Well i'm getting the point and click games, others i've got through Humble Bundle and other such bundles. Awesome deal.

 

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'

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. :/

I have Trine (haven't finished it yet), I have Trine 2 (haven't installed it yet). I am missing the Trine 2 DLC. I have Eternity's Child (installed not yet played), Limbo (not yet installed), Giana Sisters: Twisted Dream (not yet finished, planned out the fanart though), Lucidity (not yet installed)... I think I got other games as well

Got the box version of Machinarium.

 

If we are talking cute, have you looked at The Maw?

Hm. Doesn't seem like my type of "cute" but I kinda do like the concept of the game.

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.

wallrunning, dodging spikes, saws, .... rewinding back if you fail,... :D Better than any Tomb Raider.

Add to that poor and repetitive combat. Still better than Tomb Raider.

Ok, thanks. Maybe it'll keep him occupied over his long Xmas break.

And then subtract the poor part.

They re-released Hosile Waters! *_*

I liked the first Prince of Persia, and I liked "Sands of Time", but I didn't bother with the others.
