South Park™: The Stick of Truth™ - 2,99€

10,32€ in total

I played Back 4 Blood a bit and thought... this is good, I better get the Annual Pass with it, so
Back 4 Blood Annual Pass - 3,99€
Which, strange enough, turns out to be a lot cheaper then buying the Back 4 Blood Deluxe edition directly! (Which is 8,99€ instead of the 6,98€ I payed now)

I already posted my intentions, here's what I've finally bought:

Dungeonmans (2014)
UnReal World (2016)
Grim Dawn (2016)
Two Charity DLCs for This War Of Mine (2014)
Total: €13.47

Dungeonmans and UnReal World were in The Traditional Roguelikes Bundle, and having the other 2 games already, it was only €7 (15% off over the games' discount).
I have €2 in wallet, but nothing tells me "hey I should be in your library" loud enough.

I was planning on getting Firewatch ($1.99) but a friend of mine gifted the game for me.
So, leaving that game out of this, I've got * Kingdom Come: Deliverance Royal Edition -7,99€
(Tho I've used 4$ from my steam wallet)
Tales from the Borderlands - 1.99$ (Waiting for 4 cards to get available to sell)
and Tales of the Neon Sea -2,96€ as a gift for a friend

I'm tempted to get Indiana Jones titles from 1999 and 2003, to tide me over until the new one goes on sale.
Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine
Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb

Has anyone tried either of these on a modern system?

Bought:
ChillPulse - 3,74€ : love it, it is mac compatible, the pixel vibe is cozy, you can prepare a beverage and sell your fishes, also a few lovely accessories (pets including a hedgehog or even a duck).
Zipp's Cafe - 1,99€ : didn't try it yet
Love, Ghostie - 16,57€ : too expensive for what it offers, a playthrough is 2h (and kind of boring), and then you just hunt achievements. A few cute things but not worth it to me because the content is just too little and it gets repetitive quickly. I am trying to refund it as I am eyeing a visual novel instead.
Vampire Therapist - 11,09€ : I absolutely love this one! A visual novel about mature vampires going to therapy with as a gameplay identifying psychology themes in the speech. It really helps in real life too. And a DLC about couple therapy is coming soon.

Refunded:
Short Trip - 1,79€ : it is a beautiful cozy game and I had a nice time with it but it is kind of short and I am not interested in the competitive mode. I preferred to refund this one being a little short on money right now, but would definitively recommend it.

I'm not sure about conversion to $ but I think I went over 200.

Baldur's Gate 3
all Rust DLCs
Unboxing the Cryptic Killer
Path of Exile 2 - King of the Faridun Supporter Pack
Greece & West Balkans ETS2 DLSc
and as gifts:
Baldur's Gate 3
Unboxing the Cryptic Killer

I probably hopefully won't buy anything more...

Forza Horizon 4 Ultimate - Bought before unlisted $19.99
Medieval Dynasty - $22.74 - Bought for a friend
Silent Hill 2 - $41.99 on Green Man Gaming - Bought for family member
Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition - $46.90 - Was hoping for a better deal but ehh. Wanted something to benchmark my new GPU
Balatro & Peglin Bundle - $23.83 - Had my eye on these for a while, should keep me occupied on my Steam Deck

Looks like $155.45 total, despite buying fewer games this year I spent quite a bit more than usual. Obligatory "I miss Steam flash sales" comment.

Total War: WARHAMMER: 90% off, $5.99
SurrounDead: 60% off, $4.79

0, didn't buy anything yet again.

I think I've never spent that much during a Steam sale before.

Bought for myself:

• PRIM
• Broken Sword - Shadow of the Templars: Reforged
• Last Epoch
• Drova - Forsaken Kin
• Methods: The Canada Files (it's an EA game, and I don't usually buy EA games - but the previous game in the series was so amazing that I've decided to support the devs)
• Dragon Age™: The Veilguard

Gifted as a part of two Secret Santa events:

• Sons Of The Forest
