Mostly protected from steam sale due to playing more retro games and roguelikes lately but then I started gamedev soits now “research”. Here’s my five recent

elionking.bsky.social•1 day ago

There was a game that came out around the same time as Blue Prince that looked really good I remember you recommending, but I can't remember the name. I even remember you saying it was a pity it got blown out by Blue Prince. Do you know what it was?

caseyexplosion.bsky.social•1 day ago

Try stick to things you know you'll play right away, there'll be other sales!

caseyexplosion.bsky.social•1 day ago

Oh nice, and I've heard good things about Yellow Taxi

caseyexplosion.bsky.social•1 day ago

What'd you get?

husker.bsky.social•3 days ago

good choices?

caseyexplosion.bsky.social•3 days ago

Can't voice for Tainted Grail, but nice!

plaidvamp.bsky.social•2 days ago

Mouthwashing and CrossCode are both 10s!

follyindustries.bsky.social•2 days ago

CrossCode is definitely on my personal favorites list.

I found that it's either very much your game or does nothing for you.

dyony-sus.bsky.social•2 days ago

great picks all around

dosbilliam.bsky.social•3 days ago

I played the demo; if you like Skyrim but wanted a more Arthurian legend flavor, it's exactly that.

robinfromwork.bsky.social•3 days ago

Damn it Casey, I already spent too much and now I see this thread!

caseyexplosion.bsky.social•3 days ago

What did you pick up?

robinfromwork.bsky.social•3 days ago

Darkness 2
Hollow Knight
Persona 4 Gold
Thank Goodness You're Here
Omori
Keep Talking & Nobody Explodes
Boyfriend Dungeon
Crow Country
Nine Sols

And Brütal Legend and Ori and the Blind Forest as gifts for friends.

robinfromwork.bsky.social•3 days ago

It's my first steam sale as someone with a device I can actually game on

caseyexplosion.bsky.social•3 days ago

Okay well that's some good stuff, highly recommend Nine Sols and Crow Country, and oh goodness me is Hollow Knight an all timer.

Feel free to skip my recommendations and focus on those

robinfromwork.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yeah, a few of these are repeat buys now that I have a Steam Deck.

And nah, I just got a new job and you always suggest amazing ones.

caseyexplosion.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yeah, but don't overwhelm yourself and get choice paralysis, that's the worst.

lualvespi.bsky.social•3 days ago

I'm thinking of getting Arco after narrowing down my choices to a couple of games. Might get 24 Killers along with it because it looks fantastic.

maddigital.bsky.social•3 days ago

these games are both on sale on steam right now, but they're way cheaper in this bundle https://bsky.app/profile/maddigital.bsky.social/post/3lshgzazvns2d

leinaht.bsky.social•2 days ago

Norco fucks, everyone buy Norco

caseyexplosion.bsky.social•3 days ago

1. If you're in the mood for something spooky, I can seriously recommend Fear The Spotlight, more than a little influence from Silent Hill, some great puzzles, and a surprisingly sweet story about two girls who break into school after hours. It's marvelous!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1959390/Fear_the_Spotlight/?curator_clanid=28340174

caseyexplosion.bsky.social•3 days ago

2. Iconoclasts

I recommend this game every other sale, but with good reason! A light metroidvania kinda puzzle platformer experience with some of the best pixelart I've ever seen, and a deeply engrossing story I'd compared to like something from a JRPG.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/393520/Iconoclasts/?curator_clanid=28340174

midfi.bsky.social•3 days ago

Sold me on it, thanks!

dragondoggirl.bsky.social•3 days ago

Iconoclast's story is so fucking incredible, god

konjak.org•2 days ago

Casey my beloved

caseyexplosion.bsky.social•2 days ago

Any time, the game's a masterpiece

caseyexplosion.bsky.social•3 days ago

3. Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew

Real-time stealth tactics that plays like an elaborate murder-puzzle, which was sadly Mimimi's final game. It's currently on the deepest discount yet, a phenomenal game that didn't get near as much love as it deserved.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1545560/Shadow_Gambit_The_Cursed_Crew/?curator_clanid=28340174

caseyexplosion.bsky.social•3 days ago

4. The Excavation of Hob's Barrow

Want a neat Folk Horror point&click adventure? Wonderful slow burn plot that builds a fantastic sense of dread and intrigue, absolute top-tier voice cast. If you like The Wicker Man and old M.R James stories, this is for you!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1182310/The_Excavation_of_Hobs_Barrow/?curator_clanid=28340174

