Save Point: A game deal roundup for the week of December 8

The Bridge Constructor series is on sale for like a dollar each on Steam. I posted over in the 'what have you been playing' thread that I just picked up the portal version plus the dlc for like $1.78 and it's one of the most fun puzzle games I've played in years. Highly recommend it! I'm thinking of picking up a few others since they're still on sale for a couple more days.

I've been away at PAX Unplugged so haven't gotten too much time to post deals, but Humble has been doing a bunch of repeat bundles for their best bundles of the year, today's is:
Board game bundle!

Yesterday's Boomer Shooters rerun was also pretty good, 10 hours left on that as of this writing.

Steam Bullet Heaven 2.0 Sale

Steam is once again having a Bullet Heaven sale despite still not having that as a tag on their platform ::grumble grumble::

Brotato and Halls of Torment are both obvious and well-known recommendations (also, fun fact: both were made in Godot). 20 Minutes Till Dawn is another powerhouse of the genre.

In terms of lesser known ones, however, I had fun with Nomad Survival, Orc Survivor, Nebula, Void Scrappers, and Run Build Pew!.

Gunlocked is also good, but it’s a slightly different take on the formula that doesn’t quite scratch the same itch for me as the other ones. I also personally couldn’t get into Boneraiser Minions but I know a lot of people love it.

So a couple of days late but GoG has a story based choice game sale going on right now!

Highly recommend Slay the Princess for around $15.

Warcraft I & II are getting delisted on GOG on December 13, so this is your last chance to get them.

Impressively, GOG is committing to supporting the game in the future as part of their Preservation Program, even though they can no longer sell it.

Going forward, even if a game is no longer available for sale on GOG, as part of the GOG Preservation Program, it will continue to be maintained and updated by us, ensuring it remains compatible with modern and future systems.

And because GOG is DRM-free, you’ll have lifetime access to your Offline Installers. That means, even though these games are being delisted, you’ll still have them safely stored in your library forever, ready to play whenever you want.

Use the coupon code MAKEWARCRAFTLIVEFOREVER for a small discount on the bundle.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard is now under $40 on steam ($38.99) for anybody that was waiting for a sale!

Mass Effect Legendary Edition is 92% off on Steam.

Fanatical Best of Infinity VR Build Your Own Collection

Title’s a mouthful, and this is a repeat bundle, but VR bundles are few and far between and generally a good value proposition (a lot of bigger VR titles don’t seem to get the same heavy discount treatment as pancake games).

Rez Infinite is neat but not a must-have, and I had fun with the I Expect You to Die series. We did a hot-seat playthrough of them with friends, with one person in the headset and everyone else watching the stream on the TV, commenting to help the person in the headset trying to survive the scenario. It was a great time.

Epic freebie of the week

LotR: Return to Moria

I was kinda interested in this when it was released despite not being a big survival crafter fan, but didn't hear much praise after release.
