I've literally decided to replay the main campaign just last night. I played through at launch but missed a fair amount of side content as the city area sort of bled me dry lol. After that I rushed a bit to wrap it up in fear that I may not continue.

Have since played hearts of Stone (amazing story) and dabbled in blood and wine but I kept starting and stopping so I feel a fresh start is in order.

Also tempted to take the Frame rate hit, lock it to 30 and play in full 4k via my tv. I played at 30fps last night and it actually wasn't terrible. Looked glorious

Yeh i played it On TV at 4K for a while, But on harder diffculties the Combat is bit to Hard & not smooth enough.

But 3440x1400 Maxed out (Hw AA 2x) getting 80-100FPS

Just picked up Final Fantasy 7 ( I have it on Square-Enix Launcher but it keeps complaining about too many activations) and Game Dev Tycoon. Thinking about picking up Nier Automata too.

I picked miscreated up

I grabbed Hitman before the sale went up - stayed the same price when the sale did go up...

The bought Welcome to the Game and SOMA this morning. That will do me, unless I can and get the Witcher 3 GOTY package, but I really do not have the time that game is likely to take up and I didn't exactly get on with the Witcher 2 and gave up on it.

SOMA is so underrated. Fantastic story if anything else

Steam Link, Nier Automata and NBA playgrounds for me

I have it and started to play. Waiting for the final update with the zen levels coming in December for a full play through.

From the starting area I played its very well done

BriT · 23 Jun 2017 at 10:48

Ah ok, Will the update be free?

Cheeky sods at Paradox upped the price of Pillars of Eternity the day before the sale, not illegal but rather shoddy practice - seems they've sorted it out after the torrent of negative reviews though.

Pillars of eternity and europa universalis?

These both any good?

Picked up watch dogs 2 and the batman telltale series.

Also picked up wildlands and spaz 2. Oops. More good games for the link. The backlog grows... (not helped by having lots of open world games)

Kronos · 23 Jun 2017 at 11:31

Downward and Exoplanet: First Contact so far but am tempted by Everspace, not my usual genre of game so still on the fence.

Europa Universalis IV takes some getting used to as on the surface it can appear quite overwhelming, but it's a brilliant game for people who want a strategy game that'll take a long time to conquer the world.
It doesn't have a set campaign so you have to make up your own missions, or use the Steam achievements to set goals, but I find the whole challenge of picking a small nation and crushing someone giant like the Ottomans/Commonwealth loads of fun.

I struggled a bit with Pillars of Eternity, I'm normally a huge fan of isometric RPGs but for me the plot just seemed to lack direction and I had to keep backtracking far too much.

I have crusader kings 2 and just couldn't get into it. But throw me a civ game and it's one of my favourite series of games

I think I'll give POE a miss
