So is it worth it? :D

 

[hello friend]

Yes

Alpha protocol did some cool stuff, too bad it was let down by crappy combat and level-design/console-itis plus lots of bugs.
I enjoyed it anyway... Not sure I'd want to put up with its issues a second time, though.

Flawed Gem with heavy emphasis on the *flawed* -part. Know what you're getting into.

Parkan: Iron Strategy, a RTS spin-off of Russian space sim/FPS hybrid series, originally released in 2001:

Enter the futuristic worlds of The Labyrinth, a system of portals that connect planets belonging to unknown star systems. Confront mechanical hordes of rebels and inhospitable alien fauna. Control a squad of battle robots on a battlefield and issue orders to mobile units from inside a well-protected bunker. Create thousands of different battle machines and control them either remotely or from a first-person perspective.

Features:

• 20 single player missions, which form a series of epic scenarios involving action, simulation, and traditional real-time strategy.
  
• Hours of gameplay in 6 hostile worlds, each with their unique environment. Superbly detailed futuristic landscapes, day and night alternation, and realistic weather effects.
  
• Multiple views available including the first person from any robot perspective.
  
• Thousands of possible robot combinations: bots can be airborne, ground-based, wheeled or on tracks, all with a huge choice of weaponry.

Skin Deep, "immersive" sci-fi FPS set in non-linear sandbox spaceship, featuring sneezing and things sticking in your bare-feet. From the developer of Quadrilateral Cowboy, Thirty Flights of Loving, and Atom Zombie Smasher:

Skin Deep is an immersive first-person shooter. We got sneezing. We got things getting stuck in your feet. Stalk through a vast non-linear starship and sneak, subvert, and sabotage to survive in this stellar sandbox. You're outnumbered, outgunned, and have no shoes.

Welcome to Skin Deep!

A WALKING TALKING INSURANCE POLICY
When insurance corporations want to keep valuables safe, they freeze you and stow you onto their cargo starships.

And when space pirates board the starship and trip the silent alarm, you unthaw, take a deep breath, and handle the situation.

Good luck, operative.

No, this is different. This is a blatant admission to SotTR flopping hard.

Dont remember about the first game but Deus Ex Mankind Divided was 50% 3 months after release so this isn't exactly good news

From the bad people brought you Night Trap:

 

[Agame]

Hitman 2016 has a 76% sale. Is it worth getting so cheap? I loved the originals but passed on this due to the episode bullshit.

https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/4854/HITMAN__Game_of_The_Year_Edition/

And yea I dont know how you guys do the steam image linky thing...

 

[Hoaxmetal]

I liked it even more than Blood Money.

A not particularly well received JRPG receives the PC remaster treatment:




RimWorld is finally done:


A one-man RPG?


Give zombie brains to gain obedience points

Strangely, the bundle that includes Blood Money and Absolution actually shows up as cheaper for me: https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/4468/HITMAN_Essential_Collection/

You can't do an embed on bundles, only on single games. They work the same as YouTube, Twitter and everything else that can be embedded.

As far as I'm aware of the game is truthful to the original concept, which made Absolute Bald storyfags very unhappy.

However, I don't remember a game from 2016 with so many bullshit business practices in one package: episodic structure + always online DRM + Denuvo. They just needed to add microtransactions for the full set. Square Enix's finest hour.

On the bright side, when IO bought themselves from Square Enix they removed Denuvo. Not sure about always online DRM. I heard if you lose connection, your progress doesn't count.

Thats exactly why I avoided it, forced online, episodes etc. Anyway bought it, looks preeeetty good so far. Many, many, many different ways to do first proper mission (Paris). Even though I hate "achievements" I do like the challenge system here, it gives some nice prompts for the various assassinations eg. pushing one target off a balcony to fall on the second target and kill both. Or killing a target with a chandelier while wearing a vampire costume. Oh the LMAO! You do have to be online to actually get any progress which IS total bullshit.
