Lifeless Planet is a cracking indie game. Amazing atmosphere and soundtrack.

Torchlight 2 is a great game, only 3 quid at the moment.

There's always debate whether Ori or Hollow Knight takes the top spot for the superior Metroidvania.

syks · 27 Dec 2017 at 00:19

thanks, think I'm going to get ori

must be worth a go lol it looks great and I LOVE platform games

Vern1961 · 27 Dec 2017 at 02:30

I grabbed Elite Dangerous (£5 compared to £40 on release and up to fairly recently). I also grabbed the Horizons add on but subsequently refunded as it seemed to be causing issues or would not install properly.
WRC 2017, not played yet as I wasn't off ED long enough for it to finish downloading.
Also grabbed Prison Architect though that's probably far down on the list to try.
Now I've got £10 back in my wallet thought I might try Transport Fever, looks quite good also thinking about the latest Football Manager but that's still £28 even with the discount.

Mollari · 27 Dec 2017 at 02:38

Warshift.

Mixture of action and real time strategy, plays well too. Just another jewel I have never heard about.

kinger8938 · 27 Dec 2017 at 08:46

Got a £25 voucher for Game which I will change into Xbox or Steam credit while the sales running but don't really know what to get! Planet coaster looks good, not sure how much I would play! I like the indie style walking Sims etc so may look to some of those

^^ was thinking the same

Might take a punt on Watch Dogs 2, by all accounts it's not too shabby.

i preffered WD1 but lot prefer 2. WD2 feels like the shuan of dead of the Watch dogs series. very silly parody game

Glanza · 27 Dec 2017 at 12:13

Only game I picked up on the sale was AC: Origins due to getting Steam vouchers.

G18241 · 27 Dec 2017 at 13:33

Wasn't bothered about Witcher 1, 2nd one held me a bit longer but ive still never gone back to it to finish...reading reviews on 3 and its apparantly amazing...am i going to get on with it if i didn't particularly with the first 2?

I dont even know what it is about them...whether its the fighting mechanics or what, i just couldn't click with them

The mechanics in Witcher 3 are far better than the first 2. The first 2 games are good, but the play style was hard to get past. 3 is just a brilliant game all round.

Got a £20 steam voucher for xmas and im struggling to find anything that is taking my fancy that's all...but might as well spend it through the sale...will keeps scrolling through and see if anything else grabs me and if not i might just bite the bullet and give it a try

Well I mean if its that bad for you just do a steam refund (think you get 2 hours to try it).
