What did you buy? How much did you spend? [Summer Sale 2025 Edition]

Just bought these ones, about 17-18 games for $20.15 . I was tempted to buy games from Far Cry franchise but it seems like this wasn't the best offer we had comparing to the last year.

• Alan Wake Franchise - $0.84
• GRIS - $0.74
• Control Ultimate Edition - $1.75
• Crysis Remastered Trilogy - $6.92
• Spiritfarer®: Farewell Edition - $1.04
• STEINS;GATE - $1.04
• Besiege - $0.69 nice
• SteamWorld Build - $1.69
• SteamWorld Quest: Hand of Gilgamech - $0.84
• Severed Steel - $0.84
• Road Redemption - $1.22
• shapez - $0.54
• Furi - $0.81
• Down in Bermuda - $0.65
• Poly Bridge - $0.54

For now :
Steam : Wavetale + Supermoves: World of Parkour + Bloon TD 5 for 2.81 €
Trade : Kaze and the Wild Masks (get for a trade for 0.99 € of steam credits)
Total = 4 Games for 3.80 €.

About 5$ so far Blood Omen 2, Crash N Sane Trilogy.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/731490/Crash_Bandicoot_N_Sane_Trilogy/ 3.99$
https://store.steampowered.com/app/242960/Blood_Omen_2_Legacy_of_Kain/ .97 $

Likely (next to) nothing on Steam, except for something like Railgrade or such. Many discounts are just meh. E.g. Cities: Skylines II and Baldur's Gate 3 - both released in 2023. The discounts, -20%.

But... looking at what XBox Pass has included these days, it looks quite nice. Like:

Expedition 33, TESIV: Oblivion Remastered. Final Fantasy XVI, Starfield, Atomfall, Doom: The Dark Ages, Frostpunk 2, Diablo IV, Stalker 2, Cities: Skylines II, The Alters

Bought individually on Steam right now, that would be around 455 Euro here. But at about the price of Humble Choice, plenty of stuff to check out. At least half of that I may be playing only an evening or two anyhow, and if something gets me hooked, might pick it up at next sale (it shouldn't make a difference, for saves, if launched via Xbox- or Steam-client).

This sale has many games on my wishlist reduced > 80%. At the Moment i have only buyed
Beyond: Two Souls -90%

I'm also with those who are trying to tackle backlog and have decided not to buy anything until I play at least some of the games already in my library.

I bought Triangle Strategy!
Looking forward to playing that!

So far I got nothing and don't think that will change, just not many discounts that are better then last time so see no real reason to buy it now!
Who knows, maybe I cave and buy something but I didn't buy anything during Summer and Winter sale for a few years now...

I bought a game called Fledgling Manor for just under 6 euros, though I got it for around 2 euros since I had some card money in my wallet. I enjoyed it a lot. It's about a guy who gets turned into a vampire and then immediately forced to compete on a vampire reality tv show.

Fledgling Manor

Tbh I'm not sure if I'll get anything else, most of the games I'm most interested in right now only came out in the last year or so, so they haven't gotten a significant discount yet. (and even some of the ones I'm interested in that have been out 2 or 3 years now haven't gotten big discounts yet...)

I'm thinking of getting Assassin's Creed 2 though since I've been learning Italian and it has italian voice acting....but I've heard lately there's been issues with Ubisoft breaking the game so it makes me a bit cautious about it...

Because I am a sucker for great Metroidvania games.

Tales of Arise base game US $9.99
Kingdom Come 2 weapon pack for Dead Island 2 US $2.00

NSFW warning

Neko Miko, its discount the same as has been for the past 5 years... so likely never to be cheaper, needed to spend ~$4 more to get another card so went ahead and grabbed for more cat girls.

so that is $7.98+ sales tax spent on myself... more spent on gifts... am I doing it right?

Co-Op Bundle: Urban Flow + Knights & Guns! (1,17€ | -83%)
Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth: Complete Edition (3,27€ | -92% on JoyBuggy)

Not Tonight 2 (3,01€ | -82% because I own Not Tonight already)
Pixel Cafe (1,27€ | -90%)
112 Operator - Facilities DLC (0,79€ | -80%)
112 Operator - Pandemic Outbreak (1,13€ | -80%)

If I buy everything the total spend will be 26,86€

Most of these purchases happened before the Summer Sale. None of these were bought on Steam; the Steam purchases will follow in the next days.

I stocked up on PlayStation games, older JRPGs and some great indies I've been missing out on.
And of course always some Paradox DLC. I still might get Age of Wonders 4 Season 2 too.
