https://www.dekudeals.com/ for Switch, and it's adding PS5/Xbox lists too.

Before deku added PS5 I used https://psprices.com/ and it's pretty good.

https://gg.deals/ has been recommended by a few others and I recently switched over from isthereanydeal, too.

Circus Electrique is currently 75% off - $5.

I have only played 30 minutes of so but it seems like a lot of fun.

Game must not have done well. Please keep sharing your impressions. I've had my eye on that game. Thank you.

Thank you,
Chad

One of the great features of https://gg.deals/ is you can pretty quickly tell if you already own something. For instance, that walking simulator caught your eye? Well look it up in gg.deals, it might already be in GamePass. That deck building roguelite seems like it's up your alley? Your past self agrees with your current self, because gg.deals says it's in that humble bundle you bought last year. Unfortunately, you have to do your own remembering of what bundles you've purchased.

Also with gg.deals you can sync Steam, GOG and Humble accounts to import wishlists and filter out games you own on those platforms.
I don't sync my Humble account so not sure of the status of bundles but I do regularly check the deals on my wishlist items.

Remembering what games I bought where is part of the reason I run Playnite, as it combines all my PC game libraries (plus there's some level of Xbox and PS integrations but I've never looked into them). I see a game and just do a quick search on there and I never have to think about whether I'm missing something or not. Gog Galaxy technically does this too, but it's still a bit lacking for me.

The biggest problem with adopting Playnite is getting it set up just the way you want it (views and extensions) and getting used to it, which took about a month for me. I just have it boot with my PC now and hardly ever bother with manually opening the other launchers. I only occasionally need to fix or redo an account login. It really does simplify PC gaming in the right ways for me.

I just discovered Playnite recently after using GoG Galaxy for a while. I do like it better but I wish it had an online component so I could see my library before buying something, even if it was a read-only list or something. I haven't gotten to the point of using it as a launcher though - I will have to look into that.

OMFG BLOODY RALLY SHOW YOU GUYS.

If you’d picked it up when it was free on Epic.

Or if you have Game Pass, where the whole trilogy is available.

Free Sims 4 bundle on Epic this week.

And mystery game for next week, so it might be a good one, limited keys? Seems odd. Might want to check in right at 1pm eastern.

Epic freebies usually post at 11AM ET. Is next week's at a nonstandard time, or are you being extremely clever and trying to hoard all the limited keys to yourself?

Oh you're right, it's 6 days and 17 hours from now.

No I'm just used to Steam and Nintendo eShop starting sales at 1pm.

FYI if you were ever interested in checking out Elder Scrolls Online GMG has the High Isle Collection for $14.03. This comes with the base game and all the chapter expansions: Morrowind, Summerset, Elseweyr, Greymoor and High Isle.

It also comes with the two additional classes: Warden and Necromancer.

It's a pretty fun MMO that you can easily play solo. The expansions are pretty meaty and so is the base game. In the last two expansions you can even pick up an NPC companion that can either tank, dps, heal or a bit of each. You should not have to spend additional real world money in the game unless you want cosmetic stuff like different armor or mounts.

$19.64 will get you the collectors edition which comes with several other goodies - including some armor and a mount.

First Epic Mystery game seems to be Death Stranding. Edit Which it turns out is a repeat. Forgot that was already on the pile from a previous freebie.

Yeah that was the one they screwed up last time and gave the directors cut for the first 30 min or hour and then switched it back to standard.

Tactics Ogre is $30 everywhere. Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop. Both PS4 and Switch

I see Jupiter Hell is 50% off on Steam. Anyone have any opinions on the game?
Thank you, Chad

It didn't grab me.

It's fairly punishing and I prefer rogueLITE to rogueLIKE (i.e. there's no perma-progression). I dunno, I played a couple of runs and moved on.

Thank you. I’m more of a Lite person too.

I do love it, but because it's hard. It has a ton of variety and systems. And it's not, like, Souls-hard. Just hard.

Command & Conquer Remastered Collection $3 on Steam. Think it has been this price a bunch of times but I just bought it. All the C&C and Red Alert games with DLC remastered to work on modern PCs. Why doesn't Kane age?

Fallout New Vegas Ultimate free on Epic. Not sure if the DLC are any good as I had the original when it was $5 on Steam one time and never got extras

Isn't he an alien?

The NV DLC are some of the best Fallout content ever.
Old World Blues alone is worth it.

Some good memories in there but I recently tried to replay some of them through the open source engine OpenRA and the gameplay didn't age well even with some modern enhacements...
