I bought over a dozen promotional games, with high discounts on several old games, Cities: Skylines-90% for only $2.99; Darkest Dungeon-92% for only $1.99. Also bought a promising HoMM-like new game, Pennon and Battle.

      If you want similar old school meets new vibes, Celeste, Hollow Knight, Crosscode, and Another Crab’s Treasure are all very fun. Crosscode in particular I just finished, and my gosh it was one of my favorites this year. Can’t wait for the next game from the devs!

        I love Crosscode! I don’t think any of these games you mentioned scratch the same itch though. They’re definitely great, but are missing the kind of simplicity of an old-school platformer that I’ve got in mind.
