It may finally be time for me to pick up Crusader Kings III by Paradox.

Boom. I'd been looking the past few days but held off thinking the Summer Sale was around the corner, and it duly arrived.

I remember when this was a big event here, with members posting what they bought in the various Steam sales.

I'll have a bash and see what comes up.

DOS2 for $18 is a good deal, but I got it already. $20 for Borderlands 3, same. Forza Horizon 4 for $30. Was thinking of picking it up but needs an X Box account I think. Looks fun. Warhammer 2 for $30. Metro Exodus Gold for $16,

I might finally pick up Disco Elysium, which intrigues me. I'll get something I'm sure.

Grab Bard's Tale IV. I'm only about 23 hours into the game, but so far is one of the best I have played in a couple of decades.

Many industry analysts predicted that this would happen and it seems that it has happened to a significant degree. The same thing happened with music. Once consumers could stream it for free from Youtube or from a dedicated service like Spotify or Pandora, many of them saw no reason to ever pay for music again.

Thanks for the recommendation. I had considered it and passed it over because it seems puzzle-heavy, which I'm not exactly opposed to, but that I often find not fun too. Depends on the game and the puzzles I guess. I'll give it a closer look.

The combat is a fantastic evolution of turn based dungeon crawler style. Hard to describe, but know that on hard difficulty(not the hardest) you can't simply click attack and win. Every combat plays out differently. Think of chess meets dungeon crawler meets battletech.

Kind of.

I already had Shadowrun free on GOG but I have never played it. Are these games like XCOM with regards to turn-based maneuvers? How are the stories in these games? Thanks for the heads up.

Pretty much like XCOM, although personally I like the Shadowrun series better. I find the storyline better made (more thought put into it), and the cyberpunk setting is more of my liking. It´s been some years since I played either but I remember I ejoyed Shadowrun alot more. The same goes for Xenonauts, I liked that better then XCOM, Xenonauts is more like the earlier XCOM, which for me is better then the new incarnation.

Played all 3. First one is just okay story line wise. The 2nd one was really good, the 3rd they really shined on it, but there are a few things I don't like about the pacing. You have to pick your missions carefully or you don't get to see a decent portion of the story. The story is probably the best of them.

First one spoiler:
You fight a cult with some spiders and a portal.


Overall the 2nd two are definitely solid games, First one you can skip if you aren't really into the RPG. None of them are connected so you can play whatever you want. If you like Cyberpunk stuff with some magic, I'd definitely do the last two, Dragon Fall and Hong Kong.

Thanks Chucky! I´ll go for TSW2 and see how it runs. TWS wasn't quite optimized for my pc and ran like crap on some runs. I have Run8 Installed but haven't touched it for awhile.
