Wut, no.
At least I haven't heard of anything.
Besides, I think they know an Orcs Must Die moba has very little pull. I can't believe Dead Island even tried.
Greenlight access costs $100, and Valve's cut of sales is 30%, but that's it.
One mirrion troops.
"Orcs Must Die! Unchained is a fast-paced competitive Fortress Siege game, where teams battle head-to-head to both attack and defend fortresses."
Yes, they are. Their other games are pretty fun, too. I have bought around half of them.
Oh I never played that, since I am not much into racing. Is it like a sim where you have to train a single driver?

So, only 74 ?
Buy TF2 keys and use those to trade for games. You'll get a much better return.
Yeah! I have the Grand Prix Story also. I think I might have played Mega Mall at one point also. I never thought I would actually enjoy a game where I'm just managing stuff, but Kairosoft really pulled it off. I got addicted to Game Dev Story for a few days about a year ago

Yesterday I went deep into DS2's DLC.
I advanced and fought many new and tough enemies. I really liked the verticality of the area, full of dangerous jumps and "how the hell do I get that treasure?" sections.
I entered the temple and fought really tough phantoms until I figured out how to kill them more easily.
I kept advancing facing new terrors and dangerous spikes, and then I stupidly roll into a chasm, die like a bitch and respawn at the 1st bonfire.
I'm pretty mad with myself

I'm not too big on racing either, but this is still pretty fun. Typical gameplay includes: Train driver, hire pit crew, build car, research parts, install parts, and (watching the) race.
Building / researching / installing parts improves the driver and pit crew so that when they build the same car again, the new car's stats are usually better then previous ones. After winning the circuit/grad prix, you go on to the next tier of competition and you get new facilities (bigger pit crew, bigger garage, multiple drivers.) There are lots of car types and parts, and track types (road, dirt, icy, etc.) so there is a lot of variety.

I don't recall the last time I used the store (UK), there isn't anything I haven't been able to find from a trader for less - many times considerably less.

First of all, muchos gracias to Shadownet for gifting the game (completely out of the blue). I would've gotten to it eventually (either 75% off or a bundle), but with such a generosity, I didn't have any choice but to play it posthaste.
And... it's a good game, all right. Infuriating at times, but overall very pleasant puzzle platformer. Well worth the time spent, I'd say, especially if any of the gripes below doesn't sound bad to you..
What I liked:
- Lovely art design, backgrounds, animation and music. Production values are overall very high, only a step below UbiArt games, I'd say. Very reminiscent of Braid, I'd say.
- Good puzzles, solvable without resorting to outside help in most of the cases. Definitely nothing as obtuse as Gateways final puzzles.
- Interesting player abilities. Can't really say that having magnets and Dishonored Blink was innovative, but the way they were used and interacted with each other very much worked in the game.
- Controls were very good, even if the jumping was a tad too floaty for me. Would be a much bigger problem if the game had a bigger focus on platforming, but given that it was 80% puzzles, I can't really complain.
- Metroidvania-lite concept with no forced backtracking - only some of the secret scrolls required revisiting areas, everything else could be done by the first visit.
What I didn't care for:
- Boss fights, or rather lack of checkpoints during boss fights. Main character doesn't have any sort of health meter/shield, so the second you touch any of the hazards, you're brought back to the beginning of the fight. Which gets a tad annoying if said fight has several stages with new, random hazards added in the later ones.
- Few instances of physics not working consistently - I had worked out a few puzzle solutions, given up on them as non-working after a few tries, only to check online and find that I had the good idea, but one that requires blind luck to work out. This is only true for a few scrolls, nevertheless should not happen.
- Lack of proper map - the game marks your location, sure, but doesn't allow for map scrolling and doesn't mark the collectibles you discovered but haven't solved yet. Which makes the whole map pretty useless.
- The achievement system used by the game (1 for each of 36 hidden collectibles) could do with a revamp - you can 100% the game well before finishing actual playthrough. Would be lovely if the devs added at least a 'Finished the Game" achievement.
- Weird performance issues - I don't have the fastest computer, true, but still, would not expect the game dropping down to 30 fps in few areas. Really noticeable when most of the game is silky smooth. I've also had the game crap out on me three or so times - game logic was still running, but the game stopped updating screen. Had to enter menu and quit the game using only sound effects as a guide.

Took shamelessly.
As long as Turfster has one finger left, this thread will suffice with deals news.

In Savant Ascent, you don't have analog control of the player character. You can only roll left/right or jump left/right between two spots on the elevator, FYI

Is this a thing? Writing impressions for games we complete? Because I just 100% Metro 2033 yesterday and felt like writing something up to convince others to play it if it's in their backlog.
Sounds good, I should get it some time. Thanks for the impressions.
It is a thing.
Not as frequent around this parts as WaifuSpam, but sure, lots of folk post these.
I think that's part of the reason of this thread. I love reading other users impressions on games. It really helps with deciding what to play.

Out of all the things that get posted in this thread, game impressions (ideally games that are actually on Steam and not just random console/handheld exclusives obviously) are some of the most useful ones to me personally.
The ones that get posted here are typically much better written and thoughtful than the dross that typically gets posted as Steam user reviews.
