Honestly I had to go back and look and see what the difference between it and the Red Bull one was.

My bro Stall is going to be very happy.
The game's in a fairly good state now. It still doesn't run quite as well as it should, especially during the Karnaca Docks level, but maintaining 60fps is now achievable if you've the hardware or are willing to compromise on settings.
Edit: You'll want to opt into the betapatch branch as it's the most current publicly-accessible build.

Feels shitty that there's that much cosmetic DLC for a retail game

Maybe it'll eventually go F2P like DOA5

On one hand, I wouldn't mind getting this. On the other hand, I could wait for the Winter Sale and the money spent can go towards the special Holiday cards.
Providing it goes back to 50% off during the Winter Seal.
Well issue is that we don;t know will it be 50% off
Logic says it will but strange things can happen Chairmanchuck

I can see them not wanting it at 50% off for the whole winter sale, he's been pretty adamant about not discounting quickly.
Is there gameplay? I've seen it compared to Journey, which at least has some puzzles and jumping, or is it more like Virginia where you are basically guided through the whole thing?
What's that game?

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
I played it during this year's Extra Life stream. There is some gameplay, but I would say not even as much as Journey had. I also played Virginia the same day, and I feel like Abzu was only marginally more of "a game" than Virginia.
Abzu is pretty neat and really nice looking - but there is almost no replayability.

This is why i don't put too much faith in a developer or publisher's words/statements
Other than the guy who made Axiom Verge.
Rimworld and Factorio developers seem adamant to keep their community smaller and enthusiasts.

The Witness has had many sales throughout the year. It's one of the few indies that has done it right.
Now, Stephen's Sausage Roll...

Man, just the time I would have to spend entering all the codes into Steam makes me less inclined to get this bundle, honestly. It would help if there was one game that actually interested me, at least
in about 5 hours and 18 minutes

Hm. OK, I guess I'll have to decide if $10 for an experience is worth it. It would be one towards 52 for the year I guess
lol

That can't be Drew, he doesn't have a beard.
You should grab it, well worth it and not a game you want spoiled.

Been playing this, one of the games I got this sale. Figured I'd try out some less noticed "puzzle" titles of the year that have just flown entirely under the radar or lack significant data or reviews.
One word: unimpressed.
Minimalist thing where you play as the black box pictured above, move across the board to reach the coloured + to colour yourself to that. You then have to get to the coloured patch that matches it to drop the target square to its black piece. Right, right, simple enough. Plenty of iOS/Android games like this that do it (and better, tbh).
But the Normal is too easy. And Smart is too easy. I haven't had the chance to touch the Genius set of levels, but I'm hoping it does something for me. 16 levels to each, ends real quickly. Wouldn't replay it. Barely want to touch it as is, I'm bored of it. ¯\_(ツ

It is listed in the "Recently released" section, but it just shows how messed up Steam has become.

Sadly this is how I've begun to view gaming, both indie and AAA. Graphics, stuff to do, but little attention to the core gameplay (and often technical performance) that should matter as much. Devs keep doing it because people keep falling for it. Reviewers in particular.
Maybe this is why so many folks just play Spelunky and Bad Rats for hours on end.

Thumper. You want to play Thumper.
