Steam sale over so first impressions

[Daywolf]

So the steam summer sale ended yesterday, what did you buy and what were your first impressions playing those games/software?

I spent way less this year. Like a whopping 21 bucks lol. Last year I spent I think $80 and all hard-core games for my desktop computer. But I got some good discounts, more than last year, and more casual stuff this year since I'm still playing the hard-core games. I like getting games I can play for years. I'll link in youtube trailers.

The Long Dark So far my fav choice this year. A more realistic survival game, I can see this getting attention all year. I've spent countless hours out irl wilderness, so naturally appeals to me. Older reviews don't do it justice, the modern version is pretty challenging starting out.

Ducati World Championshit ... meh not linking trailer, it's fail wont even run. I wanted an older GP race game (I have a couple already), but this one not worth a dime (was 7 dimes).

Waveform I .. I ... can't explain it ^^ it's good though. A few hours in so far, pretty challenging, nice eye candy and sound/music. This would be even nicer on a tablet PC, though great sound on desktop.

Off-road drive Far from a new game again, and it has mixed reviews, but more irl appeal again. And actually it's a really nice sim for technicals. If I had this years ago, maybe I wouldn't have scratched and dinged my 4x so much ... or would have more [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Gameguru (formerly fps creator) just another engine, one I demoed years ago. Haven't used it yet, beyond finding it was a little too much for my laptop. Just an engine to toss some of my work into and play around with. Major DX upgrade is suppose to be coming.

Windward Very nice little top-down 16th century naval game. I wish I could find a top-down space ship game this good, a bit like X3 or EVE. This game is in that direction though, with a bit of modest depth.

So no not a whole lot of games. I still have P99, ARMA 3, X:Rebirth and Space Engineers to play. But Dark and Windward were good additions since none of those would play on my laptop apart from P99.
