And the framerate? Well, you won’t be disappointed. Playing this on a relatively modest PC rig, running a 750ti and i5-4670k, I’ve had virtually no issues with most settings on high while running in 1080p, maintaining 60 frames per second throughout. Even in some of the dense, forested sections, encountering larger enemies like the Chimera, Dark Arisen on PC doesn’t seem to hitch up at all.

The six-degrees of freedom subgenre of shooters had an illustrious start thanks to the Descent franchise, but in recent years, the genre has laid relatively dormant, not yet rising anew like the space sim and CRPG outside of minor titles such as NeonXSZ and Kromaia. But while the Kickstarter success of Descent Underground offers some competitive 6DOF action, Sublevel Zero blends the genre with the looming tension of a roguelike, to stellar results.

The story merely serves as a framework for the action. Reality has been crumbling for centuries, parts of the universe vanishing from existence and appearing elsewhere or not at all. The secrets to discovering why space-time has been torn asunder and saving the ravaged universe rests inside a mysterious facility.

Finding that secret won't be easy. Throughout cramped technological tunnels and lava-lit caverns where it's easy to lose your bearings to cavernous crystalline quarries, mechanical threats lurk at every turn. Enemies range from drifting slow-firing drones to wall-crawling tanks, and you can't take any lightly. Permadeath looms over every new room and every unknown corner, so each encounter must be tackled like it could be your last. An aggressive offense is the best defense here: deftly weaving between projectiles, boosting past enemies to spin around and unleash a storm of energy as they're turning to lock onto you,

Agility and speed will only get you so far in Sublevel Zero, and a vast arsenal awaits you. Autocannons and miniguns that fire out bullets at a lightning pace. Railguns, flamethrowers, devastating shredder shotguns. Grenades and homing rockets. Each weapons has unique stats - Marksman class being more accurate, Relentless having better firing rates and damage - and by combining two weapons, you can create a new weapon that inherits those two. This simple crafting system expands your array of weapons even more, unlocking powerful firepower like the ion beam, plasmacaster, homing missile swarm, magnetic explosives, and more.

Each weapon feels powerful and satisfying to use, tearing through the levels in overwhelming streaks of colorful energy. You never know what weapons you might come across, so improvising with what you have on hand is key to survival. One minute, you might be a sniper taking out enemies from a distance with a railgun; later, you'll be softening up drones with lasers before boosting in to finish them off with a shredder blast.

But all those weapons wouldn't matter if Sublevel Zero's movement was as fun and responsive it is. Thrusting down its serpentine tunnels or flipping around a junction or retreating from a relentless ground of enemies is always satisfying and you always feel in control.

Sublevel Zero combines the claustrophobic tunnels and hectic action of Descent with the looming tension and unpredictable nature of the roguelite, each playthrough delivering reckless flights down tight corridors and relentless firepower.
 
I've spent this entire sale building up a cart of games to purchase and steam fuckin cleared my cart.

I've got almost all of it built back up but theres one game missing. This is the pits!

That looks really cool, wishlisted, thanks for the gifs.
 
Groupees got a new profile page and guess what. It's much worse than before. Surprise.

Groupees profile page was the only good thing left about the site. Why would they change it?

To claim that you own a game on Steam and that's it futureproof just solidifies some of my prejudice against the Steam-prophets that spit on other platform owners. Especially since the Christmas incident.
I'll enjoy playing GF on my Vita and buy it the next time it's on Humble Bundle, hopefully DRM-free.
You know, for the future proof I'll never use.

Yeah I get sick of the "future proof" argument on both sides. The physical is better crowd ignores the fact that shit gets lost and broken all the time. The fact that I no longer have my old rpgs isn't because I sold them. And on the flip side, if you're going to play a game once, which is what most people do with most games, the format you have it in after is meaningless. But hey, this is Gaf, where everyone's opinion is bad and all taste is wrong. Or something like that.
 
Life is Strange.

Dropsy
Life is Strange
Grim Fandango
Amanita Collection has three very pretty and good PnC.
Blackwell Bundle Note: the last game Epiphany is sold separately. Actually everything from Wadjet Eye Games are worth checking out.

The first episode of King's Quest is $0.99. The full game doesn't have a very good discount currently, but it's very good.

There is no Steam GOTY voting this year?



I'm loving Broken Age.

Browsing the Adventures category on Steam -> Batman: Arkham Knight - Original Arkham Batmobile DLC
Thanks Gabe, you're a great help.

Not the longest or most difficult adventure, story is interesting though.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/288930/

Short and basically a prequel to a bigger game that's coming next year but I loved it.

Bought any Wadjet Eye games yet? Like Technobabylon or the Blackwell series.

Broken Age - Like an old LucasArts adventure
http://store.steampowered.com/app/232790/

Gray Matter - Like an old Sierra adventure
http://store.steampowered.com/app/260570/

The Dream Machine Chapter 1-2 - First parts of a new well received p&c adventure
http://store.steampowered.com/app/94300/


Blackwell series, the new King's Quest, Primordia.


Thanks for the recommendations, I think I will go with Life is Strange and one of the Wadget Eye Games, probably Technobabylon or Primordia.

I wanted the new King's Quest but there is some bullshit going on where if you buy the cheap first chapter you can't get the epilogue in any other way, besides all chapters (Complete Collection) are too expensive for me right now.

We still don't know how significant the Epilogue chapter will be. And given all the controversy it raised, there's a good chance they'll include it later on.

As for the game, only 2 episodes are out. And 1 episode of the game is like 5-6 hours.
Buying the first episode, and then 2-5 is cheaper than the whole season pass. And I think it'll still be cheaper even if they price Epilogue without any discount.
 
My ¿final? loot this sale:
  • Divinity: Original Sin
  • Final Fantasy XIII
  • Final Fantasy XIII-2
  • Undertale
  • Fairy Fencer F

Can someone recommend some good obscure [J]RPG for less than $10?

I personally recommend getting it.
You can always get the Complete Collection when it goes for cheap and still get the Epilogue.
Heck you could even get it as a code and Steam should redeem it fine without any issues.

The Epilogue is a playable chapter, this has been confirmed-
