The sale runs from today until January 5th at 10 am PT/1pm ET/6pm GMT over at the Steam store. From a glance at the Steam homepage: Sony’s cinematic hack-and-slasher God Of War is 40% off, as is Square Enix throwback tactical RPG Triangle Strategy, while modern indie greats like Unpacking and Noita are 30% and 50% off respectively. Even the already-cheap Vampire Survivors manages a 20% discount, reducing its price to £3.19. To endorse just one deal, I’d go for Marvel’s Guardians Of The Galaxy 65% reduced down to £17.49. It came out last year, surprised everyone by being actually good, but still undersold. It’s got good found-family vibes and would be a nice game to cosy down with over the holidays. Not that I’ve completed Guardians Of The Galaxy. Normally at this time of year, I lament how few games I’ve played for a substantial number of hours over the previous 12 months. No more! My New Year’s resolution, if I had one, isn’t to tackle my backlog or finally plow 60-hours into whatever blockbuster I meant to get round to. It’s to accept that games are things I dabble with. I will play a lot of games in 2023 and I will play most of them once and never again and that’s fine. No more “backlog”. The Epic Games Store also have a winter sale underway, during which they’re giving away 15 days of free games. Today’s freebies are a trio of classic Fallout games.
