Blue Monthly
How does it feel, to add to your backlog?
When you’ve subbed’ to the Humble Monthly, and own none of the games?
I thought it was a bargain, I thought I’d play them all.
Tell me when will I play? Tell me now, when will I play?
Fanatical Star Deal today is the very interesting looking Book of Demons for $11.99 (40%). I’ve had this indie RPG on my wishlist for a while now, but I may wait for a 50% discount or more before pulling the trigger (see backlog referenced above).
Also new at Fanatical, the Spotlight 4 Bundle showcases 10 Indie Steam games for $2.49. I do not know much about the included games, although twin-stick shooter Thoth did receive some positive attention from critics awhile back.
IndieGala has a new Monday Motivation Bundle featuring 12 Steam games for $2.99. Again, mostly unheard of indie games, though puzzle game Sugar Box has positive reviews and strategy hybrid Goblin Harvest : The Mighty Quest looks unique and interesting.
Thoth is very good. Levels play quickly so retrying is painless. I never had to bang my head for too long before I could beat the 5 levels in a row to hit the next save point. It was about the right amount of challenging.
Roguelike dungeon crawler Dungeon Souls is the Fanatical Star Deal today at $3.89 (70%).
Also at Fanatical, the Very Positive Sale features discounts of up to 80% on 40 or so games rated very positive on Steam.
IndieGala has a new Brain Teaser Bundle live today for $2.99. 9 Indie Steam games, including 90’s-style 16bit RPGs Dragon’s Twilight and Shattered Throne, both of which get positive reviews, and arcade puzzlers VEX and Radium 2.
Over at GreenManGaming they are having a Loose Change Games Sale where a few dozen small indie titles are on sale for only $0.20-$0.50 each. Basically you can build-your-own bundle of cheap indies.
Just ordered a Dell Visor for my second PC. Looks like it’s gonna be multiplayer VR flight sim combat with the kid!
They all have similar specs, but the Dell is the choice of the current models due to widest FOV (110 degrees) and headset comfort. $229 with controllers!
Whatever your take on Windows Mixed Reality, the Windows Store, etc., these things support Steam VR, so you can essentially run almost everything that runs on the Vive.
(If the Dell runs out, the Acer is supposed to be really good as well.)
Thank you for this link: Steam’s own (from their front page!) has been leading to empty or bogus page since the beginning of the new year. I am sure the issue will be solved as soon as Valve contracts one of those… humans, if their 2018 budget allows it.
Heh, here I thought I was the only person having that issue with the Weeklong Deals link since the Winter Sale ended. I just linked to all Specials, which includes all the Weeklong Deals and anything else on a discount.
Ironically, not long after you posted the “broken” link, it started working again. Gabe is everywhere…
