Quoting: KelsDo you have to have the games installed for it to pick them up? I own Hand of Fate on Steam, but it says "not found in Steam library".

You just have to own them and you need to set you Steam profile to "public". Also, you need of course to connect your GOG and Steam accounts for it to work.

All of which I've done, and there were three other games that did transfer.

A couple of those weren't installed either, so I have no idea why it won't recognize that one game.

Quoting: KelsOh, I missed that part. Personally, I'd rather have the choice between campaign and sandbox, given the choice.

So, given the choice, you'd like to be given the choice?

Yes, that would be choice.

Unlike Tropico, which Haemimont Games previously worked on, they're going for a more sandbox approach instead of following some sort of campaign.

Oh, come on!!! I hate open-ended games like that, a Campaign is the way to go. I like to play games like if I was reading a book, follow along an interesting, captivating story, not arranging random pieces of loosely coupled fragments of tales here and there. I guess I'll have to buy [url=undefined]Maia[/url] instead.

Of course most city builders haven't got much in the line of a story, just a tutorial, but I think a science fiction concept like this is more suited to one.

I like exploration a lot, but there's nothing in the trailer or description that entices me to try this one. Having to install libraries is a turn-off too.

Quoting: PhiladelphusAnyone with a telescope can look at Mars by eye (as I've done, as an astronomer) and verify that it actually is that color. No conspiracy theories needed. :)

You can also visit Mauna Kea in Hawaii if you'd like an example of someplace that red here on Earth (it's the best Mars-analog we have, they test rovers there before sending them to Mars).

The famed "bright red mud" of Prince Edward Island in Canada (excellent potato growing soil) comes to mind as well.

Quoting: SamsaiThe only positive thing I can really say about World of Castles is that it has plenty of shatters.

It's almost like they're infinite!

The design of the environments oddly reminds me of Stardew Valley.

Looks really good in terms of gameplay, although the dead-eyed, expressionless characters still freak me out too much.

Quoting: 14I kinda wish there was just one annual Steam sale. Man, when that first one landed years ago during a winter that I was trapped in another State due to a snow storm, it was amazing! I was so pumped! I spent over $100 on that sale. But now, there have been so many sales that I have a pile of games I've never played. I'm not very excited to get new games, even if they're brand new, because I don't know when I'd even play them. I'm just now playing through The Witcher 3 for the first time since buying it on Black Friday last year.

I know what you mean. It used to be an event, something to get excited about. But now it's like eh, there's gonna be another one in a couple of months anyway (or what, three before the end of the year?) so what's the big deal? Plus the fact that I have a lot less money for games these days, so I'm less likely to buy something on the spur of the moment anyway.
