Black Mesa is a steal at that price. Played through it which doesn't happen very often... Recommended

Good stuff, how does it compare to the original? A faithful remake?

Yeh they have done a cracking job. It plays virtually the same. Difficulty, for me, compares perfectly. Enemy AI seemed the same. It really is a good game, it's Half Life after all

Zen was due at the end of the year but will be spring now apparently. But that's been delayed many many times... if that matters to you.

I think it is superb, a real trip down memory lane. I actually became a bit teary when I started the game in the tram, so many memories of this amazing game. I'd highly recommend it especially if you played the original back in the day, a true nostalgic experience.

This sounds fantastic then, I'll do it. Thanks to your reply and the others too ^^

Do you know if it supports controllers? Dirty question I know, but currently really in to couch gaming!

Cannot believe I missed The Witness last year. Great game, loving the puzzles.

Just a couple so far and I doubt I'll buy much more as the back-catalog I've already got to go through is big enough.

Ghost Recon Wildlands - taking my time with it and enjoying it so far, very nice looking game and I'm enjoying the mix of stealth / crazy action moments; need to take on the Predator mission before it ends in Jan.

Sniper Elite IV - bought to mainly play coop with my brother soon.

Was toying with the idea of picking up test drive unlimited 2, but sounds like it can be a bit buggy to get up and running for some.

Just got black Mesa....looking forward to it....

GTO656 · 29 Dec 2017 at 14:46

Any1 got any good online co op games on steam suggestions??

Digital X · 29 Dec 2017 at 15:36

Regarding TDU2, buggy how?

The only time I recall having issues is unpacking for modding.

Im tempted at 4.79 on CDKeys with this.... but not sure it has much longevity idk

Same, its fantastic. I was going to vote for it as GOTY then found it was released ages ago!

I can honestly say rising storm Vietnam is well worth the money, you can always get into a decent game, just not a massive amount of people playing it compared to other games eg battlefield 1 etc, I think theres around 2000 people playing every day.

It BLOWS bf1, the new cod and almost every other fps away for me, I think its great

humanlaptop · 30 Dec 2017 at 21:53

Gone with Holdfast for my FPS fix instead

Absolute magic.... cant beat marching into war rattling a drum

Psymonkee · 30 Dec 2017 at 22:32

I'm waaaay late to the party but recently got into Faster Than Light. A space game that is so very good but also so very difficult. Lots of RNG luck to deal with but great fun to kill an hour or two here and there.

Also only £1.74! Total steal!

CaptainRAVE · 30 Dec 2017 at 23:13

Cities skylines was my best purchase in this sale. Addicted!

Just taken a look at this as I hadn't heard of it and I purchased it. Will be looking to get into it in the next few days.

Its great fun, some of the battles are intense and you get some good line battles if there is a bit of organisation. Makes you wonder the madness of it all though, when you are in a line of about 20 men... a shell comes in and clears out 6 or 7 bodies and all you hear is the whistle, bang and screams on comms

All the while, you are trying to reload and the officers screaming fill the gaps...

I dont think ive doen all the maps either, but night time is really intense as you rely on the officers lighting lanterns to give you a bit of sight. But some of the stuff is 'Sharpe' esque... holding a farm house.... bridge heads.... all that sort of stuff.
