    Thinking about Prison Architect as well, but not a fan of the whole early access thing. Is the game worth it as it stands right now?

    That's probably as low as it'll go, it was only released fully on the 4th of this month too

    Thanks,i have €50 in my steam wallet for the sale so kinda restricted to steam for the moment. Bought it in the end after doing a bit more reading about it today,my main concern was that its quite short so was hoping to pick it up for a bit less but how and ever im looking forward to giving it a go. It was either this or Gone Home and the story in this looks like it i would prefer it and im hoping Gone Home will get a bigger discount than it currently has at some stage of the sale.

    There hasnt been much to interest me yet this sale. Hoping Street Fighter IV and Wolfenstein will get decent discount before its over,there about it for big games i want at the moment. Other than that i reckon i will be just picking up some smaller games.

    I picked up How to Survive Storm Warning Edition for €1.89

    Great deal @ 90% off. Includes base game and 6 DLC in that price.

    I have said to plenty of people ....... Simple No for me. I had so many bugs... no missions or campaign yet & it has been in early access far too long at this stage.

    Spintyres, you are mine.

    I love spintires but there seems to be some ****e going on with the developer according to the internet.
    saying it might not have anymore updates :(

    Bought it earlier in the month. I am enjoying it so far :)

    Feels like like a mix between XCOM & Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel set in a zombie themed world. You create your character and can assign them certain skills that can either be geared towards Combat, Defense or Skills that help the camp in terms of survivability such as Mechanical, Science, Scavenging etc

    You start with a bunch of preset survivors who each have their own skills and can bring along with on missions, or you can assign them jobs for the camp such as making weapons, repairing structures, building etc. you'll eventually find more survivors to join your camp via key events or random events.

    Combat is very reminiscent of fallout, even in terms of the UI. So basically you have a weapon, you have AP points, use AP points against zombies/bandits and that's really it.

    You have to manage the social aspect of the surivors as well, each one has a need or want and you can keep them happy by scavenging items they need (such as booze, dope, chocolate etc).

    Overall it's a great game, if you like either XCOM or Fallout type of games you will like this. My only gripes are that the mission maps are kind of smaller for a modern game and also that areas that you scavenge do not respawn (you can revisit them however). The world map looks big enough though.

    Kairo is 99c, this game is a must have if you are into puzzle adventures like Antichamber, Fez, Myst.



    There is no dialogue in the game - but there's an amazing story that is given out through very subtle hints. One of the best atmospheres I've experienced in a game between the music and aesthetics. I loved it so much I bought 4 copies for friends and the soundtrack! Highly recommended.

    Dead state is back up too 25 now,wish I'd gotten it yesterday now.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,569 ✭✭✭EoinHef


    Picked up Shadow Warrior last night,managed to squeeze in an hour or two. Enjoyed what i did get to play. Melee combat in first person takes a bit of getting used to,its quite fast paced also

    Who doesnt love the idea of being a sword and gun wielding maniac though :pac:

    There's a good chance it'll be repeated at some stage. The last few sales have seen some games go on sale more than once, showing up as a Featured Deal and then as a Flash Sale later on.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,999 ✭✭✭Wossack


    bought rage, and risk of rain (so far). Will get a few more bits on the last day prob


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,116 ✭✭✭Professional Griefer

    Anyone played Mafia 2? Its 5 euro on g2a, I've heard good things but Idk if I'll actually play it. :o


  • Registered Users Posts: 81,626 ✭✭✭✭Overheal
