Up to 75% off Pillars of Eternity, Satellite Reign, Legends of Eisenwald, Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty and more!



Gaming sins are a regrettable thing. Whether they come from games you shamefully put aside without finishing them, from questionable methods you used while trying to finish them, or from borrowed discs that you claimed were already scratched - they might all give you trouble sleeping. But the worst offenders are always the games you should have picked up and never did. Well, worry not, fellow sinners, for our Weekly Staff Picks: <span class="bold">New Year Absolutions</span> will help you settle the bill with the Gaming Gods and venture into the rest of the year as a whole new person!

If you've missed out on Pillars of Eternity, ten "Hail Marys" will hardly cut it. After all, this is the spiritual successor to Baldur's Gate, some of the most celebrated RPGs of all time, we are talking about here. Complete with meaningful customization, real-time-with-pause combat, a captivating story, and memorable NPCs, it's not hard to see why this one is strongly favored by the Gaming Gods.

The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, a captivating exploration adventure, has recently reappeared in all its reduxed glory. You investigate the recent murders on sleepy Red Creek Valley as a detective summoned there by the young Ethan Carter. But once you piece together the nebulous clues, a horrifying discovery will make you question your very perception of reality.

A war is going on in the neon-lit streets of Satellite Reign. The mega-corporations keep citizens under their thumb, dictating the rules of democracy in this cyberpunk, dystopian future with the strong Syndicate vibes. You control a customizable band of defiant troublemakers, and infiltrate, hack, kill, or bribe your way towards upsetting the status quo. Will you prove yourself a liberator, an alternative evil, or just an opportunist?



The more gaming sins, the more <span class="bold">New Year Absolutions</span> needed to wash them away. Thankfully, our Weekly Staff Picks offer a delectable selection of over a dozen winners, like Legends of Eisenwald, Grim Fandango Remastered, Transistor, and Tales from the Borderlands, going for up to 75% off. Get, play, love. The promo will last until January 29, 10:59 AM GMT.
Please, please, please, make soundtracks purchasable without a game.
Pillars of Eternity @ Humble Store -60% and here only -50% ??
This is a good example of why all these different versions of a game should come under on header. Looked at this deal, had to check back to account to see what bits I had and what not. Basically its is about 3-4 games, and 4 versions each. Why can version not be a subheading of the game, and DLC/others also a subsection. Far better for organisation.
According first sentence in OP I expected 75% discount for Pillars of Eternity. And it was up to 75%. My mistake. :(
mmm, some interesting stuff here but I can't afford them (or I already have them)...

BUT what's interesting me is the Grim Fandango remastered as it's cheap and back in the days I had technical problems with it so I couldn't play it. What bothers me is that I recall a lot of shitstorm when the "remastered" game came out (I don't even remember why....).

So: Yay or Nay?
I'm not super impressed with these deals, but I might pick something up.
But basically this 'staff pick' is a repeat of some previous deals?
D4: Dark Dreams Don't Die is amazing :D But keep in mind that the story probably won't be continued in a while, as the developer is taking a break from game development.

There was a shitstorm because gog marked the wishlist completed, but only provided the remastered version, and not the original.
Is Satellite Reign worth picking up or should I just stick with Syndicate?
Damn. That's some great deals. Some of my biggest "wants" from my wishlist. I wasn't expecting anything like this untill some big summer sale. Which is why I probably won't buy anything right now, I simply haven't made provisions in my budget for a bunch of new games. But I have to give it to you, that's probably the most impressive Weekly Picks so far.

Could be, although I don't remember Transistor at 75% off before (I just got it :P)
Want to get Hyperdimension Neptunia, but Ill wait until every title is here on gog.

D4 really is awesome, but its just one season and Swery said the sales were kinda low, so dont get your hopes up for a second season in the near future.

Same here, actually, although looking at the base price, I don't think Pillars of Eternity would be cheap enough even with a 75% discount. I've found that the real-time-with-pause combat just doesn't work for me; either give me turn based RPG goodness with a party or give me a pure action game with only one party member at a time.
