My Steam Summer Sale Pickups (So Far)

As summer charges ahead, here are some of my Steam Summer sale pickups. I imagine I'll end up going back for seconds or even thirds at some point, but for now here are some of the initial games I grabbed that run the gamut from throwback horror to isometric assassinations. If there's anything you'd recommend please let me know!

I like the let’s play idea, as you are always generously well considered in your thoughts on any given game. While our tastes don’t always align, I always understand the pros and cons of the game as you see them, and I think a let’s play would be an interesting opportunity to hear you developing that perspective live. Great work, as always!

I LOVE that you mention Everhood, it's such a good game

[LouieM]

Everhood looks dope! Thanks for the suggestions I had no idea some of these games existed.

[wilfredodiaz]

Bring on the "Let's Play Videos" they are fun and usually that is what I'll watch while at work.

Glad you enjoyed Tokyo 42!
I’m trying to exercise some self control for once so I haven’t picked up much from the Steam sale outside of the Doom franchise. Been wanting to replay Doom 2016 and Eternal (and finally play Eternal’s DLC) so I thought “screw it” and now, for the bazillionth time, I own all the Doom games lol.

Nice pickups! The only one that's on my list is En Garde. I like the colorful aesthetic for that type of games! I haven't bought anything yet and I don't think that I will. I just have too many games to play! The only game that I really want to play is Republic of Pirates and it's not on sale as it released not too long ago! Great video and keep up the good work!

[OneTakeEDC]

Awesome list !! I picked a few platformers too as I feel it is best played on the steam deck

[Majin]

Really enjoy your videos but I have to padlock the wallet before pressing play. I agree with the comments on Stay Out Of House, great atmosphere suspense and the filter was annoying on some parts. I’ll get back into Everhood once I finish HiFi Rush. Tokyo 42 looks interesting, might have to try it out once I find the key to the padlock!

I went a bit wild on this sale tbh - Cocoon, Pentiment, Cultic, Crow Country, An English Haunting, FAITH, Spirits Abyss, Hotline Miami 2, Immortals : Fenyx Rising, Frostpunk, Snufkin : Melody of Moomin Valley and Nightmare Frames. And then I picked up this month's Humble Bundle too! I was playing Cocoon on Game Pass, and I know Pentiment is on there too, but there's nothing quite like having a game native on my deck (especially smaller indie style titles that are going to play amazingly well)... if anything I almost use Game Pass to try games out I later might buy on Steam.

For $2 I’m picking up Tokyo 42 looks like a blast and perfect for the steam deck as a grab and go game!

[carlosmelendez]

I just scooped up V Rising, Dead by Daylight, Shadow of War and Tomb Raider 2013 on Steam Summer Sale. Everything under $40

[adelin]

I looked up everhood on steam just to find out it’s already in my library. I don’t even remember where I got it from, probably was part of a bundle

[WCentennial]

Hello! I am currently waiting for my steamdeck to arrive and have been watching your vids, great stuff and lots of games I have wishlisted.. i was curious, what are the two games youre playing in your outro here? Anyway, thanks for all of your videos, cant wait to get my deck and to keep up withh your future videos🤘🏻

Edit: found them in the following two videos from this one. Going to check those out. Thanks again

[tonythesuperperson]

Pseudoregalia is well worth a look, it’s a 3d Metroidvania with some nice jumping mechanics

[MistaChristafuh]

I think some short “Let’s Play” videos would be good. I frequent a couple channels, Factor of Gaming and Freddy’sGamingBenchmarks quite often before buying a game for the SD.

[miguelsantos]

Great list Josh, this morning when I Logged In on Facebook the first thing I saw was a Post saying that two Uncharted Games are in Development but I don't know if they are true because there are no information about them on Google.

[MrQuicksand]

So far, this summer sale, I picked up Dystopika, Burnout Paradise remastered, Children of the Sun, Celeste, and Shantae 1/2 Genie Hero. I'm sure I'll pick up one or two more. 😂

[finraziel]

Tokyo 42 looks very familiar... I'm pretty sure I've played it for a bit, but it's not in my steam library. Been checking amazon gaming and epic to see if I picked it up for free there, but nope :P maybe it was in this massive bundle I bought once that had a lot of drm free directly downloadable games...
Not that I want to play it, wasn't really my thing, it was just itching my brain :D

[wgwrigel]

Castle crashers, Deaths Door, Hero siege .79 !!!! and Celeste for $1.99

[jamilnavarro]

I grabbed Disco Elysium, runs great on SD and is such a great game
