What’s the best game deal you ever got?

For me it was the original Subnautica. Was a free give away before it got popular and I had no expectations when I played it. Really enjoyed the exploration and the pacing.

Second was Axiom Verge - I got it for free before it became popular but I don’t remember how. I bought it when it went to Steam because I wanted to support the creator.

Both are fun exploration sorts of games if you haven’t played them. Axiom Verge is a metroidvania. Kinda a weird game, but in a good way.

    First one that comes to mind was getting a used PS3 for $75 in late 2017.

    I’d become a big Persona fan after liking P3 and with P4 becoming an all-time favorite soon after, but I’m mostly a PC gamer. I don’t always pick up current-gen consoles. Eventually I got sick of hearing the heaps of praise for P5 that I figured I’d take the risk on a used PS3 (getting a PS4 was way out of my budget). That’s not why it ended up being a great deal, though.

    Now that I had a PS3, I figured I’d try all the games I’d been missing out on that didn’t have PC ports. I had a remarkably high hit rate with these: Demon’s Souls, Dragon Quest Builders, Journey, The Last of Us, NieR, and of course Persona 5 itself. Ended up playing through (almost) all of FromSoft’s following games and NieR: Automata because of this pickup. Still never got that PS4, though, so I’m still waiting on Bloodborne and TLOU2.
