I'm pretty sure I've been playing NetHack for over twenty years on various computer systems for free. With and without tiles addons.

Meh. http://store.steampowered.com/app/322130/
Tried it now on my PC multiple times and on 2 laptops and the fucking thing wont even start. Dunno if I should send an email to Steam to remove non funtional game but it seems there's like 2 people on forums that can play it.
Bought it in a pack a while ago when Disney released it on Steam, but if I cashed out 20 euros on a piece of shit that wont even start I'd be pissed.
Just a reminder if you were planning to get it for your kid or relive your princess dreams, avoid it like the plague.

So Oniken looks okay enough to get for some card-earned-cents, opinions ?
Just bought it. It's no Shovel Knight, but it's fun. Very simple & short though, I played only 30 minutes and reached level 4... and there are only 5 levels.

Level 4 is a nightmare of tight jumps + enemies with projectile weapons + platforms that fall down + bottomless pits. It all depends if you love or hate this type of gameplay.

Also, it's made by HUEHUEs. :3

I am waiting for it to be $9.99. I still have a ton of games to complete. Like chess. It seems like that game goes on forever.

Probably be another year or more on that unless you live in Russia. Unlike that crappy RTS, this one was highly regarded so I think they're intentionally avoided drastic sale prices for now.

Is it worth it for $24? I love turn-based combat, but it sounds like the game is kind of goofy as well as being bug-ridden?

Divinity: Original Sin is the RPG Codex Game of the Year, enough said. It's got one of the better TB combat systems I've ever experienced and I wouldn't say it's bug-ridden, either (there were a few issues at launch which have since been fixed). The tone is often somewhat light-hearted, though - as is the case with other Larian games - so if you're looking for something super serious and grimdark then this isn't it. Otherwise, I'd say it's definitely worth the asking price - personally I got over 100 hours of entertainment out of it.

Divinity: OS is on sale 40% off. That's about the lowest it goes right?
Lowest it has gone. Eventually it'll be cheaper, of course.

It was a very polished game on release. Well, because there is no branching in the quests... Coop this, it's worth it.
