As much as the original Subnautica was one of my favourite games of all time, I'm gonna sit this one out and see what the reviews say. There's been too many troubling signs to trust this will even live up to Below Zero, let alone the original, and Krafton's declaration they're now an "AI First" company a few months ago does not fill me with confidence.

Honestly, this may just be as simple as buying goodwill and continuing to normalize AI companies by doing things that legitimate companies do.

It's nice that No Man's Sky 2026 has finally caught up with World of Warcraft 2012.

Just amazing how many four-player co-op games and sequels/DLC there is this year though.

Honestly, most of it wasn't my thing. I'd already put The Lift and Alabaster Dawn on my wishlist a while back, so those were known quantities.

What really grabbed my attention was Neverway. Celeste pixel artist and Disasterpeace ST in a dark action sim? Sold!

Honestly, the only thing calling to me at the moment on my wishlist is Cozy Grove (Steam Play), mainly because it's 70% off and thus super cheap. Otherwise I might just give this sale a pass.

That's funny. I played a whole bunch of demos over a few days, and *none* of them were on the top played list. Apparently my tastes are non-standard.

My list:

Approximately Up (meh)
Besmirch (interesting)
Burden Street Station (brilliant!)
Clicky Islands (pretty good)
Collector's Cove (not my style)
Dungeons of DUSK (slow pacing and navigation sucks)
Dungeon Sweeper (meh)
Garden Ink (pretty good)
Highreach (crashed)
Helix: Descent N Ascent (very good)
Hozy (fun)
Hypnos (confusing for no good reason)
Looking for Fael (very good)
Moomintroll: Winter's Warmth (very good)
Map Map - A Game About Maps (meh)
Nightfall Café (pretty decent)
Pluto (obtuse, didn't like it)
Shanty Town (very good)
Truckful (didn't recognize my controller)

Quoting: SalvatosMy God that's a lot of physical games.

I played The Magic of Inventorying with some friends a while back (got it in an earlier mega-bundle). It's good fun.

Went back and finished it after all. Changing the wheels out for tracks, and then robot legs, added a lot of stability, but it still wasn't enough to stop tossing things out the side here and there, making the 10 minute trip from the last depot into almost twice that, gingerly navigating every little fold in the landscape.

It didn't get any more fun, but at least I now have a nice new spacesuit set for regular playthroughs.
