Okay well part of the problem is that I've already bought most of the games that seem interesting. Already 100% done with Satisfactory, great game!
Burnt out on total war games, not sold on Stalker 2 yet.
Haha ok well over Christmas I usually play KotOR one or two (with the big fan made mods and sometimes difficulty mods).
But this year I'm doing a Rogue Trader playthrough instead.
Also Stalker Gamma may make an appearance but that's a whole thing to set up (if you don't want to install mods etc).
In terms of Total War burnout I recommend trying the SFO mod (big overhaul of balance and mechanics) on WH3. It for sure breathes new life into the older factions.
And for some strategic top-down Real-time-with-pause fun, try Doorkickers or Doorkickers 2. Game 1 is older but a full release, whereas game 2 is at the end of a loooong early access, but it still my preference. Probably game 1 is <$10 though.
If you're still looking for something, just point me in a direction and I'll send more. This is my jam.
Ended up picking up 6 titles this sale:
Peglin
Cobalt Core
Cyberpunk
Cult of the Lamb
Animal Well
Rabit & Steel
So far I've only played the first 3, loving Peglin and Cobalt Core, not far enough into Cyberpunk to make an assessment.
Ah well it seems like you're covered for the holiday season! Enjoy.
I do appreciate your suggestions, and I will give them a look. Happy holidays!
Edit: If I may give a "retro" gaming suggestion of my own. Anybody who likes arcade style games should go immediately buy "Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved". As it is my 100/10 arcade style game recommendation. It's pure game, no story, no bullshit. 3 lives, 3 bombs, and a dream.
