Current Humble Bundle has Westerado: Double Barreled for $1. Take a look and grab it if what you see looks interesting - it's good.
Wow, this looks cool! Why have I never heard of it? Should I buy it?

That reminds me, I saw some kinda isometric game on Steam a few days ago, and wanted to ask Codex if it's good.
Now I can't find it.

I played it briefly back when it was new.
The game world is divided into screens, and you must kill all the enemies on each screen using a combat system more resembling a beat-em'up than any RPG. Jumping, combo attacks, etc. The story, setting and characters are all standard-fare jRPG material, though.
I briefly recall there being a "bizarre camera angle" thing with this game, but I could be wrong.
Personally I'm not very interested in revisiting the game, but for interested people I'd say $5 is just the right price to ask for this game.

I think it was one of the two "JRPGs" (it's not an actual JRPG, but developed by an UK studio in the style: http://www.spiralhouse.co.uk/games.html ) that I actually liked back in the day on PC, there was Silver and Septerra Core and the latter gets really grindy and retarded in the end so I never finished it.
If the port is good it should be worth it:

Looks like HOMM, but with only the battle layer. The first game doesn't seem to be too well received on Steam. Only costs one dorra though.

GOG has added 40 games to GOG Connect.
Nothing serious though, just a bone before the sale.

Bought it on sale a while back and was p disappointed tbh. Was expecting a stylish Metroidvania but it's simply a boring platformer where all levels look exactly the same and you have an "in-your-face" quest compass telling you where to go all the time.
Kinda reminded me of a Korean mobile game called Star Knight which has a similar aesthetic and gameplay but much more engaging combat with a p steep but still fair difficulty curve. I'd recommend this in place of Outland.
Looks like Payday 2 is free for however long:

Silver is very much a product of it's age. It was good fun and looked fantastic when it was new, but the nowadays it would take a fair bit of effort to get used to the gameplay and graphics, and it doesn't really have any exceptional qualities to justify that effort.
(also, I feel old ad fuck, I bought Silver boxed in 1999)

Lol, it was on sale for all of May and until like 3 days ago... so many negative reviews from the people who bought it then.
BTW the game has a fuckton of DLCs but none of them seem installable (or even purchasable) with the free version, not sure if working as intended or what's the deal.
EDIT: Oh so the big discount (85%) was for all the DLCs, which can now no longer be purchased separately;
