Gold-Plated Games

There’s not much going on in these Weeklong Deals, which is pretty fair given all that’s going on elsewhere in the world. If you need a break from reality now and then, titles like SYNTHETIK and SUPERHOT will definitely get you that fix, along with some other notable indies. The week’s lineup also reminds me that I need to get back to Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic for a review… it’s a very indie and very technical city-builder, but has a ton of potential if you can get over that learning curve.
