Topic	Stealing the "what should I get this steam sale?" from ganon!
Sahuagin 01/01/18 12:01:24 AM #10:	FTL is a no-brainer AllstarSniper32 posted... I've played FTL before, but not on steam. ah Starbound is probably great if you like Terraria. (I don't like Terraria, so didn't really like Starbound) Age of Wonders 3 has amazing tactical combat, but it has a lousy campaign (I thought so anyway). It might have been improved in DLC but I have yet to return to it. Age of Wonders 1 on the other hand, which I now see listed, is extremely good. It's not perfect either, but is very very very very good. The tactical combat is not as complex as AoW3, but the campaign is WAY better than 3 and has WAY more variety. Age of Wonders 2 is also really great. They all kind of have their pros and cons versus each other. 3 has the crappiest campaign by far. 1 tends to have a problem of small armies in large battlefields requiring too much movement. 2 has balance problems. All of them are worth playing. I have yet to try AoW: Shadow Magic (even though I think I've bought it twice...) Trails in the Sky is IMO the best written game I've ever played. The only thing that comes close is Mass Effect and other Bioware games, but it's even better than Bioware. The only problem is that the combat is a tad dull. (Hard to think of why... it's too slow paced or something. It's actually good combat, it just moves at a snails pace making it a lot less fun than it should be.) Rage is a somewhat fun FPS that is literally half-finished and basically ends for no reason right in the middle of the game. I don't outright recommend the game, but what is there is good. Dungeon Siege 1 is a great game, but has a really slow start. It gets better and better and better the further you make it. It has pretty lousy character customization (game design philosophy was that you should just pick up a stick, start whacking things, and slowly become a fighter by doing so), but the environments and enemy variety more than make up for it. the other dungeon siege games are less good; forgettable but not terrible. I recommend playing DS1 on hard, but it's up to you and what you're looking for. Factorio is an amazing game, but it's not listed as on sale ($25) from what I've played, Gauntlet is better than I expected, but not that awesome either Braid is worth playing. Geometry Wars 1 is awesome but maybe not that long lasting (they really need to release Galaxies on Steam) that's it for games I know anything about --- *The truth basks in scrutiny.* http://i.imgur.com/GMouTGs.jpg http://projecteuler.net/profile/Sahuagin.png <cite>Sahuagin posted [p:893212666] in Stealing t...
