Steam Winter Sale 2024 Highlights

[@matthuck378]

Grim Dawn is $2.49 USD. If you like the Diablo's and the PoE's, but haven't played this...This is a great time to get it. It's dated (especially visually), but excellent, IMO.

[@Killbomb]

Grim Dawn is still my favorite ARPG. That price is an absolute steal especially since there's a new expansion coming out next year.

[@AgentP82]

Yes, Grim Dawn is really good!

[@JustinFike]

Oooh I send this one! $2.50 is an absurdly low price for how many hours of entertainment you're getting, although I would recommend getting all the DLCs if you're going to dive in since they add a ton.

[@cavetendobiggles1841]

Cracking game Grim Dawn. And that price.. great deal.

[@painfullyaware5221]

Might as well get the DLC, too. They're 35% off; about $25 for everything.

[@nebrahl8487]

Steam should be paying you for keeping me hyped about games in general and your reviews are top notch. You rock.

[@drumsmaaan]

These videos remind me so much of TotalBiscuits Steam sale reports.

[@kattysofatty6381]

Gone way too soon. Didnt even get to hit his prime

[@JULR0W]

I like to think he caused Space Marine's success/successor as well as the addition of the fov slider. Gone too soon, but not forgotten

[@murderface7744]

RIP TB. He would've loved Rogue Trader I think.

[@d34rth]

*clicks deep sale* *sees most of the games already in my library* o_O

[@Blasted2Oblivion]

Ain't that the damn truth.

[@armelior4610]

And realize you have years worth of unplayed games already

[@grey_wulf]

@@armelior4610 This 💯

[@spencerstevens2175]

You have already plumbed the depths matey

[@0bliviongaming454]

Realizing that you will never play/ finish all your backlogged games ~_~

[@gergelyvarga4764]

Divinity: original sin series are at all time historical lows. The first at 90% off, the second at 70% off. I was expecting them in the video too. :) Solasta looks interesting, thanks for the recommendation.

[@jfdiseg]

I think they already had those discounts during the last summer sale.

[@hiimunranked8663]

the second is literally one of the goats.. still holds up amazing till this day & I even like it more than bg3

[@galaxy_brain]

"Dwarves, Automatons... all the usual stuff" is such an awesome line!

[@Riffwizard]

Seeing Banishers on this list is great - It was one of my favs from this year.

[@Belriose]

Thank you so much for doing these, we have similar taste in games, so it helps me a lot to find new things to add to my wishlist or buy. Also the comments mention a lot of discounts, you have a very helpful community.

[@KhaosElement]

Amazing list sir. Have to say, I grabbed Veilguard on sale based on your review, and while I don't enjoy it AS much as you do, I still don't regret the buy and am going to play through the whole thing.

[@shassabo]

I regretted buying DA:V at the beginning because of the early ham-fisted storytelling and dialog. Suddenly around 15 hours in it became a ton of fun and it all started working. It’s definitely worth it at the sale price. I hope BioWare gets a stab at another Dragon Age game because I would love a follow up. It’s a really good game despite all the crap it got from people that didn’t even try it.

[@Voss_Man]

@@shassabo Funnily enough, it was the opposite for me. I enjoyed the first 10 or so hours and hated the rest. Amazing visuals though.

[@Kuran1986]

As someone who once was a game developer, I would've been so proud of having a game I worked on present on your list

[@swatneo8773]

Divinity Original Sin 1 is 90% off

[@danhensley]

100% recommend Solasta to anyone that hasnt played it.

[@predragpesic5953]

Awesome list, as usual. 🙂 Two games I would like to add to the list are State of Decay 2, and Necromunda: Underhive Wars.

[@LongLiveTheKingMusic]

Flintlock is so underrated. It was definitely my 7/10 of the year!

[@MovieKiller333]

Thanks for this, i was just browsing thinking one what to get. I picked up Balatro, Prince of Persia and Like a dragon!

