    Humble's indie.io bundle expires in 2 days 8 days, looks like it was extended. Someone gifted me Coromon and I had a blast with it, great take on modernizing the monster taming formula and played like what I wanted from gen 4 pokemon. I haven't played any others but I may grab the bundle just based on Coromon.

    tier 1: 1 USD

    tier 2: 5 USD

    tier 3: 10 USD

    tier 4: 13 USD

      I have 12 hours into One Lonely Outpost, so as a heads up: it's early access and that shows. Gameplay feels pretty rough in some areas. I stopped because the pacing was just too slow and it felt a bit too rough, and there haven't been any updates since then. Based on recent reviews and discussions, the devs haven't been forthcoming with any news either.

        Thanks for sharing! I expect some duds in a publisher sale and that one didn't draw my interest, but that's still disappointing since that one is from their own developers. Looks like they haven't posted an update for 6 months and the full release was supposed to be 3 months ago, sounds abandoned to me.

    Humble's Enter the Mysterium Bundle also expires in two days.

    It features the full Myst series, including three different versions of the original game (Masterpiece Edition, realMyst, and the 2021 remake).

    Of note, however, it does NOT include the recent Riven remake.

    Beyond the Storm is a niche little hidden gem that's currently 92% off on Steam.

    The game is a love-letter to Tyrian 2000. It features remade/upscaled assets of the original, as well as entirely new material, but the game itself isn't a one-to-one copy. It has some new systems, like power allocation and a grid-based overworld map system that lets you travel between different points of interest.

    I'll caveat my recommendation with the following: The game doesn't fully feel complete. It's rough around the edges. It's a solo-dev project from a college student. I wouldn't recommend it to most people.

    But if you like Tyrian? Then I'd definitely recommend it, especially at this price.

    BIT.TRIP RUNNER MEGA BUNDLE is 85% off on Steam.

    It gets you all four BIT.TRIP RUNNER games + their soundtracks, including the recent RERUNNER remaster (which is great, by the way).

    It's also a complete-the-set bundle, so if you already own some of the titles, you only have to pay for what you don't have, but you still get the overall discount rate. I used it to snag the RERUNNER for $3.

    Demon Turf is on sale right now, 60% off! It's a great and charming 3D Platformer with attitude and a real cool style. This edition also includes all of the DLC and the level editor! I already had the original edition on my Switch, but the deal was so good I swooped in and got it so I can play the DLC, and on my Steam Deck too. : )

    Massive turn-based sales going on in Steam and GOG. Check it out, lots of games, some that are $30+ going for less than $2.

    One suggestion: Skald: Against The Black Priory an incredible experience of a turn-based dungeon crawler/exploration/choose-your-own-adventure/retro80snostalgiacore/VHS-CRT-Degrade kind of game that came out earlier this year. It's usually $30, and is on GOG for $12.

    Others:
    Alien: Isolation (Deluxe Bundle) - $7, instead of the original $30.
    This is certainly one of the best Alien experiences there ever has been, including the original movie. The latest movie Alien: Romulus which was one of the best movies in the entire series was more inspired by this game than the other movies, and it's been so successful in resurgence (for a ten year old game it plays and looks amazing, truly ahead of its time). The same developers just announced a sequel in the last few days, something incredibly exciting. Takes place 15(?) years after Alien, with Ripley's daughter. The game design and 'sets' are truly insane. You feel like you are inside the original film.

    Nintendo finally announced their highly anticipated new hardware, and it's a doozy.

    Obviously this isn't the Switch 2, and a motion tracking alarm clock for $99 is a bit of an ask, but there is some neat technology in there, and Nintendo has been trying to get into sleep health for years. I wonder if this tech can be used for restlessness or apnea detection?
