Distant Worlds is finally on steam, do yourself a favor and grab it http://store.steampowered.com/app/261470/ (all-included package)

They really should've went with individual purchases. I'm not sure how many people are willing to put down ~50€ for what at first glance seems like just another indie game. Hell, it's relatively pricey no matter what it is and especially when you can buy dozen games on Steam for the same amount.

On the other hand, a big huge game with a load of content may interest people more than a bunch of smaller games. I don't think it's the sort of game intended for people that base their purchases on first glances, anyway.

If you want to experience the glorious Deus Ex The Fall firsthand instead of settling for my review, it's $3 on Amazon right now. Steam code.

Well, vanilla distant worlds is kind of meh, but expansions provided much needed depth and vastly improved some annoying aspects of it. Also it was much more pricey (like 30€ per expansion) when the only place you could buy it was that horrendous Matrix Games site.

I agree though, their pricing policy is baffling, but in the long run it's still worth it, game's really good.

Has a peak of 650 people playing it at the same time in Steam.

Where do you see those stats? I was looking for gameplay figures on a certain game the other day and I could only find the top 20 games' stats.

Meh, nothing worthwhile atm. Skip.

Well, there's Obscure, which looks like "The Scooby-doo gang meets Resident Evil".

Trivia

In the German version, the name "Wickson" was changed into "Wilson". The reason is probably that the name sounds similar to "wichsen" (a German expression for wanking).

oh, and the sequel is also available.

I rented this game on ps2 once, it might have been the dumbest horror game I've ever played. So of course I had to buy it on steam.

The Sequel to 'Never heard of it: give back the 90's edition' comes in at full force. I now know 47,000 different ways to say dude.

oh and it tells you to kill yourself before you've saved so 10/10
