What have you bought so far?

It's a "Ubigame". It follows the same basics as Assassin's Creed, that car MMO-ish game, Far Cry 3 & 4. Climb towers to unlock more of the map, gather inconsequential pickups, and traverse an open world. I thought the hacking was neat, but underdeveloped, the actual main storyline quests were for the most part kinda good, but the open world was underdeveloped (and if the police ever started chasing you, all you had to do was head out in a boat and they would not be able to follow you, which was strange because the police had access to helicopters and the AI was able to handle boats). Sprinkle in a liberal amount of bugs (would not be a modern Ubisoft game without at least you falling through the ground 3 times during the course of playing through the main campaign). Overall, it's an alright game, but it did not dare to commit to its ideas, which I guess in part was due to them trying to stay close to the style of games that Ubisoft have been producing as of late, the open world games where the open world is really just there for flavour and for collecting collectibles.

They way they implemented multiplayer was neat though, and fit in well with the world. The game had an "invasion" system, like Dark Souls, where other players could invade your game (you had to accept it though, so it was not as bad). When a player invaded you, they would be somewhere nearby, and your goal would be to find them before they had the chance to steal some data from you. The hide & seek actually worked quite well with the tools the game gave you. If they were able to get the data, you would get the chance to chase them down to make sure that they would not get away with it. It fit within the context of the game, and the cat & mouse thing was surprisingly tense.

From what I've seen, it hasn't been taken too well. They completely under budgeted the game, not appreciating the expenses required to develop a truly 3D platform compared to their old screen-scroll type games. Even though the game has left early access, it's still considered, even by the developers, to be severely incomplete.

Transistor and Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons are both amazing games. Not very long though but in my opinion very much worth it. 80% off Transistor is very good

Yeah it's very short, and you need a controller. But it is a VERY good game and certainly worth the experience. TotalbIscuits game of the year. It is unique and very clever

Brothers was almost exactly 3h for me. 3h well spent though, the game was quite good. I don't agree with TB about it being the best game of the year 2013, but at its current price, you will get more than your moneys worth out of it.

If you liked Bastion, I don't think you can go wrong with Transistor!
Brothers looks real nice too, it's cheaper than a drink one would order in a restaurant. :)
Trine 3 is a good buy if you're a big fan of the series. The recent 3d changes have taken it's toll, a bit of a dissapointment since the quality and playability have gone down, but I have hopes for the future and the devs.

I could get 6 copies of Brothers at its current price for a single drink at a bar or restaurant. Guess prices here are a bit bad for such things though :(

Arx Fatalis for £0.74 and that's it so far. Saw it being given away by someone on here, checked out it's trailer, Steam store page and reviews + some let's play footage on youtube. At such a cheap price I thought it looked like a real bargain.

You can "pre-load" several spells before combat.

You'll thank me for that bit of info when you get around to playing the game ;)

For myself:

Life is Strange complete season (not a very big discount, but I regret nothing)
Saint's Row IV Game of the Century upgrade pack (finally a decent price for all the extra cosmetic stuff, and I had an itch to replay the game anyway...)
Saints Row Gat out of Hell

For gifting purposes others:

Ikaruga (for Dsc's challenge)

And some stuff where I'm not sure wether I'll gift them or keep them for myself. Not listing those here, cause if I'm going to gift them I want to keep a surprise.

All in all, did spend more than I expected, but I'm still under the budget I set for myself.
