I got Outlast but after the first few scares it just seems more like an adventure game / visual novel.
I was really freaked out about that game until I ran into a room while a guy was chasing me. I turned around and just ran past him out the door.
Kinda when the smoke and mirrors vanished.
I bought it on the PC a while ago but never got around to playing it then they gave it away for free on PS4 so I've just been playing that. I bought the Whistleblower DLC on the PC though. I heard that was better than the base game in some respects. Mostly pacing.
I am sorta thinking about getting realMyst Masterpiece edition. I think it's just a HD version of realMyst with probably some other enhancements too. I've never played myst but always been curious about it and thought it would be a good way to try the game but people have said that realMyst didn't really work too well. Maybe I should just pick up Myst from GOG if I want to try it. Any input from anyone?
I was considering Murdered: Soul Suspect but then someone reminded me that it was a Squenix game and they become 50%-75% within ~6 months of them being released. Also bought all the Wing Commander games from GOG for $10.
I've actually bought more stuff off of GOG than I have off Steam this summer sale.
Nidhogg is worth $5 if you ever have people over and want a light game to play in the background socially. Think like the way we'd have Street Fighter going at a party.
I was hoping Towerfall would go on a bigger sale to suit this purpose. Nidhogg and Samurai Gunn have served me very well as group social games. Fun to play, fun to watch.
I think it's a bit weird that Battlefront 2 is on flash sale, when the game is now fundamentally broken and doesn't really work - it's a multiplayer only FPS, except that all of the network multiplayer is now non-functional. You can only play the singleplayer VS bots, and maybe LAN multiplayer.
If you use Steam Achievement manager(which I had lying around after buying Dawn of War 2 standalone, of all things - long story, with mustaches). Messing around with Risk of Rain, trying to find out if the character unlocks were tied to the achievements or if it was the other way around, I found out that if you open a game's achievements window in S.A.M, Steam behaves as if you had the game open - including dropping cards as normal. You do have to poke it every now and again, though - but the efficiency for card drops is increased, plus you save on the whole having to download it part, which is handy for larger games that you finished before the card system was introduced.
If you enjoyed Deus Ex I would recommend Dishonored. Not quite the same thing but close enough and Dishonored is just a good game overall. One of the only games where I bought and actually played through the DLC.
I haven't understood why any of the community choices have won when the loser tends to almost always be better. The games don't generally even enter the best selling list. I guess people are just choosing ones that have games they like even if they own them. Which, by the way, is a fucking stupid strategy.
If I don't like either of the choices, I vote for the section with the games I like most so that others can buy and experience them.
The problem with that strategy is it often puts games that have already been on sale (sometimes more than once in the summer sale already) back on sale. Like today. I lose out on 75% off Ikaruga and get shitty ass deals like Borderlands and Dark Souls which have been on sale so many times before. Borderlands has been in each category so far. Fuck Borderlands.
EDIT: I guess none have gone on sale three times but there have been a decent amount on sale more than once.
So I compiled some interesting statistics so far on the current sale now updated with the new deals. There have been 244 deals so far, 200 of which are unique, so 44 games have gotten repeat deals. There have been no game with three sales yet. 82 games have lost the Community Choice (CC) votes so far, but only 15 of them have been deals elsewhere. 7 of those 15 games have been deals before they lost the CC vote (Warlock 2, LEGO Movie the Videogame, Jazzpunk, Scribblenauts, Contagion, Dark Souls, and Star Wars Battlefront II). That leaves 67 games which have lost the CC vote, but haven't been on sale yet. Of the 44 games that have been repeated 22 were selected in the CC vote first and then went on a Flash deal or Daily Deal afterward. 20 were voted on sale by the community despite having already been on sale. Two games (Bioshock Infinite and Assassin's Creed IV) have been a Daily Deal and a Flash sale, but not a Community Choice yet. No game has been on sale in the same method twice yet (in other words, no deal has been a Flash sale twice, CC twice, Daily twice).

Or one.

Yeah, it is good though very slow starting. Also do not skip the tutorials, your people will die and you will have no idea why.
