PCs and Steam: Thread 01

[Adam]

Picked up Ori and the Blind Forest: Definitive Edition and Dead Cells. Thinking of picking up My Time at Portia, but I probably should play these two first.

Grabbed Koihime Enbu and Under Night In-Birth this morning oops

[MartyG]

Somebody tell me what to buy in the Steam sale, please. I’m struggling.

What genre? Pyre is well worth a look if you like RPGs.

[Dogg Thang]

I don’t even know what genre! That looks pretty good but it could be long. Maybe I want short... I don’t know. I’m failing at the Steam sale.

Take a look at Enter The Gungeon, it's a fabulous combination of twitch shooter and rogue lite.

[Dogg Thang]

Thanks guys. Some really interesting picks there and I hadn’t heard of any of them. Stories Untold and A Case Of Distrust look up my street in particular. That Red Strings Club looks lovely too. Enter the Gungeon looks like a lot of fun. The ‘bullet hell’ description makes me wonder if I have the skills for it any more but the style looks fun. Going to check these out more! Really appreciate the recommendations. I’ll let you know if I take the plunge.

Picked up Vampire the Masquerade and put the community patch on it. The controls are a bit clunky, but it seems to be a pretty decent RPG. I never did play this back at its release, so at under £4 it's a bit of a steal. You need to install that patch though to get rid of the bugs left there by the devs.

Also picked up Unepic which is quite a nice humorous RPGlite platformer, good deal at £3.

Valley is a nice little FPS jumping around type of an affair £2.99

Right, definitely done with the Steam Sale now, busted through my allotted budget.

I've been meaning to pick up Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice for a while now to support the "AA" middle ground and single player experience. Although given they've been bought up by Microsoft it doesn't really matter.

Also picked up Finding Paradise, which I've had on the wishlist for a while. Now I just need to find time to play all these games, but given I seem to be mostly playing Slay the Spire and Open Transport Tycoon, this spending spree was a touch unnecessary.

I look forward to thinking I’ll buy the third iteration or so if it gets good only for it to just fade away.

God bless MS, they do love their doomed offshoots

The Red Strings Club is well worth a look.
