Day 5 of the Humble Sale

You know the deal, so let’s just mention the games I think are worth buying and insert a link to the Humble Store. No, we aren’t sponsored by them, but I wouldn’t say no if they made us an offer *hinthint* ;)
To the store!

  • Invisible Inc., 10% off - Not a great deal, but the game just got released. I didn’t play it, but Cody really liked it in his review.
  • Universe Sandbox, 80% - Not really a game, but an interesting planetary physics simulator. If you like to play around with orbits or learn a bit more about our universe, this is a nice Sandbox to play around with. Don’t expect too much though.
  • Mark of the Ninja Special Edition, 67% - Very good 2D stealth platformer. Liked the Assassins Creed China game? Then you will love this!
  • Hotline Miami, 75% - It’s brutal, it’s frantic, it’s confusing. A top-down shooter were you have one life and limited ammo, but unlimited respawns. A must have if you haven’t played it yet.
  • Thief (The new one), 75% - Granted, it’s a bad Thief game, it’s not even as good as Dishonored, but for 8 bucks or whatever it is in $, it’s still a worthwhile investment.
  • Just Cause 2, 75% - Great open world sandbox action and easily worth the money.
  • Sleeping Dogs, 75% - Interesting spin on the GTA formula. While the driving doesn’t feel great and the overall presentation is not on the same level as GTA, the melee mechanics are fun, the story entertaining enough and the world interesting. Ever wanted to bet on cockfighting in a video game? Here you can.
  • Sanctum 2, 85% - Tower-defense mixed with FPS. I didn’t actually play this entry, but enjoyed the first one and heard that the 2nd one is even better.
  • Tiny&Big: Grandpa’s leftovers, 90% - Great game for the price. It’s a bit rough, but offers some really cool mechanics and soundtrack. It’s a buck well spent!
  • Völgarr The Viking, 80% - The Bloodborne of retro 2D action games.
  • The Last Federation, 75% - Interesting spin on the space 4x genre, where you are the last survivor of your race, trying to establish a federation of planets and unite the galaxy under your banner through all sorts of means.
  • Auditorium, 89% - Nice little puzzle game that might get boring after a while though. Still, you should get a $ of entertainment out of it.
  • Strike Suit Zero, 83% - Arcade space shooter, takes 2-3 mission until it gets going but great fun for that price.
  • Brütal Legend, 85% - For less than $3, this isn’t actually as bad as everyone tried to tell you. It’s a nice homage to Metal, offering a fun story. The open world action/real time strategy mix maybe didn’t work out that well, but it’s still a good experience overall.
  • Sword & Sworcery, 76% - I really liked the combination of art style, camera work and soundtrack. The gameplay itself is a very basic adventure and won’t hold your attention, but it’s still a great piece of retro inspired art.
  • Joe Danger, 74% - Played that one on the PS3 and loved it. Great motorcycle platformer from the guys working on No Man’s Sky
  • Deus Ex: Human Revolution, 75% - Just get it if you haven’t played it already. One of the best games of the last console generation.
  • Tomb Raider, 75% - Great reboot that’s closer to Uncharted than classic Lara Croft.


 

Puh, what a list.

Want any of those games streamed? Tell me in the comments. Yesterdays stream didn’t happen, but I should find some time today.
