What to buy from leftover money in my Steam Wallet? (giveaway included)

Yeah, it's just ... that's what I did the past 2 or 3 sales. In summer I'll probably have €50 and still no clue.

Oh wait I guess that counts as pixel graphics, but if your looking for an interesting twist on an rpg I would still recommend it.

That's a good question, I don't even know, if I like HOGs or not. I got few Artifex Mundi ones from bundles, haven't had the time yet to decide whether it's my thing or not. I probably wouldn't buy them via Steam though, as they kinda fit into the casual category and are bundled quite often. But sure, recommend away. Doesn't hurt to know the nice ones.

Again, I saved that money for quite some time now. It's not getting any better saving it until the next sale or the one after next...

I would also highly recommend Fable: The Lost Chapters, it's one of the best RPG's on PC ever. I would also recommend TLC over Anniversary edition as the latter didn't really improve graphics that much they added bloom which in my opinion makes it look worse. Some models look worse as well. Not to mention the menu and inventory system in Anniversary edition is console-like while the TLC has proper menu/inventory system.

Yes, that's not a bad idea. I'll definitely consider this one. Speaking of Fable, it's just sad, that Fable 3 isn't on Steam anymore (or anywhere else for that matter).

Hmm, what's this thing with all those polygon graphics games lately? I'm pretty much don't like block graphics and retro pixel games, still uncertain about polygons. Is there anything to do in "The First Tree" ... or is more like a walking sim?

Wouldn't be a challenge, if I liked what everybody does, right? :-)

Okay, concerning suggestion #5, please do tell me: is the second LiS game as linear and don't choices matter at all, like in the first one? I bought the first one, pretty much when it came out, I totally loved it. I was looking forward to play it through several times, try different choices, get different endings, only to find out that the last episode destroyed all my hopes. It's linear as hell and there's basically only one choice in the game that really mattered (rigth at the end). I don't have high hopes for the second part (prequel whatever), because we already know what happens to Rachel, consequently there cannot be any meaningful choices either, as the plot is doomed to proceed what we know from Lis? Or am I missing a point here?
Apart from that, #4 is a board game, already got #3, and #2 is a platformer. I will consider Factorio. Thanks for that hint.

I'll second your recommendations, but I would warn OP that Hollow Knight is a demanding platformer, and that was on OP's no-fly list. IT's a metroidvania, but the platforming is more difficult than, say, Shantae and the Pirate's Curse, and it's possible I've reached a point where I simply can't advance because I can't pull off the platforming combos required to get through certain points (and it sounds like it gets harder later in the game, anyway).

Yes, I do know that hiding my profile and wishlist may be a little inconvenient, but i do like my privacy :-). And rest assured, that playtimes and achievements wouldn't be of much help, as I tend play in offline mode whenever possible to prevent Steam from recording these things. Getting some unbiased suggestions certainly seems to help.
And yes, you noticed correctly. third person stealth is not excluded at all. I will consider Shadwen, as I've had it on my wishlist for a while, being uncertain, as I read both good and bad things in reviews. Already got and finished XCom (without expansion though), even bought XCOM2 via Humble Monthly, but didn't even try it yet. Hard West definitely seems interesting. I won Epistory here on SG, it's still on my todo list .. I do play my wins here, just not in the order of winning them. Please tell me, is Transistor anything like Bastion, concerning the controls? I definitely had a hard time getting aquainted with Bastion because I'm too clumsy to handle the controls (maybe it's better with a controller ... I don't have a controller though).

+1 the Lego Star Wars and Batman games are great. Not tried any other ones.

Make sure you have a controller tho or it's utter torture.

Happy 🍰 day!

Happy cake day ^_^

I hate HOGs, but I really love Hidden Folks!

+1 Such a cool game and for that price it's a steal :D

Yes, that's actually not a bad idea. Thanks for that.

+1 for Planet Coaster. For that price it's a goddamn steal. I bought the game on release at full price & have no regrets. Such a good game.

Reigns is currently down to 99 cents on Android via the Google Play store. It seems like it would work as well or better as a mobile game, and if you use Google Opinion Rewards Surveys, you likely have some spare change in your Play store account.

The Witcher and me is basically a story of its own. That game franchise should be ideal for me, I have no doubt they're great games. Nice story and all. It's just, you always have to play as the Witcher. And I simply cannot stand the Witcher. It's like watching a movie where you cannot stand the main actor. It's pointless. At some point you just have to turn it off. One free Steam weekend with the Witcher 2 gave me the same experience. I just deleted the game after a day or two.
I already have Divinity: OS. I'll probably wait a bit on Divinity OS 2, as it's still kina new and expensive and because I haven't played the first part much yet. I will consider Dominions.

As I said over here, I'm pretty much in a love/hate relationship with Life is Strange. I would have said it's my favorite game of all times, up to the point when the final episode came out. It felt rushed, turned the whole game into something linear, reducing the incentive to play it again to zero and I felt betrayed that none of my choices (except the last one) didn't even matter. It's not what they advertised. Choices don't matter. I'm still unsure whether I should buy the prequel or not.

Happy cake day! Which Penumbra exactly? According to Steam there is like 4 of them, all first person horror stuff.
