The Gamers Arms

Store isn't loading so the sale has started.

Working now... kinda.

Haven't had time to properly browse, but for the most part it's looking like the same games for the same discounts I've already passed up on half a dozen times before.

A bit tempted by Grimrock 2 for £7 and Just Cause 3 for £2 though.

Battletech for 11 is tempting, it’s usually never under 20.

I never did get round to playing Total War: Warhammer, might have a think about that one at £10. Although I'm sure I've seen it going for a fiver before on sale. Should have bought it then.

Sly, definitely get Grimrock 2. It expands on the first game perfectly. Absolutely loved playing that.

Think I'll try steam when it comes to the wee hours as not once has it worked here so far today

Well worth bagging, watching the battles play out is fucking awesome, all your tabletop battle fantasies come true. If you get 1 and 2, you get a mahoosive map with loads of possible factions albeit many sat behind a pay-wall as DLC. That said, buy the races that interest you in the sales and they are only pennies, but add whole campaigns worth of replayability so in the £/hour scale are very affordable.

Seconded, I've spent countless hours in Grimrock 2. It's a near-perfect implementation of its sub-genre.

Might and Magic X is in a similar vein and also well worth a look.

Yeah, the main thing holding me back is the first game is the type that I really want to like, but for some reason didn't totally gel with. I played it for a few floors (a dozen hours) but didn't go back to it.

But I really enjoyed their Druidstone game, which put Grimrock 2 back to the front of my mind. Another game I want to love, but not sure. Still, for £7 the risk is minimal so I'll no doubt pick it up.

I recommend people check out The Council, £10 for a really good narrative game with RPG elements.

Fair enough, but bear in mind that in the second game you can play as a rat-man who can wield a blunderbuss. Just saying...

SOLD!

Cheapest its been.

Bought Star Crawlers a grid based rpg sci fi game. VR dungeon Knights and VR Battlezone. Will get to play them at some point and Outward the co-op RPG that I had my eyes on and has good enough reviews

Every time I see "VR Battlezone" mentioned I think that some wonderful person has added VR support to Battlezone '98 and it takes me a moment to realise my disappointment.

As per usual during a Steam sale I also recommend