[@hansvanbrakel8487]

Turn based tactics game. Steamworld Heist 2, most underrated game of the year. 97% positive 45% off

[@Joemama_is_cool]

The entire divinity series is currently on sale for about $21

[@spielebrocken]

Thanks for the fantastic recommendations. I just returned to gaming after a longer hiatus, so this was especially useful for me. I went with Another Crabs Treasure, Dread Delusion, Pacific Drive, Dragon Age The Veilguard, Infinite Wealth, Stalker 2, Metaphor, Silent Hill 2, Visions of Mana and Star Wars Outlaws :D Should be enough till the next sale :)

[@Pope_of_Novigrad]

Man I love seeing a new 20 minute long Mortismal video. Keep up the awesome work and service to us gamers dude.

[@JustinFike]

A few other titles worth shouting out: Chaosgate Daemonhunters is on a deep sale with all of its DLC, along with Aliens: Colonial Marines for anyone looking for some top-notch tactical combat. Showgunners and Old World are both $10, and the Code Vein Deluxe edition is just $12. Lots of great deals on great games this year!

[@CookinBeatloaf]

What are the genres for those and are they games for fans of existing series?

[@JustinFike]

@@CookinBeatloaf Daemonhunters and Aliens are both tactical strategy games. Showgunners is kind of a tactical combat sim with a lot of style (Mortym has a great review of it on the channel) and Old World is a historical 4x in the same vein as Civilization series but with a tighter focus on the bronze age. Code Vein is a souls like with a heavy anime skin. All of them are stand alone games so you don't need to have played any previous games to enjoy them.

[@cauesilvafarias6082]

Not trying to be an ass, but I suppose you mean Aliens Dark Descent? Aliens Colonial Marines (besides being a very controversial recommendation) is a FPS 😂

[@JustinFike]

@@cauesilvafarias6082 oooooh shit good catch 😅

[@coconutologist]

Thanks for the video. Mort says he's an American, but then says "adieu," so I shake my head. JKs. Onward to 400k. All glory to the algorithm.

[@MortismalGaming]

It's actually 'ado'. Adieu means farewell, Ado means like fuss or wasting time on trivial things

[@kabl00muk94]

'Pathfinder kingmaker - enhanced edition plus' is currently £2.66 in th UK. Recommended for anyone coming off a Baldurs Gate 3 high and looking for something similar..... but for £2.66 🤓 It has its flaws compared to WOTR, but nothing some custom rule/difficulty buggery wont fix. Runs great on the steam deck too! Absolute steal 👌🏻

[@SpecShadow]

both Kingmaker and WotR have a bunch of DLC, some of them better than others

[@scottycheesecake]

@@SpecShadow While true, you don't need any DLC to enjoy the games they are complete products. Half the DLCs are standalone stuff with very minor bonuses to main game. If you're going to play Kingmaker, feel free to look up some spoiler free tips, there are moments in that game that will absolutely ruin your enjoyment if you don't know what's coming.

[@danilakalinin6261]

Good recommendation, but i'll add that owlcat lost their right to this game so its fair to pirate it as you don't pay devs. WOtR and RT highly recommend ofc

[@theghostoftom]

If you pick up Rogue Trader, I highly recommend getting the Void Shadows DLC with it. Adds a lot of shipboard shenanigans along with the death cultist companion. Waiting to see what their next DLC (supposedly out in spring) will be like. Need to play WotR myself, had it sitting in my library for too long

[@kabl00muk94]

@theghostoftom Thanks for the reccomendation, I literally had this in the last sale 👌🏻 Although my thinking was to play vanilla on my first forray, Then grab the DLC for some new experiences on the second run through. Good plan or nay? 😅

[@fugixi]

Great video as always. Just love your presenting style.

