If you do that, you won’t have the feel of the story being stretched I think.

        I’m playing Persona 3 right now and I liked 5 more. 3 is still a great game though. (30 hours in at the moment)

        So far. I picked it up for the sale, i’m about three bosses in, playing exclusively on deck. If you’re comfortable with 30 fps, that is.

      The sequel, right? The first one was janky af, only worth playing if you’ve rerun every FromSoft game to tears and are desperate for new levels at any cost.
