Talking point: What are you playing this weekend?

By - | Views: 32,630

It's nearly the end of January already, feels like the year is going rather quickly! With all the releases we've had lately along with some excellent games last year, what are you clicking on this weekend?

I'm rather sick from a nasty bug going around my Son's school so I shall mostly be moaning, groaning and playing something like Slay the Spire since it's ridiculously good and requires very little actual effort. Bonus points to it for working very nicely on my notebook so I can do it in bed.

I might also be catching up on some more Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus, since I've been having a lot of fun with it and the turn-based nature of it means I can take my time. I'm still in a little shock at just how atmospheric and stylish it is, they did a good job.

If you're stuck and looking for something new, Steam has two interesting sales going on right now. Their Aussie Sale 2019 runs until Monday and their Global Game Jam Sale is also on until tomorrow!

There's also the GOG Weekly Sale, there's a few days left on the Humble Double Fine Presents Bundle and the Caffeine bundle both with great games.

What are you playing and what do you think about it?

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoLife is Strange IS an indie game.....

I have no comment on the multiple accounts in Steam issue.

I just wanted to point out that what you linked to is the very definition of not being an indie game. "Indie," from a purely technical viewpoint, means that the developer and the producer/publisher are the same company. The game was developed and produced in an independent manner. In actuality, the intended definition of "indie" means that the producer/publisher was not one of the big video game publishers that produce games using many different developers (that is, even if the development for the particular game involved was done in house by a big publisher, that doesn't really make the game "indie"). Since the developer is a separate company from the producer/publisher of the game, and Square Enix definitely is one of the big video game producers, this game is not an "indie" game in any way, shape, or form.

I agree with the technical definition.
But "Indie" is also used for low budget.

But then Grow Home from Ubisoft is also indie :) it even ticks other boxes like being simple, innovative and runs on Linux :)

Could be any number of half finished games, but probably DA Inquisition, possibly testing it with various wine/proton builds.
