I'm really looking forward to the Enchanted Edition too. I hope it has cross-platform co-op.

Don't forget about Football Manager 2015!

Quoting: GuestTo get an enjoyable experience I had to reduce the GPU setting to Medium (on a GTX 660), halve the mouse sensivity, and enable mouse smoothing. Much better afterwards :).
I had forgotten about it but I actually also turned down the mouse sensitivity after playing through the first puzzle and thinking the camera felt too jumpy. That would explain why I went from ~30-40 fps to ~40-50 fps. Haven't tried mouse smoothing yet though.

Quoting: EKRboiI just stumbled upon a free sigils mini game from them to help warm you up ;) I see a few people from here have played it that are in my friends list.

Sigils of Elohim [External Link]
Yeah, we actually covered that in an article. ;)

I got some pretty extreme frame rate drops during transitions and a few big ones while walking. Other than that the game was mostly between 40-50 fps, which was much better than I'd expected on my 2 year old laptop with a GeForce GT 630M.

I also really enjoyed the puzzles and had a neat conversation with the "developer console" AI. I collected 2 stars but I suspect there are at least a couple more hidden away somewhere.

Maybe we can convince Samsai to do a GOL Cast of it as well. :)

That looks pretty neat. I'm in the middle of too many games as it is at the moment though, so I'll probably hold off buying until there's more content in the game. Seems like the kind of game that would be perfect for Steam Workshop integration.

Quoting: musojon7417.99 euro / 26.99 uk pound? Bizarre exchange rate. Looks very good though.
Indeed. I was looking at the prices with the Steam Enhanced browser plugin before. When checking Steam directly with the "cc" query parameter however, I get $33.99 / 33.99€ / £25.49. It also looks like the pre-order discount changed from 10% to 15%, though the widget still says 10%.

Quoting: EKRboiDepending on cost I plan to go ahead and pre order this one. I am absolutely intrigued and SS3 runs well so I assume this will too.
They've determined the price now: $35.99 / 17.99€ / £26.99. It's more than I would usually pay for a game (since I mostly buy indies) but I figure it's so rare that a higher budget game actually appeals to me that it's worth it. Waiting for closer to release though, in case there are news of delays or something.

Quoting: Segata SanshiroPhilosophy in games is a great idea! There were already a few things in there about being free out of choice or being forced to be free - that's the kind of stuff games should have (as long as they're not presented in a ridiculous JRPG manner where it turns out that all existence is the creation of some guy with dark sunglasses and spiky hair).

Going to keep my eye on this one. Really enjoyed The Swapper so hopefully this will be just as good or better and along similar lines :)
100% agreed. Really curious about which direction they go with the story and how it will tie in with the gameplay. Definitely picking this one up before release.

Quoting: wolfyrionjust a note to fix the links all the links point to serious sam....
Thanks. Don't know how I missed that but it's fixed now.
