Steam Winter Sale 2025 Highlights: What We’re Buying
https://retrohandhelds.gg/steam-winter-sale-2025-highlights-what-were-buying/
It’s December 2025, and Steam’s Winter Sale is here—AKA the one time of year your bank account begs for mercy… and your gaming conscience says, “Just one more game.”
We’re snatching up Tunic—a fox in a tiny hat that’ll make you scream like it’s 1987 again, thanks to its Zelda-meets-Souls difficulty. Cute? Yes. Fair? Absolutely not.
Meanwhile, Megabonk drops you into a 90s 3D rogue-lite fever dream that feels like Magic Carpet got drunk at a rave. And if you miss pinball but hate physics engines? Demon’s Tilt and Xenotilt are your new best friends. One round turns into three hours. We’ve all been there.
But the real MVP? Lossless Scaling. A solo dev’s software wizardry that turns your Steam Deck into a gaming powerhouse. No new GPU needed—just pure, beautiful optimization magic.
Also? Tape To Tape (arcade hockey with flying sticks), CloverPit (slot-machine prison escape), and the audio-only masterpiece The Vale: Shadow of the Crown. And yes, there’s a Game Boy RPG called Glory Hunters—because nostalgia is now a full-time job.
And if you’re still playing Balatro? We see you. Go buy CloverPit. You’ll thank us later.
—Your wallet: “I didn’t sign up for this.”
You: “But look at that fox. He’s wearing a scarf.”