[@painfullyaware5221]

Also, Caves of Qud finally hit 1.0 (after 10 years) and is 15% off. Definitely a niche title, but one you can play forever. Thanks for the recommendations. Happy holidays to you and yours.✌️

[@firstclaw1]

Thanks for the video. Please allow me two comments: 1. The Outer Worlds is available for no extra cost for Amazon Prime customers at the moment, where they offer a GOG key. I don't know if it includes the two DLCs. I like both DLCs, so that is something to consider. In the worst case the two DLCs may add up to more than the whole package on Steam, but I am leaning far out of my window since I have played and finished it already. 2. Vampire the Masquerade - Bloodlines is a classic with a unique outlook. I love this game. It is not the basic blood-sucking vampire game here. The game offers a great lore of a secret vampire society living widlely unknown within human civilization. You can roleplay as a vampire belonging to a specific clan out of a selection of quite a few different ones. Each clan has a unique skillset, plays differently, and has some intersting gameplay quirks. Please keep in mind, it is a fairly old game, and the mentioned patch is mandatory. I believe GOG is the way to go here for this single-player gem, where the patch is included automatically. Also, keep in mind, that the graphics look less detailed than in modern games, and the controls may be a little bit clunky. It was made with the source engine of HL2 at that time. If you can deal with a so-so aged game, a world with unique characters, quests, and storylines with multipe endings wait for you.

[@richski7444]

Bro how do you continue to put out such awesome videos so quickly? I love the channel, happy holidays to you!

[@MortismalGaming]

Happy holidays!

[@Zero_Zone.]

Thanks for the sales recommendations.

[@dgabrell]

It's a litte thing, but I so apprecaite all the info and timestamps in the video. Grateful for the extra effort!

[@grey_wulf]

I was waiting patiently for a video like this from you. Thanks!

[@onatgz]

this comment's 100% off.

[@sinhelproductions]

I'll buy that.

[@spencerstevens2175]

Take my money!

[@0bliviongaming454]

Give me that comment please thank you

[@StachelyPigglyBottom]

Since it wasn't mentioned, Final Fantasy Rebirth is on sale for 30% off ahead of the release on January. Definitely worth a pickup if you're playing/played FF VII REMAKE already.

[@oleksiizaporozhets765]

The game I enjoyed the most this year was Drova: Forsaken Kin. And it's 20% off right now. My kids loved it as well.

[@TechnoLawyer]

Can’t say enough nice things about Soverign Syndicate. The writing is up there with Larian, Owlcat, etc. Any time I see the game mentioned I have to stop by and give a shout to what ended up being my favorite indie of 2024. If you like narrative games, it’s worth picking up.

[@stefeeNRG]

Pillars 1 & 2 always a great choice and I have to say; basically mandatory for all cRPG lovers, can't recommend those 2 games enough. And also Rogue Trader.. got myself the season pass at least, can't wait for the release of the 2nd expansion

[@HanaNoMaude]

Great list! I actually have a potential rec for you: not sure if you’ve ever touched the Cat Quest games, but Cat Quest III dropped this year and is on sale for $15. It’s pirate themed and the game kind of gives off a slightly more innocent Another Crab’s Treasure vibe with the nautical humor and indie darling aesthetic. It also has local co op so it could be something to play with your son. It’s a short experience but a quality one!

[@BrumbleJumble]

i bought grim dawn and pillars of eternity 2 Looking forward to both!

[@szwajcer9862]

Maybe it doesn't directly fit in with other games you play but you should try out Mouthwashing if you haven't yet. It's a very short narrative story.

[@Soapy_Papoose]

Valdis Story: Abyssal City is an excellent indie metroidvania. It's definitely a hidden gem IMO.

[@nimble3742]

good morning, thanks for the highlights!

[@analogsentimentalism]

I thought your favourite indie game of the year was The Great Circle?

[@robertjohnson558]

Thank you for this. My mental health has been waning and all these sales are becoming overwhelming. This really helped me to calm myself and still enjoy my hobby

[@JULR0W]

flintlock or banishers, which would you guys get?

[@desenhista12]

I would get Flintlock because I enjoyed the beta of that game

[@halloweentimemachine]

Okami is 75% off (so $5) and 100% worth, especially since they just announced the sequel

[@LoomisPC]

Ashen -75% (9,24€) Battletech -75% (9,99€) Phoenix Point -65% (8,39€) Transistor -80% (3,90€) These are some of my favorite games =)

[@BNik92]

Great video Mort!

