I had a nice haul yesterday. :)

PS5:

Stray

Vinyl:

Gris soundtrack

Was very happy to see that Gris soundtrack got a reprint last week, so I jumped on that - gorgeous music. As for the games, I decided to cancel my Stellar Blade preorder & take advantage of the b2g1 that Gamestop is running. I know I wouldn't play SB right away if I did pick it up, and by the time I got around to it it would probably be going for half price (or less). I got those 3 for less than what I had put down on SB, and I hadn't even quite paid it off yet.

Nice. I think I'm about done shopping and ready to checkout in the next day or two. I rarely post my hauls but maybe I will this time. Although I'm buying some that will be recognizable, many won't, lol.

Edit: And phase I'm curious what you think of Signalis when you get to it. I'm really interested in that one.

I’ll post my impressions when I play it. I’m playing Stray now, and I think that you’ll like it.

I don't know, just a hassle, I guess. Anyway, here's what I picked up in the Summer Steam Sale this evening:

Anyway, I already owned a few of these on console, but I realized that I'm unlikely to really play much of anything outside of PC going forward. I may fire up a console for nostalgia's sake sometime in the future, but I really just prefer to stick to PC.

The one's I already had were Celeste (on itch.io) but I wanted it on Steam because it's an all-time great to me and one of the best platformers I've ever played.

And I already had Dragon Age II, Far Cry 3, and POP : Forgotten Sands on PS3, but they were cheap, and I still want to get to them one day. (I don't know why I picked up a few UBI games. I must be having a mental breakdown. :P)

I also never picked up The Witcher 3 on console, and even though I own and haven't played 1 or two, it was too good a deal to pass up. I didn't get the DLC, even though everyone raves about it. I figure that by the time I ever get around to it, GOG will have probably given away the GOTY version anyway, rendering this purchase pointless, lol.

All of the rest are new to my library, physical or digital, and I'm really excited about them. The only one where I really took a chance and offered a bit of charity was for Grundheim. It had ZERO reviews on Steam, and I thought it was potentially interesting, but if not, it was only $1.

Most of the rest are probably a mix that many of you may have never heard of - an eclectic collections of curiosities and oddities mostly, games that appeal to me but maybe not most of you guys.

I got 31 games for $85 and tax. That's a pretty dang good deal imho. About $3 a game overall, and who knows how many untold hours of - hopefully fun - gaming in this bunch.

I haven’t heard of most of those, but that’s how you find hidden gems especially for those prices. I buy games that I haven’t heard of if they look interesting and are cheap, because sometimes they turn out to be games that I really enjoy. Sometimes they don’t, but that’s a chance that I take to find stuff that I really like.

Thanks for posting your list Izzy - I do recognize a lot of those, but there are a lot I don't so I'll have to go through those and see if any strike my fancy. :)

I picked these up today in Play-Asia's 5 for $10 Steam sale:

Strider (only one I already had, on PS4 I believe, but I love this game so wanted it on PC as well)
Panzer Paladin
Mail Mole
Neoverse
Fae Tactics
