Waiting one or 2 more cycles on nonary games bundle, waiting a cycle on superhot. Maybe ff stuff too.
It's too late now but I've played a couple of games, none to completion. The reason being is I have very little idea of what Im doing and whilst I seem to have enough of a grasp of avoiding most pitfalls I am failing at one (losing influence) but there is no advice/tutorial or anything like that, that helps. There is a tutorial but it's basic and meh. I don't mind that at times, but I literally had to punch buttons until I found what I wanted, and it's very like Civ 5 but I think Civ does it better. The excitement of finding new worlds and new things feels minor, like ultimately it's not going to help me. I won't say I dislike the game, I actually do. But the extremely steep learning curve sucks the fun out of it. It's unlike the Witcher (for instance) which also has a steep curve, because you can go into a completely new game, try something totally different and end with the same product, which to me sucks a bit.In post 96, Errantparabola wrote:please let me know how this game is.

Some of the recent reviews are mentioning that it has spyware (Red Shell) bundled in.In post 129, Shadoweh wrote:https://www.humblebundle.com/monthly
So I've been holding off on buying Civ 6 because it's pretty expensive.. twelve dollars sounds like a good price?!

battleblock and DD were already towards the top of my shortlist, broforce i have, guacamelee looks rlycool, l4d2 is kind of eh for me, pony island i already watched a playthrough, undertale i refuse to play on principle of it being too popular, will check out monaco and rogue legacyIn post 136, McMenno wrote:battleblock theater: wacky platformer
broforce: run-and-gun platformer, extremely over the top. you can shoot terrorists, aliens and satan himself
darkest dungeon: roguelike dying simulator
guacamelee: metroidvania where you play as a wrestler
left 4 dead 2: zombies
monaco: stealth/heist game. has co-op too
pony island: horror game, pretty short though
rogue legacy: roguelike action platformer, though you keep upgrading your dudes
undertale: you know what undertale is, right?
i def have some blindspots in my libraryIn post 137, mykonian wrote:There's always the danger with this that you name good games everybody already knows about and owns (say FTL), but say I don't care about that, given that I'd usually put Portal 2 in that category too:
Sacrifice is an old game. Good story, good replayability, good voice acting. Graphics did not age well, gameplay has its moments. Would recommend it to everybody. €5
Psychonauts is a slightly younger title, cute 3d platformer, nice level design, probably a modern classic? €1.50
Bastion, talking about modern classics, is a top down 2d hack and slash game with an awesome narrator and ambiance, goes for €3.75
Braid, 2d platformer-time manipulation puzzler, with a nice story. €4.50
Spacechem, one of Zachtronics many games, all in the same genre (and I don't know which is best rated, so maybe have a look), programming style puzzles, this time with machines that make molecules. Loved it: €2.50
Spec Ops: The Line. It plays like any other FPS, but it's not like them. I'm not a FPS player myself, but this campaign blew me away. Properly daring, properly awesome. Like sacrifice, it got great reviews and less great sales numbers. €4

Age of Empires II HD Edition - wololo
Her Story - what you get if you took a criminal investigation and turned it into a jigsaw puzzle
Papers, Please - legit bureaucracy/paperwork simulator
Technobabylon - gorgeous cyberpunk pixelated adventure game
To the Moon - tissues strongly recommended

Poly Bridge is a very relaxing game about building bridges 5$
Tissues were needed, I have to admit. But thank you so much for recommending this, I would never have played it without you.In post 139, Equinox wrote:To the Moon - tissues strongly recommended
