Never heard of it.
I’ve been waiting for Torchlight II to come out DRM-free and it looks like it finally happened, so I guess I’m in. It only took two and a half years. I’ve played a bit of Outlast since I bought it during the last GOG sale and it was nice and creepy, but I eventually grew bored of it. I’ve had La-Mulana and UnEpic for ages but still haven’t tried them out. Never heard of Pixel Piracy or Super Splatters.
I vastly preferred La-Mulana to UnEpic. UnEpic was too much of an RPG for my tastes (I prefer my exploratory platformers to be based primarily on player skill, an area La-Mulana has locked down), and the writing was largely forced nerd humor. The view area didn’t help either; the game is unplayable at anything lower than 1080p, and still isn’t very playable at that resolution because it’s so zoomed out, something you really don’t want in a platformer.

Steam midweek #3: Octodad: Dadliest Catch - $4.94 - 67% off.
Same, I played on my small Sony Vaio with about the same resolution. I found UnEpic to be quite enjoyable. Many complain about the ‘nerd humour’, but it’s very easy to ignore.

I never did the Jurassic Park one, it’s not nearly as good as the Walking Dead or Wolf among Us, is it?
Nowhere near as good. The story and gameplay are pretty awful, but it’s a solid companion to the movies if you liked them. I ended up really enjoying it after I started failing all the QTEs on purpose. It has very satisfying deaths for every annoying character.

What type of combat does that Injustice game have? Is it like the Batman games combat?
More like Mortal Kombat.
Also, it’s a free weekend (on Steam) for Talisman, which is great because I could download it, play it for 5 minutes and confirm I never ever want to play it again.
Using the code HappyEaster15 gets you 30% off anything in the Matrix catalog, including the excellent Vietnam '65. That brings the price down to $7, so what are you waiting for?
It probably doesn’t work on orders through Steam, but you can still buy direct and then get a Steam key from Slitherine.
More fun with real people, way more fun in real life. :)

They ARE, as is the writing. Really entertaining game with just a ton of content. It’s been on sale for cheaper, though, FYI.
