The Internet says Steamās Spring sale starts tomorrow. Iāve given myself a budget Iām hoping to stick to. Weāll see how well I stick to it. Iām hoping to pick up Haste, Esoteric Ebb, Echo Point Nova, and Cairn.
Are there any specific games youāre hoping to pick up?
Tough, but good, question. Iām not really feeling like buying a game these days since I have a lot of unplayed games and old favorites I want to try/revisit, but when the sale starts Iāll def have a look through Steam.
Something I have been feeling lately though, especially with the new Dragon Quest Reimagined, is that Iāve been wanting to try a JRPG for the first time. So if there are JRPGās on sale, maybe Iāll pick one up. Iām also a sucker for management/automation games so if I see one on sale, maybe Iāll pick it up as well.
Haste looks pretty neat, as well as Echo Point Nova! Iāll possibly check those out if they go on sale as well!
I got a boomer shooter bundle before the sale. I hope Echo point Nova is good, as Iām currently winding down my addiction to their previous game, Severed Steel. (I think I played most of itās steam workshop by now)
Iāve never played a Dragon Quest, but I remember hearing great things about 11 when it came out.
Havenāt played many Boomer shooters. Just Doom and Dusk really. Iām in the mood for something a little bit high energy. Do you have a suggestion as to one to try?

Wow. Thank you, that is quite a list. Iāve seen Turbo Overkill pop up a couple times. Iām trying to decide between that and Ion Fury.
Ooo I just saw that TMNT Splintered Fate is only 2.99 right now. I played through it back in November after hearing @EposVox recommend it a few times and it was a blast! It felt like a TMNT version of Hades
Taking a different approach to the Steam Spring Sale. Iāve given myself a budget of Ā£40, and as the sales goes on I will add stuff to my basket.
Then at the end of the sale I will review my basket, removing anything I no longer want and get the price down to Ā£40
This is smart! I havenāt bought anything yet, but I might do this strategy just to avoid overspending on games I might not play.
This has been my approach for the past few steam sales. Give myself a Ā£10-Ā£20 budget, go through what I think I might like then add them to my basket. After a few days Iāll go through a process of elimination, asking myself why did I add this? Do I really intend to play it? How long have I wanted this game? If Iām still satisfied Iāll keep the games in there, if not they get removed.
Iāve stopped buying games almost altogether. Iāll add some to the wishlist, but nothing is purchased unless I plan to start playing it within the next month. It does mean I miss out on a lot of titles, but Iām also not spending money Iām not getting on something Iāll never play. Thereās always another Steam Sale next season.
Shhhhhā¦ Donāt look at these old console games I keep buyingā¦ Iām getting to them, I promise. LoL
