Man, Shadwen is still fucking rough.
And I'm not talking about the wonky animations or the npcs getting stuck on walls, I'm talking about random highlights "sticking" for a whole fucking level...

You need to construct your grappling hook at the start by gathering elements, and it tells you to "drag the found objects to the schematics", but if you don't have all of them, it'll just reset it every time.

Well, the entire game is sylish. But those sections make me not want to replay the game after i unlock the highest difficulty.

Wait they are not skippable after you have already seen them? How does someone make a game like this? Should be a no brainer to include a skip option for replayability.

Idk, nothing I can really grasp on to. I didn't hate it but I didn't find it particularly impressive after all the praise either :/

If I want to be picky, only real thing I can say is I found it difficult to follow how or even why
the ghosts are able to move people and objects around in time? Or why they insist on playing games with the kids?

Kinda felt like something you just accept rather than is explained, like the
game repeating at the end or that your character just somehow got out of being sealed in with the ghosts

3 hours in and Ghost 1.0 keeps being great, although I found a weird bug. I'm not sure what triggers it, maybe it's because of the Steam overlay, since it happened twice some time after I brought up the overlay to look at some achievement I unlocked?
This bug turns menus unresponsive (can't scroll through them nor select anything). I can exit them by pressing ESC, so I don't get stuck in there but I can't save/teleport at the save points. I can use the Save&Quit option from hitting ESC once (the options sub-menu doesn't work though) and I have to quit the game completely and restart it to get it to work correctly again.
Time to dive into the steam thread to check if someone else encountered the same issue and if there's a solution or a reason for it.

I bought Stardew during the sale and it's a great game. It's so good it puts any harvest Moon to shame. Really impressive from one guy.

SteamWorld Heist is hard as fuck on the higher difficulties. Really turning me off the game so I think I'm going to turn it down. Needed something light to cool off after finishing Dark Souls 3 and so far it's not doing it for me.

Fair enough,
I don't think that first one was explicitly stated, but
since they're uncoupled from our reality by the implosion of their nuclear reactor and taken outside of our normal dimensions, and time and space are just dimensions, they can shift things around easily from the 'outside'?
There's more ending options than that, btw.

Yeah that's kinda what I thought :/

Didn't know about the other ending stuff though! Well apart from
giving them Cassandra
but I wasn't going to do that

Great giveaway Dupy! Good luck to whoever wins. Came so close to triggering the purchase button on this myself during the sale.

Does anyone know what can cause the "Steam Client WebHelper" to suddenly use up all of the available bandwidth upon launching a game? I had this happen a couple of times already with CS:GO. The odd thing is that this one out of three processes doesn't seem to stop transferring data no matter how long I wait and the only way to fix it is to kill the process and wait for it to relaunch. What is that process even supposed to do when in-game? Syncing workshop items?

Wish I could erase Witcher 3 from my steam library and memory, so I'd be able to experience it again. Superb game and awesome giveaway!

Is A:I good? Can't remember buying it but it's in my library.

So what are the entry requirements for becoming a part of the Steam community thread? Enjoyed the banter and discussion in the Steam Sale thread and thought I would follow everyone back.

Also cross posting my Halo giveaway from the "Free to a good home" thread. Check it out here. It's technically not a Steam game but figure people around here would be interested.

I have not. In fact I havent really messed around with any steam options. I apologize for my apparent super offensive time wasting question that you wasted about as much time being snarky about it as you would have just saying "yes there is, go here:"

I thought it might come across snarky. I didn't mean it that way. I was just answering my own question, which was obvious (or you'd have seen the option).
