Which games are keeping you company this weekend?



That was a pretty huge Summer Sale, guys! With free games being given out left and right, and hundreds of deals up for grabs, everybody emerged with well-stocked libraries, big smiles, and pleasant dilemmas.

Like: shall I play the magnificent Spelunky that I got for free or should I begin my fourth playthrough of VtM: Bloodlines now that I got it DRM-free? Is it finally time to cash in my accumulated 2-month work leave and tackle The Witcher 3 + Expansions? Perhaps I should go for a quick Shadowrun instead, see where that takes me.

So many questions. But your answers are all that matter!
Will you be playing any of the game(s) you snagged during the Summer Sale? Or are you saving your backlog for a rainy day?

Go on, share your Weekend Playlists with us. They can include single-player games, multiplayer games, console exclusives, anything - we are not judging. In fact, we are sharing too!



Looking for some additional inspiration? The GOG.com releases of the week provide plenty:

- You can search for the remains of your pre-apocalyptic life in <span class="bold">Deadlight: Director's Cut</span>.
- You can mix drinks and stories as you tend to the troubled patrons of <span class="bold">VA-11 Hall-A</span>.
- You can arm yourself with both Artbook and Soundtrack and dive right back into the lovely world of <span class="bold">Stories: The Path of Destinies</span>.
- You can try to reconcile red robots with hairy monsters while platforming <span class="bold">On Rusty Trails</span>.
- You can cut your shape into the fabric of the Old West with your trusty <span class="bold">GUN&trade;</span>.
- You can expand your Solar Empire by looking for new opportunities in the <span class="bold">Outlaw Sectors</span>.
- You can protect and nurture <span class="bold">The Little Ones</span> amidst the brutality of war.
- You and your friend can praise a common god for the good of the community in <span class="bold">Thea: The Awakening</span>.
- You can return to the simulated halls of <span class="bold">MechoEcho</span> and wrestle with the free 10-level-long campaign.

I played the Penumbra games that I bought in Summer Sale. Finished Black Plague yesterday and Requiem today. Now I'll try the two Amnesia mods that carry on the history, Necrologue and Twilight of the Archaic. Let's see if they give a better satisfying ending to the adventure...

Exams are over, so I will spend my Sunday afternoon with probably nothing except The Witcher 3, which I finally bought in the Summer sale. Not that the exams really stopped me from already playing for 30 hours. And I'm still stuck up deep in in the Velen swamps.

Costume Quest.

But I got it in a Humble Bundle, I don't have it here on GoG. I wish GoG would do a GoG Connect link to the Humble Library, as they used to sell DRM-less games in the past, so I suppose they have a sizeable intersection with GoG's customers. GoG Connect is currently useless to me, as I don't even have a Steam account.

I've been rocking some Sid Meier's Covert Action over the last couple weeks. Got it (And Pirates!) in the Summer Sale after knowing about it for years thanks to an old Let's Play of it (Specifically, Frankomatic's Obscure Game Theater), and I'm enjoying it just as much as I thought I would. Still playing it on the easiest difficulty, though if I ever decide to stream it, I may bump it up a difficulty.

Amazing headsup on that one, man. Thank you, I mean it!

Adaliabooks' assessment is very accurate (and really good, I might add), but may I offer a different perspective? Yes, it is all those things; it is definitely a brutal rogue-like. The drop rate--for ammo, especially--can sometimes be frustrating, but I like that it is unforgiving. It forces you to really plan what keep or leave, when to push on, which skills to concentrate on when allocating skill points, etc. I like to play it so that one game I play through as a fighter, computer hacker character (all my points into melee and computer and electronics skills), that sort of thing. The crafting element is fun, but I recommend looking up recipes online, so that you know what items to keep and get rid of (crafting better food is helpful to keep your HP up). Also, the world of SotS is compelling, so I recommend giving it a go. Just my two cents. Enjoy!

This weekend... a classic RPG, like D&D classic (Eye of the Beholder, I think) or maybe Darkstone, and for action, working my way through the original Borderlands (hey, GoG! Get this one and I'll buy it again from you!)

Zarfdog: SotS fundamentals
DAMN.
Exactly what a I needed to know. Heard a lot about the "brutal factor" on this one which, personally, I'd say it's a defining deal.
I mean, the overall thing with the game gotta be sustainable, in the most tough way possible. Allocating resources and whatnot and planning ahead gotta be something rewarding to master.
Glad to hear both of your comments on this one; been playing some (even though great!) "lite" games such as Simon the Sorcerer and that inner voice that says "pile up, problems, my energy is limited but my will is infinite!" has been calling a lot, lately! :D

Gotta get the dust out of this gem and enjoy it properly; should I add that challenging is probably the most accurate term which defines SotS as *almost* a whole? ;)
Thank y'all!

Finished FFX, but can't get Cry of Fear or Afraid of Monsters to run without crashing on startup.

In that awkward impasse between games.

I'm becoming a better wizard in Sacrifice, I'm up to mission 5 with the god James.

Some of the keys to successful wizarding are scouting, picking high ground to sit your wizard on and adapting your troops to attack the opposite type enemies. If you want to know.

For example if your fighting the god of death Charnel, he uses a lot of vicious ground melee troops that are really scary to try and face. Having a team of flyers that are strong agains't melee troops will take them out.

Time to go back to the war of the gods in Sacrifice. It's a little bit stressful, but I have to keep cool.

Ah, glad to see it's going well. I actually reinstalled it after our previous exchange, but it took so much fiddling to make it work properly that I had very little energy left to actually play the game (for fellow WINE users, use a clean prefix / remove the overrides). I did a couple of Pyro missions (I never liked Pyro, so ~15 years ago I never even tried), it was manageable, even though the game is both more difficult and more complex than what I remember.
