Kingdom Come: Deliverance
https://store.steampowered.com/app/379430/Kingdom_Come_Deliverance/
My favourite game of all time, now 80% off. A must-play for anyone interested in RPGs, history, story, or immersion. I'd recommend getting the package with DLC for just a tiny bit more.
Humble's Stories to Remember sale:
https://www.humblebundle.com/store/promo/stories-to-remember-sale/
Notable games:
Deus Ex: Human Revolution ($3)
Banner Saga 3 ($5)
Guardians of the Galaxy ($14)
A bit of a Meta post, but something to kinda keep track of, Steam has released their fests/sales here:

I'll try to keep track of these (no promises!) but just as a general guideline of maybe holding off on certain genres until these sale dates!
Humble Bundle's Unparalleled Puzzlers Encore bundle:
https://www.humblebundle.com/games/unparalleled-puzzlers-holiday-encore
Baba is you, Dorf Romantik, both Monument Valleys, and Darq are all definitely worth the $10. Honestly Baba is You already is worth the $10!
I picked this bundle up earlier this year and both Creaks and the Last Campfire were very pleasant surprises
i'll have to check them out! I have both from this bundle too lol
Assassin's Creed Franchise Sale on Steam:
https://store.steampowered.com/sale/assassinscreedfranchise
The entire franchise is ~$100, but honestly, I'd only personally recommend AC:2 ($5) and AC:Black Flag ($12), I've heard good things about Odyssey ($12), and only got a couple of hours in Valhalla ($15) and personally finished AC:3 and Liberation ($10 and $5).
There's some definitive eras, and honestly you can probably just play the best of each era to get the whole experience. In my mind, it's probably AC:2, AC:Black Flag, and one of either Odyssey or Valhalla. There's probably an era between Syndicate, Rogue, and Unity too, but I fell off the series at that point.
I would put Unity pretty high on that list. It's the only game that feels like a proper sequel to 1 and 2.
GoG's Winter Sale has begun! DRM free titles:

Edit: Giveaway too: https://www.gog.com/en/game/legend_of_keepers_career_of_a_dungeon_master
Epic Games has also started their Winter Sale + daily (weekly?) giveaways, starting with.... Destiny 2 Legacy Collection?:
https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/destiny-2--legacy-collection-2023
tbh I thought Destiny 2 was always free and these expansions were similar to the WoW model where you only have to pay for the latest expansion but what do I know :shrug:
Cringe replying to myself to say that you can get Alan Wake 2 (Permanent Epic store exclusive because it's published by Epic) alongside Alan Wake 1 Remastered for $26:
https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/alan-wake-2
With Destiny 2, the base game is F2P, but raids, campaigns, certain gear, etc. are all locked behind expansions. The latest expansion is for sure the most relevant, but you pretty much need the other expansion as well if you get serious about playing the game. Basically, with the free legacy collection, people would get most of the game for free and then can buy Lightfall when it's on sale to get the rest. Without any of the expansions, you're pretty limited in the game, so it is actually a good deal to get all but Lightfall for free.
That's good to know, thank you!
