What did you buy? How much did you spend? [Summer Sale 2023 Edition]

After a lot of consideration I bought just 4 5 games and 2 DLCs:

1. Control Ultimate Edition - it was on my list for too long, I couldn't find any more reason to put off buying :)
2. Pizza Tower - I like "fast paced 2D platformer" games and I kinda trust that this one is really good. 96.57% positive reviews out of 32,952. And game was released just in January this year. It can't be bad!
3. Death's Door - this one was on my radar since release or close to it. It even became more expensive since I added it to my WL... Also a lot of people around me gives very positive feedback about this game, so why not.
4. One Hand Clapping - The main reason I bought it was the hope of having fun with my little daughter, who I hope will enjoy the game.
5. Vampire Survivors: Game + DLC Bundle - I already had base game and see my self playing it soonish, so bought bundle for DLCs for a pretty good price.
6. Rayman® Origins - oh welp... One more addition to list just 7 hours before the sale ends. This game is not avaiable in my region so when I saw I can get it for just around 1,87€ I was like "Heck! I need it immediately!" :D

Total spent: 13,17€ 14,33€ 16,2€

I only bought Little Noah: Scion of Paradise Special Edition for Nintendo Switch™.

Wanted to buy Steam deck, not available in my country. Bummer.

Anachronox ($0.97)
Ardein.Fall ($1.24)
Conga Master ($0.99)
Connect The Dots ($0.99)
Dungeon Siege ($0.97)
Escape Goat ($1.24)
The Falconeer - The Hunter ($0.61)

God of War
Gotham Knights
Immortals Fenyx Rising (Gold Edition) - UbiConnect not steam - since it was cheaper and I honestly don't mind, has to run through UbiConnect either way.

Gonna also buy in a few days:
Surge 2
Darksiders III
both via bundles to save a few cents more

If I'm counting gifts for friends, then over $50.
If just for me, then about $30.

For myself I got Sonic Frontiers and Mark of the Ninja Remastered

I didn't mean to buy anything, but...
Tangle Tower has been on my wishlist for quite a while and I loved the demo. Right now it's only 3,35€, so I grabbed it. And the developer's previous games are also heavily discounted, so got added to cart as well. (Haunt the House: Terrortown for 0,79€, Detective Grimoire for 1,13€).
Then Soulflow for 0,59€, The Innsmouth Case for 1,24€, Heaven Will Be Mine for 2,49€, Hustle Cat for 1,67€, NAIRI: Tower of Shirin for 0,99€, The Magister for 3,12€ and a soundtrack for under 1€.
16,35€ in total, what a steal 😊

I spend nothing cuz I have too many games to get through although I wanted to buy oxygen not included

Two DLC (AC Unity Secrets of Revolution and Mortal Shell DLC for 2,3€) and a gift for friend, which comes out to 20€. Already have enough games to play so I think wasting money on games that I won't play is a bit idiotic.

Nothing. No money this time.

Sucks getting your hours cut. Planned on at least getting the Outward Three Brothers DLC too.

Nothing for me. I'm making a conscious effort to work on my backlog, I'd like to clear a few games before buying anything new. Nothing on my wishlist is at a better than usual sale price anyhow, so I don't feel I'm missing out on much.

Travellers Rest (humblebundle) $13.11
A Little To The Left (Fanatical) $12.99
A Little To The Left DLC (steam): $8.95

= $35.05

For now I bought Sizeable and Monstrous Love which came out 6,68 €. But a friend offered me What remains of Edith Finch too.
I will probably buy a few other games, I have a few calming/cozy games in my cart right now.

Uhmm I could buy many wishlist-games, but that would cost me a lot to buy them all at once, and not sure when I will be able to play them all. So I will wait for the moment I really want/need to play a wishlist game and wait again until it's at discount again. ;-)

So in the end I bought one bigger game and many "fast food" games for in between:

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice - 4,49€
The Samaritan Paradox - 0,27€
The Room - 0,49€
The Room Two - 0,49€
Portal of Evil - 0,49€
Contract With The Devil - 0,49€
Hostil - 0,59€
My Dream is a Lost Memory - 0,63€
100 hidden cats - 0,23€
100 hidden eternals - 0,31€
100 hidden snails 2 - 0,31€
100 hidden birds 2 - 0,31€
100 hidden cats 2 - 0,31€
Cute Dogs - 0,20€
Cute Cats - 0,22€
Cute Cats 2 - 0,22€
Cute Cats 3 - 0,22€
Cute Girls: Find Secrets - 0,22€

10,49€

I got Elden Ring on the humble store yesterday cos i've been getting the monthly choice lately so i got a little extra off. $36 USD, wheeeee. I've got to spend money on Prime Day to upgrade my RAM so unlikely I'll buy anything else this time. Backlog is big enough as is, oof.

So I finally spent some money too. Less than I expected but I don't feel like I "must" have something else too asap.

Bright Memory - 3.29€
Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time - 20.39€
The Vanishing of Ethan Carter - Collector's Edition Upgrade - 0.89€
Full Throttle Remastered - 3.74€
Bloody Spell - 4.99€

SUPERHOT - 6.74€
Road 96 - 6.98€
Final Fantasy VII - 6.49€

Furi - Modore Edition - 7.46€
