Shardlight is in my opinion one of the best adventure games from Wadjeteye, comparable with such titles as Primordia or Gemini Rue.

Generally it's situated in post-nuclear world point&click adventure game (don't get discouraged by this "post-nuclear", fortunately Shardlight has some interesting ideas, bringing a bit of fresh air to this "overused" theme), quite logical puzzles (many experienced fans of adventure games are complaining that they're too easy, but for me they were fine, I always appreciated the fact that in most games from Wadjeteye you don't need to figure out some bizzare and curiosal "logic" for various puzzles, like in some older adventure games). Try the demo, it's available on Wadjeteye's website:

About Pathologic... OK, I didn't play so far in this "HD" version, only in original one, but I couldn't stand INCREDIBLY SLOOOOW movement of main character. And there is A LOT of walking between various locations. It has really intriguing atmosphere, but I couldn't stand anymore this slow walking and a lot of distance between houses/locations. I don't know if they repaired it in HD version, but if not - I highly recommend to stay away from this game (unless there is some fan-made patch allowing to run about which I don't know).

Intersate 82 is only 17% off which is really bad considering it's been on sale for way cheaper before. Is this gonna be the new norm for Activision here? -_-

Is it Tuesday yet? :)

I like Tharsis - but it really IS a dice game with a bit of an overlaying strategy layer. It's more like a single player board game, in scope, game play and game play depth, than a computer game.

The dice and the difficulty scope mean, more often than not, that you'll not make it to the end. But that's fine. The whole game theme plays with that. You are in an awful situation, your space ship is falling apart. The little extra aspects like your crew stressing out and making worse decisions - in between each dice round - that you have to accept a crew member dying once in a while - but can engage in canaballism as a food source - and so on really make, for me, for a neat, simple, straightforward, tightly designed game. If you like dark humour and are ok with losing frequently it's nice. I've played 86 games so far, 'won' 21 - though only a few were perfect ones. There definitely is a strategy, here, as in you need to decide where to put your focus; what the most pressing problem is, while the situation escalates.

The extra Missions - there's 10 of them - that are based on a specific strategy and are scripted are really nice, too, as they break up gameplay and are more like puzzles. I wish there'd be more of those next to the randomized main game.

Not on par with AAA games in terms of length and gameplay variety - but that's not what this is about.

Totally agree. These are terrible mistakes of GOG. To be honest, it's really strange for me why these features are still missing.

I'll tell you something more. There was bundle sales before, in which owning or buying more than x games gave you better price for all the bundled titles. And there was still no clear back-link from games' page to a bundle. It resulted in interesting cases when two customers from the same country looked at the same product and saw different price. Since there was a lot of bundles during season sales, finding a proper bundle to check the price and possible discount wasn't easy.

And for people who didn't know how bundles worked, there was a lot of missed opportunities (for example they were buying 5 games and didn't know that adding one more from a certain bundle would give them significant discount for the whole package)...

Missing features you've mentioned are a great sin of this platform. It should be really easy to implement, but for some reason they can't or just don't bother. That's GOG.

I like GOG everybody knows that but once again I am noticing a pattern I don't like at all. Unfortunately it has become a typical GOG pattern which is not a good thing: GOG makes an announcement to tell people that games are on sale - meaning they want us to buy something. That alone of course is not a bad thing ;) However there are several questions asked in this thread and so far not a single reply from one of the GOG staff to answer those. I really don't understand why GOG (unfortunately as usual) has so many problems with feedback. It's not just answering questions it also gives the community the feeling that GOG is caring. I know they have many other things to do but are one or two replies really are too much to ask for? I don't think so.

Thank you for the sale though, GOG and for whatever comes tomorrow (even though I don't know yet if this will be a good thing or not ;)).

Yeah, I've heard that the randomization is too much in the game.

Also, have you tried that Cryptark game?

Nothing! Absolutely nothing!

*Good news™ everybody.We just rolled out Galaxy installers for all games on GOG*.I'll just plant this plot twist here for tommorow ;).Cheers

I can recommend Nex Machina -- but only if you're a Galaxy user. The high score and visual upgrades are locked to your Gog account.

Her Story is pretty good, but my mind got distracted and I forgot about it when I was in the middle of deciding on the most efficient way to take notes.

Personally, I'm gonna get me some Slain which I missed at last sale.

Nice sale! Already grabbed the Necrodancer Amplified DLC for $2! Anyone here played any of these?


-Rogue Legacy (I love me some roguelikes!)
-Bionic Dues (moar roguelikes)
-Trine (I already have the second game, does it make the first one completely obsolete?)
-Pixeljunk Shooter (I've played shittons of Pixeljunk Monsters, which isn't the same style of game of course. Is this any good as a co-op sidescrolling shooter though?)

How does Gnomoria compare to games like Dwarf Fortress?

It's more expensive! ;-)

I would get Inquisitor at that sale price, but once again it's months behind in updates compared to the Steam version...

Well, why not get both then? (+ or - 50 cents wouldn't matter to your pocket; same with 4 EU (I guess?))
The base games are basically the same (bar the graphics); they manage to diverge at mod/DLC:
