As with each Steam sale I tend to avoid the bigger titles, aiming to get more bang or pew pew for my buck.
So in this sale Rachy and I loaded our wallets up in an attempt to avoid the pull of just buying everything. The result of this has been that we have been a little more frugal and mostly buying those titles that are good value for money. A well kept wishlist is all worth it when the Steam Sale comes to town.
It’s worth mentioning that we recently bought a wired controller for the PC, mostly to play the large number of platformers that we have accumulated over the years. Plus it opens up alot more that suggest a controller as the preferred input method.
So here are the titles I picked up over the last week:
Party of Sin
First up is a fun platformer that features the 7 Sins manifest into humanoid form, each with a unique ability that you have to utilise in order to solve puzzles and defeat enemies. I’ve not put in a massive about of time with this, but the parts I have played was more that adequate to confirm that the game is enjoyable and to my tastes.
End of stage boss fight wasn’t too taxing and a small amount of trial and error saw me overcome this challenge.
The Longest Journey + Dreamfall
I re-bought the classic Funcom titles as I wanted to play them before next years release of the 3rd game, my previous copies have gone walk about.
Sanctum 2
The follow up the Tower Defense/FPS game. Really looking forward to sinking some time into this as I enjoyed the first game alot.
DLC Quest
A title that carries a warning of DLC going too far, rather annoying but fun.
The Witcher 2
I tried the original title out and found it tricky so, for a lower price I thought I’d give the franchise another shot.
Dishonored
Hear many things about Arkane Studios game, this was about 75% which is a good start for my wallet. I’m really looking forward to getting into the midst of the city of Dunwall.
Reus
This title from Abbey Games is a God Sim, well kind of. You control a number of giants (gods) who help you to shape a grey barren world. As you progress through the set goals the gameplay continually expands into new and differing tasks and activities. You have to balance the development of the world and the civilizations that evolve.
I also picked the following DLC:
Demolition Inc – Levels DLC
Skyrim Hearthfire
Tropico 4: Pirate Heaven DLC
Defense Grid: Containment DLC
Civ V Korea/Wonders DLC Combo
