Hearing that Civ 7 is going to have Steam Deck support is tempting me.
If Civ 7 reviews well and works on Steam Deck, I’ll be tempted.
I’ve been a patient gamer since buying used NES games as a little kid, but I’ll buy at launch every once in a while. I was a single adult with a full-time job when Mario Maker came out. I took a day off work just to play it nonstop. It was a childhood dream of mine to design and play my own levels and spent my teenage years making ROM hacks with Lunar Magic.
I still think about how great that day was, staying home all day to play. Sometimes it’s nice to treat yourself.
The other issue is that civ is never done until the dlc is out too.
Less temptation and more gave in already. I got myself the ultimate edition of stalker 2. The first ones were some of my all time favourite games and I’m so glad the sequel got made I felt like they deserved my money. Have to say I’m very happy with my purchase and I look forward to the dlc in the future. The atmosphere is great and the gameplay is fun. I strongly recommend it.
I’m not a patient gamer generally speaking but I put so much time into the OG trilogy (all pirated) as well as all the modded repacks over the years (countless hours spent in gamma) that I felt obligated to support them this time around. Since I am no longer a broke kid playing on a laptop that can barely handle the game it feels right to give them full price for a game finally.
I put about 8 hours into stalker 2 before I shelved it. Not because I wasn’t having fun, but I want them to just put that final layer of polish on the game before I finish it. I had already modded it to basically work the same as previous games with some adjustments to make up for the lackluster Alife on launch, but there were still some minor things that I have heard they have been fixing that will probably make finishing my save in a few months more enjoyable so I am happy to wait a little.
… something Heaven’s Vault related is coming in 2025. I really really hope it’s a video game and not just more novel things. Really hoping something to do with Mazwai!
The only 2 are final fantasy 7 rebirth and the new yakuza/like a dragon game.
Lost Judgment is tempting, but I would prefer if it didn’t have Denuvo.
Aloft looks potentially interesting but the alpha was a bit bare on content. I want to see how people feel about it in a few weeks.
For the patient gamers though, perhaps check out Astroneer or Dinkum? Maybe Stationeers or From the Depths if you’re into serious simulation.
I have over 700 games waiting on Steam, over 300 on Heroic… I’m not buying any other game until I get that backlog down.
Famous last words.
Found a Monster Hunter Wilds key for cheap, already lost.

Get the Ashes of Erebus mod for Civilization IV instead!
I am patiently waiting for Kingdom deliverance to get released and a couple of weeks or months to see what the reviews say about the state of the game. Then I will decide whether to buy it or not.
Another two games on my radar are RDR 1 and Indiana Jones, Pentiment and Slay the Princes but waiting for better discounts on those.
I’ll seriously consider EU V when it comes out, but it’s not even officially announced yet. Until then, I’m trying to whittle down my unplayed games. Hopefully I’ll get through a bunch before I find more interesting games.
