For those that did not want to get the very good Close to the Sun on Epic (released there in April IIRC), it is now available on GOG as they have promised for a year. You can pick it up until May 12th for 25% off. If you own Deliver Us the Moon, then your discount is 35% ($12.99).

"Experience the second era of scientific discovery and step aboard the Helios, a colossal vessel born from Nikola Tesla’s vision. Join journalist Rose Archer who enters Helios in search of her sister and quickly discovers that not all is as it seems… "


Close To the Sun looks like a Russian rip off of BioShock to me. All the screnshots look like BioShock... even the logo.

Down my way, the price translates to about $5, which is an incredible bargain! Amazingly, I already have about 20 of these games, but with DLCs, not to mention Daikatana (snort), it's got to be worth it.

It’s not. It’s a very industrialist setting (Tesla) aboard an advanced 1890’s steamship. There are some similarities because of this but it’s a very good game on it’s own. The story holds up pretty well and you have no weapons. You sneak as well as run and hide if discovered.

Same ish, 38,90 EUR. Too steep for stuff that can be had for less than a dollar a piece...not to mention the number of titles already owned.

Is this really a good deal? These old titles already go out for bargain prices. Apparently there is some charity connected... Though if you're not familiar with all those old games, that is a LOT of content.

50% of it is just DLC weapons and skins it seems. I don't know about the charity and I think that would be great, but aside from that I don't think its that great of deal. At least in my opinion. Most of it isnt even games, its weapons and such. But could be great for some who need some games to play.

54 games for the price of 1-2? Yeah, you're totally being ripped off. Ignore this deal with prejudice!

I didn't say it was a rip off. Just not for me. Don't take it personally. Just my opinion.

SteamDB gives an interesting picture of how much prices vary, with Argentina being up there with Russia at the cheapest prices, but I have no idea why. (my price of $5 is because it doesn't include the games I already have in my library)
Not complaining, mind you.

Don't know what you guys talking about.

Eidos Anthology bundle is just $415 for me.
I can't find it anywhere now :(


You guys arent missing anything, they left out good games and it honestly wasnt even worth the $39

Have you guys noticed Steam has lately been having games here and there for free?? Im randomly catching it on slickdeals

So both my sons and I got the game and downloaded it at the same time. My youngest who's rocking a SSHD and is furthest from the modem finished first, while I and my oldest finished 78% and 52% respectively. We have SSD's.

They're doing the $10 coupon on $14.99 or more purchases again too. I can't fathom how EGS manages to do this and keep their doors open. Fortnite must be barfing money still.

Fortnite has made them billionaires. This is nothing for them.