5. Another Crab's Treasure

Genuinely fantastic Soulslike that does a lot to introduce its own unique mechanics and ideas, great sense of humour throughout, and definitely one of the better games to take inspiration from FromSoft's work. An absolute delight!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1887840/Another_Crabs_Treasure/?curator_clanid=28340174

thatauntzelda.bsky.social•3 days ago

I only started playing video games in earnest about 3 years ago. I was intimidated to try this and delighted that I could play it! Challenging to be sure, but extremely rewarding. Humor, eldritch horror, super fun combat, excellent design. The team was like, 13 people, and they did such a great job.

caseyexplosion.bsky.social•3 days ago

6. Unsighted

Kinda top-down metroidvania or oldschool Zelda type game, and truly something special. Terrific pixelart, some magnificent boss battles, and lots of great upgrades and traversal mechanics that are introduced at a steady space. A true gem.

ty casey ☺️

transgander.bsky.social•1 day ago

Honestly when I bought Deltarune I got a card to pay for it SO I had just enough left from that to buy this. I wasn't planning to buy anymore games this year since I am busy irl but I can make 1 whole exception for a cool point & click horror game!

caseyexplosion.bsky.social•1 day ago

I hope you enjoy!

dogdadjenkins83.bsky.social•3 days ago

This game sounds very Lovecraftian

rockinranger.bsky.social•3 days ago

This one is sooo good.

dragonnexus.bsky.social•3 days ago

Oh no, they shut down!?

They didn't deserve that.

caseyexplosion.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yeah, sadly.

And no, they deserved every success.

prog-r0k.bsky.social•3 days ago

The only reason I haven't got this yet is because I want to play it on PC, because I have issues playing RTS on consoles. But I'm in the process of building my next gaming PC, and this is on my list

caseyexplosion.bsky.social•3 days ago

Believe it or not it works great on controller

prog-r0k.bsky.social•3 days ago

Hrm....🤔

prog-r0k.bsky.social•3 days ago

The issues being that a mouse and keyboard are infinitely superior to a controller when it comes to RTS

segu.bsky.social•2 days ago

iirc this game was from a team that makes the best RimWorld mods and knowing not only Ludeon's proclivity for buying mods off the creators but also the rep you get for making the best mods for one of the best games hopefully they landed on their feet

temtem13.itch.io•2 days ago

This is one of those games I will push onto other people and/or nudge them into watching me play it just because I NEED to see how people feel about the characters, and how that changes.

And the genius of the final boss, just absolute genius.

shadowkate.com•3 days ago

Yes! Just did a quick search through and really good list!!!

planetkhaos.bsky.social•2 days ago

Finally got to grab a few games I've been itching to try for a while.

Chromagun
Ruffy and the Riverside
Main Frames
FreeRide
Labyrinth of the Demon King
Spirit X Strike
Promise Mascot Agency
Pit of Goblin
Dreams of Aether
Blue Prince
Look Outside

I am... overwhelmed with options.

pootissandvich.bsky.social•3 days ago

The pain of seeing Lob Corp and not its sequels Casey!

Step outside the facility sometime!

caseyexplosion.bsky.social•3 days ago

I had started Library of Ruina, but didn't have much time with it. I must play more again sometime.

josar64.bsky.social•2 days ago

Tactical breach wizards is a gem.

subparsamaritan.bsky.social•1 day ago

Always appreciate these threads so much; so many great titles that I'd otherwise never hear about. Thanks Casey!

caseyexplosion.bsky.social•1 day ago

You're very welcome, I'm always happy to highlight neat games!

oxnardmantalvo.bsky.social•3 days ago

guartist.bsky.social•2 days ago

Wanted to buy a little game but had trouble finding one on my own, bought Iconoclasts from this thread👍

I have a JRPG recommendation for people:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/611710/Kaiju_Big_Battel_Fighto_Fantasy/

Started playing from my backlog and love it a lot so far, very charming and fun with a few difficulty settings

petitwallaby.bsky.social•3 days ago

Thankfully for my backlog, I already bought several of these titles, often because of your previous recommendations! LOL
