Steam Summer Sale 2024: June 27 - July 11

[bobarossa]

I've put Humankind and its Together We Rule expansion pack in my cart.  Totals $12 which is under the $15 limit I put on steam games.  Now to search for Grogheads comments on the game.  I see it has a pretty low rating on Steam (65% positive).

I have been playing it recently and like it. It's different enough from Civ games and the artwork and music is great. Still playing my first game.

Thx for replying.  I had read more reviews and removed it but I'll reconsider. 

Added Humankind and DLC back plus ended up adding Rise of the White Sun for ~$10.  Purchased.  Hadn't bought anything from Steam since last summer's sale (Medieval TW 2)

...not only did Steam sting my wallet pretty good...I also stocked up on WDS titles...

Overall, I feel pretty good about my purchases. Not to derail the thread, I have been particularly impressed with some of the more recent WDS titles and updates; I thought I would never say that.


But like most folks (probably), this means I won't be buying anything that is not on sale in the future.

I went from a sub-total of about 110.00 when the sale first started down to 40.00 spent, with possibly another 20.00 before the sale ends.

I bought Palworld, Halls of Torment, and Saga Frontier for about $40 all in.

[ArizonaTank]

I bought Palworld...

Palworld is my guilty pleasure. 50+ hours cultivating a team of those cutesy, Pokemon-like creatures into a fearsome "A Team," capable of taking on the nastiest bosses. 

[Gusington]

I didn't even know a remake of the original Wizardry was released, and literally 2 hours before the Steam sale ended...had to have it. I am weak 

[Silent Disapproval Robot]

I just got an email offering me an "All time high" discount for Wizardry.  I assumed it was for the remake that came out 5-6 years ago.  I clicked the link and was surprised to learn that this was a brand new remake.

Then I saw the price and cursed their "discount".

[ArizonaTank]

I think I spent more on this sale than I ever have on a Steam sale. The only good news is that everything I bought was under $25, and the vast majority were under $10. I even got some at less than $1 each (Portal and Portal2).

If I add in a substantial WDS purchase, boardgame purchases and tank model kits and supplies, I will be surprised if my wife doesn't divorce me...;)

The silver lining there would be that I would have more time to actually play the games I just bought...:)

I thought this was one of the best sales Steam has had in years, but hemmed and hawed and ended up buying...nothing.

[Sir Slash]

Same here but I do agree it was the best Sale in quite some time.

[JasonPratt]

I think the only two things I bought weren't on sale. (Or not on Steam sale per se, one was a small new release discount.)

[Ian C]

I got The Fermi Paradox, Not For Broadcast, Star Dynasties, Strange Horticulture and Humankind. Despite the mixed reviews on STEAM, for me, Humankind is far more fun than Civilization, which I never really got into.
