The STEAM Sales and Releases Thread

[pOcHa]

Thanks guys! I always wanted to try some (indio?) games. I've spent just over $100 and got some choice titles you guys listed up. Feels great to support my local garage game devs in this time of need and global crisis. I REALLY enjoy some zoomer soy-boy retard's remake/take on RPG classics of yesteryear and Microsoft PowerPoint 97 quality "Tower-Defense/RPG Hybrid" titles. Thank you guys!

Also, all titles you guys listed were 100% compatible with WinUHA 2.0

Pacman championship editions is free at the moment, the reviews are middling.

PAC-MAN Championship Edition 2 is good. But it's not a normal Pac-Man game either, the goals of it seem to be very different from what I've played. Best normal Pac-Man game, and best in general is still the original Chamionship Edition that was an Xbox Live game back on 360 and later got packeaged with Galaga Dimensions and some other stuff as Namco Museum Virtual Arcade.

I did hear in a review of this game I'd just happened to watch a few days ago that it's a bit more of a hog than you'd think it would be on PC. Since it's also free on PS4 and XboxONE it might be better to get it on once of those.

I bought the new game a couple of days ago, I'll probably never play it, but you can get yourself a coffee with my 1€ as a thank you for your interviews, dear Matt Barton

supported you - wanted to gift another copy away, but it's disabled for your bundle (says something like being personalized for my own account)

...tried adding it again to the cart, but then both purchase buttons are disabled (for myself, and as a gift)

Used to be you could try these small-time shareware games (you call them "indie" now?) for free in shareware mode or get them in bulk in thousands on a single CD as a "Shareware Collection Vol 49!!!" for about $5 or $6. NOW you want me to pay up, UP FRONT, on average $5-6 for EACH, without even trying any of them?! Git da fuk outta here wit dat chit zoomboi!!!

Besides, my Steam has been in offline mode and firewalled since about 2017... so....

Anyone have any shareware discs they want to unload?

I downloaded this weird demo of a game called "coffee talk", where you basically just serve drinks to a fantasy city full of elves, orcs, and the other typical fantasy races. Not gonna lie, it's actually pretty cool. Worth a few bucks

Don't know what could be the problem unfortunately. It must be some Steam shinanigan.

 

[jebsmoker]

Yeah most new games suck but this is one of the few horror games I've played from start to end many times. It's worth it.

 

[pOcHa]

meh, the first few hours are pretty good (the androids are especially great) but it gets quite tedious and repetitive once the alien actually shows up for real (not scripted sections)...

I'll try this Long Road Home thing, since it is said it has puzzles.

Almost sad to see it that cheap.

 

[Zombra]

It's worth it.

Jesus, that's a steal. Everybody buy this now unless you absolutely don't like horror games.

 

[jebsmoker]

We desperately need more games with a cassette futurism aesthetic

Same thing happens for me. "Because the contents of One Bit Bundle are personalized for your account, it cannot be purchased as a gift."

Well, I bought it for myself anyway.

I cba to embed the game link, but there's a game called Detective Grimoire that I've had sitting on my wishlist that supposedly does crime solving reasonably well. I just picked it up for 1.39 (retail price is about 7 dollars, I think).

You don't fool me alien, you just want to make babies with my face.

Despite clue gathering, I did not feel like a detective as the deduction mechanics were too childish. The game has you put clues together, which is good, but if you assemble a wrong combination it simply honks at you WRONG and lets you try again. With nothing at stake you can just keep clicking things until you win. Disappointing.

I got the impression from this video there were a non-trivial amount of combinations to go through:

Meh. I don't remember exactly how it worked, I just remember I was disappointed that I could solve like 2/3 of the mystery and just guess the rest with no penalties for fucking up.

I mean for $1.39 and 2 hours you might as well give it a try, why waste time researching the wisdom of your purchase at this point?

I the video I've seen there were hundreds of available answers per question.
