I made my first purchase. €5.99 for Blackguards+expansion and two adventure games set in the same universe.
Steam summer sale 2015
I ended up getting
- Blackguards
- Broken Sword 5: The Serpent’s Curse
- Gunpoint
- Memoria
- The Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav
These sales are getting worse every time. The average price for interesting deals has moved from about €5 to €10-15.
I just picked up The Fall on Wii U in that sweet humble bundle.
Lemme know when you give it a shot, I haven’t started it yet.
I LOVE it. It’s pretty amazing. I’m 2 hours in and the story and dialogue are pretty fantastic. The puzzle solving is very simple and something takes a little more time than i’d like, because you have to walk everywhere and sometimes you have to explore very thoroughly before advancing. You can also solve puzzles out of order which is a bit confusing to me at times but the game does a good job of keeping you in check.
The story is really cool so far. It’s basically about AI conflicts, and your character is constantly trying to work around hard coded rules and parameters to advance through the game. Very strong.
I wish it had a mouse sensitivity scale though, it’s lower than comfortable and i’m not in the mood to use the gamepad. But that’s a problem you won’t have i guess.
Strider and Freedom Planet.
Strider is an pretty freaking cool Metroidvania clone.
Freedom Planet is an eh remake in the style of an eh Sonic game.
Strider is awesome. I thought the later levels weren’t as fun as the first but it was good fun anyway.
