Any big finds in this list?

I've personally really enjoyed Sea of Stars. I don't know if it's too short or too long, because it did drop out of my attention for a bit, but the good moments are great. One of 2 games where I actually teared up/cried last year.

I like Into the Breach a lot! I'm not much for roguelike/roguelite games because I feel like I'm not improving/learning at the rate that the game expects, but Into the Breach is just so cool and fun, and it's the tactics-based game that has made me think the most on every individual move. Each team plays so differently, and they do make use of the run-based system in interesting ways.

I wouldn't say a big find(and not in this exact video), but I loved Warhammer 40k: Rogue Trader, which is on sale for this event.

If you like numbery CRPGs with fun choices and great companions, give it a look. I knew very little about 40k going in and it made me a big fan of the entire universe when I never expected to be.

I can be overwhelming sometimes and definitely still buggy since a new DLC just came out, but an absolute timeless game in my opinion.

Sea of Stars did the same thing for me. I played for a bit, enjoyed it, moved on without finishing it.

I also had a good Sea of Stars cry. Totally worth playing. It sounds like DLC for it will drop in 2025 too.

Jagged Alliance 3 eh? Anyone knows if it has any of the goodness from 2 in it?

I haven't played it yet but my buddy did it coop and said it was one of his favorites. And I quote

"[His coop players name] and I agree that that was probably one of the best games we've played, like top 20 all time"
