Bought a ton of games. Notable all-time low prices:



https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/7118/XCOM_2_Collection/

This sounds interesting!
It's a modern 2d point and click
Interest denied!


Souls clone with some really cool level design. Added jumping before Elden Ring. Very atmospheric but a bit jank.


Fun strategy game where you have to base build with nodes to stop slime overwhelming you.

Has any one played One piece world seeker? I've not seen any of the series and don't care to. It looks like it has some fun abilities in an interesting open world. Is it worth playing as a game or is it another Bamco bare minimum effort affair?

Nothing I really wanted was that discounted, just bought Imperiums, Old School, and Soulvars which was deep discounted:


Edit these things are free for the next 5 days:

On top of that it is not even good! Big disappointment considering they had already released so many games with the same setup. I expected some sort of progress. The game feels like a sidestep at best.

Agreed, the woke factor didn't help either, but the game itself would have still been really lacking regardless.

Does Fanatical count? They do give Steam keys.

Their dollar sale is pretty great. Oddworld series, Postal redux and 2 with DLC, Styx 1+2 and the Syberia series all for a dollar each. Fanatical feels like the old steam sales with how low some of it's stuff is. Almost cheap enough not to be worth bothering with emulation.

Divinity: Original Sin
Fans made original trilogy playable on PC and now release it on Steam
SOON

Unless they're adding in the ability to use the menu while you're in the game, this just sounds like the same old Aleph One port that's been around forever.

Yeah I was wondering if this was just bundled with Aleph One or if they've tweaked or changed anything else. Still nice to see it getting some more exposure.

I was going through my left over nextfest demos and found this gem. I really enjoyed it and thought I'd share. It's a simple racing game with decent visuals and great music. Reminds me of games you would get on PC demo discs back in the day. Just fun. Says it will be free on release but the demo has loads of tracks already so worth playing now.

Huge OP fan here and it feels like one of those generic shovelware licensed anime games. Boring, repetitive and empty. I can't imagine anybody enjoying it unless you're a fan of OP. You might wanna check out Unlimited World Red. I thought it was pretty fun when I played it ~10 years ago and there's more than just 1 character to play as. Neither are good though imo.

Hellpoint ain't a good souls clone. Pretty much Lies of P and Nioh are the only souls clones worth a damn, and Nioh isn't even a real souls clone.

I enjoyed The Surge. It was a very competent game and one of the very few sci-fi soulslikes. Even though it does break down a bit at the end, plot-wise. Not that it was very complex on that front to begin with, but it was just about right for me to like it.
