Steam Autumn Sale

Post by Joose »

Ah, shit.

Not a huge selection actually. Walking Dead is in there for about £5, which is well worth it if you havent got it already. Sleeping Dogs is only £4 and is a reasonably decent GTA with kung fu. Anything else anyone can recommend?

Thank fuck it's not too good. My wallet couldn't take it at this time of year. Of note from me:

Outlast (-66%, £5.09) - Supposed to be a pretty good FPS horror, I'll be picking this up as it's been on my wishlist waiting for a decent sale for ages.
Space Hulk (-66%, £7.81) - From what I've heard this is probably about what it's worth, and it has a few extra missions on top of what it was released with. Will probably get it unless someone says otherwise.
Castle Story (-33%, £10.04) - It's in a playable state now, feels like a light game rather than a tech demo. If you're waiting to play it now might be the time because it doesn't seem to go any lower, if you're on the fence you could afford to wait and see if it does drop more.
Civ V: Brave New World (-50%, £9.99) - This is apparently well worth it, although I've not really played since I bought it. If you plan on playing Civ again it's a good time.

Oh crap, half my wishlist is on sale...

Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs (-35%, $8.44) - Supposed to be a good FPS horror, in a different way to Outlast.
TrackMania Valley / Stadium (-50%, £7.99 / £3.99) - Everyone loves Trackmania, right?
Under the Ocean (-75%, £1.74) - Looked interesting on release, I didn't ever get round to it.
Gone Home (-50%, £7.49) - Critically acclaimed, I might skip it for the next one.
Metro: Last Light (-33%, £16.74) - Supposed to be good but I've enough to spend my money on here.
Wargame AirLand Battle (-66%, £13.59) - The original had loads of potential, but because this has such a high starting price it still can't justify my buying it right now.
Sid Meier's Air Patrol (-50%, £1.99) - Well worth this price for what is effectively the whole DLC package in the iPad version. Not too deep but a nice diversion.

Stop press, Gamefly are also doing a big-ass sale today.
http://digital.gamefly.co.uk/

They've got a fair few games cheaper than on the Steam sale, and if you dawdle on that page for a while they're offering a further 20% off on a little pop-up.

Gonna get me some Brave New World for £5.43 (£9.99 on steam sale)

Ugh. I was just playing Outlast in the dark and had to turn it off when Mrs Pants went to bed. Creepy, although in the cold light of day I can see it being just gore and cheap shocks. So play it at night if you did/do pick it up.

Steer clear from Godus, by the looks of it. The reviews are awful.

Far Cry 3 or Blood Dragon for a fiver though? Looks like a mighty deal. Fez is £1.74 too, if you like puzzlers. It's pretentious, but heaps of fun.

Yes, but in its current state not only does it have little of appeal, but they've also made some terrible design decisions which actively detract from the experience. Personally I think it could be turned around with time and effort, but I wouldn't buy it until they did because chances are they won't.
