Final Haul:
Tales from the Borderlands - 2,39€( with reduction from selling cards )
Astebreed - 4,49€
Thumper - 15,99€
Total = 22.87€

Not bad, i spent most of my cash on the Oculus store getting games for Touch. This sale was pretty crappy as the discounts were too low and as usual you can get most of the games cheaper elsewhere) same as last year tbh ), but you see 50% off and the game is still 29.99 lol.

I would normally pick up a good few games or even the cheapies for the collection but only bought Satellite Reign

Picked up The Stanley Parable, The Beginner's Guide, Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, Lisa, Grow Home and Oxenfree. I've already finished the first three over Christmas so I might have actually managed to avoid buying things I won't play this time around.

Well... It depends. I definitely wouldn't recommend it to everyone. If you liked Dear Esther (I didn't) I'd say you'll definitely like it as it's a much better made and more interesting game than that. But in my view it doesn't measure up to other walking simulators like Gone Home, for example.

The world is absolutely beautifully put together, stunning to look at and it creates a fantastic atmosphere. But I found it to be almost excruciatingly slow paced (much like Dear Esther). I mean that literally, in terms of how slowly your character moves around. The environment is big enough that moving through treacle the whole time actually hinders your desire to explore, which is pretty much exactly the opposite of what you want in a game like this.

The subplots are actually more interesting than the main plot, which sort of gives the impression that it's saying something more profound than it really is. But altogether the whole thing has a nice eerie vibe to it. I finished it, and I'd say I mostly enjoyed it, but I'd say you definitely need to be a fan of the genre. I wouldn't play through it a second time like.

I got motorsport manager....

It's all I need...

Fecking 3am last night and work today, just clicking one more race. I swear Civ 5 wasn't this bad.

As a walking simulator goes it's probably one of the worst I've played. It starts off interesting and mysterious with some good sub plots and then it introduces sci fi elements that are just really, really dumb and it all falls apparent like a bad M Night Shymalanndnandnakf film.

I thought the novelty quickly faded and i just wanted to finish it asap. It drags on a bit much, but I looks nice.

This as well. I think the sweet point for these kinds of games is 2-3 hours.

I only bought two games over Christmas, probably the least amount I've snagged in the past 10 years.

Got Broforce on Steam (€3.49) and Batman Arkham Knight (€4.15 or so) from a key place. My backlog is such that I just can't justify getting any games, even though there are dozens from 2015 and 2016 that I'd love to play. Still have yet to get GTA V, despite it being high on my 'really want to play' since release!
