    Fanatical has a few solid deals for ~$1 USD. You can see a full listing of them on their bundles page. I'll highlight two I think are absolute steals: Ittle Dew 1 & 2+ Double Pack ($1.00 USD)...

    Fanatical has a few solid deals for ~$1 USD. You can see a full listing of them on their bundles page. I'll highlight two I think are absolute steals:

    This series is a veritable hidden gem (the first game has less than 500 reviews on Steam). These are cute little indie old-school Zelda-likes that are deceptively clever. I played through the first one and liked the puzzles, but then I looked at the achievements for the game and realized that the game is designed to have much deeper challenges than just what's on the surface.

    It's hard to describe these games. On their face, they're restaurant management games, but from the perspective of a laborer than a manager. You start the game by learning a few simple tasks, with each assigned to different keys on your keyboard. The game slowly ratchets up in complexity as the tasks also become embedded in your muscle memory. Eventually your hands will be fluidly and frantically hopping all across your keyboard, preparing meals and drinks for customers like you're someone on /r/FastWorkers. Building mastery in the game is very satisfying.

      I've only played the first two of the Cook, Serve, Delicious series but I can absolutely concur with this recommendation. The older ones are still just as fun and addicting, fwiw -- I've sunk tons of hours into the first one alone.

        Yeah these games are fun. We used to play time so many management games like this, Dinner Dash, Stand O' Food, Penguin Dinner, etc. Fanatical also has listed bundle for first two games only....

        Fanatical also has listed bundle for first two games only. double pack. which is slightly cheaper ($1).

    Otherwise, I think that the Steam Autumn Sale is going on the 21st to the 28th, so might be good to wait a bit unless it's a flash sale. I'm guessing they'll be a separate Autumn sale thread up too when it starts, I'll try to sound off in those comments when I get a chance!

    I'd classify this as a separate deal from the upcoming Steam autumn sales and the like (Fanatical, GMG, etc) since GoG is DRM free: https://www.gog.com/en/promo/2023_black_friday#Catalog...

    https://www.gog.com/en/promo/2023_black_friday#Catalog

    Highlights: Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition for near historical lows, likewise for Uncharted Legacy of Thieves Collection, Kingdom of Amalur: FATE Edition, and more.

    If you're interested in the idea of DRM free, I encourage you to look through this catalogue.

    The Steam Autumn Sale is up now. This is a "minor sale" (ie. it runs for one week). It may take a little time for all of the deals to fully update across the store.

    33% off any game $15 or up is pretty good, especially for Alan Wake 2 ($33.50) which just released and is wholly published by Epic. (Be sure to clip the coupon)

    Fanatical's Black Friday keeps going with the flash deals:

    • Starfield for 20% off ($52ish). I will say if you haven't bought it by now, might wanna wait for a heftier deal. I enjoyed it a lot and put in 80 hours, I'm personally waiting for more mods and more stuff to come out before going for the 100%
    • The fantastic Batman Arkham games, if you missed the WB bundle from Humble, is on sale for ($7.50)
    • We Love Katamari REROLL+ Royal Reverie for $12.75
      https://www.fanatical.com/en/black-friday

    Not a flash sale, but Zactronics games are on sale right now as well:

    • personally imo, their best game, Opus Magnum, is on sale for $9.99. Not the historical low though, ($6.80 on Steam, so again wait till the autumn sale if you're interested in it) https://www.fanatical.com/en/game/opus-magnum
