I didn't get much in this year's Christmas Steam sale -- seriously, it's way fewer games than I got in the last two major Steam sales, Christmas 2017 and Summer 2018 -- but I did get a few yesterday, on the last day. Steam sales definitely aren't as good as they used to be...
PC DD - Steam sale
--
Final Dusk - $0.50
Fake Colours - $0.50
Bubsy: The Woolies Strike Back - $5. I know this game has a lot of bad press but I want to give it a try anyway. The developer has made some good games, so maybe I'll like it.
Expand - $1.50. I like the visual look of this game, hopefully the gameplay is as good.
Mages of Mystralia - $7. This overhead action-adventure game looks like it could be good.
Fitz the Fox - $2. Platformer with a B&W Game Boy aesthetic.
Zwei: The Arges Adventure - $12. This is the first Zwei games' first English-language release, which is pretty cool; it's a good action-RPG series from Falcom.
Nirvana Pilot Yume - $3.50. This game was inspired by the classic PC game Skyroads, which is why I got it; I really liked Skyroads in the '90s, so a new game with that same concept could be great if done well!
Pit People - $12.50. This is the latest game from the team behind Alien Hominid, Castle Crashers, and such. Unlike their previous games this one is a strategy game. It got somewhat mixed reviews but I've mostly liked the developer so I had to get this one eventually.
Lightfield - $11.75. This game is a unique futuristic racing game where you apparently parkour along the course in futuristic not-flying ships, or something. I like the genre and it has a great visual look so I decided to pick it up...
And similarly, on this final day of the Xbox sale I got a game.
Xbox One DD

Onrush - $12 (on sale). This isn't a racing game, it's kind of a car combat thing on tracks, I believe. Still though I've been wanting to get it, and finally decided to. The game is released on disc, but would cost at least twice what this download did...
