Majek Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Well i'm getting the point and click games, others i've got through Humble Bundle and other such bundles. Awesome deal. 1.13 killed off Ja2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melkathi Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Botanicula was a really cute/fun game, glad I gave it a chance. Those types of games aren't great on replay value, imo, but they can be tons of fun the first time or two. At the price I got it, even one playthrough is me robbing them blind Though I also buy games purely based on artistic merit, when I decide that their visual approach etc stands out.

Not a GoG game, but if you haven't tried it, you may want to try the Steam demo of 'Trine' “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

LadyCrimson Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Though I also buy games purely based on artistic merit, when I decide that their visual approach etc stands out. It was the music and sound effects for me. I saw some preview video or something and it was so "cute" that I had to have it. By the end I did think of it as a very artistic game. But those "yoohoos" and the great soundtrack got me to purchase. ...Tried the Machinarium (sp?) after and while it was also kinda cute, it wasn't the same. I haven't finished it. :/ “Things are as they are.

LadyCrimson Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I've stared at the Prince of Persia games off and on, thinking hubby might like them. Are they at all like Tombraider in terms of style? That is, the running, crawling, leaping/grabbing, puzzle type action? Only with swords instead of guns? Or am I totally misreading things. Buying Theme Hospital, Settlers2 and Symphony. Because I can. “Things are as they are.
