But yeah, I spent like 300$ on games during some post-breakup binge spending, back in December-January, now I've got like 20 games I haven't even started, hoping some of these backlog events can help me along. I feel you there. I haven't done any backlog events but I've considered it to help motivate me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's one starting in a week which you can enter any game with <33% completion into, might be up your alley if you're planning on starting a bunch of new games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acasser Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 So many things I'm tempted to buy. And with COVID having emptied most of my backlog over the past year (with RPG Mania 2020 lending a helping hand), maybe it's time to spend some money and re-fill the ting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly the kind of response I was looking for. ? I’ve only played & purchased a few games from this list and they were all fantastic. And out of all the “must-plays” that you highlighted, The Witness is the only one I’ve played. So I’ve got a lot of games to research! Also, I grabbed Limbo quite awhile ago and still haven’t gotten around to playing it yet (soon, I promise. Soon!). But I just noticed recently that Inside was free as of a few days ago, so I picked it up and downloaded it. I was planning on playing it very soon. It might still be free for anyone else looking to grab it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadlyPerfume Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 The last thing I need is more games in my backlog, but I'll make an exception for items on my wishlist that are less than $10: - Enigmatis Collection - Scarlett Mysteries: The Cursed Child - Through the Woods - The Last Dead End Also getting Neverwinter Nights Enhanced Edition, this is the first time I've seen it on sale and I'm planning it for my 100th milestone. It has a lot of flaws, but it was my favorite PC game as a kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem mate - I hesitate to call out any of the highlighted ones as being 'the most' worth researching, though I will just point out that, of all those games Dandara seems to be a game that gets most often overlooked, and is just excellent.... ....and as I sit typing this, I realise I am, in fact, wearing a Return of the Obra Dinn T-Shirt, for whatever that is worth!... ?

DarthPunisher Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 (edited) I’ve only ever heard good things about Oxenfree so I’m definitely going to get it since it’s dirt cheap. I’m tempted to get King’s Quest too. I played some of those games on my computer when I was a kid and it looks like it is fun and would bring back some memories for me!

Oxenfree is a great experience. It is engaging, story-wise. You have to finish the story three times to earn the platinum trophy. Each playthrough will last three hours or so. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blood_Hungry_III Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 I ended up picking up Kentucky Route Zero, Oxenfree, and Soma. I've had my eye on all three for a while so I'm excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkshepherd Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Damn this sale is wonderful! In my ongoing quest to only buy 20 games this year, i am now on 8. Yeppp i just got The Outer Wilds. Critically acclaimed almost across the board, loads of people love it, its time to give it a bash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cassylvania Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 I got the goose game. HONK. Would strongly recommend A Plague Tale, Return of the Obra Dinn, and Iconoclasts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ_Radio Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Only indie game I’ve bought recently was Streets of Rage 4. I haven’t bought another since I purchased Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime back in November. Lots of good indies here but my backlog would be set back by a good 20 - 30 games if I were to buy everything I had an interest in on this list. For now, great sale, but money is short for me so I will have to skip this selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xDevilizer Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Was debating between commandos 2 ($19.99) and Shadow Tactics ($29.99), and the second title came on sale for $4.99, so no brainer here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know how it plays? I loved it myself - but indeed some of the trophies are VERY challenging. Not for completists unless you're... very good?

So lay it on me, what are some of the hidden gems here? ? So, so many... Beyond games I would simply recommend, ones that I rank very high and include something unique either in art style or gameplay would suggest to pretty much everyone include: Spoiler Arise Axiom Verge Bad North Banner Saga Creature in the Well Crossing Souls Cuphead Dandara Dead Cells Donut County Enter the Gungeon FAR: Lone Sails Figment Flipping Death Get Even God's Trigger Gris Guacamelee Hand of Fate Just Shapes & Beats Knights and Bikes Limbo & Inside bundle Little Nightmares Ovivo Oxenfree Pinstripe Projection: First Light Return of the Obra Dinn Sea of Solitude Seasons After Fall Slay the Spire Slime-san Soma Steamworld Heist The Messenger Thomas was Alone Through the Woods Untitled Goose Game Zombie Vikings Of those, I'll pick 10 (it was HARD) and briefly say why: Blackwood Crossing (made me cry) Hollow Knight (masterful universe building) Hyper Light Drifter (disasterpeace music, challenging) Iconoclasts (deep story) Inside (art and atmosphere) Journey (art and atmosphere) Kentucky Route Zero (successful at being Lynchian) Night in the Woods (hipster in all the right ways) Observation (atmosphere) Sayonara Wild Hearts (music and art) I'm at 30 games bought (for a surprisingly low amount), and still a crazy long list to go through and weigh...