[@No-Analysis]

I know it's not an RPG but Songs of Conquest is a great Heroes 3 like strategy game and is 11.55 right now.

[@GentleSalamander]

Genuine question, people that don't like dragons dogma 2 , why? I'm really interested in knowing as I played both and enjoyed both.

[@JULR0W]

for me it fell off once I got into the "second part" of the game

[@Briarthefriar]

I like to think I'm a story person but I am pretty lenient in a lot of ways. But the story kind of takes a huge nosedive when you get to the latter end of the game (second major city) and kind of ends before it begins. The world is also very small and repetitive in a lot of ways. However, I wish we could stay in the endgame area forever. That place was a lot of fun!

[@gregallan4291]

As someone who enjoys both a lot, but prefers the first, I can kinda see the sentiment shared across the player base. It's a "reimagining" of the first game had they the technology and time to make what they originally envisioned, but what they forgot were the little things that despite its rough appearance, made Dragons Dogma 1 so appealing to its niche fanbase. Movement is one of the biggest things for me, I really loved the speed and precision in DD's movement, but slow and sometimes sluggish movement in DD2 doesn't hit the same. Enemies were reskinned all the time in the first, and whilst we did get new enemies, I don't believe we got "enough" of them. And the story I believe is a lot of people's biggest gripe. Unlike the first one where it started weak and was brilliant by the end, the opposite is true for DD2.

[@tygeta9851]

Grabbed the Stalker trilogy for 9 bux. Always admired it from a distance but Stalker 2 sold me on fully investing in the series.

[@FunkStyles]

Outer Worlds and Hogwarts Legacy are fantastic on the Steam Deck.

[@CookinBeatloaf]

I dont know anything about yakuza games, would the first like a dragon be a good start? Everything in the series but infinite wealth is on Gamepass

[@arenas4641]

Its an ok start, would recommend you yakuza 0 tho

[@Dryblas002]

Phew. I know what to buy now. Thanks, mate!

[@HubertTheMad]

Thanks for the vid! I dunno if I'll grab any, but enjoying the games I have so far for sure

[@Adurnis]

Mmkay so like I subscribed finally. Fair is fair.

[@satayo]

Thanks Mort for all the sales info. I'd like to make a suggestion though, if it's feasible. To help out the international viewers, why not put a screenshot of the steamdb price list for the games you mention? I understand not everyone watches the videos but for those who do to get a sense of the gameplay it would help to see at a glance the prices in various currencies for other regions. Again thanks for the video and your content in general, You've help in getting me more interested in crpgs, a genre that I had previously touched very little of

[@allicanseeispink]

Great timing, I was just wondering what to get from the sale

[@DewaHuang]

Final Fantasy XVI absolutely worth the money for quality it has Fun hack and slash combat, and the music won 2023 goty award

[@fakeigniz13]

Something that came out this year, I think you recommended it. King Arthur: Legion IX is 70% off. There's some other smaller titles on smaller discount I'm thinking of, like Arco, Banquet of Fools, Tactical Beach Wizards among others. One day I'll go back to WoTR and Rogue Trader. Not keen on Pathfinder games though, but RT is such a great mix of xcom and RPG.

[@bbbboblin8095]

I am impatient. I would love a video with a few more details about how "The Ultimate" Challenge is going.

[@Outerwebs]

Couple of 90% off bargains: Vermintide 2 remains one of, if not THE best co-op experiences out there; can't recommend it highly enough. Borderlands 3 - Yes, the writing sucks, but the gameplay is great and it's a solid SP/Co-op experience with a sequel dropping sometime next year.

[@Fondil_Mabols]

My suggestion would be Darkest Dungeon. It is 81% off at $10 for all DLC or $3 for the base game but the DLC is great

[@avigassman9803]

I really wanna play warhammer, is it fine to play solo or do you need a team to play or randoms?

[@JULR0W]

[@garryame4008]
