I was looking at getting some roguelikes / lites (already have ToME, CoQ), unfortunately Cataclysm DDA is not on sale.

Krone Hotel at 90% off looks like a decent choice too. Then there’s Jupiter Hell, which I recently stumbled upon and looks great too.

I’d also like to get some of the FF games, though I’ve played VI, VII, IX and a bit of XII, it would be nice to revisit some of the older ones I haven’t played almost since the PSX era.

Had a bigger haul at GOG, but for Steam I got:

Persona 5 Royal (through Humble because of my Choice discount making it just under 30 bucks)
Another World (double-dip on Steam because the GOG release doesn't have the original Amiga ROMs as bonus content)
Garbage Pail Kids: Mad Mike and the Quest for Stale Gum (a new NES homebrew game published by Digital Eclipse - always been a decent emulation publisher)
NOMAD (another classic emulated title)
Castle Crashers (one of my "indie titles to get" games on the old list)
Battleblock Theater (same reason as Castle Crashers!)

Castle crashers is fun, but battleblock is hilarious. I love stamplers narration!

That's definitely part of the charm that got me to wishlist it so long ago in the first place!

Persona 5 Royal is gonna suck you in for a month or so, lol. I started that shortly after Christmas, thinking I could finish it on the break. Noooope. Didn't finish till late January.

I'm doubtful - only because I don't get sucked in that easily anymore with games. My backlog continues to grow, and I still haven't even beaten Tears of the Kingdom yet lol. But I got high expectations for Persona 5. I love me some flashy turn-based RPGs.

I got Dragon Quest 11 before as I prefer the turn-based combat in RPG, but that's no where as flashy and catchy as Persona 5. So P5R definitely would get beaten before DQ11 haha.

What'd you snag at GOG?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice (Refunded as it got cheaper during the sale - then got it for even less than the original sale price with the soundtrack on GOG)
Caesar 3 (Got that recommended along with my earlier purchase of Pharaoh + Cleopatra)
Deus Ex™ GOTY Edition (Literally 1 buck + I've heard it got a great modding community)
Lollypop (Had my eye on it since it launched on GOG - looks like a neat DOS game)
Yakuza Complete Series (Already got Yakuza 0 on Steam, but couldn't pass this. Especially at the all-time low price point. Funnily enough, I believe these games are one of the first to use GOG's new Steam SDK wrapper to make it easier to port. Denuvo was already ripped out before by SEGA, and only having to recompile the game once to point to GOG's own .DLL probably made the release a hell lot easier than before.)
Hypnospace Outlaw (Indie game that's been on my Steam watchlist for a while.)
Cuphead with The Delicious Last Course and its Soundtrack (Double-dipping because I got the base game on Switch and the soundtrack through Steam. But didn't wanna rely on Switch emulation to play the DLC after buying it. So GOG release it is!)
True Love '95 (An older Visual Novel that got recently re-released on GOG. Seemed interesting enough to give it a shot.)
