Gold-Plated Games

Here’s another big week of Weeklong Deals, packed full of junk dotted with some titles you really, really should not miss out on. Call of Juarez: Gunslinger, Cogmind, Odallus, and Daily Chthonicle are all must-haves for fans of their respective genres, if you ask me. Which you did, because you’re here perusing my weekly list!

 

It’s for the best

Call of Juarez: Gunslinger (Review) – Very solid Wild West shootin’ with a fantastic story woven through

Shadowrun Returns (review) – More of a proof of concept for the ones that came later, but still good

Cogmind (Review) – Fantastic and creative classic-style roguelike where you customize a mech as you go

How to Survive (review) – Decent little ARPG-style zombie survival romp

A Story About My Uncle (review) – First-person adventure about grapple-hooking through fantastic worlds

Shadowgate (Review) – A fine revival of the venerable point-and-click murderfest

Majesty Gold HD (Review) – Older but quality hands-off kingdom simulator

Odallus: The Dark Call (Review) – Seriously one of the best retro platformers on Steam

Ghost Master (review) – An older puzzley haunting sim

Super Motherload (Review) – Quality remake of the classic sci-fi digger

FreeCell Quest (Review) – All the solitaire action you could ever want, wrapped in a thin RPG layer

Shotgun Legend (Review) – Neat send-up of the classic Zelda formula

Daily Chthonicle: Editor’s Edition (Review) – Very cool horror management sim

 

It’s definitely worse

Gray Dawn (Review) – Looks amazing, but the story is an absolute catastrophe

Left in the Dark: No One on Board (Review) – One of the rare bad HOGs from Artifex Mundi

Diamo XL (Review) – Neat idea for a score attack game, just not that fun in practice

Crab Dub (Review) – FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Rebons (Review) – Boring, ugly challenge platformer

Chaos Domain (Review) – Impressively bad side-scrolling shooter
