Dear Esther and Gone Home.
Finally got AC2 working right. Feels.
"It is a good life we lead, brother."
Sorry for the Steamshot, the uncompressed is on my other PC.
Now I want to get Brotherhood too, but I've got no more sale money.
Not sure if you could count those.
To The Moon maybe? Would definitely recommend it if you haven't played it already.
I haven't played either, yet, but To The Moon gets so many positive recommendations from the steam thread.
Good suggestions monk

Can anyone give a quick lowdown on Sins of a solar empire and if it's worth getting?
The reviews on it seems interesting but the pretty high pricetag and the supposedly gameplay is hard to get into from what I've read.

If you like point&click you might wanna try Machinarium or Botanicula. I don't exactly remember how long it took me, but it was basically one morning each.

Thanks! What I wanted to hear
Something tells me there will be a Brothers giveaway soon...
They're like like 2 hours each at most.
DLC Quest
Escape Goat
Eversion
Botanicula might be a liiittle longer than 3 hours, but I think it's a reasonable "single sitting" game given how easy it is.
Yeah, but as in they're not the complete game.

I just played like five minutes of SNOW. No sound, text plastered over the screen during gameplay and white flashes looping every 3 seconds or so. Early access is an understatement.
I guess we'll see how the situation develops over the next three to six months.

I loved AvP. It's too bad the matchmaking was so poor because it has some of the best competetive gameplay. Aliens vs. Marine matches were always full of tension. Game could have used some better multiplayer maps though.
Thanks Grief. I really like it To the Moon but to be honest it's not a game for everyone. There's almost no gameplay elements and it's something for those who like a Story, simple as that. The soundtrack is really amazing with some relaxing and very touching Piano tunes to get you in the mood. The end was satisfying enough and the length of the game is enough to keep you interested from start to finish, but just like I said, it's not for everybody. Either way I think it was an enjoyable experience.
I think they unleashed a total 'finnish games' shitstorm from all the people that will buy it now and be appalled at the state it's in.
You'll always have waves of stuff to kill. Personally I enjoyed killing them, especially because the more I killed consecutively increasing the combo lenght, the more exp I got, the faster I leveled up, the easier it got to break the game. Which made the enemies respawning when leaving and re-entering quite the nice touch to level up even faster in those screens full of enemies close to each other.

Someone earlier asked it and someone answered that you can do it in the launcher, but I haven't tested yet so can't verify.
Journey, Gone Home.
If you're talking about a single "gaming day" type of thing, then Spec Ops: the Line and Binary Domain can be knocked out in a one day gaming session
Oh, and I guess you can also count Stanley Parable
But I feel a nap coming on!
The 2am-9:30am stretch of voting/flash deals is the hardest for us UK folk. Especially when you're off work and don't want to be waking up early.
This one I need to get.
I might pick up DLC Quest and Evoland as well.
How much was Stanley Parable when it was a daily/flash this sale?
Didn't know that, it is pretty cool!
woo and indeed hoo

FTL!
That can be completed in one sitting.
After one has played it for 200 odd hours and started to get a clue about what one is doing.
*cough*

the only game in my wishlist is the walking dead season 2, but I won't pay full price for an unfinished game... maybe in 8 months...

Thank you Colin for Sanctum 2! The mix of tower defense and FPS sounded really interesting to me. Can't wait to play!
Think it was 40% off.

Oh I won Orcs Must Die 2, thanks Colin! The original game looked interesting but I never played it, don't imagine it's the type of game where that matters though.

Finally placed a door in Terraria! Life validated!
Gunpoint and Brothers are both great. I didn't like Dust, for many different reasons. Art, voice acting, type of action, feel of the jumping, none of it grabbed me.

Hardships? Come on, please drop the condescending sarcasm. I merely stated my personal impressions in regards to a comment which said that the furry style of its art wasn't worthy of mention at ALL.
The specific subject of my comments is easily seen in the first sentence, "the basic aesthetics of most/all deviantart style furry/anthropomorphism art". It is the typical deviantart style of furry/anthropomorphism art that I am specifically referencing. I bought it because of the potential good gameplay that I heard high praise for, a position you seem to support, before apparently using it to dismiss my own basis and reasoning for purchasing it.
Clearly I didn't take issue with the style of art enough to keep me from buying the game. The thing I mentioned as being egregious wasn't the art in the game once I played it, but the ridiculously cloying voice work and dialogue of the character "Fidget". But even after I mentioned the level of repulsive annoyance that "Fidget" brought to my experience, I still made an allowance for anyone interested, and that being getting the game at a cheaper price in a bundle later on. How is this not a reasonable position to take in regards to someone else who might potentially have the same basic issues before purchasing that I did? At the least they will see someone mention something and then go look up a gameplay video to see if that character grates on their nerves as she did mine.

I think this is the first "Early Access" game from Steam that I've ever played (besides Mercenary Kings which was a beta iirc). I'll definitely keep my eye out for "early access" from now on. Hopefully in six months I'll be having a blast with SNOW.
Those are 3 pretty substantially different games. It depends what you're looking for.
I've only put a little bit of time into Gunpoint but I am really impressed with the mechanics so far. So I'm gonna recommend that since everyone else will say Brothers.
