This goes little beside the point, but Steam has started to expunge visual novels because of "adult content", whatever the Hell that is. Theory is games (or visual novels) in question haven't been rated by ESRB, which makes purging of them easier than games that have been rated by ESRB, regardless of content of either group of games. There is likely some double standards and related BS going on. Some (potential) targets of the Steam's purge have started migrating over to Good Old Games, and of course many of the affected games are still available elsewhere: MangaGamer, DLsite, JAST USA to name a few. Steam's loss, their gain. But does Steam's executives really believe this move is good for business and profit?

Da Capo series. I have 2nd on disc. Steam has one as well. Anime series are great.

Endless Space 2 -66%.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky for half the price, I have it, and I recommend it if you like your RPG with sprite characters who have lots of character depth, dialogue, and story. Sequels are also in sale.

Doom for half the price, and I bought it.

Overall tons of games in sale [&o]

Endless Space 2 is a GREAT game. You also do not need the DLCs, they basically do nothing. I almost bought the Gladeus Warhammer $5 off pre-release until I realized you cannot play it. Not sure why I thought you could play it, but I will wait until that comes out. I have been watching some YouTube on it.., I mean, it ain't CIV 6 (which is great), but I am pretty sure I am going to spend a lot of time on it.

Pillars of Eternity is on a big sale. I am usually not into those types of games, but it is well made and you can easily sink 100 or so hours into.

Darn sales! [:D]

-Running with Rifles. Cool little game that is very addictive, fun and tactical. You can also play online with friends.
-Operation Flashpoint bundle. A clasic, and you can play multiplayer which I do with a Steam group.
-Squad. Was waiting for this one to go on sale for some time.
-Stardew Valley. For the wify.

Suggestions that I already have:

- Pillars mentioned above is a great game If you ever played "Baldurs Gate".
- 40k Space Wolf. Love how this game plays. The mix of deck use is unique.
- Rainbow Six Siege. Fast and fun, better with friends.
- Seven The Days Long Gone. Great game overall.
- The Division. Great game!
- The Forest. A good survival game.

Thinking of...

-Project Zomboide.


Many more but I just cant remember them, so it´s good to have folks post there suggestions.

Cheers,

Red

Not a sale, but the game "Russian Fishing 4" is a free to play game which is strangely relaxing, and rather well made. Worth looking into imo.

Good one. I recommend you to reinforce it with v1.13 mod. If you choose to have all the weapons, you'll be amazed about the variety. It has such weapons as Finnish SMG and PPSh (Soviet made replica of Finnish sub-machine gun).

Thank you @kuokkanen! Wilco that, yes the v1.13 is a must have for JA-2 [:)]

Here´s a vid from the modder of the Rebalancing mod for those of you who are interested, great stuff IMHO...
