Gold-Plated Games

Never fear, deal hunters! There are indeed Weeklong Deals to be had today, Valve is just having another one of their couldn’t-be-bothered-to-tell-anyone days. I’ve always found it odd that there’s no permanent link to the Weeklongs anywhere on the store, since they’re always there. Let’s just add that to the long list off issues Valve will surely fix abouahahahahahahaha sorry I almost got through that bit

 

Hilariously good

Painkiller: Black Edition (Review) – Boy it sure is a good thing that the only version of Painkiller on Steam is the good one!

Virginia (Review) – A thoughtful exploration of human relationships that was perhaps sold as something very different

Blood and Bacon (Review) – Hilariously dumb arena shooters are still hilarious, y’know

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

Zombie Driver HD (Review) – More dumb gory fun, this time from a top-down classic GTA perspective

Hero of the Kingdom II (Review) – The current peak of the chill trading adventure genre

Nosferatu: The Wrath of Malachi (review) – Janky old FPS with really neat horror and roguelike elements

Gun Metal (Review) – Decent little third person giant robot shooter

Haque (Review) – A simple classic roguelike with a solid presentation

Teleglitch (Review) – Still one of my favorite survival horror roguelikes

DevWill (Review) – Neat little retro-styled platformer

Mutant Mudds Deluxe (Review) – Simple but solid retro platformer

The Balcony (Review) – Goofy physics fun that can be quite challenging

Blackbay Asylum (review) – Feels like trashy horror but actually has some solid mechanics

 

Laughably bad

The Inner Darkness (Review) – Pale attempt at a psychological horror platformer

Until I Have You (Review) – Terribly disappointing action platformer

Ultionus: A Tale of Petty Revenge (Review) – Nnnnnnnnnope

Nikopol: Secrets of the Immortals (Review) – Just read the comic

Hack, Slash, Loot (review) – A roguelike with no mechanics to master, awesome

Mover (Review) – Move a triangle around 10 sparse levels, ok

INFERNIUM (Review) – Open-world survival horror Pac-Man, but bad
