New year, new decade, old games, new games, and new bargains!
Let’s start off with an oldie but goodie!
Populous is 75% off at GoG. $1.49
Did anybody mention Pop- … Oh, I see. Nevermind, then!
I had forgotten how much of that game’s screen space was taken up by the interface. And yet, it still looks really good today. Thanks for that screenshot!
The mini-map is almost as big as the playable area!
That’s an optimization, bigger UI for better performance.

New Year, new thread.
Fanatical has The Broken Sword Complete Pack as the Star Deal for $3.99 (92%). Includes all 5 games delivered as 3 separate Steam keys.
The Best of Bento Bundle is $4.99 and includes 12 Anime-themed titles ranging from RPGs to horror games to top-down shooters to fighting games.
Steam has extended the deal on Disco Elysium through the weekend. $31.99 (20%).
A new Humble Choice Bundle is live. If you’re not currently a Choice subscriber ($12 for 10 games), you can pay $15 to select 3 games or $20 to select 9 games from the choices this month. It’s a good month, with choices that include:
- Graveyard Keeper
- Middle Earth : Shadow of War
- Two Point Hospital
- Bad North : Jotun Edition
- DiRT Rally 2.0
- Street Fighter V
- Trailmakers
- unrailed!
- Whispers of Machine
- Mages of Mystralia
- GRID Combat Racing
- Them’s Fightin’ Herds
$5 each for Two Point Hospital, Shadow of War and Graveyard Keeper or Bad North is a deal. $20 to get all four plus 5 additional titles is a steal.
Pretty happy with the Choice. I’m liking their mixture of high profile releases and interesting indie titles (I dont seem much chaff, although as a fighting game fan I would have preferred literally any other game in the genre besides SFV). Probably the best value in gaming for your $12 if you have wide ranging tastes.
Best Buy is having a deal through Google Shopping. 20% off an order up to $20. I just ordered a Nintendo Ring Fit Adventure for < $70.
Any Canadians in need of a gaming mouse should pick up two of the Logitech G502 SE from staples.ca today for $39.99 CAD each and use the $15 off $60 GOALS2020 coupon that expires on the 8th to get them for $32.50 each pre-tax. Its “regular” price is an overpriced MSRP of $79.99 but it really should be around $50-60.

Fanatical has side-scrolling RPG Regions of Ruin for $1.00 (92%) as the Star Deal today. That’s a steal.
They’ve also launched a Playway Mega Bundle for $3.99 which features 21 games and 3 DLC, none of which I’ve ever heard of.
Games I have heard of that Fanatical has on sale this weekend include:
- Space Hulk : Deathwing - Enhanced Edition - $9.99 (75%)
- Field of Glory II - $11.99 (60%)
- Field of Glory : Empires - $29.99 (25%)
- and wasn’t someone recently looking for a deal on RimWorld? It’s $31.45 (10%) right now on Fanatical, BUT if you buy the Star Deal of Regions of Ruin for $1, you get a code for 5% off your next purchase, which would lower RimWorld to $29.88.
IndieGala has a new Shade and Hate Bundle for $3.49 that includes Hatred, Daedalus : No Escape, and both Shadowgrounds games along with 4 other titles.
Indiegala also has a daily deal on Warhammer : Chaosbane for $19.99 (60%). Not quite a historic low, but pretty close.

Humble has a nice little Sweet Farm Bundle live today.
Pay $1 for Steam keys to:
- Niche
- MagiCat
- Evergarden
BTA (around $6) and receive:
- Equilinox
- Ultimate Chicken Horse
- Samorost 3
Pay $10 and unlock:
- Stardew Valley
Stardew Valley has been as low as $8.99 in recent sales, but for only a $1 more than it’s historic low you can tack on 6 additional titles, most of which are good games in their own right. Not a bad deal at all.
Meanwhile, the Humble Store has added Warner Bros., THQ Nordic and Deep Silver titles to their Winter Sale. I am disappointed however in the Deep Silver discounts, as I’d been saving up Humble Store credit that expires at the end of the month hoping for Pathfinder : Kingmaker on sale for the same $15.99 it was during the Steam and Fanatical Winter Sales. Nope, it’s $23.79 with Choice discount. Bah! Looks like I’ll be purchasing Pathway for $8.15 and maybe the Ashes of Malmouth expansion for Grim Dawn for $9.94 instead. The Forgotten God expansion for Grim Dawn is $9.51 as well. Prices all reflect Humble Choice additional discount.
Over at Fanatical, the Star Deal today is Devil May Cry 5 : Deluxe Edition for $24.69 (65%). Includes base game and 12 DLCs. Pretty sure that is a historic low for the Deluxe Edition.
Also at Fanatical, the Adventure Pick & Mix Bundle is back, this time with some new titles added. 37 titles to choose from at 5 for $1.99, 10 for $3.79 or 15 for $4.99. Fall of Light, Distrust, DEX, Dead Age and Beholder make for a really nice bundle at $1.99.
Also just launched at Fanatical, the Kingdom Come : Deliverance Royal Bundle contains the base game and all 5 DLC for only $24.99 (38%). That’s a nice deal for anyone who has held out this long.
Also live, the GRIP : Combat Racing + Complete Garage Bundle which contains the base game and all 3 DLC for $16.75 (70%). Note to the Marketing Department : I had to look at that twice before I didn’t read it as “Complete Garbage Bundle”.
cdkeys has Horizon Zero Dawn Complete (PS4) for $6. I’ve always wanted to own the digital edition so what the heck.
