Two more days left to redeem 17 Steam games DRM-free and grab 300+ deals up to -90%!



For whom the bell tolls? It tolls for the Back to School Sale Finale! You have two more days to get or Connect any games that you've missed, put them in your knapsack, then run back home and pretend you have a tummy ache.

All available deals and collections are now final, bringing the total up to 300+ games, going for as low as -90%. In case you haven't been paying much attention during class, here's a study guide with some of the highlights to help you catch up:

Get your RPG education sorted with the help of Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition, Pillars of Eternity, or Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines. If you're looking to study the classic point' n 'clicks, start with Day of the Tentacle Remastered, Sam & Max Hit the Road, or Monkey Island 2: Special Edition. Feeling a bit restless? Finish your homework and you can dig into some Dying Light: The Following - Enhanced Edition, Victor Vran, or Grim Dawn.


17 GOG Connect titles available — connect your Steam account and add eligible games to your GOG.com library for free. During the remaining two days of the Back to School Sale Finale you can still redeem 17 GOG Connect titles, including:

[i]Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition
Anno 1404
The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing: Final Cut
Hotline Miami
Dex
Shadow Warrior 2013[/i]
and more!

Just like last time, these are limited-time offers made possible by our awesome partners!



Ok people, break is over! Make your teachers proud and go back to the Back to School Sale for the educational Finale that will last until Sunday, October 2, 9:59 PM UTC.

Speaking of manuals I'm digging the artfully crafted one for Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb. I sure wouldn't mind having a high-quality paper copy of it.

What? No snake repellent? :D

This hasn't been a particularly active thread.
Nor has it been a very lively sale.

In the end I did spend some money. Mostly, out of fear due to the Interplay cleaning house doomsayings.

I have no idea wether I will like Freespace or not.

Well, that's your guys' fault for forgetting to bring the confetti and cake.

Gngh, what an annoying time to end a sale. ;_; I was just browsing the games on sale, everything's OK, and when I'm almost done, the sale ends. I kind of expected it to end at the same time as normal weekend sales. I even had one game in my cart. Oh well, I guess I'll just wait for the next time then.

Yeah, same here. I figured I'd think about it for a while and maybe grab it this evening. Never paid much attention to the sale end time, so my bad. No big deal though, I have many games. Too many. I'll just put that one on the wishlist and will wait for another sale.

Ditto - I was in the middle of buying Settlers 5 and the Homeworld series, when before I could check out, Boom, the sale was over. Bummer!

oldgameryeah: Thank you for mentioning the need to spend time reading the manuals before diving into the games. I will keep this in mind when deciding when to play them.

zeogold: Wait...you mean there are people who DON'T read the manual from start to finish before starting a game? O_o
There are games I can play without reading the manual, But at least one of the StarTrek manuals is required reading. I do not mind reading a manual. But is is also nice to play a game that can be played without the need to look at a manual.

DeMignon: What did you want to get?
I was looking at Sherlock Holmes something, Jack the Ripper I think? It's not a huge loss really, because my backlog is already huge and I didn't intent to play it right away, but still a bit disappointing.

They will probably be on sale again in December.

I've considered getting the Sherlock Holmes games, but my backlog is also huge, and I get the sense they are just OK games, when I have many really good games that I haven't started yet. So I'll probably wait until they are so cheap I can't resist.
