It's that time of year again, the Steam summer sale.

Plus the Steam Deck is up to 20% off

Anno 1800 for £12.49, thats a bargain and a complete time sink! - https://store.steampowered.com/app/916440/Anno_1800/

A couple of older games on my wishlist are down to about £3 so I'm happy, newer games are *reduced* to about £40, think I'll pass...

[Jonj1611]

Older games always come down a lot. Surprised Company of heroes 3 only has a 10% reduction, should be a lot more than that

[Rob_B]

Picked up binary domain for £1.99 as I fancied some old school shootery-ness.
I have had Jedi Fallen Order on my wishlist for ages but that's still £35, and Jedi: survivor is only down to £45!

On the lookout for some decent FPSs that I don't already own, I don't think there are many left!

I'm always weighing up whether to get Cyberpunk on sale or if I should wait for the expansion and get it then...

[Iota]

Oooh Stellaris is on sale....

[Jonj1611]

I'm always weighing up whether to get Cyberpunk on sale or if I should wait for the expansion and get it then...

It's really held its price surprisingly, I can't see it getting much cheaper when the expansion comes out. They have fixed so many issues since launch. And I had it at launch and it was a mess. It's a much better experience now.

[Jonj1611]

I got Fifa 23 at £14.99. Yeah yeah I know the football season is over but I like the random game every now and again but definitely don't play it enough to get it full price.

Plus Hearts Of Iron IV

[Saracen999]

Anno 1800 for £12.49, thats a bargain and a complete time sink! - https://store.steampowered.com/app/916440/Anno_1800/

Very tempted but .... requires Denuvo, and a Ubisoft account. While I kinda get anti-cheats, it's a curse that they're needed but I guess they are. As I'm only interested in single-player mode though, so Denuvo stings.

[Jonj1611]

I only play single player. For all the protections I haven't noticed anything affecting gameplay but yeah can understand the concerns

[Saracen999]

I guess what worries me as much as anything is breaking a principle - I only want stuff on my machine that works for me as, after all, it's my machine that will be affected IF there's an impact. And Denuvo has an especially not-good reputation, Okay, a lot of the problems with it (that I know of) were a while ago and issues do have a history of getting sorted out. But also sometimes, new ones introduced through firmware/software updates. i just see Denuvo as giving me nowt of use, but being at least a potential issue.

The question is, am I prepared to put up with it to play Anno 1800 (and other games needing it)? As of now.... nope.

[AGTDenton]

As tempting as it is, I'm surprisingly eager to get Cities Skylines 2 on launch. Not to mention the 100s of games I've still yet to play from previous years.

A couple I would get if I had nothing to catch up on:

Steel Division 2 - £8.74
https://store.steampowered.com/app/9...el_Division_2/

Orcs Must Die 3 - £9.51
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1...cs_Must_Die_3/

Starship Troopers Extermination - £16.79
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1...Extermination/

Red Dead Redemption 2 - £19.79
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1..._Redemption_2/


EDIT: FYI - I have found slightly better deals on Green Man Gaming so definitely do a bit of checking before you hit buy

[Jonj1611]

I have hundreds of unplayed games in my steam library all bought when they were cheap. Not sure if I will ever get to play them!

[kalniel]

Ooh Lego Skywalker saga too..

[Rob_B]

Good site to see if there are any actual deals - https://isthereanydeal.com or https://gg.deals/

Just startig to look around this myself and look at what's in my wishlist
