Thanks to this site, I've discovered a lot of games from giveaways which I've added to my Steam wishlist.

So in this thread please post some interesting looking and possibly not-so-well-known games from your own wishlist that you think others should take a look at. Try to pick games you rarely see given away on here! I know many of you may have hundreds of games on your wishlist, so let's set a limit and say you can recommend up to 5 games from your wishlist. Please link to the Steam store page to make it easy for everyone to browse :-)

They can be regular games, early access, not yet released etc. As long as there's a steam page to add it to your wishlist. I figure it's a good way to discover some new games that maybe some people weren't aware of.

So, here are 5 from my wishlist:

Vagante
Nice looking pixel-graphic rogue-like (with co-op too!).

Darkwood
Still in Early Access, but looks very decent. Procedurally generated, top-down RPG horror.

RUINER
A kind of futurisitc, cyperpunk Hotline Miami vibe going on here. Devolver Digital released a new trailer on youtube, but it's not on the Steam page yet for some reason.

Midnight Animal
A standalone mod of Hotline Miami, approved by the devs. Not released until August, but it'll be free to play!

Jotun
A beautiful looking adventure based on Norse mythology.


GIVEAWAYS!

Finally, not a requirement just an idea if you're feeling generous, post a giveaway to a game that was on your wishlist, but you now own!

Here's a giveaway for Feist which was on my wishlist until recently. So far it's very beautiful and reminds me a lot of LIMBO. It appears to be quite short, but enjoyable :-) The giveaway runs for a week. I might add a few more giveaways during the week :-)

One more giveaway, not from my wishlist, but still has good reviews. Fallen Enchantress - Legendary Heroes.

Zoey1 is kindly giving away DISTRAINT. Cheers, Zoey!

Iracional88 kindly adds To The Moon. Cheers!

IovoI, our owl faced friend, kindly adds Risen. Thanks!

small update...
Thanks for all the great suggestions so far. I'm glad to see that many of you are also expanding your wishlist because of this thread!
Here's a few extra giveaways:

No Pineapple Left Behind
Town Craft
Julai

Fishworm has kindly added a giveaway for This War of Mine. Cheers, fishworm!

Bastirei kindly invites you to his Home, just remember to bring some drinks with you. Cheers, bastirei!

helldivers is awesome, unfortunately solo is pretty boring since there's no class synergy and you have to do everything.

Tabletop Simulator is amazing, I highly recommend it! It's great with friends, but you can play with randoms too. Pretty much any board/card game ever has been ported to it. I even made a handful of mods/games for it :)

And I'll cheat a little bit more by adding one more game. :P I didn't mention it because it's a very recent release, and IMO it didn't entirely fit with the ones that have been around for a while but still had few GAs. Who knows, maybe this one will have a massive amount when it gets on a bigger sale.

Sunless Sea is hugely atmospheric. It has more Gothic horror than it knows what to do with.

It felt a bit unfinished to me, though (at least when I played it some months back).

I've put a lot of hours in to Sunless Sea. It's nicely done, but quite time consuming to make any progress.

I often add upcoming releases that catch my eye to my wishlist. Here are a few that look interesting to me:
Rise & Shine
Death's Gambit
DESYNC
InnerSpace
Inversus
Metrico+

Awesome, I'm glad to see Death's Gambit is finally listed. I remember seeing the animated gifs of a side-scrolling pixel graphic "Shadow of the Colossus" last year - I couldn't actually remember the name but thanks for the reminder, it's now on my wishlist too!

Thinking of it as "Shadow of the Colossus" come again makes me more excited about it. I wish they'd remake that game. It was a thing of beauty (and DG looks to be one also).

Comment has been collapsed.

Yes I agree. Shadow of the Colossus was one of my favorite games on PS2/3, I'd love an updated remake for PC or PS4. Bit I doubt that will ever happen. At least we might get The Last Guardian someday, right :-)

CrossCode

It's a really great looking JRPG, that reminds me maybe of a cross between Final Fantasy 6 and Zelda :D
Very beautiful artwork, and interesting gameplay.
The developers are very active on the Steam hub and on their own website, and you can see what they're working on and they take time to discuss with everyone.
Pretty interesting story about an online game, but the game takes place on a real planet, and when you play, your mind links up to control a physical avatar (android?) that runs around in real environments on the real planet.

Possibly the best thing about it? It's NOT made with RPG Maker!!!!!!! hooray! :D <3

The sad thing about CrossCode is that the giveaways for it don't happen that often because it got bundled early. I REALLY hope going with a bundle-eager publisher isn't going to bite the devs in the ass later, because I had the game high in my wishlist.

It got bundled? I kinda hadn't been on Steam for a number of months over winter. I must have missed that one, damn x_x

Shadow Warrior was good, so #2 will probably be too; I haven't finished Dead Island and just got Riptide; and I need to get/play Goodbye Deponia before Doomsday. But those all would be great too :) (especially love Deponia)

My wishlist is kinda big so let's see

  • Pit People - I've enjoyed previous Behemoth games so I'm looking forward to this one
  • AVGN Adventures - I like the show and I like platformers :)
  • Mighty No. 9 - I hope this turns out good
  • Please Don't Touch Anything - Reminds me of Papers, Please, which I love
  • D4 - I'm currently playing Deadly Premonition and really enjoying it, this is the same studio behind it :D

More titles if you want to check them out

Pit People looks fun - I also liked their other games.

D4 is good! It's like having control over the worst actor in a cheesy TV detective show. Love it.

Are you playing it on the PS3?
I heard there is some mod that can fix the problem but im too lazy to understand how they work

I'm playing on PC.
I found the DSfix mod which lets you change resolution and overall adds graphic options.

8 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

Yes! That's the mod I'm talking about!
Should I go through with it and play it? Is the story good enough?

8 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

I'm really enjoying it, so I think so.
You may encounter some problems with the port:

  • Aiming bug: you can't aim and move the camera so you can't aim high or low places, this should be fixed by alt-tabbing the game and coming back (this doesn't work with the DSfix thought, since alt-tabbing gives you a black screen)
  • Some people say that some game crashes can be fixed by starting the game in compatibility mode (windows 98) but this causes the framerate ingame to drop the more you play, so bear that in mind.

Remember to save often, you never know when the game could crash :P
