Gold-Plated Games

After a week away (there were deals last week, just not enough to be worth rounding up), we’re back with another smattering of Weeklong Deals! There are no real big banner titles to recommend, but you can’t go wrong with stuff like Hero of the Kingdom II and The Last Door.

This is a pretty special week though, as we’re currently deciding on our first-ever Reader’s Choice review! The nominations are in, so pop over here real quick to vote on which worthy title I’m going to review this month.

Keep an eye out for reviews on Wednesday and Friday this week, and don’t forget to tune in to our streams to see what we’re doing in the wake of Spooktober. Tonight at 9pm PST we’ll be starting our foray into HITMAN (2016), and then on Wednesday we’ll look at the first two games slated for this year’s Roguemas festivities!

The Last Door: Season 2 (Review) – The back half of one of the best cosmic horror adventures on Steam

9 Clues: The Secret of Serpent Creek (Review) – Wonderfully cheesy hidden object adventure

COLD FISH

Bloody Trapland 2: Curiosity (Review) – A challenge platformer that runs and controls like garbage, not a winning combination

Chaos Domain (Review) – Worst platformer of all time? COULD BE
