There's a lot of good deals on there 'eh?! 20% off Steam decks is pretty good 👀. Not sure the purse strings will stretch that far RN though 💸

I saw that! But they're sold out with no sign of return!

Hell yes, I've not stopped thinking about that game since I played it a year ago

Hogwarts Legacy is 20% of--- I'm joking.

Some absolute bargains: Two Point Hospital is only £6.24, The Beginner's Guide is only £3.49, , Death Road to Canada is only £2.74, Pony Island is only £0.79, Buddy Simulator is only £2.79, Stories Untold is only £1.70.

A good way to spend £17.75 if you ask me.

I've played a decent amount of Two Point Hospital (was a big Theme hospital fan back in the day). The thing that nailed it for me and made me feel like it's a proper spirtual successor is the humour. I was all in from the trailer!

Picked up Dave the diver at 10% off although I'm not sure it's a summer sale deal, think its introductory discount. Only really played the first 30 minutes but it looks like it's going to be as good as the reviews say it is. Also looks perfect for the steam deck, will probably play it on there the majority of the time.

Nice tip!

Is that the one where you do diving and run a burger shop?

I do appreciate games that blend two disparate genres together such as that. Now I'm saying this, though, I can't think of any off the top of my head...

Yeah close enough, running a sushi restaurant. I've seen in in the steam charts for a while and dismissed it. I like reading the Metro's games coverage as it has that teletext digitiser feel of old to it, was their spoiler free review that sold it for me, didn't realise there were so much to it. The launch trailer kind of ruined it a bit though as it would have been a nice surprise discovering some of that stuff without knowing about it was in there.

What exactly Dave The Diver is, is not easy to say as it’s so filled with mini-games, based on so many different genres and themes, that it manages to be almost everything at some point, from stealth game to business simulator. The core of the experience though is a 2D diving simulator, where you control the portly Dave as he explores underwater, looking for treasure and fish for his sushi restaurant.
