So I've just bought a PC. I haven't had a new computer for 12 years. The newest game I've played is Subnautica (and Below Zero). I've basically missed everything from the last 15 years.
I own a few games that I haven't been able to play until now (Fallout 4, Star Wars Squadrons, Witcher 3, few others). Thinking I probably have enough games in my backlog to play those and maybe look at new stuff next sale.
Enjoy your new computer! There's some good games that came out in that time period, so you'll have plenty to enjoy. You'll probably get some really good prices on some of them too!
I'm up to about 30 unplayed games in my Steam library. I really need to stop buying more.

Last night for $4.99 and $2.99 I got Worms W.M.D. and Worms Armageddon on Steam since I haven't played any worms games outside of Worms 2: Armageddon on xbox360.
Tried Armageddon last night and it was pretty fun. Only gripe I have with it is that I had to plug in a mouse and keyboard to my deck dock.
Have yet to try W.M.D. yet and don't know if it has an offline singleplayer player vs computer mode, but I've seen enough videos of people playing it for me to think I'd have a good time playing it.
Picked up Shadow of War. Only ever played Shadow of Mordor so interested to check it out especially given the 90%+ discount.

I have never played a From Software game. Sekiro is really tempting to get, because I never could see myself dodging/rolling around the big enemies and bosses. Mostly human-sized enemies and parrying sounds much more appealing to me. But the difficulty has scared me off thus far and it never went below 50% off
Think of it as more a rhythm game then a souls like, probably better you don't have to unlearn any dark souls habits

I'm somewhat the same. Really no interest in Dark Souls/Elden Ring or any of that, but Sekiro did catch my attention before. The difficulty is a turn off though. I often play games on hard difficulty, but I prefer it to be a choice, and to be able to turn it down if it's too difficult.

I'm waiting for helldivers 2 to go on sale but I think that's gonna take a while.
I bought Deus Ex: Human Revolution for 2.99€ and I've been enjoying it. I've always heard good things about the series, but never tried it before. Definitely feeling that Cyberpunk had some inspiration from Deus Ex.
I also bought Firewatch for 4.99€ and beat it in a day. I wasn't spoiled about the story, but I had read a bit about it. At the end of the day, I'm glad I played it, but I'm not sure that I would necessarily recommend it.
All the Deus Ex games go for ridiculously cheap and are such a great fun-per-dollar ratio IMHO.
Yes, even Invisible War, if one embraces its weird consoley quirks. XD (bias: I enjoyed it on my OG Xbox back in the day. Universal ammo is so stupid though.)
Still gotta play Mankind Divided. I hope they finish the series one day. They absolutely nailed it with the iconic aesthetic, and Adam Jensen is just so freaking cool. :)
After a while I finally picked up Parkitect. I've been having a blast with OpenRTC2 lately, and everyone says if you like Rollercoaster Tycoon, Parkitect really follows that idea.
Still burning through the old school games, but I'm excited to play this one! Especially with workshop support.

Just picked up battlefield 1 cause my friend wanted to play. Wonder if I should get the other battlefield games
I don't play the series, but they're definitely very cheap right now!
Nah, Warframe still keeps getting updates and it's free and not p2w so I'll see y'all there
It's something I've looked at before, and while it looks like it could be a fun game, I don't have that much time to spend grinding! It definitely appears to be one of the more fair f2p games out there though.
Warframe is the most p2w game I have ever played, and I don't understand how people can say otherwise. Imagine you could buy the best pve gear in a mmo like WoW instead of grinding out raids. Warframe is this and then some. Resources? You can buy that. Skip crafting times? Yes. Buy boosters to shorten leveling and item acquisition? Definitely multiple versions. And the game still creates problems and sells the solution, the classic monetization of inventory space.
The game is very good, has an amazing story, and the movement system is the best, but it's extreme p2w if you want it to be. At its core, It is a very grindy looter shooter which is severely monetized.
You can pay to get things done more quickly, but you don't have to pay to win. It just takes more time. From what I hear from players of the game, there's no actual gameplay advantages locked behind a paywall, only cosmetic items. They obviously want you to pay to proceed faster, but it doesn't appear to be like some games that make free players use lower tier weapons and items. You can earn all gameplay items through grinding it out and never need to spend any money.
Critical mistake thinking paywall is pay to win. There is a difference, one is locked, the other can open their wallets but don't have to, but can. Any type of advantage that can be bought with money IS pay to win. The key word is advantage and can be applied to any view point, like 'skipping' and 'easier'. A person that pays will always be ahead of a person that doesn't, hence paying to win.
I mean, if you are trying to argue against this means you probably wouldn't mind buying premium bullets in a video game, like a CEO, John Riccitiello, suggested. Premium bullets would be very convenient and make killing players easier! You wouldn't need to grind levels as long with those boosts!
Rule of thumb is to ask: would paying allow me to finish the game faster? Yes means pay to win.

I'm thinking about either Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth or Warhammer40k: Rogue Trader.
However, I wouldn't be playing them anytime soon with my backlog. So, I'm likely to just sit this sale out.
Dead Space (remastered, I guess?). Only played a demo version that had 5 minutes of play, way back in the aughts, and have been meaning to try it since.

Bought Icarus and State of Decay 2 today. One was 50% off and the other 66%. I almost bought them last night. Glad I waited. Always on the lookout for more co-op games to play with the wife. Can't wait for Ark 2!
A little PSA: buying a game just before a sale, is a legitimate reason for a refund according to their Refund FAQ

I bought Dreamfall Chapters, which is back to its historical low on Steam. I've heard good things about it, and Dustborn from the same dev looks super promising.
I bought the entire spiderweb software catalogue and now I will just play spiderweb software games for the rest of my life I guess.
