Prey is amazing in all ways. Deus Ex is great but the Story is meh, Dishonored 2 I havent played yet but I did enjoy D1.
I'm playing through the Dishonoured 1 DLCs, due to many suggesting doing so before playing DH2, and I forgot how much I loved this type of game. <3
My favorite purchase from this Steam Sale is still State of Decay. My god, I am having so much fun with it. I'll probably ignore the DLCs, but the OG version is legit fantastic.

Northgard looks very nice. Anyone played it?
But he should buy Cold Steel anyway.

It's not on sale, but if anyone is considering buying PUBG, get it on Amazon (Steam key). You get a $5 credit towards your next video game purchase when you buy it there. The credit got emailed to me the next day, and expires at the end of August.

Hard West is awesome though it has some mechanics issues. The enemy gets overwatch while you don't for one.
The Feud is coming soon as well at some point.
It's a rather shallow reason, but the fact that it is 3D (without sprites for character) , and seems to more directly target certain Anime cliches (For a casual observer it looks like something about Japanese school children) might make it more appealing to a larger audience.
But the Sky games are 3D as well
But yeah, it obviously looks less dated so that alone is very likely a plus.
By all accounts, Cold Steel should do much better than Sky SC and 3rd.
If you're asking if buying a game on Uplay also grants you the Steam version, like some sort of SteamPlayesque system, then no. They're separate SKUs to the point that you can't actually launch the Steam version of a Uplay game from Uplay itself.
Edit: To be clear, the Steam versions of Uplay games are listed in your Uplay library, but if you try to launch one, the action will be rerouted to Steam:
Weird! Okay thanks.

For Steam? If you buy a Ubisoft game anywhere except Steam you will not have it attached to your steam account. If you buy it on Steam, it launches Uplay and you log into your ubisoft account and it will be attached to your Ubisoft account as well.
I've played a couple of hours so far. It seems to be a complete game thus far. It's a little disingenuous to call it a city builder, and is more of a mix between a RTS and Civilization. I'd say there's enough content in there for the price - it's just a matter of if it's your type of game or not.
More importantly, how much will Cold Steel be? 30-40 with a 10% launch discount? How about some extra discount if you own all the Sky games?
The game was already $40 on both PS3 and Vita more than a year ago so I doubt it'll be any more than $30
I'm thinking it'll be $30 with all DLC included and a 10% launch discount
I hope they say something more concrete about when CS2 is launching after they release it
Thanks to lashman I saw this tweet.
Do you have any idea about that Durante?
Also, wish gaf could embed tweets...
I was clicking through my discovery queue and Steam finally suggested something really good.
Released today with -15% discount.
I really enjoyed Ticket to Earth on iOS earlier this year. However, because only episode 1 is released (with 3 more episodes to be released as free updates) the game does feel unfinished. I recommend adding this to your wishlist until at least another episode is released. But then certainly give the game a look. (Or grab the game on iOS where its half the price...)
Already announced as Nights of Azure 2, coming October 24thThanks to lashman I saw this tweet.

Tried to play 3 matches in Lawbreakers beta, all 3 matches was with weird connection issues, teleports all over the place and ended with "lost connection to host" messages. I don't know how the hell they managed to broke netcode so much, i played previous beta and alpha and everything was fine, now game is unplayable for me. I was thinking about buying it at launch, but now i completely lost my interest, such a shame.
There's nothing quite like it (except for the boardgame version). Looking forward to their new game.
It's probably a server load issue, isn't this more of a stress test beta going on? Regardless, I'll probably wait until after it comes out to buy it if I do, see a bit better how it plays.
Yea, It gets very emotional. When they get depressed and talk to each other "We can do it" and etc. With that fitting nice background music i often caught myself thinking "Don't give up" lol

I'd recommend Drakensang 2 (River of Time) plus its expansion (Phileasson's Secret), but not Drakensang 1. D2 is a lot more interesting to actually play.
So, Drakensang 2 is a good, Neverwinter Nights-style game. The developer went bankrupt after RoT, IIRC, but you can tell they put their heart into it. Anyways, Drakensang is a real-time with pause, party-based RPGs set in the Dark Eye universe. They're not as polished as Neverwinter Nights, but much more ambitious overall. (However, Drakensang's writing is pretty average-to-forgettable.) I will add that I've never finished RoT, but it's something I've always meant to do; it's an easily-overlooked gem-in-the-rough, and a huge improvement over the mediocre Drakensang 1.
Also, protip: if you have trouble launching the game, download RoT completely first, and only afterwards download the expansion, Phileasson's Secret. I had issues launching the game before I figured out it was a file conflict caused by downloading both at the same time; it's the only game on Steam to ever give me this problem.

Here's what I currently have in my cart. Any suggestions, similar games I might have missed? I love action and RPG games, and only play with a 360 controller (although I have a steam controller en route).
Edit: Speaking of that Steam Controller, how long can I expect to wait? I ordered it on the 23rd but tracking still just says the label was created.

Do you own Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen? Dust: An Elysian Tale might be something for you, too. If you don't have a problem with Early Access and rogue-lites, I can recommend Dead Cells. Don't know if the deals on WinGameStore and Bundlestars are still going. Oh, and can't go wrong with the Ys games.
Don't know how it plays with a Steam Controller but I found the controller support for Grim Dawn subpar.

Yeaaaaaaaaahhh.......
I actually already own all three of those games! Which means you did a good job inferring my taste from what's in my cart, haha. Dead Cells is really fun, I didn't think I was going to like it at first (I'm not crazy about roguelikes although i did like Rogue Legacy a lot).
Aw, don't tell me that about Grim Dawn! Is it really bad, like unplayable?

I'm so sad that Bethesda just let this die. Their new review embargo policy is bullshit.
Oh and I was getting drops down to 45 on ultra with a 1070. Would that be the most graphically intensive area of the game? Seems like it.

I think I know which one you're talking about, but I felt like the one Crimson was talking about is better.
It's not unplayable but as someone who loves Diablo 3 on consoles it was disappointing and uncomfortable. Might be better now. Been a few months since I last played it.

I know, read reviews but I did get lords of shadow 1 as well if that means anything 😂
D3 had way too many corners filed off for me to enjoy it. Grim Dawn is great if you're looking for a modern D2 kind of a deal.
Wouldn't recommend a controller though.
jshackles
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.
It means you should play Lords of Shadow first

Just got an email from GMG with a code that is good for 25% off PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS for three people.
Hit me up via PM if you want in.

Ugh y'all are making me second guess myself. Keyboard and mouse just isn't an option, I don't have a desk. I wish there was a demo. Have you tried playing Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun with a controller? Is it worse than that?
