General PC game discussion thread

Delete or merge this thread if one of this sort already exists for PC games. Couldn't find one.

I came across a Muramasa-like game on Steam and was wondering if there were many other similar games that people like.

Here's the game I was referring to:
Rain Blood Chronicles: Mirage

Looks pretty cool to me, but I am going to wait for more feedback from those that have played it.

Dust: An Elysian Tail is another that looks great. Pretty terrible voice acting though. Just trying to wait for a sale on it.

Also just looking for recommendations in general. What are some of your favorites?

Anyway, feel free to discuss these games and any others that you are playing, thinking about trying, have input on, etc. Thanks!

Been playing Trine on and off. Awesome puzzle-platformer. It's on Steam, but I have the physical version.

I've also been playing Zeliard, a JRPG/Metroidvania game from the 90s:



It's hard as shit but I'd like to sit down and finish it someday soon.

This Humble Bundle store is going to make me poor. I can't get enough. So many good deals.

I love / hate Steam and Humble Bundle. I have SOOOO many games that I know I will never get around to playing. But when they are just a couple dollars, how can I resist?

Some games that I've been enjoying on PC are:

Legends of Grimrock - A seriously awesome old school dungeon crawler. Just the right mix of puzzles, combat, and ambiance. It can get pretty tough, but its well worth it.

Deus Ex - I'm talking about the original here. Install the newer texture mods and go to town. This is seriously one of the coolest games I've ever played. It mixes the FPS and RPG genres perfectly.

Payday: The Heist - Mix the gameplay style of Left 4 Dead with objective based shooters and you have Payday. You have fend of cops, crack safes, blast walls, pretty much everything you would think a band heist would consist of. This game is awesome.

So where do I keep my eyes peeled for games on sale? I already know some of the obvious like steam, gog, humble, and amazon but is there anything I'm forgetting? Is green man gaming any good? I've seen it mentioned here and there around the internet.

Also I just bought far cry 3 and blood dragon from amazon for 20 last night but didn't realize they were through uplay. I didn't like uplay from the first time I loaded it up but at the same time I don't really care since both games look amazing on ultra.

You can get some cheap games on Greenman Gaming. They're usually Steam codes, but they'll just have massive retailer discounts. It's a very good source.

Yea I've always checked out kotaku's money saver and it seems like for almost every single new release gmg has the lowest prices with a code just never really heard much about them besides that though.

OMG!

Camp Keepalive is a turn-based strategy game set in a camp straight out of an 80's horror movie. Save the helpless and dull-witted campers from an onslaught of monsters with a team of counselors, each with a special power.

So I just bought killing floor from humble for 5 bucks but after redeeming it on steam it says it's a guest pass. Anyone know the deal with that?
