Gold-Plated Games

Spooktober is no more! The first of the wild, cold-weather Steam sales is done, giving way to yet another bounty of Weeklong Deals. And boy oh boy, lemme tell ya, if you’re in the market for porn, this is your week!

If Valve keeps this up, I may have to expand my purview…

Sure

Stronghold HD (Review) – The timeless castle-management sim

Stronghold Crusader HD (Review) – The more mature, crusadery brother of the series

Hidden Through Time (Review) – Charming little hidden people game that lets you make your own puzzles

Refunct (Review) – Lovely little first-person platformer

Nekour – Short, sweet cat-person platforming

Nah

Owlboy (Review) – Gorgeous pixel art wasted on tedious gameplay and a viciously unpleasant story
