Stars are rising, prices are dropping! Up to 80% off Risen 3, Metro: Last Light Redux, Sacred 2, and more!



Falling stars have been associated with supernatural occurrences and have caused many a spiritual pondering since the dawn of time. Do they bring luck? Are they omens of terrible catastrophes? Is God just bored, throwing pebbles at the big ponds we call oceans? It's hard to tell. <span class="bold">Risen Stars</span>, however, have a much simpler connotation: they bring great discounts to all Atari and Deep Silver titles on our catalogue! Catching them before they disappear in the sky may not score you that coveted promotion or a lottery win but we promise it will keep you entertained for a loooong time!

Your soul has been stolen by an evil Shadow Lord and now you must rise and fight to reclaim it. Roam a land ravaged by the Titans, align yourself with one of three factions, collect loot, and wield powerful magic in the vast world of Risen 3.

Caught between warring groups of survivors, the looming presence of extraterrestrial visitors, and the savage mutants, Artyom must scour the metro tunnels of post-apocalyptic Moscow and become his people's Last Light in this chilling survival FPS.

He is Riddickulously cool. He is Riddickulously deadly. He has a Riddickulous plan: to escape Dark Athena unscathed. Not happening. Lucky for us, since that means we can now tag along as he slices, dices, blasts, and sneaks past everyone in his way. A movie-inspired FPS done right? You better believe it.



Need any help counting all the <span class="bold">Risen Stars</span>? There are more than 20 in here and among them Saints Row: The Third, Alone in the Dark, Sacred 2, Rollercoaster Tycoon and many more. Just look how bright they shine! The promo will last until February 23, 7:59 AM GMT.

Does the Metro games work on a Radeon R7 250 graphic card with 1 GB GDDR5 memory?

Random_Coffee: I honestly find the Metro-games very overrated. I pushed myself through 2033, never finished Last Light. I know a lot of other people love those games though, maybe my taste in gaming is just weird :P

I'm considering grabbing the first Risen. Is it good?
No, your not alone. I find the metro games extremely linear, with very little to recommend them. Its a bit like an on the rails STALKER.

The first Risen is pretty good, its not easy, and if you have problems with your character getting stuck in scenery when they mantle remember this tip (which saved the game for me as was about to drop it):
Goto nvidia control panel, select the game in the list and force vsync on

Metro IS linear, very linear. It's the atmosphere that sells it.

Uh, would anyone recommend Risen 2 and 3? I kinda heard those were not good which is why I ask.

Your card specs are between the minimum and recommended specifications for this game.

You will need to install nvidia phsyx which will tax your cpu a bit more then usual but shouldnt make much problems.
Here you have Metro 2033 Redux running on r7 250 and athlon 2 x4 740 (this is at 720p): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vR95RslS9rg

As much as I can see most people recommend 720p resolution and then the game is playable with fps between 40-60fps.

I wouldn't know. Played a few hours of Clear Sky. Stopped as I was bored out of my mind.

Ah yes, don't start with Clear Sky, its the weakest of the three not to mention most bugged. COP first, then the third. Also there are a few good mods out there, some which ramp difficulty up, some which just add some graphics.

HunchBluntley: I haven't played Generals, but since virtually every single review I've ever read of this game (and the TB livestream I watched) likens it to C&C: Generals, I'd say yes. ;) At any rate, it's a very fun game (though the load times are atrocious).
Then it should be similar to Generals. Thanks for the info. :)

I've never played Risen. Honestly it always just looked like a beefed up Gothic to me.

Matruchus: Damn Metro has a really nice discount but still no Linux version. Hm, what to do.
What the go with GOG and no Linux versions of certain games? (assuming they exist in first place...)

I thought Call of Pripyat WAS the third?

That's the one gog gave me for spending money in a sale. :p
Next time the stalker games are on sale I'll give them a try.

Same here. I also got Clear Sky on that sale, tried it out and got bored quickly.

Are the other two Stalker games really that much better?

Yes, a LOT better. I would call Clear Sky a "spin-off". A totally different game, that shares the same universe.
