The Steam Winter sales has started.

Personally I have a big enough backlog as is, so I'm trying to cut back on purchases. How about you guys? Any games you've been waiting to go on sale? Any good deal you'd like to share with the rest of us?

Am I the only one that feels like Valve hasn't put much effort in this sale? They haven't made a good looking banner or something like those stickers of the past big sale, only that Steam award contest and the related cards for a badge.

Steam looks so dull

In any case, I never buy anything the first day (there use to be a lot of connection issues), but I'll sure get some games in the coming days.

Really split on getting either Danganronpa V3 or The Nonary Games Trilogy.

Both ~$50 each...

Just a heads up, Sword Coast Legends is going to be removed from sale on 25 of December, so now will be the last time to purchase it.

This is what my shopping list looks like so far:

Bought

None

Will buy

Vampire: The Masquerade - Redemption
Influent - several languages
Age of Mythology: Extended Edition
Sword of the Stars Complete Collection

Maybe

Knightmare Tower
DarkStar One
Monster Monpiece
Sword Coast Legends
Xenonauts
Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition

I hope Empires of the Undergrowth gets a decent discount sometime in the near future. That game looks great but I don't really trust early access games more expensive than 20€. Just in case something goes wrong.

Welp. There went almost 20 euros, which is a lot compared to how little I usually spend on sales. I got Black Mesa, Cities: Skylines - Mass Transit, Orbt XL, and Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition. I'm also considering the expansion for Grim Dawn, as well as Civilization VI. I'm probably getting the GD expansion before the end of the sale, but I'll probably end up skipping Civ VI for now. I probably won't have time to play it anyway, and its price is likely to come down once the expansion is out.

I'm gon get me some games

Playing Prison Architect... although I got it just before the Winter sale (same price as it was 75% off in the weekend deal)

Not sure if I will pick anything else up, but I will probably check it on the last couple of days and see if I want anything.

After considering for several hours whether I should buy them or not. In the end I decided to buy Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition, EARTHLOCK Collector's Edition Bundle, The Legends of Owlia, Quantum Conundrum Season Pass, Learn Japanese To Survive! Katakana War - Study Guide, Learn Japanese To Survive! Katakana War - Manga & Art Book, Knightmare Tower, Sword Coast Legends Digital Deluxe, Vampire: The Masquerade - Redemption.

^That's a lot to think about!
