Ok, that's probably not actually the case, but 'tis the season for sales, and as expected, Steam is the virtual place you want to be. I've gone through the trouble of exploring the best deals available. Here are my top 5 recommended purchases for this year."
Blindfolding myself and clicking a Steam page at random would serve me better recommendations than Steam’s algorithm
Hmm, not sure I agree with that. The recommendations I get are usually pretty good, but then again I have pretty large library of games on Steam and hundreds of them in my wish list, along with lots of curators I follow for it to build recommendations off of. On occasion it will throw me a random FIFA game or something I've never bought or shown interest in, but mostly its decent IMO.
Dive into the best Metroidvania games on Steam, from hidden gems to top-rated classics, and embark on unforgettable adventures!
Players can pay to edit their character, resurrect the dead and other actions.
Yet Helldivers 2 gets a pass? Y’know a GotY contender by the name of RE4 had them and so does Devil May Cry V. The funny thing is I enjoyed both of those games thoroughly without having to buy a single microtransaction.
What I do consider a valid complaint is not being able to start a new game or being able to edit your character. That’s kind of a seriously baffling decision, but then I think how I played Dragon’s Dogma 1 and I never edited my character and I just did a 100% playthrough on a single file and didn’t start a NG since. So, I don’t think these are really going to impact me, but I can see how it will others.
I was going to pay full price to support this game because I've been waiting for it for forever but I think I'll wait until I get it for free from Epic or a Humblebundle monthly.
I am not defending Capcom, as I am not a fan of MTX in single player games. I do however belive they were open to reviewers about having MTX in their game. The reviewers just decided to leave that part out. Which is very disingenuous. There are some companies that get away with these things. Image if this was done by EA, Ubisoft, or even Activision? I am positive those defending Capcom, would have had their pitchforks ready if the companies listed above did this
Hmm still not to sure of the magic game [which is currently 4.99 for just the game now. and 20.00 for everything]. After experiencing that its extremely stripped down with no real deck editor. Yet I don't have too many card games on my steam account and could be something I'll play off and on I suppose. Just not to sure...
Though a personal recommendation I would add is torchlight. Pretty fun game.
Duels of the Planeswalkers is definitely simplified from the full-blown TCG. Definitely keep that in mind if you're going to purchase it. I for one feel that it compliments a quick pick up and play experience, but not everyone will appreciate the change.
Mass Effect 2 for $10 was a steal.
Too bad I already had it :(
My recommendations not limited by 5
-Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light
-Super Meat Boy
-Just Cause 2
-Magic the Gathering
-Worms Reloaded
-The Witcher
-The Misadventures of P.B Winterbottom (for 0.50cents this is a steal)
-Bioshock (5bucks)
