    Anyone got recommendations for cheap or interesting indie games this sale?

    I bought Touhou Artificial Dreams In Arcadia during the October sale and it is a bit of a hidden gem for fans of the old SMT JRPG games on SNES. I also picked up Lunacid but have not got that far in it, but it seems like a strong revival of the classic Kings Field games.

      Boneraiser minions. One of my favorite games this year. It’s vampire survivors but you raise minions to attack for you.

      Copying a comment I made on the other site;

      Recursed, just £1.67. It is a brilliant puzzle game, completely mind bending stuff about recursion and jumping into chests inside of chests while taking another chest with you so you can jump inside it…

      Wonderputt Forever - £2.20. Prettiest minigolf game, animated to excess. Less than an hour to beat unless you go for optional challenges. You may have played the original flash game a decade ago.

          The original predates mobile. Looks like Netflix have put this one on mobile. Still very good so don’t let that put you off.

      Not on steam deck but I play it on Linux pc and ps5. One of the coolest things about it is cross save, you can save your game on pc or ps5 then continue from that same spot on the other platform.

      I played it on Steam Deck. It was great. Act 3 was a bit slow, but I didn’t mind.

      I am thinking of getting it on console so I can experience it with better resolution

      Some things are a bit small and apart from cutscene camera angles or really zoomed in there isn’t much detail visible on the characters. I played with kb/m inputs mapped to have better utilization of deck controls. Some low fps bits here and there but generally great.

    Maybe this will be the actual sale I pull the trigger on Sonic Frontiers I said I wasn’t going to spend any money on games for a while but I really sonic and they seemed to have nailed this one.

    I picked up GTA 4 , I was going to get rdr2 cyberpunk , hogwarts and sifu if they had hit the right price but I’ll leave it for a future sale. I picked up the mass effect trilogy earlier this year for 9.99 now its cheaper. I also picked up a humble spaced out bundle too recently so I have tons to keep me busy.
