If anyone else has recommendations please post, as going through these holiday season sales gets silly as when too many things are discounted all in one, its hard to find gems amongst trash.

Brought the prequel as well for £3.50 90% off.

This advice is too late for this event, but the best way to go about this is to window shop for games in advance and add the ones you want to your wishlist. If/when a wishlist title goes on sale, you'll get an email. If multiple games go on sale, all of them show up in the same email. Then, when a sale hits, your only problem is deciding if the price is right, or how much you want to spend.

That's where I'm at, I have 4 titles on sale, just need to figure out how much I want to spend.

Excellent advice, I have done this, but inevitably if there is silly offers, I might jump on games I was unsure about or didnt consider before. :)

Autumn?!?!?

last I checked there was 6” of snow on the ground and -20c incoming. I’d say it’s winter.

I keep track of the games I beat every year and then typically purchase N-1 games during the winter sale so my library doesn't keep bloating on an annual basis.

Only thing really grabbing my eye right now is Psychonauts 2 for $5. That one is going to be a no brainer for me.

Also, Pentiment for $10, Dusk for $10, Doom Eternal for $10 look like solid pick-ups (in either this or the Winter sale).

Jedi Survivor for $18 is still too damn high for a game with that much baggage. I can keep waiting.

I wish this worked for me. I end up putting dozens of games on my wishlist and when they go on sale I decide I am no longer interested in them. I need like the opposite advice maybe.

Don't forget to post your purchases here:
You are at least 2000 miles South of Timmins Ontario. That is an 11 hour drive from where I live. The Transcanada Highway runs by their.

I wish this worked for me. I end up putting dozens of games on my wishlist and when they go on sale I decide I am no longer interested in them. I need like the opposite advice maybe.
What is really messed up is that Humble is also having a great sale right now.

A thought for this gaming sale season:

Psychonauts 2 at GOG: $12

You may wish to consider paying more for true ownership.
