Last Day of Steam Sales: The List of $2/$5/$10 games

its under $2.
I'd recommend TNBT, in spite of some illogical puzzles. It's silly and has some good funny bits. The reviews for Yesterday weren't glowing - seems like illogical puzzles + self-serious illogical plot. The Runaway games I've heard people who loved them and people who hated them.
It's cold outside. Your turn!
Seriously though. I used up all my wallet funds and had no intention of buying it (or anything else for that matter) again. This would make me go beyond what I'd earmarked for the sale.

I like Dark Void. While the vertical cover is a gimmick its actually a pretty great gimmick. Going cover to cover up and down isn't any different mechanically then on the ground but the way it looks and feels is great. I actually think the game got worse the more jet packing there was. Also there is a TERRIBLE escort mission late in the game that lasts up to an hour. Easily the worst level from any game this gen.
Also I'll 5th (or whatever it is) Waves. I love some of the songs on the soundtrack. I wish it was available on steam. I wonder if it is on itunes or anything
I haven't played Rocketbirds but PSNstores sold me on their podcasts awhile back. I was waiting for the Vita version but since its so cheap I bought it on steam

The remake of 1 omits clicking on certain random objects and using items on stuff that would've resulted in the characters making a quip about them. From TVtropes:
EDIT: Dark Void Zero is also $2.49:

The Witcher 1 is a fantastic RPG, and it's $2.50. Thoroughly recommend it if you haven't played it.
Awesome list!!
Here are a few games I played and finished that I recommend
Critter Crunch (plus you can get a 2nd copy to gift right here)
Machinarium
Blocks That Matter
Sequence
Psychonauts
Binding of Isaac (my most played game on steam)
Bit. trip runner
Winterbottom
Toki Tori (where is the "people who didn't like Toki Tori/racist" graph when you need it?
)
Limbo
I have several more but still need to play them. Not enough time

Hydrophobia at 1.24???
I know the game is shitty, but would I get $1.24 worth of fun out of it?

A pretty game with fast combat like old-school FPS games. The level design is boring, but the environment hazards and combat mechanics are fun enough for a few bucks. And if you like cyberpunk, the art design is oooohsogood.

Here's an old (poorly-written) review I did a few years back.
In short: I recommend it.
Also saw that The Cursed Crusade is 5.99. Any good?

glad I grabbed the two Ys games for $8.74 total a couple weeks back...
No, Mileena's point is applicable here. A fair number of the games in Mr. Orange's posts have already been flash/daily/community deals even though they aren't noted as such. Spirits, Half Minute Hero, Binding of Isaac, Snapshot, Unmechanical, Bit.Trip Runner, FTL, Little Inferno, Ys Origin and Felghana, Grimrock, and Clash of Heroes...off the top of my head.
Not saying these games aren't worth buying at their non-flash/community/daily deal prices, but yeah.
There's a lot namedropped in the OPs so I'll probably make another post with the games I recomend later, maybe.
Didn't see it yet (sorry if I missed it):
Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack for only 2$.

Oh. Hmm. I'll look into the original, although $2 for the trilogy off Steam is pretty cheap.

I hate this topic. I thought I was already done, but Knights of Honor looks right up my alley. The pics remind me a lot of Stronghold.

Haha, i have it on PS3, thanks for the suggestion though
Magical Drop V?
I remember they did a kind of best of the sales thing during the summer, so maybe.

Oh god this is going to cost me...
and what makes it so hard?
And what's so amazing about binding of isaac?
looks very pretty! Does it compare to something like BulletStorm?

What's Machinarium like?

I'm considering Fable: The Lost Chapters, should I just get Witcher 1 instead or are they incomparable?
Fable 1 is fine but the Witcher is 100x the game Fable is. It's not close.

I never played The Lost Chapters but I thoroughly enjoyed the original Fable on Xbox. The Witcher was also really fun but I never got to finish it due to a serious bug that prevented me from finishing a story quest.
It depends if you're looking for a serious, mature game (Witcher) or a cartoony fantasy game (Fable). Combat is a lot more gritty in Witcher (mainly using swords and different potions to buff yourself), a lot more flamboyant in Fable (you end up using a lot of spells to shoot lightning, slow time, create shockwaves). You can also get married and buy houses and get tattoos in Fable, and it has a morality system. The Witcher has more nuanced choices that aren't good or bad, but have serious repercussions to the story an hour or two after you make them.
They're both good games.
Already have it, but WORD on a super nice offer <3

man, so many decisions, so little cash.
looks like I'm definitely getting machinarium and sine mora (from gmg) for a total of $5.
I wasn't planning on spending more than $10, so that leaves me with either Fable or Space Channel 5 (been on my wishlist forever), or Witcher 1 and another game for $2.50 (can't be going under that limit)

Machinarium is an adventure game, not hard on the puzzles, simple but nice story, great visuals and amazing sountrack
And BoI is a roguelike with randomly generated floors and rooms, you star on the basement killing stuff, and finding items that make you more powerful or less, depends on your luck
Until you fin the boss of the floor, once beaten you go down another floor.
There are like 8 floors at first, but then you unlock more, as well as more items as you defeat bosses or do certain stuff.
Once you die you start all over again.
I don't know if that's what you'd like but I found it very addicting
Check the other thread or ask if someone would like to gift it to you, it was in the last HiB, so there are a lost of keys going around
I can't speak to Fable, so I can't compare, but just a heads up on what you would be getting into with the Witcher. It's a pretty lengthy game (I think I put 40ish hours into a playthrough), and a good chunk of the early stuff amounts to fetch quest boredom that might put you off. People seem to love or hate the combat, which is based around switching sword-types and attack stances depending on the enemies you encounter, and chaining strikes on enemies by clicking them in a sort of timing sequence as the animation plays out. I loved the combat, and it is really dynamic when you get used to it - but there is a bit of a "getting used to it" curve. The environments were/are really pretty, and there's good variety. The fiction and the characters are also really well done. It's got a real unique sense of identity.
Just to mention, if you don't pick it up, or if you pick it up but don't plan on playing it for a while - don't play the sequel first. I found it really difficult to go back to the first one after enjoying the improvements of the second.

thanks both of you for the explanations. I'll be going with machinarium cause it looks gorgeous, BoI being a roguelike kind of turns me off. If I have time for one roguelike this season I want it to be FTL.
Witcher 1 also sounds like something that requires more time than I currently have, plus I usually prefer games that don't take themselves so seriously, so I think I'll go with Fable.
Lovely avatar btw, Deckard

The Witcher is so much better it's not funny. And Fable ain't too terrible to be begin with.

As a reminder, Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale and Fortune Summoners are both right at $9.99, and Chantelise is $4.99.
I think they're all rather nice games, myself.

Allow me to recommend CivAssist to all Civ 3 players. It'll give you the detailed info you want.
